You won't hurt her. The words echoed in his head as Rham stared at the little bundle in his arms and her tiny, tiny face. He'd have to make sure so many things were picked up, cleaned, his work... he'd have to take extra care to decontaminate himself after he worked in the lab. Maybe he'd just keep an extra set of clothes there to change into every time he worked on compounding or mixing.
Hispidath was too distracted by the tiny little baby and his rider's emotions to even care about his rider's name. Hopefully he'd get to see her in person soon, and he knew that Varanuth was just as eager. But he could be patient, even as he shifted his weight excitedly.
Rh'us carefully moved the chair closer to the bedside so that he could be as close to August as he could without just climbing up onto the bed with her, and leaned in to give her a gentle kiss. "I don't know how yours is doing, but Hispidath is... quite excited. I'm surprised he hasn't tried sticking his head inside." I am much more dignified than that.The dragon grumped at the both of them before he finally settled down with a sigh and a huff next to the gold.
It was an amusing little tantrum, not that Rh'us would call it that aloud. He just shook his head and turned his attention back to August, watching her as she rested. "I don't mean to sound impatient... but when do you think I'll get to join you in bed again? I'm just trying to decide if I should rearrange and drag a couch in here or not until you've recovered and I can sleep in bed." He'd planned on joking about stopping by to see T'drin under the ruse of seducing him just to fall asleep, but now that he was cradling Astah in his arms he just wanted to stay there for the moment.
He huffed softly and smirked. "Don't think, by the way, that you've managed to somehow tame me by handing me this baby. I'm sure I'll be back to my normal irresistible self eventually. Just right now, I happen to want to be here with you and Astah a bit more."
