It would be so easy to crush the hope he saw shining in eyes he realised were dark blue. Tell her she wasn’t Candidate material—which may have been the truth, or the actual truth that girls needed to be trained in a useful craft, like healing, if they wanted to Stand at Fort. That was something he would have to work around but he figured he could get R’nya to agree to whatever he came up with. But bursting her bubble simply wouldn’t be as much fun as getting her in and continuing to play with her until his attention wandered.
I could use you back home for a few minutes, Zeianth. Get your opinion before we call in a Searcher. D’hys reached out for his dragon, hating to bother Zeianth when he knew the blue was off visiting with one of his favourite friends, especially after receiving a full oiling earlier. But his silent appraisal would be good to have and no doubt Aederyn would want to meet his dragon and had been too polite or distracted to ask.
“We can. Would you like your friend R’dal to do it or would you like for me to bring in a stranger?” He was at a bit of a loss in this situation. Would it be better to have a friend potentially say you weren’t right for a dragon or was it easier to hear it from someone you didn’t have a connection with? He’d leave it up to the girl this time as he rose to his feet once more and waved for her to follow him since it seemed she was done eating.
“Come and meet Zeianth while you decide who you would like to potentially Search you. Though, he’s not much of a talker so don’t take offence if he doesn’t reply to you.” Some Holders simply couldn’t comprehend that not all dragons wanted to muck about in their messy and dull minds and took offence to the silence when they greeted a dragon or asked questions. D’hys could still count on one hand the amount of people that he was aware of that Zeianth had ever spoken to.
D’hys led Aederyn out to the ledge where Zeianth had just landed. He stayed out in the sun since it was both a warm morning to savour as well as a way to show off his hide in the light. “My lady runner, I present to you, blue Zeianth of the icy hide.” D’hys gave a flourish of his hands to indicate she could continue walking and get as close as she wanted to the dragon. “I’m the one you have to worry about when it comes to biting while Zeianth is a bit of a teddy bear.” He heard Zeianth’s snort of amusement in his head but D’hys didn’t elaborate on his statement.
