Rhaedalyn nodded slowly at the eager replies and finally smiled. She was so glad she had friends that would help her learn how to tend to a dragon! Of course she had helped with several others over the turns but this was her own, it was entirely different! She’d have to pay attention to things far more closely than ever before. The actual dragonriders knew when their dragons were hungry or needed oiling and they simply collected her at that time and she enjoyed the day of scrubbing down the soft hide and oiling it afterward. Now, hunger, dry skin, any sort of oddities, they were all up to her to catch in a timely manner!
Just as Kahleena said, sleepiness was something she’d have to watch as well. Aradissicath was enjoying all of the attention but she did seem to be drooping a bit more now that her belly was full of fresh meat. Rhaedalyn was feeling the tug of sleep as well, and while she suspected some of it was from her own long day, it was stronger than usual and seemed to be tied to her sweet golden girl. “I think you’re right, Kally. Sleep is beginning to sound like a wonderful idea!”
Rhaedalyn cupped her dragon’s face within her hands and smiled at the little thing before planting a kiss high on Aradissicath’s snout. “Shall we get going? We can socialize some more tomorrow, especially since I think there will be a feast in your honour.” It would be in the honour of all the dragonets that hatched that day but to Rhaedalyn, it was certainly designed to cheer for her Impression to a wonderful gold dragonet. I think I should like that. You have nice friends and they can entertain us again tomorrow.
“I hope I’m not being rude,” Rhaedalyn added shyly, glancing down at the sand for a moment before looking up at a still glowing I’shan – it was like he was the one that Impressed that day! “We would both like to see you again soon, and please bring Ilveriath! I think they would get along well.” She hoped they would, anyway! It was a fear of hers that her dragon wouldn’t get along with her friends or their dragons but given Xyreith’s cranky outlook on life, it was already a given he wouldn’t like Aradissicath either. Yet, even with his sourness, she was still good friends with R’nya so that was a bit of hope to hang on to.
