Casa chewed over this thought. Having a dragon must make it a little easier to feed firelizards. After all, dragons were perfectly capable of hunting down big prey. And the scraps left from a feeding would definitely fulfill the needs of a firelizard. Another advantage to her babies and possibly Impressing.
However, in the meantime, she was willing to bet she could get friendly enough with some of her rider friends to let her tag along when it was feeding time. She grinned when she recalled her birthday and how K'ton's beast hated feeding in front of her. It didn't phase her. It was a normal part of weyr life! You got used to seeing dead things.
Casa grinned up at the big brown. He did look well oiled, and she trusted O'wain. Glancing over, she handed Kaylee to him. She creeled in protest until Casa scooted next to him with Edge. Once they were close again, she crooned, rubbing her head against O'wain's cheek before staring at him expectantly.
Shaking her head, she picked up one of the rags she'd brought, opening the oil jar and setting it down as she began to work the oil into the skin around Edge's head. Knack, seeing he would have to wait his turn, quietly winged over to Nishkath, crooning gently before curling himself into a little brown ball between the dragon's front limbs, his head resting on the bigger brown and watching Casa patiently.
Watching him, she offered him a soft smile, gently brushing his mind affectionately. "They are very easy to care for - stuff the little gluttons full of food, and they fall asleep content. We can go looking for eggs if you and Nishkath would like sometime! I know most of the wilds around here."
