It was with a quiet sigh of relief that F’drel acknowledged R’dal’s smile, clear evidence that his apology had been accepted. He really hadn’t meant to upset the bluerider and it was good that R’dal had the cheeriest personality in the world — other than Halomirth, no wonder she liked him — and bounced back right away. F’drel even gave him a small, partial smile when R’dal sat down next to him, still wanting to reinforce he didn’t hate him and still wanted to be friends. Which was definitely weird for him, wanting to be friends with a bluerider, but F’drel figured he’d overanalyze that later. Probably after he’d slept and put some space between this whole… morning? Was it still morning? It had already been such a long day.
While her rider tried to figure out what time it was, Halomirth trilled softly at R’dal, sound warm with affection for him. Of course I am! she told him, not at all thinking about what had happened. R’dal was still her rider’s friend, so everything was good! The panic of earlier had been mostly forgotten, and it didn’t even occur to the green to blame R’dal. There was no way he’d tried to hurt F’drel, as far as she was concerned the boat flipping was an accident and no one was at fault. Boats just did that, didn’t they? They really were such unsteady little things.
Miri purred when Edath joined them, delighted that they were all cuddling again. Their riders were slightly damp, which was a bit strange against her hide, but it wasn’t bad. Everyone was safe and friends and she got to spend more time with everyone.
They just need a little help sometimes, she said fondly, knowing F’drel and R’dal were lucky they had her and Edath around. Still, she was a bit tired — swimming as fast as she could while fearing for her rider’s safety would do that to a dragon — so instead of chattering more, keeping up a running conversation with Edath, she simply shifted her weight to lean against him, crooning quietly.
