735.11.13 | Introductions Due - Vaeyla - 02.Oct.17 "I want you to meet someone today, two someones really.", she told Nadioth while she and Digger checked her over for any cracks or peeling skin. She received no true answer, simply the warm feeling of connection between their bond and the sense of curiosity, so she continued with a little smile. "The first is my son, Evritt.", she told her as she oiled under her right wing. To her words Nadioth lifted her head and turned it just enough to set one swirling blue eye on her rider. The rush of love that filled her was still so new that she paused and just let it ash over her, a smile on her face. Some time later Vee found herself completely out of breath and throwing her hands up in the air, defeated and falling to the sand with an, "Oof!", as she tried to catch her breath. She had spent the better part of the last hour and change chasing the two of them back and forth along the beach, panicking that Nadioth was hurt, then that Evritt had face planted and eaten dirt, then back to being afraid for Nadioth. At some point after their initial introduction, Nadioth had decided that she had in fact liked her rider's little human and claimed him as her own, like she had claimed Vaeyla, though obviously it wasn't the same. Their little game of chase had started when Evritt had first fallen. Both Vee and Nadioth had run to make sure he was alright, though Nadioth had only gone because Vee had. Vee had stood him up and brushed him off and checked him over before letting him run off again. Nadioth, for all her having just been hatched herself, took it upon herself to chase after him with her awkward, lopsides gait, to make sure he didn't fall again, and ended up falling herself. She had cried and moaned until Vee had her in her arms and checking her over while Evritt had hugged her muzzle like he generally did to Ironth, then brushed all the sand off her the best he could, which for some reason impressed and amused Nadioth to no end. Vain creature that she was, she liked the attention the little one gave and so they had started chasing each other up and down the beach, falling down, checking each other over, then off again. Vee had only given up chasing them because Nadioth wasn't truly falling anymore and was no longer hurt, she was "falling" for the amusement and attention of, Evritt, who would run over, "push" her up, which was hilarious because Nadioth was simply standing up slowly as he helped her up, then stood there smug as he brushed her off. She in turn would use her muzzle to push him up, though more often than not he was pushed over and ended up in a fit of giggles. She simply shook her head and watched them as closely as a gold watched her eggs on the sands, distracted only when Digger popped out of Between over her head. She had sent her little flit to find K'ton, to invite him and Ironth to join them, to properly and finally meet Nadioth, and her to meet them. It had been a few days and she missed his being around, missed being around him, she just had to remember to block any feelings she had toward him, which wouldn't be easy but she knew she could do it, because she had to. Digger rubbed his head against her cheek and she loved on the bronze firelizard who relayed images of K'ton and Ironth that she took to mean they would join them soon enough. He chirped at her then took flight to go chase after Evritt and Nadioth. "Oh sure, all of you just abandon me, I see how you are..", she said to no one in particular. Jenn RE: 735.11.13 | Introductions Due - K'ton - 18.Nov.17 K'ton laughed out loud as Serene gave a short croon before a bit of displaced air announced the arrival of Digger. Ironth let out a quiet bugle before circling once upon landing, the brown hopping a bit before finding his feet. Land was not his strong suit and he knelt as K'ton jumped from his back. "Vee!" the man called out with a wave of his arm, his excitement at seeing her and meeting the little gold was obvious on his face and his bright blue eyes lit up with it. He stopped himself short of dragging her to him and laying a wet kiss on her mouth, something he'd missed far more than he admitted and settled instead for saying, "Well? Where is the precious bit of dragon skin? Are you going to introduce us or not?" Vaeyla RE: 735.11.13 | Introductions Due - Vaeyla - 25.Dec.17 Nadioth and Evritt played and played some more, until Evritt fell down between Nadioth's paws one last time, unable to run anymore. He would sleep well that night, Vee was certain of it. Nadioth was content to lay with him, wings spread slightly as she let the sun warm them. Evritt was sitting with his back against Nadioth's chest with Digger on his lap, who was staring up at Nadioth, who was still doing her best to ignore him. Although she was slightly curious about him, he was mostly annoying as he flapped, chirped, and made a general nuisance of himself anywhere he went. Well...she thought he was a nuisance, but the little human liked him so Nadioth was inclined to not eat him, but she still didn't like him very much. Nadioth had just ruffled Evritt's hair by breathing in it, which caused an uproar of giggles from the child, when Ironth appeared above them in the air, bugling a greeting before he circled and landed. "Ironth! K'ton!", came the excited call of a suddenly overexcited child. He never seemed to tire of seeing the large brown or his rider, though to be fair, Vee never tired of them either. Evritt jumped up, displacing Digger with an unhappy screech and causing Nadioth to jump up and hop back a step, startled to no end. She wasn't certain if she was more annoyed by the sudden change in the child, or curious as to what was so special about this dragon and his rider. Evritt had jumped up and down in place as he watched Ironth circle and look for a place to land. "Come on Nadioth!", he said cheerfully. "Come see!" He had bounced again then ran off, stopping every few feet to make sure the gold was following him. Which she was, though rather slowly. By the time K'ton had made it to his mother, Evritt had launched himself at Ironth's waiting muzzle for his usual 'hug'. His reaction and following interaction puzzled the gold, who had stopped near a rather large rock to watch from a distance. She was already not fond of sharing her rider with other people, and this one was likely to be no different. Vee gave K'ton a cheerful smile as he approached, though her cheeks tinted slightly. She could tell from his appearance he had put some effort into coming to see them, and it warmed her heart. He meant so much to her, to Evritt and she wanted Nadioth to like him, to accept him. Her heart had sped up just a bit upon seeing him, but she had taken a deep breath and made herself calm down. She had been about to call to her but K'ton's question caught her off guard and distracted her. "She's just there.", she told him with a smile and a nod in Nadioth's direction. "Patience, Sir.", she said with the slightest bit of her usual sass. Looking back at her dragon with a smile she proceeded to invite her to join them. "Nadioth, come over here, love. Come meet my...friend." She had paused to stop herself from saying something else, something that Nadioth wouldn't understand. She felt a little like she was betraying K'ton, but she knew he would understand. She did turn and give him an apologetic look though, because it was weird, after all, they had been through, for her to call him just her friend. She could tell her rider liked this person and Evritt was obviously fond of the person's dragon, which annoyed her because now he wasn't giving her all his attention. Speaking of, the child was bouncing up and down in front of the browns large eye, telling him about Nadioth and how much fun they had had, and that he just had to meet her. He stopped then and put a hand on his hip, like he'd often seen Vee do, pointed a finger at the brown, again like he'd seen his mother do to K'ton or himself often enough, and told him, "But you better be nice to her, 'cause she's special." Then he whispered at the whirling eye, "She's a gold dragon.", he told him in all seriousness as if the brown had no clue how special that made her, and Vee nearly doubled over laughing at the hilarity of her son, scolding Ironth over Nadioth. "Well then.", she said with a smile at K'ton. "K'ton, this is my Nadioth, Nadioth, this is K'ton and his dragon there is.." K'ton |
