Zezeth considered Dalsuth’s words for a few moments, looking at the dragonet and his siblings as she followed him over to them. I am a bit big to pounce you, she agreed. She and her brothers played pouncing games and tumbling play fights. But the blues were awfully careful with her and that took some of the fun out of it. Not that Zezeth enjoyed being hurt, but well, it was no fun if they let her win because they were afraid of hurting her!
I can run away, Zezeth said after a few more moments of thought. You can try to catch my tail. I do not think you will succeed! She stood up tall and stretched like a feline, preparing herself to run around and keep her flicking tail out of the pouncing paws of the youngsters. Once she’d been introduced to the other dragonets who decided they wanted to play, too, Zezeth started the game by bouncing sideways and prancing off, chirping teasingly as she kept an eye on the little ones, her tail flicking too and fro as she ran and bounced around more like a baby goat than a young dragon, the dragonets trailing after her in a good natured pack.
Madiquel watched Zezeth with a small smile as her dragon pranced around. “That’s okay!” She reassured N’lis, turning to grin at him. “She’s very playful, but tends to end up hurting herself because she doesn’t respect her limitations. I don’t think she will in this game, though.” The hatchlings were too small to do more than pounce on her tail, and Madiquel doubted they’d do much damage, even if they body slammed her. Besides, Zezeth was used to rough and tumble playing with her brothers.
A brilliant smile lit up Madiquel’s face when N’lis was happy she’d be moving back, and she giggled. “We’ll both be busy,” she said, gaze returning to the dragonets playing with her own green, “I’m going to go back to the Healer Hall,” she added. “I want to make Journeyman, but I don’t know if I can.” Not because she didn’t have the gusto and determination, but because there really weren’t any women of that rank that she was aware of, and while Verec seemed fair, he wasn’t the only one involved in determining if someone was ready to walk the tables. “But I’m going to try!” Grinning, Madiquel crossed her ankles and then sank to the ground, legs crossed, and tugged playfully on N’lis’ hand to get him to join her.
“How do you like having a dragon so far?” She asked curiously. He was only a few days in, so she knew exhaustion would be a large part of what his experience would consist of, but she was curious to know how it was treating him overall, and what he thought of it.
