So far, so good. He knew that Charath was being tolerable of Talian's nerves, but it seemed as if the opportunity for her to genuinely like him was slipping by fast. Perhaps, when Talian got comfortable around dragons there'd be a chance for Charath to re-evaluate her estimation of the Healer. But, for now, simply agreeing to be nice to Talian was a miracle. Charath had already outright snubbed a few people he had talked to - if she didn't like someone, Erisi knew that she wouldn't bother with them. What attempts she was making to be friendly with Talian was being done purely for his own sake. She did not hate Talian, but she did not favor him either.
"She doesn't talk to anyone else," Erisi said with a small shrug of his shoulders, explaining his dragonet's apparent 'silence' towards Talian. "She won't even talk to Valerian, despite how much she praises him in conversation with me. I tried coaxing her into it already, and she's not interested." Talian was probably used to dragons who didn't mind talking to other humans, and barged in on his thoughts without a care. There were dragons like that, but there was also dragons like Charath, who took to few people beyond her bonded, and even those people she did take well to... she didn't feel like speaking with.
Charath sighed softly against Talian's hand, as if releasing a breath of nerves. No harm had come to her, and her bonded seemed pleased with the display. Charath knew he was stressed, knew that his worries about his new life were creeping back up on him. It was a lot of emotion, and Charath was still too young to properly deal with her own emotions and her bonded's. This was much better and easier on the both of them, this lull of peace. You are happy?
"Yes." he answered to Charath and then to Talian said, "She's pleased to meet you too."
Liar. I didn't say that.
