“Veeth has a tendency to keep me busy with making sure he’s presentable but I don’t mind too much. Now that he’s hitting growth spurts, I’m a pro with making sure his hide’s not cracking.” Valerian caught the implication behind the question, or rather, he chose to believe Talian was asking more about his well-being than hoping something horrible had happened to the adorable blue dragonet. Valerian had no illusions of converting his friend into becoming a dragon lover but he did cling to the sliver of hope that Talian would become comfortable around Veeth one day, although that wasn’t the point of them getting together that night.
At Talian’s confession, Valerian glanced over and even in the dim light could see the smile. Now that was a rare sight. It was hard to decide which of them smiled the least though Valerian could crack a grin at the misfortune of some people and was therefore inclined to say it was the Healer. “Good. I’d hate to think I was the only one who felt that way or was brave enough to mention it.” He gave a small smile in return before leading them a little ways more to where Veeth was curled up on one of the blankets.
“It’s nothing fancy but this is one of my favourite spots to sleep when the barracks are too loud. Figured it was also a good place to bring you so we can hang out and stargaze.” He hadn’t forgotten their mutual interest in the activity though they hadn’t ever really found the time to partake in it together. Veeth got to his feet to quickly move off the blankets when the humans approached though he didn’t bounce around in excitement like he often did when around his siblings he liked. Valerian had a feeling Veeth was attempting to play it cool in order to help make Talian comfortable, which was appreciated. Hello, Talian! I’m glad you could join us.
Valerian flopped down on the ground and laid one of the blankets out over his legs with room for Talian to join him before grabbing the other and slinging it over his shoulders, again leaving room for his friend to take up the other half if he so chose. It wasn’t anything fancy and given Valerian’s lack of a romantic bone outside of writing or reciting songs, he saw the set up as nothing more than a way to stay warm while spending time with a friend.
