Realizing too late that perhaps his greeting was a bit over the top, Chir quickly pulled back and managed an apologetic grin. It had just been so long! And so many scary things had happened, and Siro could so easily have been hurt, too!
With room made, the boy sat beside him on the bed and managed to look sad enough for his friend that he didn't Impress. He knew it was important to the other candidate, even if he was grateful it meant he got to return. It had been startling enough to realize after Siro had left that if he had Impressed, it meant he had to stay in Benden. They hadn't even managed a proper goodbye! It wasn't at all something he'd been prepared for. Though, just as Siro had mentioned, maybe he wasn't meant to miss him as much as he had.
Chir was certainly grateful to hear K'dar was doing well, and even more so to know that Tiberuth was on the mend. The bronze dragon had easily earned his place as one of his favorites. Of course, if anyone asked Chironhes to compile a list of his favorite dragons, all but Urudith would have made the list and vied for top place.
At Siro's question, Chir held up a finger to signal him to wait before scooting off the bed and over to the chair in front of the desk. Tugging some of those papers close, he carefully wrote out a few sentences with painstaking attention to detail.
"I write and read." Not well, clearly, but he was working on it really hard! And making pretty substantial headway, even if his grammar still left much to be desired. "I go with to next Hatching. When?" Holding it up for Sironar to see, Chir grinned from behind the piece of paper.
