V'riy stroked Arddra's hair softly and he tightened his other arm around her as she hid her face in his chest. "Shhh…" he quietly murmured to her. Though he knew that her comment about the gold egg was irrational, he was almost inclined to agree with her. He placed his hands on her shoulders after a moment when she asked to leave and pushed her away from him.
"Time to climb up," he instructed quietly. Turning her, he guided her to Morith, who proffered his foreleg. The bronze took a careful look at the girl, his eyes varying degrees of yellow shot through with lines of red.
The bronze was worried about the loss of the expected golden queen, the effect it was having on Arddra and was even less happy about the upset it was causing the entire Weyr. He was angry at the impulsive young woman who had rushed forward and knocked on the egg, but that was quickly fading and the lines started to disappear even as Arddra climbed up the riding straps.
V'riy stood beside Morith's head as the bronze lowered it towards him and scratched his dragon's eye ridge affectionately. As he hummed a few bars of a tune familiar to only the pair of them so quietly only the dragon could hear it, Morith's eyes shimmered and the red faded away completely. Though the yellow remained, flecks of blue appeared, scattered through the yellow as the dragon calmed down a bit.
V'riy gave Morith a gentle pat on his nose and the dragon let out a breath slowly through his nostrils. He moved, preparing to mount and tugged at the riding straps, checking them out of habit. When he was satisfied he pulled himself up onto Morith and in front of Arddra, letting her get settled behind him. He gave Morith the order to take flight, visualizing his hut, knowing that that the memory of the Hatching would soon fade from Morith's memory and wishing that he and Arddra could forget as easily as the bronze would.
