"I don't blame you, Mylorah. If anything I truly am glad that you're here too. As much as I've stubbornly tried to avoid spending too much time with you to avoid any problematic appearances... I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here. Probably somehow get even less sleep." L'ri managed to smile at that and Oncaeth stretched his jaws in a yawn before adjusting how he was cuddling up to his rider. It was moments like that where the Harper knew things were going to be fine, at least where his little dragon was involved. It made the frustrations like the little tantrums, the awkward, lessons, and the exhaustion all worthwhile.
For a moment he was confused by Amagrith's little declaration, but as Mylo talked it made sense. L'ri smiled and turned to the gold. "You both are most certainly special, oh glorious manifestation of the sun." He gave her a quick wink and added, "And while I will not argue with Mylorah about how no one should be more special than someone else, I will say that you two are quite a bit more special than most people or dragons to me." He glanced down at Oncaeth and was relieved to find that the bronze was just quietly enjoying his cuddles and affection without complaint.
More insulted by his rider's surprise, the dragon huffed. I already know I'm special. He also knew he was more special than Amagrith but knew better than to say anything about it, instead just twitching his tail. The harper couldn't help but smile as he rubbed that one spot just under Oncaeth's jaw that he knew his little Maestro loved. "Mhm. And quite clever when you want to be." L'ri turned back to Mylorah, ready to get up as soon as she did. "Which one of you is hungry? I'll gladly be your taste tester. So far I've been lucky enough that the occasional extra bit of seasonings have been things I'm... acquainted with."
Between the mention of Javira and the fact that he'd survived two poisoning attempts, the Master Harper knew that Mylorah was well within her rights to have questions, and even if she was willing to hold off on them for now, she'd already kept other secrets for him, had already seen things. Questions would come eventually he was sure. So very carefully he quietly said, "Perhaps... I'll tell you a story sometime. You can tell me if you want to know more and think I should expand on it. I'm not sure if I warrants being turned into a play or book."
