D'hys nodded at Erebuth's statement, agreeing with it entirely. "A dragon and a rider aren't much without the other. The best place to be is with each other but don't forget the best things that go with that are trust and communication." He gave first dragon and then rider a look that said he may not have seen everything but he knew enough. What was the point of looking out for them if they were going to be reckless and their worst enemy?
"I also won't take offence to Fort feeling like a cage. Any place that wasn't of your choosing can feel a bit stifling after a certain point." He wondered if the pair truly had to be left in Fort for so long or if the healers were taking advantage of the situation and keeping them longer than necessary so they could study them further. D'hys wasn't an expert for all of his snooping and asking questions but surely they could have started strengthening the wings sooner? On the other hand, caution was admirable in this regard and D'hys assumed the wait was to ensure further damage wouldn't be done.
D'hys thought for a moment about Iliyith and when her Hatching would be before nodding. It was about a month away from what he recalled of her Flight announcement. She also recently clutched if he wasn't mistaking her for another gold. Not that there were many gold dragons left. His temper flared for a moment but he stamped it back down. There was nothing he could do right then to stop the attacks and there certainly wasn't any way to save the golds that had already been slain. If his father truly did have a hand in it all and it wasn't just a diversion tactic by the real killer, D'ser was lucky he was already dead as D'hys would have made him suffer.
"Iliyith's Hatching is a good goal. Far enough away to get in practice but close enough that you won't continue to climb walls; figuratively or literally." D'hys cracked a small smile at Erebuth. That had been quite the sight to behold when he chanced upon the spectacle of the dragon slowly climbing up the Weyr wall not too long ago.
"Back to your caging... is there more I can do to help you? Do you need some more freedom or privacy? Any items you're in need of?" It wasn't the first time he offered to help, having done so a few weeks after it became clear the pair wouldn't be going anywhere for a while. D'hys also checked in from time to time but he'd gotten the sense the pair could be stubborn and proud and didn't always want to accept help. So he did what he could behind the scenes, a place where he did most of his work.
