Even with the call for him to come in, Ayontay cautiously peeked inside to ensure it really was and then nearly ran inside from the excitement that was about to burst out of him. He laughed as he found Madiquel surrounded by half attempts at packing and let her babble on about it despite how much he wanted to jump in and show off his new little friend. Turned out he didn't have to wait long as her keen eyes landed on the new edition to their club and he laughed some more at her reaction. He knew he made the right choice coming to see her right away!
"He did; if you don't mind; Shadow," Ayontay tossed back the answers just as rapid fire as the questions came at him and he made himself comfortable on the bed, making sure Shadow wasn't jolted too much or afraid of the new surroundings and noise. He clucked a finger under the little blue chin and smiled at the cooing he received for it. He couldn't keep the smile from his face! He hadn't been this happy or felt so important in a long time. It was amazing what a small creature could do and he had to wonder what it'd be like to Impress to an actual dragon.
With Shadow settling into his lap, Ayontay occupied himself with the jar of oil for a moment, before wondering what the best way was to oil him. He'd help bathe and even oil dragons over the years but he usually let the owner of the firelizard handle that themselves since they were smaller and it seemed more personal. After a moment's consideration and a little help from Shadow holding out a wing, Ayontay figured a wing was a good enough place to start. Besides, as long as he got every spot, did it matter where he started?
"Shadow...," he repeated the name as he focused on gently rubbing the oil over blue hide, "because he'll always be there with me," Ayontay offered up before the question came. A small flush coloured his cheeks as he admitted the reason, knowing full well Madiquel knew what kids called him.
