A’tay was certain his heart stopped when Madiquel took his hand to examine the reminders of the night he Impressed, her touch so gentle and caring. He was doing his best not to think about how wonderful it would be for her to do that always and have it followed up by a kiss since nothing ever came out of wishful thinking. Besides, he still had a young dragon to consider, though Xyxyth was probably mature enough now not to mind sharing A’tay’s affection. Still, he had a feeling it was a one-sided thing anyway given the lack of any signs Madiquel gave that she liked him more than a friend so hiding the feelings from everyone, especially his friendly and pushy dragon, was the way to continue on.
It also wasn’t the important topic at the moment. Madiquel was going to move to Healer Hall and pursue a dream of hers and A’tay couldn’t be happier for her. He did frown a bit at the confession about never wanting to Impress, though he’d known that for a long time. It wasn’t something everyone wanted and while it was a bit odd for a ‘brat, he never thought less of Madiquel for it, especially now that she had a path open to be a Healer. That was an important role and one she would be great at with her compassion and ability to absorb information.
He was about to bring that all up but the slip up of his name made him leave that topic alone—especially since Madiquel looked a bit uncomfortable with it. “It’s weird, huh? It’s taken me a long time to get used to answering to A’tay. You can still call me Ayontay, if you want.” Sure, he was a baby bronzerider with a dragon that thought they could be Weyrleader one day, but he was Madiquel’s friend first and for much longer. What did honorifics and titles mean between friends?
