“How tall? Hmm,” he’d never measured it and never quite thought about it but a quick glance around to find something that would do as a visual aid had Lazerat pointing to the main Hold that loomed over them all. “I definitely wouldn’t jump from anywhere higher than the Hold. I tried once from one point of the cliff overhang and it stung a bit on impact. So we stick with the lower branch. But it definitely still gets the blood flowing, that’s for sure!” The things boys did on dares when they were young and dumb. He supposed he was still a tad on the dumb side to continue such stunts but as long as it remained fun; it was hard to find reasons to stop.
“I suppose we’ll have to check with your brother to see when he’s available to bring you down here.” It was rather convenient knowing a dragonrider so well. Luckily, there wasn’t a risk of abusing the power since Lazerat didn’t have a lot of places to go and only asked to see his sister sporadically to keep his parents from realising they had reconnected. “I’m not sure if he would want to hang out with us given he’s learning to swim and that might be a bit too intense for him even as a spectator.” Zelly had told him about A’tay’s fear and how she had been working with him to get over it and Lazerat didn’t want to risk setting back all of that work.
He guided Zory down the path to the tavern and gave him a quizzical look when he thought he heard something whispered but it didn’t seem to be aimed at him and Lazerat let it pass. “I’m glad you did as well,” he smiled and guided his companion inside the tavern and over to an empty table. He then headed over to the counter and ordered two meals and returned to the table with two mugs of ale in hand. He studied Zoremet a moment and when he decided the blonde probably couldn’t hold his alcohol, Lazerat chugged back half of one of the drinks and then passed it over to Zoremet with a grin. “I’m guessing you don’t drink often and I don’t want you to feel obligated to drink it all but it is a good companion to the fish.”
He raised his full mug up in a small salute to Zoremet, “to new friends and crazy plans!” He took a small drink of the ale that time and set the mug back down in time for two plates of battered fish and fried potatoes to be placed before them. “Dig in and let me know what you think—of the tavern as well, though be kind. It’s livelier in the evenings.”
