R’dal frowned but also managed to look embarrassed at the same time, the conflicting emotions working in tandem for the topic of Flights and what stories he had. “Not really. We haven’t won yet and losing isn’t that fun for many reasons.” He was younger and skinnier than most of the riders so he was usually the one that ended up being tossed around by a stronger and crankier fellow loser. Honestly, it didn’t bother him that he didn’t win, but losing definitely had a whole new meaning with Flights. Truthfully, he was a bit scared of what would happen if he won. He hoped he wouldn’t be as aggressive as the losers he had been with but he also worried someone would take offence to his winning and seek some sort of revenge on him or the greenrider. Flights were a downside to being a dragonrider and if he didn’t love Edath so much and want his dragon to be happy, he’d do his best to avoid them at all costs.
He was just about to come up with a story or try to change the subject when Nerreh beat him and asked Edath a question. R’dal knew the answer, sort of, since they had a favourite green pair to spend time with, but he was kind of curious if there were others that he didn’t know about. One lives here, actually. Halomirth, bonded to F’drel. She’s very sweet and a lot of fun. You will like her. R’dal lit up and smiled, nodding in agreement. It was the answer he expected and the one he definitely supported. “She’s great! So is F’drel, Nerreh. He’s pretty quiet most of the time but he likes naps and cuddles, so you know he’s a good guy.” To R’dal, that was a fairly accurate way of measuring a person. If they didn’t give good hugs or didn’t like cuddling—he knew a faker when he found one—then they were likely not someone he wanted to be around a lot.
Edath mentioned a couple of greens back in Fort that he liked to visit as well but they didn’t go to Telgar all that often so they didn’t know anyone there as well now. Though Larrikith isn’t too bad. She’s much older and mated, but I will sometimes greet her and chat a little if I see her. That one only slightly surprised R’dal, since he knew Larrikith was a funny dragon and liked to pick on B’jin and even R’nd, but he didn’t know Edath really spoke to her.
“What about you two? Do you get along especially well with anyone in class? It’s good to have classmates you get along with both on a social level and for learning and growing together.” R’dal had been so relieved when R’dare Impressed at the same Hatching. He had a lot of friends but they had always been close and he knew he could rely on R’dare if things got tough or he stumbled along the way. “I know you’ve been stuck with them for a while now but that just means you really know them.”
