I am not going to bite him.
"He doesn't know that."
Then why don't you tell him?
"Why don't you?" It seemed that pointless bickering would be a thing between Erisi and his new dragonet. For a moment he was completely distracted from Talian by the little green, who naturally nearly demanded all of his attention. Their bond was new, but it was certainly strong. Erisi had never shown such outward care for any being beyond himself - even Talian would never quite earn the attention that Charath did. It was no insult to his friend, merely just the nature of their bond.
I am not talking to him. He is your friend. Charath responded, and Erisi sighed. As Talian dared to venture closer, Charath dared to mess with him a little more, just because she knew her bonded wouldn't approve. She sucked in a deep breath, rumbling as deeply as she could in her chest in an attempt to 'scare' him. It might have had more impact if Erisi hadn't lightly slapped her nose. She stared up at him, eyes wide, and squawked pitifully.
"Charath, yes. Don't mind her - she's trying to play with you." Erisi gave her a look that said she better be playing nicely at that. "Well, uh, I guess. I mean, she sort of completes me in a way. They say the bond is strong, and it is. But, I hardly feel a sense of duty or obligation to this Weyr. I feel... confused. I really didn't think this would happen."
