S'kef loved that J'ver loved his little pet. The brownrider had suspected his greenrider might be hesitant to accept it at first, but judging by the man's adorable soft spot for his sweet green dragon, Tyrrisath had suggested that J'ver would actually like a little pet to dote on. How appropriate that it had been a little queen!
Of course, S'kef was pretty flitter-neutral himself, and still hadn't gotten used to being constantly berated by one, queen or no. He tolerated Vixen, though, because J'ver loved her and at least most of the time she was a proper lady. He humored both Vixen and J'ver as the greenrider followed the little queen's scolding directions. "What on Pern could have her so riled?" S'kef asked impatiently, almost disgusted.
He followed just the same, for that was the only way to stop the noise. J'ver had done well training her as well, so when she went off like this, S'kef found it safe to assume it was something interesting at least. He followed and then took a step in front of J'ver, looking down with mild surprise at the newly uncovered nest.
"I guess you're right," S'kef said, kneeling down and dusting a bit of sand off the eggs. There weren't many, and most of them looked dead. "A green's nest, I imagine. The eggs have been abandoned." There wasn't any pity there. It was just nature, and shards! He hardly cared for green dragons or their riders, much less the eggs of green fire lizards! Still, Vixen's obvious distaste and distress was noticeable. He snorted. "Think she's going to let us leave them?" he asked with an edge of cruel humor.
