I'shan didn't expect any visitors at all, least of all an unfamiliar face. Well, the handsome man was as unfamiliar as anyone at Katila could be. Where had I'shan seen the young man before? Probably at a hatching, or just around the Weyr from time to time. What a nice surprise! A stranger, bearing treats?
"That would be amazing," I'shan blurted without tact, though his voice flowed freely with retreat and delight. I'shan was just so happy to see a friendly face! He's been silently worried that he might lie there for hours, waiting on the attention of the first nurse of healer who was able to squeeze out some time for him. As badly injured as he was, he was certain there were dozens, maybe even hundreds of others. Hundreds! That wasn't a dramatic assumption, was it?
Do not fear Ilveriath assured I'shan privately, though he was not sure himself. There was an awful lot of mess to clean up still, and the blue dragon was not sure of how many losses had actually been sustained. His focus remained on his bonded., though he would tell him what he needed to hear in order to rest easily.
I'shan beamed. Ilv's reassurance was good, but he was more interested in the promised treats. "Whatcha got there?" he asked with keen interest, eyes shining with simple joy. How nice it was to be awake, and alive, and not alone! Enjoying a stranger's gesture of kindness sure beat sitting there and sulking in pain...
"I don't think I know you, but you sure look familiar. I'm I'shan."
