His laughter at their teasing of the dragons faded when N’mor realized his dragon had damaged hide. T’ryn inched closer to see the area that had been rubbed the wrong way and nodded when the question was aimed at him. He took the piece of strap back and fiddled with it, watching the way the pieces rubbed and how the joints worked. He wasn’t a master craftsman but he knew the basics and loved a good puzzle. “I think if we adjusted the way these two straps connect, it would help. See, if we angled this piece like this, and with a bit more give on the strap, it should help,” T’ryn demonstrated the best he could, working with the image in his mind and how he thought it would go. He had no idea until they could actually assemble it but it was a good start.
N’mor’s mischievous suggestion brought out a laugh as T’ryn stopped mentally working on the solution for the straps and returned his attention fully to his friend. “I don’t think they’d miss a few pieces,” he agreed, also lowering his voice. It wouldn’t do to have the bronzeriding sons of Weyrlingmasters and assistants caught discussing something that most would attribute to certain blueriders like I’shan or greenriders like A’liran when they were bored.
I want to say he’s a bad influence on you, but some days, I really do wonder and think you just encourage each other, as always, Syrendryth spoke only to T’ryn, never having been one to voice his opinion to anyone else. Most people simply weren’t worth it and only T’ryn’s response on such things mattered. T’ryn turned, grinning at his dragon. “Syrendryth agrees with us.” The bronze barely contained a sigh.
