Firelizard Mayhem [D'hys]

Ditzy greenriders really were a common thing, weren’t they? D’hys continued to smirk and stare R’ana down as she tried to work out where she was and what he had meant. They’d probably be there all day if they had to wait for her to connect that he was teasing her and warning her about what might happen to lost riders that found their way into his hut and given how her attention wandered so easily, it was a wonder they had managed to speak as much as they had.

Amused and even a little confused at her babbling, D’hys crept up behind R’ana and slipped his arms around her waist, intent on making his point known by a little nibble here and there. “I have a bed we can slip into. I’ll make you forget all about today…” Just as he was about to let hands wander over her body, D’hys’ attention finally focused in on Shanith and the firelizards. He tensed, flirting completely forgotten as he held them both still and stared out the window. “What did you do? That’s nearly half the tamed population out there.” He was not happy, not happy at all. The silly little woman had more or less brought the plague down upon his home! One or two firelizards wouldn’t have been such a big deal – he still hated them but at least he could handle that but this was ridiculous!

I will come and be rid of them for you. D’hys’ glare intensified. Like that idea helped ease his fears one bit! He tried to assert his will over the dragon, out of fear for his safety, but Zeianth proved to be the stronger opponent in the battle thanks to D’hys’ current lack of focus and the blue’s own desire to calm his bonded. “Zeianth comes,” he spoke in low tones that were surprisingly calm as he continued to keep R’ana in his grasp and watch out the window. He was afraid of what would happen yet he also knew he was being foolish. It had been proven by the simple fact all the dragons were still alive months later that the plague wasn’t within the tiny pests but his hatred of the firelizards was too strong to ever change his opinion on them.

Zeianth’s appearance was enough to send several flitters scattering but the roar he let loose a moment later helped clear out nearly all the rest. He wasn’t pleased to see the creatures in his claimed space and while he wasn’t exactly the friendliest of dragons and spoke very little to his kin, Zeianth did have an odd protective streak for the helpless ones. Aveleth was a sweet soul and the only other creature he cared for almost as much as he loved D’hys but Niskziath had opened him to wanting to protect the weak and flighty greens a bit more as well and Shanith definitely qualified for that in the current moment, sprawled and with firelizards attacking. Find your feet, Shanith. Your rider is watching you. Folding his wings back, the icy blue dragon sat and craned his neck around to stare impassively at the humans framed within the window.

D’hys exhaled slowly, having been unaware that he had been holding his breath. Everything was fine, of course it was! His body relaxed and he even released R’ana, backing away a few steps to give her some space once more though a feral grin had appeared in place of his fear. “I do believe you owe me for assisting you by both letting you hide within my home and having Zeianth tend to your little issue out there.” Everything may have been unplanned but D’hys was quick, as always, to spin the situation into his favour and have a greenrider owe him.
