A’tay smiled to himself as he heard Tiberuth land out on the ledge and felt the excitement from Xyxyth. While his dragon may have also preferred the ladies, he was fond of A’tay’s siblings and was always ready for hugs and affection. Reaching through their bond a little more, A’tay knew K’dar was in an affectionate and good mood which only further lifted his own spirits. It wasn’t that he expected the older man to shove all of his heartbreak aside and move on, but it was good to have some of K’dar back to his old optimistic self.
When K’dar made it inside, A’tay was at the cooking fire, stirring in the last of the vegetables he had sliced up. An earlier visit with Zelly had her listing ingredients for a comfort stew that she promised was full of healing magic if prepared right. So his kind gesture of making something for her was now loaded with pressure even though he knew she was teasing him and would enjoy it no matter how he cut the carrots. Still, he wanted to get it simmering and thickening up nicely before bringing it down to her later that evening.
“I don’t really feel like someone who was poisoned either. I know how lucky I was, especially when I think about Orgailian.” Their younger brother had scared them all when he was in the infirmary with how close to death he had come and his slow recovery. Even now he was still a cause for concern for a lot of them but A’tay knew not to push Orgailian too much since he could be contrary just for the fun of it. Orgailian also had enough self-love and arrogance that he wouldn’t let himself waste away.
A’tay waved for K’dar to grab a seat as he set the large wooden spoon aside and came around to join him. “And Zelly’s doing better but she’s already getting antsy and trying to do more than she should. I’m worried she’ll end up prolonging her time in the infirmary.” Not that he could blame her as even he would get bored confined to one place for so long. At least she was allowed to walk around the room now but A’tay knew what activities Zelly would prefer to do and had to make deals with her for what they would get up to when she was released if she continued to behave. “She’d probably love if you stopped by for a visit later.”
