Jenath coo’d under Sedath’s praise, enjoying the attention she was getting. If a gold was telling her she would be the best, surely it must be true. The little gold let out a dainty yawn, making her want to yawn in turn. Her girl was tending to her wings, and she’d eaten. It was time to sleep. Why don’t we find a warm spot to sleep, too? She nudged at her new partner, wishing to move but unsure of the direction.
“Now, stop that. Wrong way. The barracks are over here…” with a gentle prod, and careful to remind her of her overlarge wings, she corralled her green toward the entrance and general direction of their new home, until they would be assigned a weyr. For now, a cozy, warm wallow with a cot would do just fine. The new bond reflected the green’s deep exhaustion, and Aederyn stretched and yawned, too. With a start, she realized it was nearly dawn…Did that mean she’d get to sleep for longer before the feast?
Do whatever you please. So long as you please attend me when I am hungry again. And I will be hungry again. Another yawn stretched open her maw, and a most fascinating sound came out.
“I told you if you ate too fast you’d get hiccups.” The redhead held a hand over her mouth, trying desperately not to laugh at her precious lifemate. Thankfully, the noise seemed to be a one-off, and Jenath chirped, trying to figure out exactly how that odd sound had been made as the little group shuffled toward the entrance.
Above, a fair of brown firelizards greeted them, and Rudi, oh, sweet Rudi, swooped and landed in front of the green, eyes whirling with curiosity, chittering in excitement.What is it?
“It, is a firelizard. It is a ‘he’. His name is Rudi. He’s mine. Ours. You’ll like him, I think.” She gave her dragonet a reassuring pat before the brown took to the sky, whirling and dancing and finally disappearing to galavant with his brother.
Having discovered the odd ‘hiccup’ sound, Jenath wondered if she could make a Rudi sound, too. It would require further thought. And she was far too tired for that right then.I think I will. Let’s go. You need rest, and I need to grow if I am to be the best flier like Sedath says. Come, take me to our home.
“Of course, dear one. Of course.”
