"I use leather oil for my fire-lizard," Ellaira said with a smile. "It's a very pleasant scent, and Warbler seems to appreciate it." She chuckled slightly at Seijin's comment about his father laughing at the young man smelling 'pretty as flowers'. Her parents couldn't have given a flying fig about their daughter once she had determined to remain with the Weyr, and not with them, but her foster-mother would have had words with her, had she any idea of the life Ellaira was leading.
"From what I've heard, young dragons have no sense of time or schedule," Ellaira replied, a wry smile crossing her face. "They're just like human infants, scheduling off their stomachs and not the sun! It's good that lavender works for the two of you, though."
Morallina giggled and hid behind her mother's skirt again, pulling the fabric to cover her eyes. Ellaira smiled and shook her head slightly at the little girl's actions, before stooping and picking her up with a slight sound of effort. "I don't want to keep the two of you from the Gather," she said, "But I'm so happy for the both of you! Thank you for tolerating my children." Ellaira tweaked Morallina's nose, making the little girl giggle. "I know they're quite a handful."
