Needle's Links
Needle didn't imagine himself frequenting the Whirl'Wing kingdom, the way that they flew in the air and stayed their always seemed a bit farfetched and strange, but he can't help and admire how free they are. Needle is quite happy to bring in the monthly supply of herbs and plants from the Rain'Wing kingdom to Argentavis if it means that he can talk with the quiet Whirl'Wing about things that interest him. Argent always seems to have interesting things to tell
Argentavis doesn't get out of the Whirl'Wing kingdom often, so to have the opportunity to trade with another tribe is certainly something to look forward to every month. He finds Needle strange, but nevertheless enjoys the brief company
Needle is wary of Finch to say the least. He doesn't mean to be, but the thought of being near a firescales, especially after the stories of Ex-Queen Scarlets pet monster, makes him feel unsafe and on edge. But he delivers the monthly supply of metal and fragranced candles to the sky'wing regardless, always attempting to make some sort of small talk
Needle is what Finch wishes she could be. All her life Finch has imagined of travelling the kingdoms, meeting all kinds of dragons and experiencing everything their is to experience. However, because of her fire'scales, Finch is confined to a very miniscule amount of places. She is a bit hurt that the dragon that she wishes to badly to be can't look at her without fear, but Finch doesn't blame him.
Needle was never a fan of crowds, and he had always planned to stay away from Sanctuary, but following a bad accident, Needle found that he needed medical attention quite desperately. Which is how he met Lorikeet. He finds the idea of a Rain'Wing not only out of their kingdom, but in the Sand'Kingdom of all places perplexing, but he soon grew to like the strange Rain'Wing. Now Needle is always sure to pay a visit to Sanctuary to trade with Lorikeet, thankful for his help.
Upon hearing how badly Lorikeet had been treated by the Night’Wings, Needle quickly grew a distrust of them, becoming reluctant to trade with any that he met along his travels
Lorikeet treated Needle as he would with any other patient. Kindness and civility, but at the end of the day, they would forget about him as he would after another dozen patients. But Needle was different, he came back. Not because he was ill or needed treatment, but simply because he wanted to say hello and thank Lorikeet for helping with his burn. Granted he also traded with Lorikeet, but he knew that Needle didn't like Sanctuary. Lorikeet always feels warm inside whenever Needle shows up, and he always keeps an eye out for the Sand'Wing when he goes outside to start work
Needle thinks that if Jackal took the stick out of her butt they might actually get along. He visits Queen Thorn at least once a month, but his visit is always cut short by Jackal and her pestering and spying. Queen Thorn would not care nor know if he stole the occasional jewel or trinket from her collection, but Needle knows that Jackal would somehow find out, and then proceed to insist that he be thrown in the dungeon. Needle finds Jackal’s insistence humorous however, and he finds enjoyment out of teasing her whenever he visits.
Jackal can’t imagine a more annoying character then Needle. She finds Needle to be dishonest and scheming, and she cannot believe just how much Queen Thorn loves him! Granted his wares are quite good quality, and she does occasionally buy some gorgeous armour and weapon pieces through him, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a snake! She knows that he would steal the scales off her back if she gave him a chance to.
Needle doesn’t know a huge amount about Terra. He’s only ever met her a few times, but usually Finch deals with organising the orders and stock. Needle hadn’t seen a silk’wing before seeing Terra so he was very inquisitive, but he thinks that maybe he scared her away at their first meeting. Which he feels is weird because he hardly ever finds someone who dislikes him for virtually no reason. Usually they hate him because he’s stolen a trinket from them or he has just annoyed them that bit too much, but Needle feels like he hasn’t actually done anything to make Terra so nervous of him. So he actively tries to say hello to Terra whenever he sees her on his travels, attempting to make some sort of connection with the silk’wing
Bug finds Needle very overwhelming. He’s loud, talks a lot, and keeps looking at her like she is his best friend. Which she’s not. She finds that just being around him exhausts her, and so she tends to stay away. She is getting a little bit annoyed at just how insistent Needle has been lately, and she’s been trying to think of ways to make it clearer that she really doesn’t want to be friends
Needle doesn't know much about the old Sky'Wing, not even his name, but regardless he thinks of the sky'wing highly. He would never have thought of trading with him, but while flying through the mountainside, he smelt the aroma of vanilla and ginger, wafting from a lone cave. Upon landing on the rocky outcrop he was nearly pushed off by Tanzanite, but was saved by the amount of paper and flowers that he happened to have on himself. The two quickly made a deal that Needle would bring Tanzanite a monthly supply of wax, flowers and coconuts, and in return Tanzanite would give Needle a large amount of candles, some of which he trades with others, and some of which he keeps for himself while he travels.
Tanzanite would have chased Needle off if it wasn't for the ribbonwood flowers that Needle had tucked inside his bag. Very reluctantly Tanzanite chose to create a deal with the camel, trading his obscene amount of candles for basic supplies and exotic goods, and Ribbonwood flowers
Needle has a deep distrust of Night'Wing's, and Star'Writer is no different. While he hasn't officially met Star, he has heard about him from Lorikeet, and that is all he needs to hear. He is astounded at how awful and deceitful the Night'Wings were, and as a result hates the entire tribe.
Star doesn't really know much about Needle. He knows that he trades with Lorikeet, so he can only assume how much he hates Night'Wings, but he tries not to hold a grudge against the Sand'Wing. Maybe he's actually nice, and has never met a Night'Wing before. Star doesn't know, but he doesn't exactly plan to prove Needle wrong either so Star tends to stay away from the Sand'Wing
Needle was fascinated by the stories that Tau told him of her home. It was unlike anything that he had ever experienced on his own continent, and he finds that he could listen to Tau talk for hours on end without getting bored. He is currently trying to subtlety persuade her to stay in Sanctuary, not wanting to lose his new friend
Tau enjoys Needle's company. While he is nothing like Centipede, he does still have goofy charm that Tau adores. Chatting with Needle feels like home, which Tau misses greatly. However the more time that she spends here, the easier it is for her to imagine a future far away from any Hive'Wings. Except of course Centipede. Tau is always happy to chat to Needle, and loves buying trinkets from him in exchange for her woven silk.
