V'riy had been waiting when Arddra ran to him and had opened his arms, wrapping them around her. He held the girl tightly in his arms, wishing for all the world that he could have prevented what happened to that poor golden dragonet. It was a shocking thing and might disturb her deeply. He tried to watch her reaction as she had run to his embrace; it hadn't been only this event that she was running form, he was sure of that.
The bronzerider slowly ran fingers through her hair, doing his best to comfort her and knowing that there wasn't much he could do but be there for her. At worst, she might be deeply upset and feel that she lost her only chance at a queen. V'riy would straighten her out immediately if she started to think along those lines. It wasn't her fault. These things unfortunately were part of the Hatching process.
Morith crooned softly and opened a wing, positioning it to shield the pair from onlookers.
V'riy placed a hand on her cheek and turned her head, forcing her to meet his eyes. They seems a bit red rimmed but he couldn't really be sure under the shade of Morith's wing. The bronzerider paused a moment, looking into her eyes but saying nothing. Finally he very gently stroked her cheek with his thumb. He wanted to comfort her, but he wasn't sure if she'd allow it... in these kind of situations, V'riy had found that actions spoke louder than words. Actions of the... sexual healing kind.
He was torn. His desire to comfort Arddra warred with him belief that it would be best to stay away from a future gold rider. Combined with her feelings about dragonriders, it could go particularly bad for him if he tried, even with good intentions.
Briefly he wondered how long he'd be able to keep the internal struggle going.
V'riy sighed and whispered softly to Arddra. "Are you okay now?" he asked quietly. "We can go somewhere else, or we can stay right here... your choice."
