Indivara gave the fishing line a jerk, a smirk of success on her lips when she reeled the line in and saw a fat fish on the hook, struggling against the end of its life. Delighted with her catch, the girl unhooked the fish and quickly silenced it, killing it with a swift cut of the knife she kept beside her. Putting the fish carefully aside in the basked with slowly melting snow in it, Indivara set about re-baiting her hook and sending it out again. She wasn’t the best cook, but she knew how to cook fish, and she’d either gorge herself on fish here on the beachside, or she’d bring them home and share with Valerian. To be honest, she’d probably gorge herself here.
She was watching the vague direction of the line when Venseth looked up from where he was sunning himself on the rocks, and bugled a greeting. Frowning, Indivara’s gaze shifted up and her eyes narrowed when she took in the golden hide filling the sky like a second sun. She grimaced, and flicked her gaze to Venseth questioningly.Nadioth of Vaeyla, he supplied, and Indivara scrunched her nose up. Her attention was diverted as Nadioth landed by her line jerking, and she jerked back before reeling in another fish. She was smirking with satisfaction as she slaughtered it and placed it in the basket with the other.
“Hello,” She greeted cordially, neither inviting nor dismissive, though her attention was upon the hook she was carefully re-baiting. Behind her, Queenie and Saph had dropped the piece of meat they had been playing with, and were watching Vaeyla curiously. Queenie looked disgruntled at someone coming to their private spot; Saph was sulking, but was distracted when he realised he could steal the piece of meat he’d been tugging against Queenie with, and the little blue grabbed it before dodging as Queenie caught on to the sneak attack. The two firelizards took to the air, Queenie screeching and Saph clearly amused as he darted about, keeping just ahead of Queenie.
“Normally no one is,” Indivara agreed, glancing at her bickering firelizards and then dismissing them. Venseth was watching Nadioth curiously as he remained lounging in the sunshine. Indivara didn’t have much to do with the goldriders, which meant that Venseth had very little reason to mingle with them. Apparently Indivara had once been on good terms with a goldrider, but she had passed away and Indivara didn’t like to think of her or be reminded of the fact. Venseth chose to leave well enough alone. At any rate, the young gold was a figure of curiosity to him, and he lifted his head as he watched her with one eye.
Good morning, Nadioth, Venseth greeted, his voice warm and mellow. Softly spoken as a rule, and with a voice deep and husky, Venseth often sounded as if he was flirting and the overall effect was quite different from Indivara’s more high-pitched and demanding voice. Would you like to sun with me?
“The fish are biting this morning,” Indivara turned to look at Vaeyla once more, her eyebrows arching slightly on her scarred face. “Do you know how to cook them?” Indivara was trying to be, if not friendly, at least not offensive. Despite that, her voice and words came out demanding and her expression was flat as she stared up at the goldrider.
