"Nothing to worry about, Faxxonth! It just means you're growing up and getting closer to graduation. No one's gonna pick on you because all the other dragons went through it as well and their riders understand the process. Anyone who tries to tease you is just uninformed and needs to pay attention to their Candidate classes." R'dal gently patted Faxxonth's neck, confident the dragon wouldn't have any issues, even with what looked to be a dramatic hide change. He just couldn't fathom people being purposely mean to anyone, least of all young dragons! They were just growing up and even kids went through awkward phases where they grew more than others or had long limbs or a big nose to grow into. That was just how life worked and he didn't see the point in teasing anyone about things they couldn't even control.
I agree with R'dal. Besides, you're still pretty, maybe even more so now. The dark spots make you more unique and stand out. I like them and I'm sure many others will as well. Edath nudged R'dal out of the way so he could do his own neck nuzzling, taking a couple of steps closer so he could first touch snouts with Faxxonth to show he did like her dark spot, and then brushed his head along her neck. When he was finished with his quick hug of sorts, Edath sat back and R'dal swore there was a delightfully mischievous look in his eyes. You're likely to be rather popular but I hope I'm still there for your first Flight.
R'dal's mouth dropped open at the comment he knew had to be for all of them, though he sort of hoped Nerreh had been excluded. He knew Edath was a flirt and they had chased other greens from time to time over the last two turns but this was the first time Edath was propositioning a green that not only had a female rider but a rider he called a friend. Honestly, with how little female riders there were --or was, since a recent clutch Impressed several-- R'dal felt his odds of bedding one were pretty slim, considering how many blues and browns always gave chase and were better at it than Edath and him.
For once, R'dal really didn't have a reply and was suddenly shy. He wondered if his face was turning red from the embarrassment. "Sorry, if you heard that," he mumbled to Nerreh, still unsure of what else to say. They were both 'brats and grew up together, so it wasn't like much was left to be embarrassed about or to be kept a secret but R'dal felt like learning a dragon liked yours but his rider that was your friend didn't seem down for the same idea might be counted as awkward and a fact that wasn't needed.
