I will eat my share and finish yours, Veeth countered, his voice as gentle as ever before moving with dignified purpose to the bucket that had been placed for him. I would hate to see such a …fine female as yourself gain any unnecessary pounds from indulging too much. With that, he daintily stuck his head in the bucket, mouth cautiously reaching for the first bite and pulling out to eat. Valerian was vaguely impressed by the move and how clean the blue remained. For now.
He still couldn’t get over the flattery of having Charath fixated on him but Valerian sensed that was going to be a sensitive spot with Erisi for some time to come. Normally he wouldn’t have held back on stating opinions but with some people that were counted as friends, Valerian was learning to save some comments for another time. Everything was currently still so new and emotions were being sorted as their own or the dragonet’s, and given how completed they felt with the little creatures bonded to them, it made sense to be bothered or jealous of their wandering attentions. Your kindness when it comes to your friends is one of the reasons I chose you. Valerian watched as Veeth snatched another piece of meat and chewed it thoughtfully as he regarded Erisi. You’re a good companion for him.
All right, he took back some of the previous thoughts. He was going to make a small mention on it after all, “well, it seems Veeth has taken a liking to you as well. He seems to have your best interests in mind quite a bit.” With the more Veeth mentioned Erisi, Valerian could see how Charath’s obsession with him could become annoying but for now, the Harper liked it and hoped the little guy would take well to Talian as well. Oh, and if Talian would even want to meet their dragonets. That wasn’t something he wanted to dwell on right then, especially not with Erisi needing more reassurances that everything was still okay. If he could do it since Valerian wasn’t sure himself what the future would now bring.
“I didn’t really think you would Impress either, or I guess I hoped you wouldn’t since I knew you didn’t want it. But it happened, to both of us, and I’m glad it did,” Valerian grimaced as Veeth pulled out a longer piece of entrails and worked his way through it. Seriously, couldn’t dragons be vegetarian or at least enjoy properly cooked chunks of meat? He scooted around just enough so he was facing his friend more than the dining dragonets and offered a smile before continuing with the thoughts he had only just decided moments before to hold off on sharing, “I think it’ll be easier on us to have a friend to talk to that knows what it’s like and understands. But as to being a dragonrider… what does that really mean right now? You’ve seen them, they train, sure, but for the most part they just relax and do their normal routines with a dragon walking beside them. I think we can handle that.”
He glanced back to Veeth and sent a silent apology for what he was about to say since he didn’t want to upset his lifemate but Erisi was in need of any idea to latch onto right then to help lift his spirits, “if nothing else, think of dragons as the ultimate accessory that most people would die to have. You’re the envy of many now, Eri.”
