Well this was ridiculous, and upon their arrival at Telgar Weyr and all of its chaos Habraxel had found himself quite glad that he'd brought Kaya along with him. His nephew had been poisoned and instead of letting him go see the boy the Weyrleader had tried to push some minor hold's second son onto him?! He'd apologize to Yfris later for being so cranky, find some way to make it up to the young man, but he'd not been in the most diplomatic of moods.
At least S'far had finally taken him to the infirmary, where he got to see his nephew, and also see the little striped dragon that had been fighting to stay near him to the point that he'd bitten someone. Such an adorable little thing! He'd convinced S'far to let the little one stay, and then demanded that he get his own bed because their infirmary wasn't that full, they could spare it. And while the southern half of the territory beholden to him was within Ista Weyr's domain, with Igen Weyr closed, Telgar was the one that he sent grain and goods to for the northern half. And for the next few months until Igen Weyr was open (new he was quite excited about), a bit of appeasement here could ensure a few added supplies in those wagons as a gesture of appreciation.
After that it was just a matter of walking around, watching things, observing, occasionally stretching his legs outside while Kaya offered her assistance to the healers like the terrible woman she was instead of appeasing him. So when on one of his ventures back into the infirmary he heard Vensy's voice he'd excitedly strode over. "Ah! You're awake! About time too, young man. You had me quite concerned. You miss your little friend? I can fix that."
He'd grabbed the bed and just pushed it over until they had a cozy little double, and then gone around to check on the boy only to find himself tightly squeezed in a rare display of physical affection from the boy. Habraxel frowned slightly, some of that worry resurfacing as he very carefully returned the hug and rubbed his back. "You look better than you did when I was here earlier. And there are so many striking young dragons! I don't think I've ever seen these sorts of marking before. Who's your little... ah.... brown friend?" He honestly wasn't sure to be honest as he peered at the neighboring boy and dragon.
As soon as I'vens released him from the hug he introduced Ch'es and Pardrith as friends and corrected him on the color. Habraxel smiled and turned to give the pair a bow. "My apologies. I'm not as familiar with these things and have never seen such a dark shade of bronze before. And it is a pleasure to meet you Ch'es, any friend of I'vens is welcome in Igen Hold."
