Chirp squirmed along Chironhes's shoulders, delighted to have captured the golden dragon's attention. Scrambling on top of her boy's head, she leaned closer to Malvayth's snout and braced her foreclaws on it so she could lick the dragon's nose properly in a friendly greeting. Chir sent his firelizard an image of the bowl filled with eggs - as best he could imagine it - and sent the intention that she wasn't allowed here when they were present. The little green sagged a little, put out at being denied access anywhere, but perked back up quick enough when Chir also sent an image of a bowl of meat he'd have waiting for her when they got back to the barracks later today. She was easily bribed.
If I worked hard to make babies, I would feel very protective, too, I think, Chir admitted. He hadn't even made Chirp and he felt very defensive over the green flitter! If anything happened to her, he knew it would be absolutely devastating. That feeling must be especially so for children. I'll only come if you want me to, Malvayth, Chir reassured. He felt it more important to respect the gold's wishes than to follow his own eagerness to Impress a dragon of his own. It had to be difficult to be a mother and know your children could be in danger from others.
Chir made a mental note to locate the candidate master and ask for permission for his hunt. It still left his hackles up, but he knew he had to acknowledge he was a part of a community now and not just living on his own. The decisions he made impacted others, not just himself anymore. Being responsible and following proper protocol was the right thing to do, even if he didn't necessarily like it.
The hunter felt some disappointment when Cazan added that she felt strongly that golden wherries didn't exist. With such a strong conviction like that, maybe it was best he gave up the hunt altogether. He'd have to see what S'far thought as she suggested and go from there. Either way, he imagined the Weyr could always use more food, and he was a good shot. Perhaps if he posed the request in a way that showcased his skills and put them to good use, he wouldn't be denied the opportunity.
Returning to stroking Mal absently, Chir found himself considering baby dragons. Why do dragons need to have a bonded? You're all so strong. Is there really a reason you can't survive on your own? I heard dragons go between if they can't find someone...
