As per the new norm, R'dal didn't have much planned and any duties he had were already taken care of. So of course that meant going to Ista Weyr to see his friends. He had considered transferring there since a vast majority of the people he spent his time with lived there but he was still against the idea of living under his father's rule. It hadn't quite become obvious to him yet that it didn't matter where he lived as everyone knew his dad was a Weyrleader and people would potentially treat him differently for that.
But until he came to the decision to move, R'dal was happy to make the trip to the warm island and hop around between friends that weren't busy. He had thought about checking up on his little sister and brothers but an excited young dragon suddenly made that a bit more difficult and had a way of changing his plans. R'dal smiled and waved to Faxxonth while Edath gave a sigh of irritation at having to maneuver around the pest--though he didn't overly mind the green dragon that much when they were on the ground.
He's just excited and showing off his skills, R'dal chided his oddly grumpy dragon. Edath was pretty chill and went along with most anything, but he was probably nervous about an accident. That seemed to be the only thing that set the blue on edge as Edath took their safety rather seriously. She, R'dal. Why do you insist she is blue? Her energy and antics in the sky should show you her colour if not her actual hide. R'dal crinkled his nose as he made a face at the reminder. He had always seen Faxxonth as blue and couldn't understand why literally every single other human and dragon seemed to think he was a she. Maybe this was one of those times where his friends calling him odd or quirky fit and he was just viewing it all wrong.
They landed soon after Faxxonth and roughly in the same area before making their trip to Nerreh in a much smoother fashion. R'dal was glad he didn't have a clumsy dragon since he already had a best friend that could trip over his own feet that he had to look after. Two of them to keep an eye on would be exhausting! "Hey, Nerr! Faxxonth, you're looking great in the sky!" He greeted them both as his own feet hit the ground and he was soon giving Nerreh a hug, as was his custom greeting for friends.
"Once you get the clear to ride on your own, we'll never see you anymore. I think Faxxonth is going to keep you busy with trips, won't you?" His gaze went to the dragon and R'dal's eyes widened as he saw the change of colour on Faxxonth's muzzle. He quickly forgot about the human and went up to the dragon to examine the patch more closely.
"Edath, check this out!" Edath took a step closer and R'dal smiled when the shadow of the dragon's large head crept over him to do as told. "That's a gorgeous dark blue coming in. LIke the night sky!" At Edath's low rumbling of warning that he was doing it again, R'dal actually rolled his eyes but obligingly amended, "or a very dark green like the forest at night. Either way, I can't wait to see your adult hide." And he meant it. Edath's hide didn't change all that much and R'dal recalled being a combination of disappointed that he didn't have some amazing new colour and relieved because he liked the darker shade of his baby hide. Faxxonth was going to have one of the wild changes and it was going to be exciting.
