Talian managed a little laugh. "I...don't mind her being like you. You are my best friend, after all," he said. Tal wasn't sure what it was that attracted him to abrasive personalities. He'd been perpetually negative towards Larrikith for a variety of reasons, but perhaps he could look past it for this green dragon. He didn't even particularly mind if the little dragon disliked him, so long as it didn't upset Eri or cause any problems.
He gave her one more stroke as she pulled away. "She's a nice color," Tal conceded. "Will she stay that color, or will she change as she grows up?" The hatchlings all seemed rather bland compared to the adult dragons, though there was a certain crispness to their hues. Tal watched as Charath crawled away to rejoin her bonded. For now, Tal was satisfied. He still wasn't sure what to make of the little thing, but he'd been as honest as he could and there had been no disaster. That was a start.
"Congratulations, Eri," he added, though he wasn't sure what the proper etiquette was. He knew Eri hadn't wanted to be a rider, but he obviously loved his little dragon already. What a strange thing Impression was.
Tal felt awkward, but he also felt relieved. Eri's reassurance that he wasn't going anywhere was enough for Tal, and he suspected that even an effort to get along with Charath meant something to the man. He smiled and took a few steps closer, deciding to risk having a seat on the edge of Eri's bed. "So what happens now?"
