A'tay flinched as Malvayth's enthusiastic voice boomed in his mind, though it wasn't so much the volume but the topic. He knew the gold dragon called her eggs prizes and that Xyxyth was the current winner of the fun game known as a Flight. He also knew, thanks to T'ryn from early into Cazan's pregnancy, that Malvayth had the same line of thought when it came to humans. So he knew exactly what the dragon was suggesting and his cheeks were beginning to warm when she next pointed out the fun they had wrestling. It was true; it had been fun and neither one of them wanted to immediately part ways after the Flight. Sometimes he still felt guilty about that and how much he enjoyed himself.
He focused harder on keeping the little taps to the chisel even and light to keep a consistency he was struggling with but it was getting harder with Malvayth studying him so closely now. It was easier to ignore her and pretend the conversation wasn't for him when she wasn't eyeing him up and maybe she realized it as well. The direct question had A'tay giving a soft whimper as he kept looking at the small chunk of wood on the bench that he straddled. He should have sat facing away from Cazan but didn't want to be rude. Now he was being rude by refusing to look up at either the rider or the dragon. And Xyxyth wasn't helping! The bronze was playing guard dragon and lounging just outside the door in the sun but still blocking the entrance while pretending to ignore the conversation. A'tay knew he was listening and chose to leave him floundering alone. It was likely some confidence building exercise.
A'tay was debating how to explain that some games took longer and had to be played by certain people for the best prize when he was saved by a short attention span. Not that he was really doing anything all that exciting or worthy of Cazan's attention as well. He still wanted to flash between but he supposed the focus on his attempts at carving was better than who he should or shouldn't be in bed with. "I'm practicing with the chisel. I want to carve a pattern into a box I made but I'm not very good at it yet." He showed first Cazan the pencil lines of vines and leaves that he had drawn onto the wood and was now working around with the chisel and then turned it to Malvayth so she could get a better view as well. His goal was to be good enough that he could make some as gifts for friends and maybe even bring some to a Gather in the future to trade with.
