Mylorah chuckled at Tiberuth’s enthusiasm and K’dar’s insistence the dragon wouldn’t starve. If she was lucky enough to find large prey, then she’d try for it to butter up to Tiberuth. She never got the impression he hated her—Syrendryth was the moody dragon of a sibling that was most likely to hate her—but it never hurt to play nice.
She shouldered her quiver and scanned the area for a good tree facing away from the river when K’dar started apologising. She rolled her eyes, knowing there had to be a reason behind the trip. The shopping trip had even been a way of apologising but at least this time her brother found something they both enjoyed. “Oh, you can apologise as often as you like,” Mylorah pointed out with a laugh and headed off to the spot that seemed perfect for a few test shots.
The tree was marked with some chalk she kept in a little pocket of the quiver for such occasions and Mylorah paced out a distance she had been taught was a good one to be at for hunting. After some practice, she was satisfied enough to head out in search of some food. The hunt was always a long game and she marked a couple of hours had passed by the course of the sun when she decided luck wasn’t on her side and returned to the camp. She left her gear beside the tent and went to join her brother at the river.
“No luck for me. I can try again later if needed but I think Tiberuth’s presence scared anything worthwhile away,” she explained and sat down on a large rock. A couple of smaller animals had been spotted but she missed the first and the second scampered off before she finished drawing back. But it looked like K’dar was fairing a lot better than she was and she smiled at how at peace her brother seemed to be. In fact, dare she say he looked happy?
“Okay, spill. It can’t just be the finishing that has you looking like that. I know you’re trying to be on your best behaviour this time but there’s more than that. Is it Kat? Is it getting serious? I thought you were both into staying casual. Is it because you’re getting laid regularly?” Mylorah knew some families wouldn’t be so casual and open and some of her brothers—the one before her included—were sometimes shy but they were both adults and she wanted to know who to thank for K’dar’s more relaxed state.
