N’lis was still overwhelmed by everything that had happened since the blue eating beside him hatched. First up was the name. He honestly had never thought about what his honorific would be if he was ever lucky enough to Impress. It was hard to make something that rolled off the tongue nicely. Qu’is? Qui’lis? Q’lis? Dalsuth did well by thinking outside of the box N’lis was clearly stuck in. It was strange all the same and would take a lot of getting used to and—
He was spun around and barely saw who was doing it before R’nya pulled him into a hug. He instantly returned it, arms wrapping tightly around the bronzerider he secretly viewed as his dad. The statement left him rattled and N’lis didn’t trust himself to speak without bursting into tears again and only nodded to show he heard R’nya. That was something else that had slowly started to sink in as the minutes ticked by. It was hard to miss Dalsuth’s colour was blue but N’lis feared anything other than bronze would be considered a disappointment. Maybe the excitement of Impressing was too distracting and the Weyrleader would eventually realise that.
“Dalsuth,” N’lis replied softly, still spinning and trying to catch up to everything that was happening. It was all so fast! Like his dragon had been when he raced toward him. He wasn’t sure he’d ever get over that moment.
Of course I did, Dalsuth replied as he lifted his head from the feeding bucket. He eyed the man crouching before him for a long moment but then decided he posed no threat to either of them and seemed like a good guy. He butted the outstretched hand with the top of his head—shifting last second to avoid doing it with his nose so the man didn’t get dirty.
“This is Weyrleader R’nya of…” N’lis took a moment to look around until he spotted Xyreith and pointed him out to Dalsuth. “Bronze Xyreith. They’re in charge but also really nice.” He didn’t know if Dalsuth already instinctively knew who was in charge or not but he felt proper introductions were in order.
Dalsuth glanced up to Xyreith, giving the larger dragon a chirp that probably went unheard given the distance and noise in the cavern to begin with, and went back to studying R’nya with his head tilted to the side.Does that mean you make boring rules and we have to follow them? He was still picking through N’lis’ mind about what rules were exactly but they sounded like they sucked.
