Madiquel’s expression brightened visibly, her eyes sparkling as she grinned at A’tay. “Yay!” She said, before dissolving into silly giggles since they’d just been teasing about that being his new name. Snorting softly, Madiquel shook her head. “I would never miss it!” She promised, still grinning wildly, “even if I have to be kidnapped by one of our friends!” She had no doubt that R’nya would collect her, if she asked, or Rhaedalyn if Aradissicath wasn’t on the Sands at the time, and that her Papa would prefer one of the Weyrleaders ferry her around – but Madiquel would not miss A’tay’s graduation and if that meant going behind her Papa’s back and sneaking a ride from one of their other friends or someone from A’tay’s rather extended family, well, she would.
Honestly, it made her feel rather daring and naughty! Also guilty, because it would upset her Papa, but mostly daring.
Madiquel squeaked when Xyxyth’s voice brushed against her mind, before turning her bright-eyed gaze upon the dragon, wondering what it was that he had. Her head tilted to one side, long hair falling forward over her shoulders. “Got what?” She asked, when it seemed as if the dragon was waiting for one of them to question him – or he had accidentally spoken to her, too, like when he was a baby and had finished his sentence with A’tay. Madiquel shifted her curious gaze to her friend, just as Xyxyth’s voice flooded through her mind once more.
A blank look was given to A’tay, before laughter bubbled up once more, punctured by her little snorts, at the redness of his cheeks as his dragon renamed them. “I love it!” She giggled, turning her fond expression upon Xyxyth and patting his side gently with her hand, the smooth feel of soft dragonhide under her fingers. “Thank you, Xyxyth.” She laughed again, at the mentioning of a Lady being renamed, and Madiquel bit her bottom lip to try and curb her smile. “Xyxyth is good at naming,” she said, mock serious, but all her teasing was aimed at A’tay’s exhausted expression and not at all at Xyxyth. “I like our new names!” A pleased blush coloured her cheeks, “Tay-tay!” Leaning against A’tay, Madiquel gave him a quick hug, pressing a friendly kiss to his cheek before settling back against Xyxyth, her hands in her lap and laughter still on her face.
“I bet even Xyxyth couldn’t come up with a new name for Rh-nd, though,” she giggled, feeling naughty as she teased her friend’s dad again, stumbling over his name like normal. R’nd’s name was something that had (from what Madiquel had been able to determine) been the source of more than a little teasing for turns – and probably would for generations. She wondered how R’nd would feel, knowing it was his strange name that would most likely go down in history, and not his ‘stunning good looks’ or ‘excellent love making’ skills? Though if people were to be believed, those rumours would probably outlive him, too…
