Chironhes couldn't help but wonder if the person she mentioned that also couldn't speak was B'jin. He'd heard of same-sex couplings, but such things were rare in Lemos. At least Mylorah accepted his added inability to read or write without making him feel shame for the lack. It would have been quite easy for her to poke fun about it or speak down to him, but the young woman maintained her friendly demeanor without so much as skipping a beat. People in Weyrs were far more open-minded, Chir was starting to realize, than the Holdfolk.
At her mention of a dragon assisting them, the freckled hunter nodded with a bright smile. Maybe Larrikith was around! In a short amount of time, he'd developed a marked fondness for the green dragon as well as her rider.
Chir stumbled a little when the woman snagged his hand before he had a chance to dance out of reach on instinct. As his options were to run along behind or be pulled off his feet, the mute hurried along with her out of the stables. Instead of the small female he knew being summoned, Chir blinked in surprise as Mylorah simply shouted out for another. That was...unexpected. Perhaps he'd gotten too used to B'jin's and Larrikith's silent methods of communication.
Not having heard the Gold's exchange with Mylorah, Chir glanced up in confusion as she introduced another dragon's name instead. Following her gaze, the boy saw the striking black and cobalt hide and found himself marveling at the brilliant colors the sun brought out.
As Mylorah explained that the blue dragon would help, Chir snorted at her indication that he could also just tell her to go away. That would be far too rude! And unnecessary. He'd been working nonstop since early morning and didn't think the stablemaster would mind him taking a short break, especially to help someone else out. The community here seemed far more closely knit than back in the Hold.
Taith's introduction earned a smile and a shallow bow from Chironhes. With his right arm slung across his chest and hand fisted over his heart, it looked like quite a formal greeting. It's nice to meet you, Taith. Thank you for helping to translate. I'm Chironhes. Or just Chir. I'm doing well. Mylorah was asking for help locating someone named Fetch. I'd like to help, but I don't know who that is, he thought apologetically.
Without any conscious decision, Chir couldn't help the thoughts that filtered through on how he very much wanted to pet Taith. The dragon's hide looked inviting and he couldn't help but wonder if he'd enjoy the attention like the horses he'd been grooming in the stables had. As if realizing the idle musings had likely been heard by Taith, Chir's face warmed to a crimson that reached all the way to the tips of his ears.
Sorry, he thought quickly. I mean no offense. He wasn't at all sure what appropriate behavior was around dragons, but he hoped the male wouldn't have the same reaction towards him as Urudith had. The Bronze male had been quick to refuse any further communication with him after a blunder as a result of his ignorance, so now he was especially anxious about repeating the issue.
