'I won't be gone long', she had told the gold who had begrudgingly allowed her rider to leave her human hatchling alone with her mate. But males are terrible with hatchlings , Nadioth complained quietly, ner neck draped over Ironth's neck, one gleaming blue eye watching the babe as he burbled and squealed. Both of the human's pets lay near, watching over the baby as she was, although she had to remind them both not to touch him. Their claws were too sharp for his soft skin, he was NOT a firelizard.
'He's not a hatchling, love. He's a baby. Humans are a little different, you know that.', she told Nadioth gently as she entered the kitchens finally and greeted the women there, a couple of them pouting because she did not have her precious son with her. Had the gold been able to roll her eyes as her rider often did, she would have. She did not answer, yet Vaeyla could feel that her dragon was less than amused with her faith in K'ton's ability to care for his own son. Even if he had never done it before. He would no sooner harm the boy than he would Ironth and that gave her all the solace she needed really. Would she come back and find her son filthy and eating things he likely shouldn't? More often than not most likely. Would she find the boy rolling about naked because K'ton couldn't figure out a diaper properly? Absolutely. Would she laugh? Daily.
Was it worth it? Definitely.
You are ridiculous Vee grinned slightly, a slightly glazed-over look to her eyes that the weyrfolk knew all too well. 'Yes, but you love me no less.' Not the point. Come save your hatchling, Ironth's rider is speaking of a party. Vee lifted a brow at that but waited for the lunch items she had requested to be packed into a basket for her before making her way back to the weyr. It was nice to get out, even if just for a little while, not that she minded taking her son anywhere. She had never minded taking Evritt anywhere either. The creche was fine for her children, but she was also very hands-on as a mother, something her mother never had been. She thanked the drudges in the kitchen with promises to bring Vaelon down to see them within the next few days before finally leaving the kitchens.
Before long she was sliding the door open to the weyr she shared with K'ton, basket under one arm she just leaned on the door frame and watched him on the floor, making faces at their son.
Their son.
She thought she had been too old to have another child. She had worried he wouldn't make it, that something would go wrong. All her worry and fear had been wasted because she had given K'ton a healthy son and now they had a perfect little family. Squeals of delight had her giggling and her watching in peace was broken as K'ton looked over with those dashing blue eyes, that Vaelon shared, and stole her breath away. "Having fun my loves?"
