"...skwee.... (...how was I supposed to know what a sackrasm is...)"
Although the group had already left the driad's village since after what almost happened none of the small monsters even dared to get out of their houses, the blue griffin was still made to stay under the dragon's wing - literally.
Blueberry's legs were dangling from underneath Baron's scarlet wing and she was screeching very much upset with her head against his side.
"(It is pronounced sarcasm and we already talked about it before. You simply aren't paying enough attention to what is going on around you. Seriously – that single brain-cell in your pigeon brain must be extremely lonely.)"
"Skwee... (...I don't care anymore...)"
Baron used his telepathy skill to correct Blueberry's mistake – and added some snarky comments on top of that - which only caused the blue griffin to get actually upset and start sulking for real - She even went ahead and did the best available equivalent of walking away - she turned her head and tucked her beak between her own body and Baron's scales.
"(Pigeon? Pigeon~?)"
"..."
The red dragon called out but the blue griffin stayed silent and didn't respond to him at all.
"Haa... now he has done it..."
Cranberry breathed out and shook her head watching the scene play out from Zombie's lap.
"If you are constantly cold and never show any warmth, how is she supposed to know that there even is any warmth, to begin with?"
The red-haired girl breathed out and leaned to the side to pat the dragon's back.
"(...)"
Baron flinched and looked to the side, acting as if he didn't hear Cranberry at all, adamantly refusing to admit his mistake, while digging his massive claws into the road.
"...oohh...? Are you talking from experience? But then whose experience is it - miss I-didn't-told-you-I-can-understand-your-groans-all-along-for-seven-years? It cannot be yours, right...?"
"..ghhh...!"
The blue undead joined the conversation too, but in his case, he merely leaned down, rest his chin on Cranberry's right shoulder, and asked while glaring at her with accusation.
"Ha?! That's a completely different story! Besides, Cranberry from the first playthrough showed you plenty of affection even before she admitted that she can understand you!"
The red-haired girl blushed heavily and declared while immediately facing the other way, acting just like the red dragon and turning away while calling out.
"...mhmm... sure, sure... of course... hey! Are you listening...?"
"..."
Zombie stared at her for a few seconds, but then, when he realized that she will not turn back he simply...
*mlem*
"KYAAH!"
...licked the red-haired girl's neck and make her jolt up with an embarrassing, high-pitched scream...
"You...! You rotten brain! What do you think you're doing?!"
*smack*
Cranberry went from embarrassed straight to being angry and she called out, slapping on Zombie's arm with an angry expression.
"Nothing much - just wanted to point out there's a group of quite strong-looking monsters a mile or two in that direction and wanted to take you with me."
The blue undead shrugged his shoulders while pointing at the forest as if he didn't just do something embarrassing.
"Ha...? Wha...? I... I guess that's alright...?"
"Perfect~"
The red-haired girl was thrown for a loop and didn't really know how to respond other than agree with the smiling undead knight's proposition.
"Baron, you and Blueberry can sit this one out - see you in an hour."
Zombie called out, grabbing the red-haired girl and picking her up in a princess carry, before jumping down the dragon's back and rushing towards the direction he has pointed beforehand.
And that left Baron alone with the sulking griffin under his wing.
"(...)"

The red dragon made sure that his master actually left before breathing out heavily and slowly moving his head towards the tucked-away griffin.
*mlem*
"SKWEE?! (KYAAH?!)"
Then he turned quickly licked Blueberry's neck and she reacted just like Cranberry did before - with a shocked squeak of embarrassment.
"Skwee! (Stupid lizard!) Skwee...? (Who do you think you are...?)"
*mlem*
Blueberry screech angrily, but then the front of her beak got licked by the dragon's split tongue too, and the blue griffin went silent.
"(I will say that once, and only once okay...?)"
Baron muttered while his eyes didn't want to focus on Blueberry and he kept looking away.
"(...I am... sorry... I didn't want to upset you...)"
The red dragon ended up apologizing, and it really sounded as if this was his first apology to anyone other than his master.
"...skwee... (...I will not forgive you...)"
"GHROAR...?!"
Blueberry let out a tiny screech and made the whole dragon jump up in shock and actually let out a real, bellowing growl of confusion, which was completely unexpected since Baron was always using the telepathy skill instead of communicating with noises he made.
"...skwee... (...unless you give me another kiss...)"
The blue griffin added, slowly raising her head to look into the large dragon's eyes.
"(...seriously, don't scare me like that...)"
Baron breathed out in relief before rubbing his nose against Blueberry's beak.
"...skwee...? (...how about that sackrazm...?) Skwee? (Who is laughing now?)"
The blue griffin scoffed, stretching her neck to prolong the contact for as long as possible.
"(No, seriously – that's not what sarcasm is, you pigeon.)"
The red dragon sighed before his tongue showed up again and affectionately licked the griffin's beak.
"She has him wrapped around her little talon, huh?"
Zombie smirked, watching the situation play out from a distance.
"Oh, if we use a human measurement of time, Baron might be older than Blueberry – but if we take into consideration how long it takes for griffins and dragons to reach maturity in their respective species, then Baron is actually the freshman trying to impress the playful senior."
Cranberry – who was also observing the situation, safely, from behind Zombie's wide back – explained with a boastful expression brimming with self-satisfaction from being so knowledgeable on the subject.
"That's how it looks through the expert's eyes... and while we are at it, so now you are even giving the examples from my previous world? Aren't you adorable?"
"...!"
Zombie smirked and lean in, leaving a quick kiss on the girl's forehead.
"...say, are they even any monsters in this direction...?"
Cranberry fidgetted and tugged grabbed onto his arm, looking up at him with expectations.
"Nope~ I just wanted to leave those two alone to see what will happen, and I was not disappointed."
Zombie shrugged his shoulders dismissively and revealed.
"...only that...?"
The red-haired girl lowered her head and asked in a hopeful voice – which caused an evil-looking smirk to bloom on Zombie's face.
"No, not only because of that."
He responded and turned around to face her.
