R’nya barely waited for the little gold and her new partner to begin the trek to get fed before he was squeezing Rhaedalyn’s hand and kissing her cheek quickly, his eyes bright with joy, and he slipped into the crowd to make his way over to the young dragonriders to be. He figured she’d follow him, at some point, but would probably do her duty (which he was ignoring) by greeting the new goldrider first. R’nya would worry about protocol after he’d congratulated his son.
Striding quietly up beside N’lis, R’nya waited until the dragonet had a face full of food before gently turning the young man to face him, wrapping his arms around him and hugging tightly for a moment, dropping a subtle kiss to N’lis’ forehead. “I am so proud of you, my boy,” R’nya said quietly, gently releasing N’lis so he could tend his dragon and so that R’nya wouldn’t upset the little blue with too much close contact. But also to let N’lis patch together whatever pride R’nya had embarrassed with his affection.
“What is your mate’s name?” R’nya asked gently, resisting the urge to hug N’lis again, or poke at the dragonet – he’d never seen anything like this clutch! All of them with their golden bellies – it was so unique and so eye-catching. He wondered if they’d keep it with their adult hides, or if it was just some weird quirk of their Hatching. R’nya crouched down, balancing carefully, and extended a hand in greeting to the tiny blue dragon. “Hello. You have made a most wonderful choice of lifemate.” He told him seriously, smiling slightly.
