“We’ve taken steps,” Casa said slowly, turning to look at S’far curiously. She trusted him, she supposed, but she didn’t trust who might overhear them or who eh might pass the information to. After all, someone was hurting people, and while it was unlikely S’far was the one killing off his own goldriders and then making a fuss about it, she couldn’t rule that out. Not really. So it was better to be cautious and limit her sharing. “The dragons are on guard.” That much she would share, because dragons could be scary. Of course, there was no instance in memory of a dragon actually hurting a human – adult dragon, that was – but they were certainly big enough to put a stop to any mischief if they caught it.
“I’m not worried about the eggs; Thallyath might be small, but she’s fierce. And the Candidates haven’t started arriving yet.” Which was its own worry, really. Casa was concerned about a repeat of the last Touching Thallyath had overseen. That had certainly been an event and Casa never wanted to repeat it, ever. What if no one came to Stand for this clutch, afraid of what the last one was like? Casa shuddered, but did her best to brush those worries aside. She’d force people to stand, if she had to. She’d get J’zaq and some of her friends to fetch candidate to come and Impress. And she had friends who were still candidates; surely they would support her and her dragon, as they had done last time.
Casa grinned. “She’s as much thanks to you and yours.” Her smile turned mischievous, and she side-eyed S’far. “Sure you don’t want to celebrate. I’m an excellent party planner.”
