A bark of laughter escaped him, and he threw his head back with it, thoroughly enjoying the absolute serendipity of it all. “I’m not sure what to be more surprised over: the fact that you seem to know each other already, or that it took until now to realize that I’ve been just terrible to have never formally introduced you to each other!”
The back-and-forth between the dragons and their new riders really was something else. He couldn’t say before that he’d ever hear more than a few words of dragon speech, and it was such an incredibly strange sensation each time. To have these two, plus the other newly hatched, all talking, some quite loudly, was really an overwhelming yet amazing experience. Absently, he wondered if either of these two would continue to talk to him directly once they’d grown…
Aederyn spun to get a couple of jars of oil, and he absently passed one of them to Zahrah. Was she actually scolding the new queen? His eyebrows raised as he watched for a moment before turning his attention back to the dramatic little green his sister had Impressed. Watching both pairs, he could see the appeal. Sighing contentedly, he scanned the area for Zarel. The child had run off, congratulating a new blue rider. Hm…after the feast, and after everyone had some sleep, he and Zahrah would need to discuss an arrangement for her. Dragons, he could see, were a lot of work. And so were children. He could spare a day or two, Venan was a forgiving sort. He’d talk with Zahrah later, after a day or two of rest. For now, it was best to just bask in it all.
