Halomirth whined softly, not sure how best to comfort Quinvalis. As she understood things, even if the girl Quinvalis liked and the bronzerider were mates, that didn’t mean Quinvalis was out of luck - look at Larrikith and Ayyonth! Really, Halomirth didn’t understand why so many were fixed on this idea you could only really like one individual, only have a single mate. It just seemed silly to her. If you liked someone and wanted to be with them you should be able to do so! She nuzzled into Quinvalis, hoping he got some reassurance from it.
If you say so, Halomirth said dubiously, not fully convinced it was as hopeless as he thought, but what did she know about the situation, really. I don’t think you’re being silly, Quinvalis. Having emotions isn’t silly. F’drel agrees with me, right F’drel? she said confidently, knowing her rider agreed with her but feeling Quinvalis could do with hearing it from him as well as from her.
“Huh?” F’drel said eloquently. He’d been wondering if the bronzerider Quinvalis mentioned had been A’tay. The young bronzerider had been in the area where Quinvalis had run into him and had been dancing with a girl at the time, so it was possible. A’tay had mentioned liking a girl before. Was Quinvalis’ girl he liked the same as A’tay’s? As F’drel remembered it, A’tay thought the girl he liked didn’t like him back. Had she proven him wrong? Was this a different girl? F’drel didn’t know. He didn’t think he’d ever had a crush before, actually, and was a bit befuddled by how it worked. It took him a few seconds to pull himself from his thoughts and process what Miri said, then he nodded. “Right, it’s not silly to get upset about things that matter to you.” Halomirth rumbled in agreement.
You are welcome to hide with me as long as you like, she told Quinvalis, adjusting so that she was curled a bit more around him, a protective barrier against the world at large. F’drel, who had stepped away from leaning against Miri’s leg as soon as he’d sensed her intent to move, nodded to confirm her statement.
“If you want a ride to Fort we can take you whenever you like. If you want to sit with Miri a bit, let me know if you want me to stick around or not. Miri’ll call me whenever you’re ready to head out,” he added to her offer, hovering awkwardly at his dragon’s side as he waited to hear what Quinvalis wanted to do.
