"Ah you've met him? He's a very good man, took me and my mom in without hesitation after... well after we were alone and wound up at his front step." I'vens gave a small shrug at that, not wanting to dwell so much on unpleasant topics. "But I've been living with him for a long time, and he's practically been a father to me. He's just been very busy lately. When he found out about the Touching he was going to clear his calendar in time to come to the Hatching but..." he shrugged and gestured around in the vague direction of hatchlings as he said, "some dragons didn't want to stick to any schedules it seems."
The thought of going back in and seeing his family made him smile, especially a certain cousin of his. Nebraxin was the last person he should have been thinking of, but he couldn't really help himself. So he tried to focus on the pretty woman next to him instead and turned his smile to her as he nodded. "I would love to show you around." The mention of Katila wasn't expected but it made sense enough so he just nodded as he wondered if he'd known her once upon a time. "Just keep in mind it's quite hot during the day most times of the year, but it's very dry at least, not like the jungle, unless you head east towards the river, but that just gets more marshy. There are some fruit orchards but otherwise not a whole lot of trees."
Since Mylorah laughed at his suggestion they sleep outside, I'vens decided to rotate just enough to use the woman's lap as a pillow. It was perhaps a little bit personal, but it would be easy enough to stop if she or their dragons objected. "Z'kel and L'ri huh? They're attached to you?" He ran through his memory to try and place them. He was pretty sure both lord lings from the Stands had honorifics that started with Z, and L'ri... that was the old man if he remembered right, the Harper who kept chattering on and wouldn't sleep while he adjusted. Wouldn't let him sleep as a result either.
"A nap does sound lovely... if you're fine with it then that sounds rather good. Feel free to tell me some fun stories about yourself if you want. Or you can ask more questions. If I fall asleep then I'll just have to answer your questions when I wake up, or have you retell me a story or two." He yawned as he settled in, eyes closing as he smiled and listened to Sher playing with Amagrith. "I'm glad they're getting along. He really likes to play."
