"That sounds great."
V'riy smiled warmly at Arddra and ran a hand through his hair, trying to get it to behave. He hadn't expected company and certainly hadn't taken the time to tend to his appearance that he normally did, but he supposed that given the heat she wouldn't notice. He picked up the front of his shirt and shook it. The air circulating inside the shirt brought a quiet grunt of relief.
He eyed the basket that the girl had brought with her. "I see you came prepared," he said with a grateful nod. "Morith should be along shortly. He was out hunting. Seems he's not affected much by this heat but then again he can pop between whenever he wants to cool off. Although I suppose I could be taking advantage of that..." his voice trailed off as he gestured for her to move to the side.
He couldn't stand the heat much longer. He walked past the girl and around the side of the hut. The bronzerider shaded his eyes as he felt along the side of the hut for the water barrel. He was seeing those black wavy lines again and he squinted as he tried to focus his eyes what was in front of him. Finally his hand hit the edge of the barrel. He lifted off the lid and, grabbing it with both hands, raised it up and over his head and turned it upside down, emptying the contents inside and drenching himself with water.
Laughing, he turned to face Arddra, feeling a hundred times better, though the water inside the barrel had been warm. "That's better," he said with a boyish grin. Overhead, Morith appeared in the sky, a welcome sight as he circled above and bugled a welcome to Arddra.
The bronze dragon landed in the clearing behind his wallow with a loud thud as his limbs all hit the ground simultaneously and stirred up a cloud of dust. He beat his wings to disperse the dust and clear the air and folded them quickly, turning his large head to the side to regard the two figures before him in his whirling blue eye.
Hello there the richly colored bronze said to Arddra in his musical voice.
V'riy chuckled as Morith greeted Arddra warmly. The bronze had been rather taken with the girl since the beginning. He picked up his shoulder bag from where he had left it beside Morith's wallow and fished riding straps out of it. Convenient that he had left the bag outside last night but he was lucky it hadn't rained. The bag was treated with something to resist water but that only went so far. He began attaching them to the bronze and adjusting the straps, tugging at them out of habit as he tested their strength and condition.
He turned to Arddra as he finished tugging and adjusting the straps. "Lake or River?"
