Oh, if she had been meant to be less aflutter of the older brown and move her hearts on elsewhere, he made it very hard. That Anakumath kept herself from scooting closer to lean too eagerly into the touch of his nose against hers was a feat itself. Yes, she would look prim and proper like a gold was meant to. I ache over a battle that others fought harder, she looked over her own hide, knowing it would heal. Knowing she did not fall from the sky as several of the others did.
When Elzebuth laid down, however, Ana was a bit more inclined to let more of that childish affection show, scooting closer so her shoulder leaned against his. I wish I had been more prepared, she admitted. Kleoth would have never liked knowing that when she finally went to battle she would not be ready to catch her siblings and have to leave them to others - and Anakumath wasn't sure if any warning would really prepare her young friend for that. But our training prepared us for the worst of it.

You cannot be. He agreed almost idly. So why do you continue to to torture yourself over it? You did all you could. As Your comparison to others is unfair. You cannot flame as they can, and they cannot catch the others as you can.
Elzebuth considered that for a moment, tilting his head slightly. Mine slipped into unconsciousness, during one of our early fights. He said quietly. I didn't understand what had happened. I nearly threw myself Between, thinking he was gone. It was not... an easy thing for him to admit, and even now, the memory was enough to make his eyes go grey. That sudden, terrifying loss of contact with his beloved G'ran...
The big brown sighed quietly after a moment, not hesitating to reach down and nudge at Anakumath's cheek. It is the nature of our bond, I think, to worry over one another. Rider and dragon... We desire to keep one another safe, more than anything.
