“I?” R’nya asked lightly, turning his attention from the cloud shaped runner the young woman had pointed out, to look at her curiously. His expression bland, R’nya nodded slightly. “More than I should,” he answered lightly, eyes studying her face in amusement. He was surprised the girl was not aware of his quirky love of children’s games. Then again, her father had probably barred her from watching his wing practices, for fear the girl would see him playing ‘dragon-dragon-wher’*.
“Children’s games are fantastic for strengthening bonds,” he explained quietly, watching her face. “Thinking outside the box, and bringing arrogance down a notch or six.” He paused, and turned his gaze and attention from the young woman and back up towards the sky once more, blue eyes searching for shapes among the fluffy white blobs. “My wingriders all pretended to hate it, of course, but most of them enjoyed themselves.” He knew, from the little comments that floated around, the secretive flash of grins, and Xyreith listening to big-mouthed dragons gossip and rat their riders out. He had even caught a small smile on S’kef’s lips at one point, which R’nya considered a quiet win.
The most important thing, however, was the simplest. “And I enjoy them.” Children’s games were a great way to unwind and to relax; to take time off and forget about anything and everything. They did not require any particular effort, and were rewarding in the simplest of ways. R’nya loved them, and found no shame in that fact. “Egg,” he added, pointing to a particularly well shaped cloud.
