Jenath nosed at the bowl, stepping toward it and subsequently dipping a wingtip into the sand, bending it awkwardly. Ouch! A whimper escaped the green, causing Aederyn to hand her bowl off and right the offending appendage, feeling it over for any obvious damage. “Now, you’re just fine. It’ll just take a little time to get used to yourself. You’ll get used to those wings in no time.”
If a dragonet could be described as pouting, the green was doing just that. She nudged her lifemate piteously, eyes whirling with hunger and desire for reassurance. She itched. And her wingtips were sore from catching them. And she was pretty sure she scuffed her soft hide when she fell, earlier. And oh, she was so hungry! Aederyn offered more gobs of deliciousness, and, momentarily distracted by the mouthful, she wasn’t able to protest when her girl reached for the man who appeared at her back. Well, her girl seemed happy, and as long as she was still getting fed, she wasn’t objecting.
“Alekse!” She captured him in a fierce hug, laughing and crying and just so unbelievably happy! The happy tears came even harder when he said he was proud. That was all she’d really wanted, after all…
What about me? You want me, right? the question was so querulous that the redhead immediately let go of her brother, dropping to the green’s side, caressing the little creature’s nose and eye ridges. “Of course, luv. You are all I wanted and so much more!” She stood, finding another morsel of meat from a bowl held by a handy weyr helper. She stood again then, smiling as she introduced her green. “Alekse, this is Jen—”
Her mouth dropped open. Zahrah? With the gold! And Alekse, and the little girl? And… Wait, what? She could hardly believe she’d actually been right in her initial, fleeting thought when she’d met this candidate—rider. “You…?”
You’re smart. Of course you guessed right. Jenath chirped, bumping at her rider’s knees. My hide itches.
