T’ryn stared at the sheet that had been offered to him, trying to decide if he should feel relieved or insulted. He didn’t know her well but knew enough to know Mulrissa wouldn’t do something to purposely insult or offend. If anything, she always seemed rather calm and poised. Maybe that was part of the trouble he was having right then. He knew her as a friend of his father’s and she was always so nice to him and while he didn’t want to say she was motherly, especially while they were naked in bed together, that kindness was appreciated and he respected her. When she grabbed a blanket to throw over her own shoulders, it only proved his thoughts about her and a tiny little crooked smile appeared as he grabbed the sheet and draped it over his lap.
“Fine,” he answered automatically though he really wasn’t fine at all. So many questions swirled through his head that T’ryn wondered if he could just lie down and sleep a bit longer. Some of that desire to sleep was likely due to how exhausted and stiff he was starting to feel from the Flight. And that was another thing; it was his first time and he didn’t think it was appropriate to ask how he did, especially since Mulrissa wouldn’t have remembered much for what they did together and it was her first Flight as well so it wasn’t like they could trade compliments in that area either.
And how would their Hatching go? Syrendryth was clutchmates with Rhezalth!Rhezalth is too good to be the cause of that mess and so am I. We come from a better gene pool. Now stop worrying; you’re ruining my good mood this proper gold has put me in. T’ryn was about to apologise when that silky voice entered his mind but something the dragon had said made him pause. A proper gold? If Casa didn’t kill him, Thallyath would! How could they chase another gold pair when he was dating Casa? This was all Syrendryth’s fault and T’ryn wasn’t sure he wanted to talk to his dragon anymore. At least that panic cleared a bit more fog from his brain.
“Overwhelmed, actually,” T’ryn knew Mulrissa was genuine in her questioning his well-being and she deserved an honest answer. The fact that she hadn’t kicked him out was also nice. He didn’t expect an invitation to stay the night or anything – and would have panicked about how to turn her down if she did – but giving him time to adjust to everything that had happened and what it all meant was more helpful than she may have known.
“This was the first Flight we entered.” Another thought occurred to him when he stopped staring at the sheet he hadn’t realised he was fiddling with and looked back up to Mulrissa. Did she have a mate or someone she was seeing? Was he bronze or even brown? Had she hoped he would her first Flight? He secretly hoped Syrendryth would win Thallyath’s whenever she decided to Rise. “I hope you’re not… disappointed… with the results. Maybe you had someone else in mind and my bronze mountain got in the way.”
