The way Je’ler made it sound, those flights could be intense…but others in the Weyr being affected, too? And the losers…oh. He snorted into his cup, coughing on the drink.
“Grabby, huh?” Alekse lifted an eyebrow, unsure exactly what he thought of that. If Zahrah having to participate in mating flights was a mandatory side effect of Impressing, he’d be more than happy to snag some post-flight fun, but… The more he thought on it the more amusing it became, and the more he understood how that might feel.
A lopsided smirk completed his bemused expression, and he tore off another piece of the forgotten loaf. “Well, if I was expecting to get some, and the opportunity rudely ripped away, I’d be a bit grabby, too. I can only imagine that enhanced by a dragon.” He nodded and shrugged. “I think I’ll take my chances, though. Sounds like it might be worth it.”
He leaned back, lacing his fingers behind his head, giving the green rider a contemplative look. “So, the list of things, so far, between what I’ve learned from you and my girl, include aching in places you forgot exist, insistent dragons, cuddles, grabby losers, a lot of oiling, a lot of food, and music. I think that can be managed…” He reached for his glass again. “Especially if I come across more of your wine. I may have to get a small supply for the cothold…” He held it up in a small salute. “Cheers, to the love of dragons, whatever that may entail.”
