This all still felt surreal. He'd neatened himself up and dressed in his best clothing, walking down to the Feast with the small green all but pressed to his side. He couldn't stop staring at her and smiling like a fool, and she would look right back up at him with an adoring croon. His Lufianth. How had he ever managed before she'd found him? He'd already cried a few more times from sheer happiness, and just looking at his dragon was enough to make his eyes threaten to water again.
So did seeing his father walk towards him with a smile.
The young man in question let out a shaky laugh, reaching out to embrace N'ori. His shoulders threatened to tremble, but he forcibly reined in his emotions and stepped back, his grin lighting up his entire face. "I think I'm going to go with D'hka. And this is Lufianth!"
The little green had watched the exchange with purple eyes, not hesitating to press herself against N'ori's legs as though to better convey her love and appreciation for the man that had raised Hers'. Hello! It's so nice to meet you! My D'hka thinks the world of you. And so, naturally, she did too!
D'hka watched his green with unabashed tenderness, smitten beyond words.

He grinned widely at his father, his face flushed with pleasure at N'ori's exuberance. Truth be told, he didn't think there were many ways to shorten his name, but he was still satisfied! That was when he really looked at his dad--and felt an ugly jolt of shock ripple through him when he realized what seemed off about his face.
Lufianth immediately curled her limbs up to aid in the scooping, cheeping with adoration when she was bestowed a kiss! Isn't he lovely? She couldn't help but gush over Hers, reaching out to delicately touch N'ori's nose with her snout as though to return the kiss. He's so generous and kind and strong... Yes, she could have sang his praises all evening, if allowed! A sudden spike of alarm from D'hka was enough to immediately have her twisting in the larger man's grip, yellow bleeding into her eyes.
"We'll come visit Meigth as soon as we can, but--" But what had happened? Except D'hka was putting the pieces together at a frantic pace, only forcing himself to stop when he realized that Lufianth was almost beginning to vibrate with anxiety due to his emotions. He took a deep breath, immediately reaching out to her with his hands so he could stroke at her hide. "It's okay." He mumbled. Nothing for his sweet girl to worry about, anyway, but he could feel Lufianth's doubt. He focused on his father again before quietly asking, "Kahbrohm isn't coming, is he?"

It was really Lufianth's sudden alarm that let N'ori know that despite his best intentions to keep the mood light and celebratory, D'hka had realized something was off. He was a highly empathetic boy, after all, and if the absolute adoration and affection that the little green exuded was any hint, it was absolutely the part of his son she latched onto.
So, he'd been at least somewhat ready to answer the young man's question when it came - braced to not lie or try and sugarcoat it. Kahbrohm's sour mood was better known sooner, rather than later, even if both N'ori and Meigth wouldn't allow it to fester. Shards, it was likely the young man had taken his desire to lash out to someone who would better allow it from him. Perhaps that green friend of his.
"He's not. I'm afraid to say that he handled being left behind this time very poorly." As though the slight swelling in his face wasn't any indication of that. While it hadn't bruised yet, there would be one to show for it later. "I'm sure with some time, he'll come around and a proper introduction to your lovely lady will soothe his woe."
A bit of a stretch, but he wanted to - had to - believe it. "Perhaps his luck will fare better when Banshidheth's brood hatches in the new few sevendays."

With her D'hka's reassurances, Lufianth stilled in N'ori's arms, crooning worriedly with her usual sweetness. D'hka listened quietly, his own emotions roiling about inside of him. It hurt, to put it mildly. He knew the disappointment Kahbrohm must be experiencing, but allowing himself to get upset would only upset his dragon in turn. Slowly, carefully, he pushed his own emotions down, knowing he could think about them later.
I would like to meet him later, if you do not think he'd be too upset. Lufianth said a touch anxiously to both men. I don't want to hurt his feelings.
D'hka was privately more concerned about Lufianth's feelings. The last thing he wanted was to fight with Kahbrohm, but he absolutely would if it meant protecting his green. "We'll give him some time to cool off." He said, glancing at his father again. "I hope so." Never in a million Turns had he expected to Impress before his brother... and a part of him felt extremely guilty for not feeling guilty about it.

"Yeah." That was really all he could say. He wanted to share this moment with Kah, but could respect his need for space right now. If that meant waiting a little while, then it was a small price to pay. D'hka allowed himself to refocus on the sight of his father holding his dragon, and a smile again crept across his face. "I'm excited for that," He confessed, and his eyes brightened at the next question. "No, not yet. I want to go introduce myself soon. Lufianth can't wait to introduce me. Do you know if Nassiva is here, or is she busy with work?" They could sneak by later, if she was.
Oh, yes! I know Inannath will want to say hello, and maybe Mother and Father will have time for us to visit. They would certainly both be busy meeting all of her siblings' riders, but Lufianth thought that she and D'hka could be quick!
