A'tay was startled out of reading the short letter by Zezeth's voice and he stared at the dragonet with wide eyes. He hadn't expected her to talk while he was there, figuring he'd have to leave before she woke from her nap. But what did she mean by finally? Oh. A glance to Madiquel made it clear his friend was asleep and seemed like she was going to be that way for a while. He looked at the letter he was holding, wondering if she heard any of it, decided that was unlikely, and hoped she read it before Jajojin came--and killed him because Madiquel wasn't prepared or believed what she wanted.
Zezeth seemed to be doing well for only a day old and malnourished, A'tay thought as he watched her work her way across the room. She definitely wasn't stable on her feet but she was moving on her own and could feed as well. Both seemed like good signs to him! Maybe he'd pass that on to Jajojin. A'tay had no intentions of being a spy for him but it'd probably do him well to know the dragonet was already improving. This really was a worst case scenario for an ex-rider with a kid. Madiquel not only Impressed but to a sickly dragon that many didn't think would make it to a month old let alone graduation. Jajojin wouldn't be able to handle losing Madiquel whether she died or lost a part of her mind like he did, so reassurances that the pair was doing well might help him.
He nodded in agreement at the decision not to wake Madiquel, not even giving voice to it in case that would wake her. So he continued to watch Zezeth get comfortable and then they were having an accidental staring contest as the dragon stared at him. Suddenly unsure what to do, A'tay looked away and studied the paper he still held. She will be a wise dragon. She already watches and learns from everything around her.
A'tay nodded, forgetting for a moment that this voice in his head was one he could mentally reply to. He had been too focused on not moving or speaking, fearing he would wake Madiquel and it was clear she needed the rest if even Zezeth said as much. She's going to take care of DiDi, too. She's already so concerned for her well-being. He paused, wondering if he should add to the negative vibes, even if they were only in his head and shared with his dragon. His siblings sometimes teased him about how superstitious he could be but he couldn't help it.
She'll make it, right? Zezeth is already so much stronger than yesterday.
I think you answered your own question. They're both strong and will fight through their obstacles and win. Xyxyth was so confident, A'tay couldn't help but feel it as well and smiled. The smile extended to Zezeth and he gave a little nod, putting the final stamp of approval on the whole matter.
Still too afraid to move, A'tay leaned his head back against the wall and shut his eyes. He wasn't at all tired but it would stop him from being rude and staring at Zezeth.
