Chir snickered in his soft way, breath passing more forcefully through his nostrils than normally. The more dragons and riders he met, the more pleased he was by the obvious bond between them. So easily, they fed off each other's humor or moods, sharing in happiness and laughter. Though he hadn't seen it yet, he suspected they shared in their sadness, too. And while it was never a good thing to be sad, Chir thought it was a real gift to have someone to share it with. He wondered if the riders knew it. Did they take it for granted? Surely not.
I think I've got enough injuries to heal from without adding an eye patch to it. The healers may wish to throttle me themselves, Chir admitted, equally affectionate as he was wary. It was a strange relationship still to subject himself to their medicine. All the touching and probing still took getting used to, and while he was lectured frequently, he understood it was all said with his health in mind. But...he wouldn't mind when he would be released completely from their care!
But I like Caz's! the boy added on, hoping he hadn't offended her with the thought. A gold one would help you both match though.
Hearing that Mal agreed with Larrikith's assessment left the young hunter warm with gratitude and pride. He hoped they were right! If he could bond with a dragon that was anything like them, he'd be lucky indeed!
When it came to Sir's outburst, the boy lowered his head submissively to the proud fire lizard hoping that he'd see he meant no harm. Chirp, however, wasn't quite so mollified and still curled her lips at the older male in an obvious sign of irritation with his continued malice towards her boy. The little green flitter's tail flicked with growing agitation and she resumed her growls as Sir moved to Caz's other side to hiss at Chir again. Hoping to soothe them both, the boy turned his head away from Sir completely to address his tiny sidekick with a soft kiss on the side of her face. That distracted her from her protective growls long enough that Chirp purred with delight and showered him with affectionate head bumps.
How did he save her? he wondered curiously, his attention inadvertently drawn back to the black-headed menace still staring him down. He was quite small, even if he was bigger than Chirp. The thought that fire lizards could rescue someone in mortal danger was amazing to him, and not something he would have expected!
Chir grinned as they reached the lake and stretched his feet until the toes of his boots could just reach the water Mal had waded into. It was a warm enough day that a swim wouldn't be unwelcome at all, but based on what Caz and her dragon were saying, he had a feeling that wasn't in the plan for their ride. When asked for his opinion on what they should do, it was only natural for him to agree with Caz. She would certainly know better than him!
I don't mind at all. Taith taught me some good places to scratch if you want, too. Perhaps others would see it as a chore, but Chir truly found the task to be incredibly rewarding. I bet it can be hard to reach some places with how... The boy floundered in a search for proper words that wouldn't be inflammatory. ...How close you are to laying eggs! There! That was satisfactory.
