Chirps and chittering came from a pair of firelizards, one green and one purple, that circled the head of a dark haired girl. The girl was laughing at the firelizards antics as they played with each other. The purple had enticed the green into a merry game of chase. The girl shook her head as she and the two firelizards were joined by a young blue dragon.
Mine what are they doing? Inysalth asked curiously as he sat by the girl and watched the firelizards.
"They're playing." Ariya answered laughing a bit.
Oh. Inysalth replied his tail twitching. He liked his' pets. They were entertaining. Suddenly the two lizards seemed to tire of their game and perched on Ariya's shoulders chirping happily.
"Well I'm glad you two are happy." Ariya said amusement coloring her voice as she settled down at the edge of the bowl with her harp and began to play a simple but lively tune. Her lizards crooned with the beat of her music and a smile tugged at the corners of the girl's mouth. Life was good. She had her bonded and her pets.
Suddenly a frown flashed across her face and sorrow flickered in her eyes as the music faltered. She didn't have her family anymore though. They had basically disowned her after impression all because of Inysalth. They thought it meant something more about her sexuality. Not that it was true or that Ariya would ever give Inysalth up. She wouldn't trade him for the world.
But it still hurt.
I am still here, Ariyamine. I will not leave you. the blue crooned, his eyes whirling with worry. Ariya reached over and scratched his eyeridge.
"I know you won't." she murmured, her voice soft and sad. Circa rubbed her head against the girl's cheek crooning as Storm chirruped and nuzzled her hair. The girl smiled gratitude flashing through her for the love of her bondeds. She had them and the other weyrlings at least.
