"We're bein' offered immediate spots at a new Cove?" Remmy looked at his sister worriedly. "Did ya accept? I mean, I kinda like it here. If we leave we're gonna hafta say bye ta everyone here, then go tell Maw 'n Paw we'll be livin' somewhere else. Won't they be impatient?"
"Nope," Vivi said happily, Fliara perched on her shoulder and reflecting her good mood. "Their Covelord said they don't mind waiting as long as it takes, which includes all the goodbyes."
"And my swim here," Rocinantess threw in.
"And my chasing that purple Azeriss," Seiraliess agreed. "Can't leave until I do that, now can I?"
Both humans blinked, as this was the first they'd heard of either dragon's plans. "Since when are you chasing?" Remmy asked finally.
"Since we graduated from calf training," the blue said pleasantly. "The girl's got the same ideas, and her vote has more weight than mine." This from being raised to believe that females were special. Which they are, of course. Heh. "So we're staying for a while."
Vitrem sprawled on his blue's back, basking in warm sunlight. Liess basked in his pride, having caught the female he'd set his sight on. The lovely purple Azeriss was who had lured him into staying, and for good reason. As if that wasn't enough, she'd clutched a grand total of ten eggs on the beaches, quite a lot for her size. He was obviously having a good time right where he was.
But we are leaving once the clutch hatches, Remmy told him firmly, though it didn't have much effect when his Bond could turn his head and see the boy completely relaxed and very comfortable.
No we aren't, Seiraliess told him cheerfully. We have to wait for Rocin to swim and clutch as well, because she told me I couldn't leave without her.
He opened one eye and looked at his blue in amusement. You know, she's not the absolute power in the universe. You can do something without her permission.
Why don't you tell her that, because I'm not about to irritate a female in heat.
