J’ver was also highly amused and secretly congratulated Vixen for a job well done. Not many could boss around S’kef or manipulate him so beautifully but his sweet gold had done both like a professional. It made for a proud greenrider and J’ver finally managed to pick up his baby girl, placing her on his shoulder as he stood. “It looks like a couple more have a chance at survival but I’ll make a deal with you both. Since S’kef agreed to help one, I’ll let someone know where these ones are and they can deal with it.” J’ver had no interest in carting around eggs, especially if there stood a chance they were already beyond help. Carrying around dead flitters still in their shells? How utterly morbid that would be!
Vixen seemed soothed enough at the idea and stirred up no further trouble and returned to her usual fussing and chittering softly as she nuzzled J’ver’s neck. He gave her another pat to the head and sent her an image of the two dragons, asking her to go check on them. Vixen hesitated a moment, eyeing S’kef thoughtfully before vanishing and reappearing above Tyrrisath’s head. She chirped in greeting and curled up on the brown’s paw without invitation. Napping in the sun sounded lovely!
“She’s worried you’ll put it back,” J’ver explained when he caught sight of the glaring firelizard before Vixen finally left. “But I know you keep your word and will bring the egg home.” He wasn’t sure if S’kef would keep it himself given the way he had worded his defeat in the matter but J’ver suspected Vixen wouldn’t allow that egg to leave their hut until it was a hatched and healthy flit. He wondered what kind of mothering skills were developing in his little girl and if he should worry. Time would tell soon enough, J’ver imagined and boldly stepped into S’kef’s space to wrap his arms around the brownrider’s neck.
“Would you like a prize for being so kind, master?”
