She began to eat the fish in earnest, thinking over what he said. Gold rider...interesting thought. She didn't know if she wanted to change to have to be responsible. Or ignoring her friends, like goldriders seemed to have to do. "Nah," she said with a shrug. "I don't even own a skirt! I wouldn't be all dolled up and pretty, and I certainly wouldn't get rid of my friends. I like them far too much for that. If a Gold wanted me, she'd have to adjust to who I am!" She nodded confidently at this thought, grinning wryly as she saw right through his antics. "You'd make a good rider no matter what color you rode, that's for sure."
"Papa has some time for me...he's really often too busy, though. I was mostly raised by weyrfolk. I've gotten to known him since; see him at least once a month if I can, at least to touch base. I got lucky with him, that's for sure..." She knew many of the brats didn't know at least one half of their parents, and it made her a little sad. But she liked them all well enough that she tried to be a friend to them, and get as close to a family as she could. No one wanted to be by themselves.
"I'll haveta introduce you to my many dragon friends. I bet you get along with ALL of them! They are just as curious and full of personality as we are." She finished up her fish, brushing the last of the crumbles off her tunic and standing up to stretch slowly. As she noticed Quenym finish his food, she put dirt on the fire to put it out and padded over to the net, peeking into it. "Time to see if any more fish decided to be agreeable!" Yanking the net up, she found there was another 3 fish in the nets. She cheered. "Guess they were right! Fish do like to be caught right after a rainstorm."
