A'tay gave Malvayth a small smile as she praised his work and gave a suggestion for what it could be used for. And before he could stop himself he offered, "I could make you a bigger one so you can keep some flowers in your weyr." He glanced at Cazan as soon as he said it to see if she was mad or not but it looked like his offer was harmless enough. At least for them. Now he would have to build a flower bed and put some detailing on the sides... it would keep him busy while he was in Telgar, he supposed.
But his thoughts shifted back to the project at hand as Cazan moved closer and complimented him as well. He was never going to survive spending so much time with the gold pair. "I'm going to die from embarrassment around you two," he mumbled before taking a steadying breath and giving Cazan a little smile as well. "Thank you. I doodled an idea just to get it down somewhere but I just drew this directly without measurements or real reference. Like I said, it's just practice. I may have made it too intricate and I should scale it back on the next one." He frowned down at his attempt. It wasn't awful but he could see some areas were going to be tight and take a lot of focus and time to get them neatly carved out.
"And please don't tell the Weyrleader. I know he means well but he's... a lot." A'tay was slightly intimidated by S'far but mostly because of how outgoing and direct the man was. The fact that they shared a hobby only made it worse instead of something to bond over. He was afraid he'd disappoint the older bronzerider by not being good enough. Maybe a joint wasn't tight enough or he should have used a different wood. He knew it was smart to get advice from skilled crafters but on top of it all, A'tay just didn't want to be a bother. There were so many other things going on that a Weyrleader had to focus on.
At least Malvayth wasn't studying him and his work anymore. A'tay let out a quiet sigh of relief as the gold turned her attention back to her eggs. This caught Xyxyth's attention and while he didn't leave his spot as barricade, he did watch Malvayth work and contributed to her stories where he could. A silence settled between him and Cazan, A'tay thought they were both going to go back to their own things but she caught him off guard and he gasped and looked up from his wood with wide eyes as he was told to spread his legs.
Then he saw her smirk and the measuring tape and his heart started beating regularly once more. He really was too easy to tease like Zelly liked to point out. "Oh, right. You don't have to make me anything," he protested, again, even as he stood up and moved around as directed. He knew he wouldn't win a battle against Cazan given how determined she could be.
