We meet again [Nayeli]

[Mali]

Today was an uneventful day. Varden looked around the small, makeshift tents and wondered how the riders could be living this way. They were great and powerful warriors who had fought in the Blue Divide. Surely they could handle and stand their own against those that sacked the city. Sure, there were quite a few still learning and quite young, but it shouldn’t be that much of an issue should a few people guard those individuals.

However, like Taured and Varden preferred, the riders had chosen to flee the city in as peaceful a manner as they could. There had been some defence against the attacks to the city, but they weren’t starting the fights themselves.

Varden sighed as he walked through the tents. It was a miserable day. Looking up to the sky and taking a quick sniff of the air, Varden could tell that it was going to rain later on. It wasn’t that he didn’t like the rain, it was more to do with the air after it rained. He hated the smell of the sea air mixing with the damp smell of grass. It wouldn’t be that bad if they were over the spine or something place away from the ocean.

Varden was about to head over to the water, trying to find something to do when he caught a familiar scent in the air. He knew who that was and felt himself start to get giddy inside. Shaking his head, Varden wondered what was wrong with him. It was just Sunglow. Then again, their last encounter had been some time ago and he had been rather embarrassed about it. How could a dragon not know how to catch its own food? Well, if you ever wanted to find a dragon who didn’t know, then you wouldn’t have to look any further.

He now knew how to hunt for food, thanks to Sunglow. Maybe he should make his way over to her and start a conversation? But what would he talk about? The weather? No, even she would be able to tell it was going to rain. Talking about the weather would just be awkward. Well he had to think of something. His feet had already carried him all the way over to her location.

’Think cool, smooth. Don’t be an idiot. Don’t do what Ace would do,’ he thought to himself. Approaching Sunglow quietly, he cleared his throat in her mind before smiling to the female dragon. Wait, he should say something! But what? He hadn’t decided on anything!

“Nice weather, I mean, it looks like rain,”

[/b] he looked away for a brief moment. ’Damn, I sounded like a complete idiot! I should walk away,’ he thought silently. But if he walked away, they would meet up again eventually. There was a very good chance that they would meet again since they were ground-bound for the next little while and they were all living on the same island.

“How have you been, Sunglow?”[/b] that was a bit better. It was good for him to sound caring. And he did care. He cared for Sunglow quite a bit now.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

As I woke from my morning nap, my jaws opened wide and I let out a sound similar to a large feline waking from their own nap. Licking my jaws, my eyes went wide at the feeling of rumbling in my stomach and I snarled slightly. ”Alright, alright… We will eat you pesky organ.”

[/color] Standing to my feet, I few other dragons glanced my way before laying their heads back down. Maybe a dip in the water would do me good? Yes, that sounded like a good thing and I could catch a shark or something. I had found that food from the sea was rather tasty. Shaking my body, I lumbered towards one of the many open areas between the dragons. Looking around, I moved carefully past dragon after dragon. Tasia was fast asleep, something I was happy for her. Technically, elves rarely sleep, but she had run herself beyond ragged. Since leaving the great city-state, she had been constantly moving and it had even caused her to get ill and short tempered.

Finally, my feet hit the edge of the cliffs the sea touched my nostrils and made me smile. Golden eyes noted the darkened skies on the horizon and it meant that soon, a storm would be upon them. That was not something I wanted, but who knew what might happened during this storm. Sometimes, great things happened, but other times, bad things happened. As I prepared myself for lift off, the scent of another caught my nostrils. Varden A smile played at my facial features and I looked around for a moment. The scent was close and soon I saw the green colored dragon.

My heart fluttered in my chest, but I forced myself to gain my composure before he was upon me. “Nice weather, I mean, it looks like rain.” With a deep chested chuckle, I nodded and my head turned to the sky. ”Yes, will make for some nice current to glide on.”[/color] It sounded like he might have been nervous, though I had no idea why. ”How have you been, Sunglow?” Looking back to him I smiled for a moment. ”Wonderful. Was about to take flight and find some breakfast.”[/color][/blockquote][/blockquote]

As Sunglow chuckled, Varden felt like running away. Was she laughing at him or had he actually been funny? His intention wasn’t to be funny, but if that’s how it had worked out, then great. But if she was laughing at him instead, then not so great. So now he had to decide, which it was. Was she laughing at him or had he made a funny joke? Well, he couldn’t very well ask her. If he did, then it would seem as if he cared too much. Which, he did care too much. Why should it matter whether she was laughing at or with him? It shouldn’t matter at all, it was stupid.

...

But he did care and there was no changing this fact. But he would just have to put up with not knowing. There was no way he would ask. Even if he did care, he would never let her know that.

“Yes, beautiful currents,” Varden cleared his throat, as if to sound knowledgeable about the currents. He hadn’t even thought about that. It would make for perfect flying conditions, aside from if they got caught in the upcoming storm.

As Sunglow said that she had been wonderful since they last met, Varden felt himself overanalysing her reply. Did that mean that she hadn’t missed him? Well, it wasn’t like he had missed her terribly. Of course, he had thought of her from time to time, but it wasn’t like he had longed to see her again every day since their first encounter. So he shouldn’t be analysing what she had said at all. There probably wasn’t any meaning behind it anyways.

“That is good news. Would you mind if I joined you on your search for nourishment?” Varden hoped that she would say yes. He wanted to spend even more time with Sunglow. Varden wasn’t exactly sure why, but when he was around the younger female, he felt livelier. That wasn’t to say that Taured made him feel bored and dead. Everything just felt brighter when he was around Sunglow.

Stretching his wings out, not completely trying to show off, he leapt into the air with grace and agility before hovering, waiting for Sunglow to join him. He hadn’t waited for her to answer whether he was allowed to join her, but he assumed that she would be fine with it.
