Ronarth purred in Larrikith's directions. I know he said fondly. How nice of Larrikith, to pay his rider a compliment! The bronze preened, fanning his large wings out and crooning at the excited crowd.
D'ren seemed pretty happy himself. For once, the announcement seemed to have produced a largely positive reaction. It was good to see his riders proud of being riders, proud of the notion of taking to the skies as Pern's protectors once again. Maybe that's what they needed to start pulling together once again.
The rifts in Katila were dangerous. D'ren knew that better than most, always watching tirelessly as they tugged at the seams. One day, it would tear. Maybe this would help, just a little bit.
Aw, look! B'jin was giggling so happily! He must have been thrilled to hear an acknowledgement of his adorable relationship with R'nd. And look! S'kef was holding J'ver! Albeit very...oddly.
The day seemed successful. D'ren coddled the baby for a moment before calling out once more. "That's all for today. You're dismissed, but if any of you have questions, I'll be here to answer them for the next hour or so." He expected there would be a lot of questions. He stepped away from his podium and leaned backwards, where he knew Ronarth's neck was waiting to watch him. He seated himself, holding the baby and waiting for the inevitable rush of questions.
Ronarth purred and turned his eyes towards the baby. When can I play with her?
One day...patience!
