He had known the answer before even asking the question. It was something they'd all discussed since some of them started to Impress. And while he certainly didn't fault her for that way of thinking or even think less of her for not wanting a dragon, R'dare wished she'd be open to the idea sooner rather than later. Madiquel was emotionally strong but he knew from experience how having that bond with a dragon was soothing and reassuring. She could relax around a dragon, like he saw her do with Clover to a lesser extent.
At the familiar reasoning for why she didn't want to Impress, R'dare sat up enough to lean on an elbow and reach out a hand to gently place on her arm, ensuring he kept her attention. "I think he'd understand when the day came that you want one. He's super ancient and had like a million amazing years with Denath; he'd want that for you to experience too." He gave her arm a light reassuring squeeze before dropping back to the ground, hands going up to play pillow again.
"And you know Rist and I will be cheering from the sidelines when you do Stand... and Impress at your first clutch. They'd all be crazy to pass you by." R'dare gave her a sly grin, showing his confidence in her. She made friends easily and a dragonet would be drawn to her just as quickly.
"I bet you'd ride blue," he couldn't see her on gold. Not that she wasn't a leader or a girly girl, it was just that --well, he couldn't even explain what the differences were but he suspected paperwork all day wouldn't appeal to her if nothing else. "Can you imagine yourself as a greenrider? That could lead to some interesting flights." R'dare laughed good naturedly as he thought about R'dal and himself giving chase to their friend. What if one won? What if neither did? Would they get protective over Madiquel and judge the winner and how he had treated her?
Blue. She'd hopefully ride blue.
