The more Larnell spoke the more horrified Zoremet became. What if he was right?! What if there was some horrible thing that he'd done to make K'dar angry, something so horrible that even his cousin would be mad at him too? Zory was visibly shaken by the idea, the distress plain on his face as he tried to figure out the best solution.
And then Larnell was laughing and he realized that it had been a mean joke. He pouted through the hug, but didn't pull away since he was at least getting something nice out of it. "Ugh. I know you were joking but now I'm worried you were accidentally right and more people would get mad at me if they knew." Zory sighed, melting in a helpless boneless heap to lean heavily against Larnell. "I guess I'll try to talk to him later. I'll send a note tonight or tomorrow maybe, try to talk in person after the hatching if it's not better by then."
He hated every part of this, it was making him nervous and anxious and his heart was fluttering enough that he stayed firmly affixed to his cousin's warm body for comfort until he finally felt himself calm down. "I don't like talking to people who are upset with me. I don't even like talking to people when I'm upset with them!" He glanced up to see Pit peering down at him curiously from atop Larnell's shoulders, so he reached up and gently touched her nose. "Maybe Pit will help me feel brave about it or something."
Zory could have sworn the firelizard shrugged in response but he was positive no one would believe him. They weren't that smart after all. Supposedly. He grumbled and adjusted himself to be a bit more comfortable on top of his trapped cuddle partner. "Could you at least help distract me for a bit until then? I'm sorry for interrupting your reading earlier... maybe you could tell me about that. Or what dragon you want to impress-oh no! If I impress how can I talk to K'dar?!" He hadn't even considered that as a possibility! If he impressed he'd be too busy to talk to his brother! But... maybe that would be a good thing. He frowned thoughtfully as he considered it.
