... Busted [Rhaedalyn]

The bluerider's face was still hot with embarressment, and he raked his fingers back through his curls absently, trying to get the blushing girl to follow the change in subject before she worked herself up to asking what had just happened. Z'ia wasn't sure what story would work best there, since she didn't seem overly upset and hadn't hit him. The fact that she might have enjoyed his little visit to her lap amused Z'ia greatly, though he wasn't too surprised. After all, he was gorgeous. Tugging a curl, he backtracked a little to pick up their conversation from before he was so rudly deposited on the girl.

"Well, no," Z'ia agreed, looking incredibly bemused as he folded his legs carefully so he was sitting infront of Rhaedalyn, their knees almost touching; Aveleth wouldn't slide back further to give him more room, and Z'ia was quite sure he was going to kill the baby blue for his little prank. The fact that Aveleth was radiating a very quiet pride in his movements didn't really upset Z'ia, he rather enjoyed Aveleth's playful streak when it came out on display, but he also preferred not to be the leading star in being a figure for said playful streak.

The bluerider flashed a quick smile, one tinted with a naughty, slightly michevious air. "He, ah... caught us once. The first once, actually." Z'ia grimaced. "There might," he pinched his forefinger and thumb really close together and grimaced more. "Have been the uh, impression that I wouldn't do it again?" He had never strictly promised D'hys he wouldn't jump from Aveleth any more, so Z'ia wasn't breaking any promises he'd made; but he knew he was still going against a friend's well meaning wishes.

In time, Aveleth murmured very softly to Aradissicath, managing to make his voice little more than the vague press of emotions against Z'ia. He very rarely spoke to another dragon without including Z'ia in the exchange, mostly because he required the additional confidence, but there was also usually the need for Z'ia to translate what he had just said. Speaking without including Z'ia was almost impossible. The young blue was still worried about what would happen when Z'ia did take the innitivie and tried to 'save' the girl; but he was strongly hoping that Rhaedalyn, with her sweet thoughts and pretty nature would be able to help the young man's nature smooth out, too.

Aveleth loved Z'ia, and he understood him, far better than anyone else ever would; but he still didn't always agree with the methods the little bluerider chose. Aveleth had Impressed to Z'ia because he was strong, and confident, and someone that the blue dragonet had immediately known would protect him with every fiber of his soul - and that was what Aveleth needed - and so he had turned a blind eye to the dark streak. He didn't think even Rhaedalyn would be able to remove it, but if the girl could brighten it a little... More realistically, Aveleth knew Z'ia was far more likely to taint the girl, though.
