Vee gave him a considering look at his words, and despite herself gave him the warmest of smiles as he admitted he did not like the word. "Agreed.", was all she said, dropping the matter. There was no need to carry on a conversation about something they both felt was wrong. She liked very much that they shared opinions on more than just flirting.
She flinched a bit and blinked at him as he corrected her term with a snort. "Oh...sorry. I guess I didn't expect you to have a son near as old as I am...", she said quietly as she bit her lip and turned her attention back to Ironth's hide. At the tone of his voice however she put aside her slightly slapped feelings and turned her eyes on him again. She looked up at Ironth, wishing to know what he thought on the matter, surely his dragon knew him better than anyone else on Pern. She didn't know what she was supposed to do, or say for that matter. She wanted to go to him and hug him, but men didn't like those sorts of things, not out in the open at any rate. Besides, if he wanted comfort he probably would prefer the company of men with a great deal of wine involved over her, though she could hope she supposed.
When he started speaking again she listened while moving a bit closer under the guise of choosing a new patch of brown hide to scrub. She was almost completely soaked, which didn't bother her much at all, the cool water and the shade being so close to Ironth granted made for a perfect combination. It allowed her to not focus on being hot to try and focus on K'ton. She let him talk, not interrupting him. "Well, a man grown indeed, he's a strong name too.", she said, pausing in her washing of Ironth again to look at K'ton. She held the brush in two hands, then peering around and seeing no one close enough to worry about moved toward him and placed a gentle and reassuring hand on his arm. "If he has been alone so long...does he..well..Is he a good lad?", she managed finally. Her eyes were wide with concern but kind as always. She just didn't know what to say to him, she didn't know at all what he needed from her, so she would simply be there for him to talk to, until she knew more.
