"Well I need to be getting back to work." Alyx said as she stood, and carefully scooped up the tiny blue, whom she still had no idea what to call, from Ardy's tail, for now, she tucked him into a

Zy picked out a bit of the fish roll and stuffed it in the gaping mouth, and followed it with another bite, just as quickly. As he did so, he caught the edge of a slightly pleased, though somewhat

Asheran grinned despite himself, and the little green firelizard - Felix, he decided, definitely Felix - let out a sleepy, pleased little croon before settling back into the crook of his arm to sleep.

It was an unexpected question, but not one that bothered her much. She smiled at him after a moment and swallowed quickly since it was hard to talk with food in your mouth. "I, uh sure. I'd like that.

"Right, of course." He felt awkward watching her eat, and busied himself with caressing the sides and neck of his green flit to hide it, occasionally slipping the lizard a bit more pilfered meat. He

"Oh I hope so, I've got this one more shot. But if I don't, well it's not like I don't have a job that keeps me crazy busy sometimes. Even if I don't I have plenty of friends who have, and likely

Asheran nodded dumbly, taking everything she said as the absolute truth - she'd done this before, after all, and he hadn't. He stroked the little green again, feeling himself settle a bit with the

"Oh shards, you're right, what will we do with them? Well there are people who take care of them for those that Impress, though most folks make private agreements. I can watch your lil gal if I don't

Asheran fed the green flit another bit of meat as he listened to Alyx, and found his apologetic grin morphing into a more genuine smile in response to hers. Between bites, he stroked the firelizard,

Alyx chuckled softly and pushed the tidbit plate over between them. "Go ahead, and yes someone must know something, but we won't find anything out till these two are stuffed so, we'd best get about it

Asheran reached across the table and snatched a piece of herdbeast off Alyx's plate as he slid into a seat opposite her, all thoughts of her supplanted by the keening little green lizard that had dug

Alyx started to turn towards Asheran, started saying "Not at all..." But with her attention otherwise taken, a tiny blue flit took this opportunity to grab Ardy's tidbit from her fingers, managing to

Asheran had done a double take as the young woman stepped past him unawares, and had hesitated only a moment before he turned to follow her, already rehearsing what he'd say to her when she stopped.

Ileana giggled slightly. "Looks like you have another mouth to feed." Her own brown landing nearby watching. "Though small wonder as to where they came from." She sat down beside Zy careful of the

It was, of course, hunger that drove Zy'fen to the dining hall. He'd just finished grooming Nerenth, and himself, to satisfactory levels, and now needed to sit down and relax a little. Of course, he

The brown, though skinny was still quite large compared to the boy, but his body started to relax a bit more, and he eyed the youngster with a combination of amusement and a slight annoyance. (( You

"Shouldn't you take him at his word then? I had always hear that your bond was suppose to be of love and trust. And yes I am because I have plans to become a bronzerider." Mato tried to stand a little
