"Embarrassing?" Ellaira raised a brow at that. Lavender was a common favorite of the Weyr, wasn't it? At least, she'd seen quite a bit of it growing in gardens and hedgerows around the Weyr buildings. But perhaps it was favored by the women of the Weyr; Ellaira really had no way to tell. "It's good that you both like it, though. Imagine if she loved the scent of something truly appalling, like boiled cabbage!" The woman's grin invited Seijin in on the joke.
Timidly, Morallina reached out with one hand and rubbed the green dragon on her forehead, vaguely along the ridges Seijin had pointed out. If she wasn't very thorough or capable, well, she was only three turns old, with only her mother's fire-lizard to practice on. The little girl giggled again and withdrew her hand.
"What do we say?" Ellaira prompted, looking not at the girl, but at the weyrlings as they passed. What? That's... interesting, she thought, glancing back to Seijin with a furrowed brow, meeting his eyes for a brief moment. Yes, he'd heard it, too, it seemed.
"Tank you," Morallina said primly, still not quite good at the 'th' sound.
"Good girl," Ellaira replied. Morallina flashed her most winning smile at Seijin and Araith. She was a good girl! And she had touched a dragon!
