It wasn't that L'ri hadn't noticed the lordling's discomfort, but had chosen to ignore it since calling attention to it might have further embarrassed the young man. So he'd just chatted and carried on as normal, hoping that his own casual attitude and confidence would rub off.
But then Z'kel gave the response about his father's reaction and the Harper couldn't help but frown for a moment as he studied his bath time companion. It was possible he was misreading the tone, but he doubted it. Still he just nodded and straightened a bit as he grabbed some soap to lather up his broad and hairy chest. "He should be delighted. To have a bright young man who not only managed to attract the attention of a dragon, but also adapt so well to it is quite impressive. He should be proud. I know I would be if my son managed it."
Of course, Gangleri had no idea if he would have a son or daughter until the end of the year, though he hoped it would be a boy. A girl, he felt, would absolutely have him wrapped around her tiny little finger in short order. He shook his head to try and clear his thoughts before reaching over to give Z'kel a gentle pat on the back. "You're doing well, and just think, soon you'll be able to fly wherever you want. That sort of freedom would make many a man jealous."
