A’tay was mentally flailing at all of his stupidity. How could he forget Madiquel wasn’t in pants? How could he offer her a ride without any straps on Xyxyth? They weren’t going to go flying, so it wouldn’t be as dangerous but she’d have nothing to hold onto while they walked around the Bowl. He really needed to pay more attention to everything going on around him! So start now and notice that she doesn’t care about any of that and get up here and help her up.
Xyxyth had a point and A’tay felt his face go hot from embarrassment at all of the mistakes he was making, though it didn’t look like Madiquel noticed them. At least she wasn’t pointing them out, if she did, and he appreciated that. Xyxyth moved into the position they found worked best for A’tay to climb up and he explained the process as he went, in case Madiquel was interested in such a thing or wanted to try it when he helped her up; which he attempted to do a moment later when he was situated and debated if it was better for her to be in front of him or behind him.
Truthfully, he liked it either way since they would be kind of cuddling one or the other, but what would be safer for her. Which would Jajojin encourage? Since they didn’t have any straps—and A’tay was kind of kicking himself for not putting them on earlier to give Xyxyth the afternoon to adjust to them—he felt like Madiquel in front was the better option. That way, he’d have his arms around her to help keep her steady and hopefully keep her from sliding around.
“Come on up, the dragon’s fine,” he teased with his hand extended, playing on the familiar phrase about the water’s temperature. He was so lucky to have Xyxyth as the dragon really was fine. Sure, he was a bit bossy at times and had high expectations for them, but he was kind and the other dragons in their class seemed to adore him and look to him as the example. It made A’tay even more comfortable with the idea of having Madiquel already riding him. He knew he could trust Xyxyth no matter what to keep his best friend safe.
