You should join the rest of the party, it's a celebration for us. Casnovath's voice practically purred at the edge of D'nei's mind, much more conspiratorial than he actually intended to be. He shook his head in response to his dragon as he took a sip of his wine. It's not just for us, it's for the whole class. Close enough! Now come on, there's a really pretty green here who is absolutely delightful...
D'nei frowned and took a longer drink to try to banish the thoughts of his dragon's increasing interest in the ladies. You have fun, Cassie. I'll get back to the party when I'm ready. It's not like I left, I'm just sitting off to the side after all. I can still hear the music easily enough. It wasn't like his dragon didn't know his own preferences, or lack thereof, he just didn't really understand them despite being in his head. He tried though, and had at least promised not to chase anyone until after graduation... which had just happened.
Maybe that was why he had retreated to the party's edge, because while D'nei was excited and proud of graduating there was that small realization that he would be faced with Flights, and he still wasn't sure how he was going to feel about that when it finally happened. He wanted Cassie to be happy, he understood his dragon had needs and desires, but that didn't make it any less of a daunting prospect.
You are worrying too much when you should be mingling. Make some friends, you're allowed to now that we've graduated. Then you'll have more than just me to talk to all the time. D'nei cracked a smile at the exaggeration. He wasn't completely friendless, he had a few classmates he'd talk to and occasionally spend time with outside of class. Still, making more friends wouldn't hurt, and as Cassie kept insisting, this was a party and he should have fun.
He stood up and walked back to the party, still staying closer to the edge until he found someone he didn't normally talk to. "Fun party isn't it?" Ah yes, thrilling conversation.
