"Pharalth, just calm down-" Don't tell me to be calm! the stocky brown snapped, wings flared in irritation as he cowered and hissed at the ceiling of the weyrling barracks. V'lis was exhausted, he hadn't been able to have as much of a congratulatory get together after the Hatching because of Pharalth's touchy mood, and he hadn't been able to get any sleep with the dragonet constantly panicking and trying to flee outside. So he was just as grumpy and not in the mood to deal with this sort of needless obstinance.
The brown growled, his own anger being fueled further by his rider's mood, his tail twitching hard enough that it smacked V'lis in his bandaged chest, making the man cough and wince from the pain shooting from a broken rib. That immediately made the brown shrink down apologetically, his gravelly voice softer but still irritated.Sorry... I didn't mean it. Please can I go outside? I hate it, everything is too close. I need a higher ceiling.
"Okay, okay. Just... come on. You'd going to have to get used to be inside eventually you know." V'lis stood up, grabbing a blanket as he shuffled outside, finding a nice spot that wasn't too wet with snow right by the door so he could sit down and wrap himself up. At least the sun was out and shining for the moment so that he could feel a little warm as he leaned his head back and closed his eyes.
Pharalth tromped around in a tight circle before settling down next to his boy, the single bit of safe closeness in existance, face lifted to the sun as he closed his eyes and basked in its comforting warmth. This was much more like it, sure there was a wall a bit too nearby, but at least he had the sky overhead to keep him from feeling too cramped. The soft crunch of footsteps ruined the mood though and he cracked open an eye to glare at the intruder, letting out a soft hiss to warn them not to get too close. "Pharalth," said V'lis without even bothering to open his eyes as he sighed wearily. "If you want to be outside you have to tolerate other people being outside too. Otherwise we'll have to go inside."
