He'd faded into his own head sometime during the hatching, wanting nothing more than to go to sleep for the next year. Hisses from fighting dragonets drew his attention, and he blinked. He thought dragons didn't fight. Or then again was that only true for the adults? How did the establish dominance, other than by hide color?
He would later find it almost funny he was reflecting on dominance when the Yield egg cracked shell. The bronze stopped the fighting and when he went to do more, Terken finally identified the sensation in his own skull. "None of that, come here so you can eat, Indrith!" The dragon seemed as surprised as his newly bonded to be brought to heel and Terken wondered to himself what it meant that his first action upon impressing the bronze had been to bring him into line. It didn't bode well.
I'm a brown! A hungry brown! Let's eat! Then we can play! Thank Faranth. A bronze would have been so much trouble with his father. The dragon had reached his side and Terken found his fingers touching him, the young man blinking. Indrith leaned into him so hard that Terken nearly fell then led Indrith off the sands to food, nearly tripping his bonded twice due to his absolute insistence on being in contact with his bonded.
On the sands, Ravana suddenly added her grip to Casa's on Kela, then saw something she didn't want to see. T'rel was headed towards Terken and the other hatchlings and he didn't look happy. She stood with a murmured word to B'run and Casa, taking Kela with her. She knew the dog's dearest wish was T'rel between her jaws and would have no problem granting it if she couldn't stop him any other way.
She planned as she went and reached for the joy she felt for Terken. By the time she'd taken five steps, she looked like she was simply too excited to think about the protocols she was breaking, determined to congratulate Terken first.
She intercepted T'rel near the exit to the sands and towed him via grip on his arm and Kela's assistence to where she wouldn't be overheard. Her voice was low, a hiss of rage. "Are you insane? If Indrith doesn't kill you for what you're about to do, Kela will." She went quiet long enough for the dog's snarl to be heard, and added, "And if you survive, I will kick the biggest hooraw I can manage. Back down and be polite to your son later. Our weyrleader rides brown for crying outloud, so you have no grounds for yelling at Terken for being chosen by one." Knowing he was uncertain, she added, "Back down now and all anyone will think this was is an overexcited greenrider ensuring she greets Terken first."
He looked at her pissed, and Ravana shifted her grip, shocked when he backed down. There would be consequences for this later...but they would happen when they happened. With a grin that she hoped would be enough to give onlookers that impression, Ravana said loud enough to be heard, "Thank you for letting me congratulate him first! It means so much to me!" She hauled Kela off with her, whispering praise of her once she was out of T'rel's earshot and looking for Terken.
Once she found him, she held the bowl so Terken could feed Indrith easier, offering a smile. "Congratulations." Kela was given an order to sit and stay, doing so with a whine, understanding it was important but not why. She wanted to give the new brown that seemed to like hers lots and lots of affection!
