Talian had his own string of strange, misgiving thoughts going through his head as they worked their way through the halls, eventually emerging outside where Khaduceth waited for them. The brown dragon was curled up outside, eyes flashing with curiosity. He lowered his head and intrusively poked his nose towards Isscer, nostrils quivering as he sniffed the young man over.
This is the one you are so worried about impressing? the dragon asked, unimpressed. He couldn't imagine why Tal wanted the boy's approval so badly, but whatever. It was different from Talian's kinship with, say, Valerian. It wasn't so much love as it was empathy. This boy reminded Tal of himself, and just as he'd wanted things to work out well in his own case, he hoped they would for Isscer as well. The dragon supposed he could concede to that, but he still failed to see how it was so important. Whatever is important to you if important to me he assured Tal when he sensed the disapproval.
You're being an asshole again Tal said pointedly, not letting it drop. A burst of amused love came from the dragon, but Tal could still tell that his scolding was effective.Sorry
Khaduceth continued to sniff, before finally pulling back, leaving his nose in petting range if Isscer would be so kind. Tal smirked and then stepped closer, running his hand along the dragon's snout. "He's huge. I wish he'd stop growing," he lamented softly. "..But you should hear him. Every time we go flying, he complains that I would be better off here doing what I want to do...the only thing in the world he cares about is me."
