Quinvalis felt bad when he saw the green that seemed so timid and ready to hide with every chance she could get. He understood that desire and almost wished she had chosen him so they could help look after each other but he recognized the boy she went to and knew that would be a better match. The next green to appear made him smile and he enjoyed a moment of letting go of the fear that kept grappling him.
But that fear quickly returned when the blue that had deceived them all with a cheerful chirp started running toward him. He flashed back to the last time a blue ran at him and just like he had that day, Quinvalis found he couldn’t move or make a sound. He only closed his eyes and braced for the impact that would come and hope he survived another encounter though he didn’t think he would. He’d used up any luck he ever had.
However the impact didn’t come and he slowly opened his eyes to find the silly thing running laps around him. Quinvalis laughed—whether at his damned fear getting the best of him or the dragonet being adorable, he wasn’t sure—and hoped the little fella was appreciated by whomever he bonded with. When the dragonet finally came to a stop, something clicked into place and Quinvalis let out a soft, “oh,” the same time the hatchling toppled over.
With another soft laugh and tears sliding down his cheeks, Quinvalis dropped to his knees and brushed sand from the blue’s nose. “Oh, Dalsuth. What have you done?” Quinvalis couldn’t even stand currently yet the baby dragon still saw something worthwhile in him?
I fell, it happens but you just get up again and keep going, right, N’lis? The voice was a complete contrast to the bright hide as a soothing tenor washed over him and N’lis smiled.
“I guess so. I’m not very good at that, though.” Dalsuth wasn’t having any of the negativity in that moment as he got to his feet and shook some more sand free and stared at his mate.You’re constantly getting back up again, N’lis. We wouldn’t have met if you didn’t.
N’lis didn’t want to think too much on that statement right then, not in front of such a large crowd that could hear a lot of the conservation. Instead he stood up and pointed to where they were supposed to go. “How about we get you something to eat instead?” As he led his dragon off, he couldn’t help but smile and look for his mom and her reaction.
