He could just sink to the bottom of the lake and not resurface. It was a serious consideration as L'ri continued talking about his manhood and other peoples' manhood and other peoples' anything and did he ever stop?!
He's not partial to any instruments. The dragonet frowned. That's not true. You like music, Ch'es. Ch'es wondered if he'd gone and jumped into the volcano with how hot his entire face felt with embarrassment. He was not explaining this to his dragonet! He didn't even want to understand what L'ri was talking about. It was only through context clues that he even could guess. Orphaned at an early age, the boy hadn't been exposed to sex even in a broad sense as Holdfolk typically were. His only comparisons were from seeing animals in the forests surrounding Lemos, and he'd certainly never felt any stirrings that made him interested in mocking them with his own kind.
Miserable at the continued conversation, the boy managed to muster up the courage to ask L'ri since he was offering. Ch'es had kept his preferences, or lack thereof, close to his chest whenever discussions came up about it. Since most of his other classmates were eager, he'd thus far remained under the radar in that regard.
What if I don't want to do any of those things? he asked.
What things? Pardrith asked, speaking to Ch'es alone. When the freckled hunter requested the dragonet simply translate, the dark bronze huffed with annoyance but did as he was asked. Since he couldn't satisfy his curiosity, he took out his frustration on Oncaeth with another pounce.
What if they are scarier than any boar or wherry or feline?
Sensing his boy's unease, Pardrith paused in his play and looked seriously at Ch'es.I'll protect you from anything scary, the dragonet promised. Ch'es smiled fondly. Silly dragon.
