Thank you! Everyone says it's because of Kor'is. I'm very proud of my dark colouring. Taith wasn't dumb--he knew a lot of the comments when his new hide appeared were meant to be mean or to insult his mate but he didn't see it that way. 'Kor'is has infected his dragon with the darkness from inside him' just meant they really were a pair and influenced each other. He proudly showed off his bond outwardly and Kor'is... well, he smiled more and didn't have as many dark moods. Taith would turn entirely black if it helped.
"Taith was a very pretty pale blue when he was little," Mylorah explained as Taith lowered his head into the perfect spot for more scratches from both of them. "Sometimes a dragon's adult hide is similar but often there's a shift in colouring. Sometimes I'm sad to see such lovely hides vanish but Taith isn't among them. He's a handsome boy and among a handful of darker blues so he's extra special." It was hard not to like every dragon but some were far too precious not to love as if they were her own. Even Edath and Kadaisicalth were lovely but just not quite at the same level as Taith.
His whine a few minutes later when Chironhes glanced back to the barn further proved her point. She suspected what was being said but waited for Taith to pass it on and nodded with a bright smile. "Of course! I'd like to learn more about you and I can answer any questions you might still have about the Weyrs. Taith and I will enjoy the sun some more while we wait. Now go finish up." She gave him a playful shove to get him moving and then sprawled back on the grass once more to enjoy the day and watch the clouds go by.
