It was more soothing to hear those words than the boy would know, or than D'ren would admit. He smiled, still leaning casually against his dragon's neck, and smiled as he felt a similar warmth creeping through Ronarth. The dragon didn't speak in reply, but instead just crooned and bumped his nose lightly into Nejerc. Ronarth was large, however, and a gentle nose-bump was still a cumbersome affair.
D'ren watched the dragon's neck and looked back to the younger man. "Just relaxing, actually. I'd cleared this time for my wing's practice, but a green decided to have a sudden flight. As you can imagine, discipline broke down rather quickly." He frowned a little bit. Exceedingly modest, he didn't even like to think about the implications of green flights. He was glad Ronarth had never taken to chasing the damn things, though like his rider, he was fond of them on a casual level. Greens were so sweet and playful, and easygoing! They were a joy to be around, but the idea of chasing them frankly terrified the aging bronzerider.
"So you're not intruding at all. It's rare that I have any length of time for my own interests, but I thought it would be nice to spend it with the weyrfolk, rather than just locked away in my hut. I don't feel like I'm out and about enough..."
