She offered a smile at the greeting, though it wasn't an overly friendly one. She would take the acknowledgement over scorn or being ignored any day. She straightened the loose tunic that hung over a light brown pair of pants. As usual, she felt a little self conscious about her appearance. She often felt out of place or out of fashion she supposed. Don't be absurd. You're perfect as you are. Thank you, love You're welcome. Dark eyes turned to see her dragon swimming about as if she hadn't a care in the world. Of course not. I only care for you and myself, and we are fine. Vee smiled and shook her head ever so slightly before turning back to where Indivara sat fishing.

The agreement that the area was generally vacant told her that this was one of her preferred locations, even though she wasn't living at Ista. "It's a favorite place of mine, though I do not get to come often enough.", she told her quietly as she walked about, looking for a place to lounge. It wasn't hard to understand why Indivara liked the spot, even with all the rocks and ledges. Most people avoided it for the sandy beaches on the other side of the island, but that was too crowded. Vee wasn't overly fond of being crowded for long periods of time, if it wasn't something that was required. She smiled as she watched the blue rider's firelizards fighting over a chunk of meat and wondered where Digger was. Just like that, he popped out of Between and circled her before landing on her shoulder. He pressed his head against her cheek as he wrapped his tail around her arm. He watched the other two firelizards with interest but remained on her shoulder as she scratched him lightly. 

She felt Nadioth's interest in something and found that she had quit swimming and was leaving the water slowly, but stopped before her paws touched the sand, and was looking at Venseth. Be. Nice., she reminded her dragon, who sent her a small feeling of annoyance. Good Morning to you as well, Venseth., responded politely. Her tone was soft and gentle but friendly none the less. Contrary to her rider's concerns she actually didn't mind most dragons, as long as they weren't rude or bothersome. She and her rider spent their days with golds and bronzes, so she was unfamiliar with most of the other dragons, except to know their named and their rider's. This particular blue seemed to have some manners in his head, for which she was grateful and approved of. 

She rumbled softly and flicked her tail back and forth in the water as she considered his invitation. She did enjoy laying in the sun, she particularly liked how the sun warmed her and make her hide shine. I would be glad to join you. Thank you., she answered after she thought about it. She stood in the shallows, deciding if she really wanted to walk across the sand. She really didn't want to, sand between the toes would be an annoyance, however flying the short distance would be a waste of energy. She left the water finally and picked her way as gingerly as she could across sand and rocks, making her way to where Venseth was resting in the sun. She lay near enough that she didn't seem like she didn't want to be near him, but far enough away that she could comfortably spread her wings out and not hit him. She rumbled happily at the feel of the warm sun on her hide. 

Vaeyla had taken her eyes off Indivara long enough to watch Nadioth as he had moved to lay near the blue. She smirked just a little as she had watched her pick and choose where she stepped. There would be a bath in her future later in the day. As soon as possible. I already feel filthy. You didn't have to swim first., she teased her dragon. Nadioth ignored her, which had made Vee shake her head, and instead turned her attention to the dragon before her. Does your rider like to tease you as mine does me?

Pulling her eyes from Nadioth again as a breeze came off the ocean. Vee closed her eyes and smiled as the wind swept over her, bringing with it the smell of water and salt to her, and the crashing of waves against the rocks elevating her mood even more. When Indivara spoke again she opened her eyes and looked over at her. She had very rarely seen her up close, the scars on her face were a heavy reminder of what she had been through. Vee made a point to not pay any attention to them, or as little as possible, which wasn't easy considering she had to look at her, to speak to her. "Oh, well that's good. Can't really go wrong with fish.", she replied pleasantly. She lifted a brow at her next question, a small grin twitched the left side of her lips up. "If it's a big enough catch to be worth cooking, then yes, I can cook them.", she answered, her tone friendly and maybe slightly teasing. She didn't know too many women that's couldn't cook fish, at least not the ones from Katilla.  I will never understand why you humans insist on ruining fish by cooking them, commented from her sun spot. I will attempt to explain it to you some day. Lovely, was all she received in response.
