Dalsuth gave another chirp of excitement as he learned someone else shared their special day. It seemed like only the coolest people hatched on that day and he was okay with that! N’lis chuckled softly under his breath as he watched his dragon interact with Malvayth but startled when she spoke directly to him. It wasn’t unusual and they had had many conversations since the day he was brave enough to approach the gold pair but he hadn’t expected it then. She was clearly there for the babies and N’lis was fine standing back and letting them interact for a bit before the hunger or sleepiness drew them away.
He knew Malvayth was happy for him but hearing her say it made his eyes water. She was one of the few dragons that spoke with him and he never felt foolish around her no matter what he confided in her so her happiness and praise meant almost as much to him as R’nya’s did. But then she had to remind him that she would be leaving for another Weyr any day now and the tears did fall as N’lis forgot there were others around and he ran up to Malvayth to throw himself against her side in what counted as a hug considering their sizes. But it wasn’t the first time he had done such a thing but it very well could be the last.
“Thank you for being you, Malvayth. I’m going to miss you.” He didn’t know what else to say, especially in front of his classmates that he was now very much aware of and slowly stepped back from the large gold. Dalsuth was right beside him instantly, leaning against his side in comfort—or support, but he was going with comfort—and N’lis bent down to give his dragon a hug as well when he felt Dalsuth’s distress. “Malvayth is a friend of mine but she’s going to be moving far away so we won’t see her for a while. So I’m a bit sad but nothing to worry over.”
Oh no! That doesn’t sound good at all but I am glad we’ll still have stories. Those sound fun. Dalsuth turned his gaze up to Malvayth after he was certain his human would be fine. Will you come back? You won’t stay away forever? N’lis would very much like to see you again and you can show us your tricks! Dalsuth had taken an interest in watching the gold’s aerial shows every time they were outside and she was flying. N’lis had never had a chance to fly with Malvayth and wasn’t entirely sad he wouldn’t get to go on her wild ride she promised but now he worried she would teach his own dragon to spin and twirl like she did and his stomach dropped.
