“Looks like you get to play in the water, Veeth,” Valerian knelt beside his excited dragonet, laying a hand on Veeth’s head to help direct his attention to the task at hand and not socializing. Valerian was all for doing his own thing at his own pace but G’rem was the sort that even he didn’t want to tangle with. He’d seen Erisi get smacked with that cane often enough to know it wasn’t pleasant and he’d seen Kerrin suffer through punishments before to know the cranky old bluerider never messed around.
Really? Excited eyes turned to the body of water where the elder dragons were already splashing about while they got into their positions to play at being obstacles for wayward dragonets. He looked up at Valerian who nodded and Veeth didn’t need any further encouragement as he went trotting towards the water. He was among the first batch of excited dragonets and while he still stopped to dip a claw in the water to test it, Veeth was still hot on the tail of his clutchmates for diving right in.
He was having so much fun! He did a little paddling like Teegarth to help get him into a more open area but Veeth was quick to change his swimming style once he heard his fellow blue get yelled at for doing it incorrectly. He experimented with wing movements, finding it a little odd at first but soon finding it to be something that felt natural and a chirp of triumph was given to any of the older dragons nearby that were paying him any attention. Feeling a bit more confident in his movements, Veeth moved in closer to a group and purposely splashed about to spray them with water before hightailing it out of there. He wanted to play with his clutchmates but didn’t need G’rem’s evil glare on him or Valerian!
From the beach, Valerian watched Veeth’s progress, proud that his dragonet was doing so well already and amused at his antics with the others. He tried to suppress a smile that would give everything away.
