The thought of a dragon singing was just fascinating, and Geric wondered if his older brother had thought about using dragons in his plays. Was there a limit to how many they could talk to? How far away? It had interesting implications for letting larger audiences hear more, but then he wasn't sure if everyone could even hear dragons. This was certainly his first time.
Hearing Dalsuth's voice was just soothing in an odd way. Maybe it was because he wasn't a human, he probably didn't judge people for the same things right? Geric didn't know, but he also didn't really want to ask. "I don't think an apology would be very well appreciated... and I don't even know who to apologize to. I only... it was just one person I was with, but things are just getting out of hand, and I'm realizing it affected more people than I thought."
Mama Quil. It made perfect sense to him. He'd been very confused about his brother's relationship to the woman, but she very quickly seemed like a maternal figure. It almost felt disrespectful to drag her down to his level by calling her a sister in law. "But do you think she would keep it a secret from even Gangleri?" That was the important thing. He could have tried to talk to his own mother, but she would have told anything he said to his father and that would have just gotten quite out of hand. And he was worried that any advice he got from Gangleri would either be a disappointed "suck it up," or more worryingly an over the top and excessively dramatic series of convoluted plans. That also were filled with disappointment.
It was nice that the dragon didn't think he would get kicked out, but Geric was still dubious about it. He took a deep breath and gave the dragon another squeezing hug as he just lingered in that nice toasty warmth. "Maybe I'll talk to her. A little. With only a few details. But after she gets to spend time with Qu'va since he's her real son and she actually loves him."
One more deep breath and then Geric pulled away and stood up, taking a moment to look around and just evaluate. "I... think I feel better? Still anxious about stuff... but I can at least hide it now." He probably shouldn't have admitted that part aloud and quickly gave the dragon some hushed reassurances. "I'll still try to talk to her... later. But we should get home while I'm okay." Maybe he'd tell Gangleri that dragons could sing. Though with his luck his brother probably already knew.
