Vaera had not thought that morning that she would be alone with a dragon — let alone a bronze dragon who was apparently one of the largest dragons on the entirety of Pern — and when she felt Syrendryth in her head she practically jumped. “Oh,” she said quietly, looking over towards Syrendryth’s head. She hadn’t imagined that, had she? A dragon had spoken to her? Vaera nodded at Syrendryth, wanting to say ‘thank you,’ again, but thinking saying thank you to a ‘you're welcome’ may come across as excessive. She smiled a little dazedly up at him, at this amazing dragon who had deemed her worthy of speaking to. There weren't a whole lot of stories Vaera could remember where dragons talked to Hold or Hall folk, and she hadn’t been entirely sure they could talk to them at all. Unless she was so affected by the heat she was hallucinating? Oh dear, that would be troublesome...
Thankfully, T’ryn returned quickly with a mug of water, and Vaera took it gratefully, smiling at him. “You didn't take long at all, please don't worry. And Syrendryth was a perfect gentleman,” she assured him, taking a few sips of the water.
“Do, uhm…” she started to ask, after she’d consumed about half the mug of water, “do dragons generally talk to people they're not bonded to?” Vaera knew they could, Madiquel had briefly referenced a dragon speaking to her once and Vaera had filed it away as another dragon fact she wanted to remember. So it was possible, but Madiquel was Weyrbred and Vaera wasn’t and she was also clearly not feeling well so maybe she’d made up Syrendryth talking to her but she wanted to get more information on the topic before she was ready to be completely sure one way or the other.
