The rag to his face was countered with sticking out his tongue as R’vi fiddled with the cloth for a moment. Vydoriath wasn’t complaining about being itchy but it wouldn’t hurt to slather him up with oil right away either. Following Indivara’s lead, R’vi dunked the cloth into the oil and started to apply it to his dragonet’s hide once Vydoriath was done with eating and stood in a way that made the task easier. His mind was still caught up in coming around to believing everything was real and not a vivid dream when the question about honorifics came up. He winced, paused in the applying of the oil, and finally looked over to his friend.
“No,” he stated softly, both relieved and a touch sad that Vydoriath hadn’t chosen the honorific equivalent of N’vian. His entire life had been filled with interchangeable names thanks to the fact that their parents gave them rhyming names. Since most people couldn’t even be bothered to attempt a guess, they had both been called Vian for a vast majority of their lives. He was Nyvian and Nyvian was him. That was how it had always been and R’vi had never expected it to be anything else. In a way, he believed they would Impress the same colour, have the same sort of honorific, and still be called Vian or possibly even Y’ian just to keep it simple for everyone else.
“He said I’m not Ny and called me R’vi.” The cloth was dunked back in the oil and R’vi returned to wiping down his pretty little blue, moving from one leg to the next.It suits him, don’t you agree? R’vi chuckled and nodded although the question was obviously directed at Indivara and her dragon. It was still odd to be given a new name but it had already grown on him and R’vi felt like he wouldn’t mind people calling him by it and continuing to have his own identity that wasn’t just the twin that didn’t Impress.
“This gorgeous guy here is Vydoriath,” he hadn’t meant to overlook introducing his lifemate for so long but there had been celebrating to do, boggling over the fact they had managed to Impress together, and then tending to the little fellows. R’vi tensed for a moment when Vydoriath stretched his nose out to sniff at Indivara and then his blue sibling. What if he didn’t like either of them? R’vi couldn’t imagine what life would be like if that were to happen. He was fine with sneaking around to have fun but hiding something from his dragon or putting Indivara at risk because of their friendship wasn’t something R’vi was up to doing. Thankfully, after the closer inspection, Vydoriath’s eyes were swirling with his happiness and seemed to have given approval of the fellow blue pair and R’vi relaxed again.
