A’tay scowled at the mention of the Harper. He knew his siblings were all protective of Wynera but he was the one that had been raised beside her and he had a particularly strong big brother defence mode for her. He would have been forever happy not knowing about this Geric guy being with his sister but not only had he seen them together at the Hatching party, but he kept hearing gossip about the adorable pair. Thankfully (maybe) it didn’t seem like it was anything serious. “I offered to bring him here to watch the Hatching but she declined. I don’t think they’re together now.” He paused and groaned when another way of looking at it hit him. “Or they’re purely physical. She’s my little sister, Zelly!” A’tay groaned again and pouted but was soon saved from further discussion of sibling sex lives by T’ryn arriving. Then again, knowing who his big brother currently and previously slept with, maybe he wouldn’t escape it after all.
When T’ryn pointed out the brown sire for the clutch, A’tay turned and frowned at the eggs for a moment. He hadn’t considered why any of their siblings were Standing for this one. The brothers obviously had to as Candidates of Ista but Winnie could have stayed home. He shrugged as he turned back to T’ryn. “The fear of missing your dragon because you didn’t show up is sometimes stronger than the fear of not living up to weird expectations you or others have created.” And then he was laughing at Zelly’s assessment and nodding. “That, too. I think the boys would be happier on blue or green since those have less responsibilities and surprise promotions aren’t likely to happen.” He exchanged a look with T’ryn and was happy, if a little shocked, to see total understanding there.
