Nadioth and Evritt played and played some more, until Evritt fell down between Nadioth's paws one last time, unable to run anymore. He would sleep well that night, Vee was certain of it. Nadioth was content to lay with him, wings spread slightly as she let the sun warm them. Evritt was sitting with his back against Nadioth's chest with Digger on his lap, who was staring up at Nadioth, who was still doing her best to ignore him. Although she was slightly curious about him, he was mostly annoying as he flapped, chirped, and made a general nuisance of himself anywhere he went. Well...she thought he was a nuisance, but the little human liked him so Nadioth was inclined to not eat him, but she still didn't like him very much.
Nadioth had just ruffled Evritt's hair by breathing in it, which caused an uproar of giggles from the child, when Ironth appeared above them in the air, bugling a greeting before he circled and landed. "Ironth! K'ton!", came the excited call of a suddenly overexcited child. He never seemed to tire of seeing the large brown or his rider, though to be fair, Vee never tired of them either. Evritt jumped up, displacing Digger with an unhappy screech and causing Nadioth to jump up and hop back a step, startled to no end. She wasn't certain if she was more annoyed by the sudden change in the child, or curious as to what was so special about this dragon and his rider. Evritt had jumped up and down in place as he watched Ironth circle and look for a place to land. "Come on Nadioth!", he said cheerfully. "Come see!" He had bounced again then ran off, stopping every few feet to make sure the gold was following him. Which she was, though rather slowly.
By the time K'ton had made it to his mother, Evritt had launched himself at Ironth's waiting muzzle for his usual 'hug'. His reaction and following interaction puzzled the gold, who had stopped near a rather large rock to watch from a distance. She was already not fond of sharing her rider with other people, and this one was likely to be no different.
Vee gave K'ton a cheerful smile as he approached, though her cheeks tinted slightly. She could tell from his appearance he had put some effort into coming to see them, and it warmed her heart. He meant so much to her, to Evritt and she wanted Nadioth to like him, to accept him. Her heart had sped up just a bit upon seeing him, but she had taken a deep breath and made herself calm down.Are you alright? , asked, concerned over the moment. "Of course!" Vee turned to look for Nadioth as she spoke, having expected to be right behind her, only to find her seated a little ways away, quietly observing. She tried to make Nadioth feel her excitement and love for her, but nothing else as she didn't want to scare her. When she felt a rush of returned love and assurances she knew she had succeeded.
She had been about to call to her but K'ton's question caught her off guard and distracted her. "She's just there.", she told him with a smile and a nod in Nadioth's direction. "Patience, Sir.", she said with the slightest bit of her usual sass. Looking back at her dragon with a smile she proceeded to invite her to join them.
"Nadioth, come over here, love. Come meet my...friend." She had paused to stop herself from saying something else, something that Nadioth wouldn't understand. She felt a little like she was betraying K'ton, but she knew he would understand. She did turn and give him an apologetic look though, because it was weird, after all, they had been through, for her to call him just her friend.Do I have to? I am tired. I want a bath and I want to go to sleep. , Nadioth fussed out loud, even if it was only halfheartedly. She wanted her rider to be happy, and if meeting this person would make her happy, then, of course, she would do it. She just wasn't sure she wanted to.
She could tell her rider liked this person and Evritt was obviously fond of the person's dragon, which annoyed her because now he wasn't giving her all his attention. Speaking of, the child was bouncing up and down in front of the browns large eye, telling him about Nadioth and how much fun they had had, and that he just had to meet her. He stopped then and put a hand on his hip, like he'd often seen Vee do, pointed a finger at the brown, again like he'd seen his mother do to K'ton or himself often enough, and told him, "But you better be nice to her, 'cause she's special." Then he whispered at the whirling eye, "She's a gold dragon.", he told him in all seriousness as if the brown had no clue how special that made her, and Vee nearly doubled over laughing at the hilarity of her son, scolding Ironth over Nadioth.
Well..at least the tiny human has some sense. , Nadioth commented dryly as she butted her head against the back of Vaeyla's legs, as she tried to curl up behind her rider. Vee snorted softly as she fought to maintain her balance for a moment. "The tiny human has a name you know.", she said as she turned to look down at her. Yes, but I like calling him a tiny human more. , Nadioth commented as if it should have been the most normal thing to call the child. Vee just shook her head and grinned. Digger flew over Nadioth, just then, on his way to Vee's shoulder where he landed. Nadioth had reached up and snapped her teeth at him, annoyed he had flown so close, for which she was rewarded with angry chattering from the firelizard. "Alright, enough you two." She plucked an angry firelizard from her shoulder and tucked him under her arm, where he finally hushed, then placed a warm hand of her dragon's head, which then poked out from behind her rider to gaze at the man before them and then at the brown who was still holding Evritt's attention.
"Well then.", she said with a smile at K'ton. "K'ton, this is my Nadioth, Nadioth, this is K'ton and his dragon there is.."
Ironth. I know." , Nadioth interrupted her, slightly annoyed, considering Evritt had probably said the dragon's name about 50 times in the short time he'd been on the ground. Vee smirked at her dragon and let the interruption go. "Mmhmm. They are very good friends of mine and of Evritt's. You'll like them once you get to know them, I promise.", she told her, feeling every ounce of her words with every fiber of her being. Nadioth's tail flicked back and forth a bit as she stared up at K'ton, purple eyes whirling slowly as she considered the man before her again.
