The Hatching was over, and talian and Indivara were gone from the sands. Krypth butted her head against Jada's leg, crooning lowly as she rubbed against the woman affectionately. The golden nose really was soft, Jada decided, reaching down with a shaking hand to stroke over the soft hide, marveling at the fact that she'd been chosen by a dragon as wonderful as Krypth. Strange; Now that she had time to let her mind settle, she could feel the wholeness. She could tell even without looking at the colored tinge that was beginning to take over the dragonet's eyes that she was hungry. Jada could feel it, and it made her own stomach grumble loudly in response.
I told you to hurry up. I'm hungry! Krypth said, and butted her bonded fiercely, eyes swirling with love and the munchies. It was nice that Hers was starting to feel the same way she herself did, but it would be nice if Jada would hurry up. Krypth had been very patient while Jada saw to her wounded companion, but now that the child was gone it was time for the woman to look to the more important things in life, like herself.
"I thought you were supposed to be loving and affectionate when you first hatch." Jada glared down at the little Gold who kept headbutting her in the sharding side. She moved across the Sands on sandaled feet, following the directions provided to her by a butting head and the sounds of chatter.
That was before I got hungry. Krypth was strangely smug, her eyes whirling as she looked up her bonded's body. Alas, love ends at food, my dear Jada. She nudged her Rider closer, examining the rest of her clutchmates that were already there. She stared at the gobbets flying everywhere, at the red that was just smearing most of the dragonets faces by now, and decided I don't want to eat that. It was disgusting. Her stomach rumbled fiercely, and the dragonet slavered before she could catch herself.
Jada eyed the meat, agreeing. It was pretty gross. Still- a bucket was shoved her way, and it was the same raw wherry meat as everyone else was eating. "Looks like it is what is on the menu, Krypth." she told her bonded. So much hunger. A look around showed her that most of the dragons were digging in, and so she set the bucket down in front of Krypth obediently, waiting for the dragon to take a bite. "Yum yum."
No. Krypth said it firmly, turning up her nose. I want something else. This is too gross-looking.
"Are you hungry, or not?"
Hungry. Jada wasn't dumb-witted, she had to be able to tell.
"Well then." Jada reached into the bucket, wincing at the hot slime that covered her hand and clung to the bottom of the bandages. "Here. Open up." She hauled up a gobbet, and could feel Krypth's horror. "This is all you get for right now. We'll worry about your diet later." The smell was making almost making her nauseated, but Krypth's powerful hunger overrode that minor discomfort, and Jada's stomach rumbled again. The gold opened her mouth, tilted back her head; Jada dropped a small bite of meat into her mouth.
Good. More?
