“Oh, goodness, don’t give her ideas. That would be an awful hassle for both of us.” Mulrissa laughed, imagining her dragon eating a Candidate. She knew Bedith would never do such a thing, of course, but it wasn’t hard to picture her doing it. The silly gold cared too much about her image to ever risk it by hurting anyone. And really, it’s not like Bedith would really have to deal with the consequences so much as Mulrissa would. Was there anything anyone could do to her if she ate someone? Would they stop a gold from rising? Could they? Rissa didn’t know. Not worth worrying about since it would never happen, but an interesting question to be sure.
“Firelizards on the other hand,” Rissa added with a droll smile, “are fair game for eating.” Honestly, Bedith probably wouldn’t eat a firelizard either, but it was much more likely than her eating a Candidate. Bedith huffed irritably and uncurled from her dip in the sand, and glanced dourly at Rissa. I think I am done here today. the gold said stiffly, moving closer to the humans so Rissa could climb onto her for their return to their weyr. Mulrissa laughed again and gave Indivara a friendly pat on the arm.
“It seems my queen has decided it is time for us to leave. I’m sure we will see each other again soon enough, Indivara. I have no doubt that between you and Bedith this class of Candidates will be properly terrorized into good behavior.” Rissa stood up to begin heading over to Bedith, pausing for a moment to smile back at Indivara. “You know where I live if you need me for any reason, and you’re welcome any time.” she said, giving Indivara a polite nod in farewell before walking the rest of the way to Bedith and climbing aboard the gold. Bedith gave Venseth one more grumpy look before she took to the air to leave the Hatching Grounds.
