With the visitor on the other side of the wall Malvayth began to calm down quite a bit, her posture loosening up and becoming much more of a relaxed lounge. She gave a pleased rumble at the compliment turning her head to croon softly at her precious babies. Proudly the dragon chirped, It's the biggest prize so far! "For her," added Cazan as she climbed up to sit on the half wall, heels bouncing off of it lazily. "Her mother Aradissicath I think has had more than fifty. This is only Mal's third clutch though and she's at least as big as her mom, but she also flies more frequently so who knows how many she'll get to."
My prizes are good even if they aren't as many, Mal said with a huff before nodding her head towards the golden egg. "I know, I was just letting him know that some dragons have a lot. Some only have a few you know. I think Thallyath had thirteen last time. Nothing wrong with it, just numbers." At least Malvayth seemed satisfied with that. The dragon studied Chironhes for a moment, considering if she wanted the precious scritches or not and found herself torn. She didn't want to leave her eggs all alone after all! "I'll make sure no one else comes onto the sands if you want. Just don't lean against the wall. You don't want to break it."
With a grumble Malvayth decided to compromise, moving just enough that she could rest her chin atop the wall next to her rider instead. Cazan reached out to give her head a pat. The question about the flitter was lazily passed on while she enjoyed the bit of attention. "Malvayth normally adores flitters, but it's honestly probably safer for her to hide. So long as she's either on this side of the wall or up in the ledges," she pointed up to the top of the cavern where the dragons would normally gather to watch, "then it's fine to have them here in general. She makes an exception for Lady and Sir because they're technically hers, and even they know to stay on top of her head. They try not to even fly around the eggs because they know she worries. They help her keep watch."
Have you told Xyxyth? The question was gentle and curious and not at all as annoyed and accusatory as Cazan wanted to imagine it was. "No, not yet. I think T'ryn will though. Or as soon as Lady gets back I'll have her send a note straight away for you. Are you going to let A'tay on the sands?" I don't know yet. Maybe. He does share T'ryn's face some! Caz did her best not to cringe at the reminder that T'ryn's brother had won. It was fine, they'd gotten past that. Just dragons being dragons. "My mate T'ryn is one of the few guests allowed on the sands with her. And Kor'is, but that's because he was there every day for her first clutch." And he's Taith's! Caz smiled and nodded. "That too."
