Edath watched the firelizard, holding still as the little creature examined him. He was used to the creatures and didn’t mind them, though normally they were used to him as well. This one seemed hesitant and wasn’t sure what to make of him, likely due to the size difference. He sent out waves of comfort to the little brown, promising he was harmless, and bobbed his head in greeting.
R’dal smiled at their interaction and gave Edath a pat to his side for his manners before turning an even brighter smile on Aederyn. “Awesome!” He was super happy that she had agreed to a ride! He’d been a bit worried he was being rude by offering since he didn’t know the rules and runners, or at least this one, seemed to take a lot of pride in her work. He didn’t want to offend her by making her job a little easier because he wanted to keep chatting with her.
“I’ll show you how to climb up and help you as well,” R’dal did his best to slowly climb up Edath, the blue hunkering down a bit lower to make it easier for Aederyn when her turn came about. He was so used to the mounting up, though, that it almost seemed harder when he stopped to think about it. With a chuckle, he said as much, and then scurried up normally before nodding at what he did and came back down to repeat with slower movements.
Then he was helping his new friend up, grinning proudly when she was settled in. Remembering his first time atop a dragon—though he was a lot younger and smaller then as he rode his dad’s dragon—R’dal gave Aederyn a moment to soak in the experience and make sure she was comfortable before finally speaking again. “Tell us when you’re ready and we’ll take off. It’s pretty smooth, but it might be a bit scary the first time, but I got you! And then just let Edath know the way and we’ll be there in no time.”
