“Thank you,” She chuckled a bit, gazing fondly at Jenath and stifling a yawn. “I’m glad you were there, really. Not all Hatchings are as…easygoing as this one was.” Even if it was at an inconvenient hour. She hadn’t slept hardly at all… “I do hope you find your lifemate soon. I’m sure someone will find you soon enough.”
This young woman really was quite a delight, though that could just be the lack of sleep talking. Aederyn took another oil-soaked cloth from her and passed the first back for more. It was a real shame that she’d distanced herself from Elloren so. She’d unknowingly deprived herself of yet another amiable acquantance. How silly of her to think that Alekse had been after [I]her/[I]…definitely not his type, and it wouldn’t have been a good match.
Who is Alekse? Was he…hunting? But not you? The green peered first at Aederyn, then at the other girl. Did people hunt each other? How curious…she would have to ask others how, and why, that was a thing…
Sleepy eyes snapped open, big and round, at her dragonet’s questions. ‘No, that’s not…” A flush started to creep up her neck, and the other redhead had the expected questioning look on her face. “I’m sorry, I…” Her tired mind wasn’t allowing her to properly compose her thoughts, and she blinked back and forth between the dragonet and the girl for a moment before attempting to explain, looking to each in turn. “Alekse is my brother. And no, not hunting. I don’t think. Not that way.” She shook her head, brow furrowed. “He sent me letters that he was going to Benden after a girl. I thought that was you, for a bit, but it’s…Sedath’s…Zahrah.” Unable to elaborate further, she shrugged.
