❝ Y'know what? If you can find the spell, I wouldn't mind knowin' how heavy my empty head feels. ❞ He shrugs, already pondering a costume ideal. Some spare scrap armor could be molded and scorned black fairly easily. ❝ Need' a horse though. Maybe her Majesty... ❞

Slipping old leather shoes onto his feet, he stands onto his feet. Body worn from weeks of battle and last night's... To say, he's sore. ❝ My love? ❞ A way of asking if he's ready. A hand out, waiting for hers to take it.

❝ I've noticed. ❞ He happily remarks, fitting his rigid arms into the right sleeves of his wool shirt. The one garment he has on hand, and something he doesn't mind getting shredded by a litter of hungry little dragons. ❝ Never seen' you smile like when you're 'round wee animals. ❞ +

He casually waves, as if to brush her compliment away. Not out of disagreement, but rather seeing it as unnecessary. ❝ Meaningful words, but folks often don't get it. ❞ Words said in reply to her first statement, dutifully pausing as she continues. He therein sighs, knowing what she's +

And so he takes another captivating bite, table manners left behind in Brigid years ago... Upon her suggestion, the entire situation dawns on him. The muffin, the offer. Smooth. ❝ I shee whatsh shappenin'- shite, shorry- ❞ He actually swallows his food now, speaking clearly. ❝ ... Bored. Lookin'

There's his beckon call. A kiss on the cheek, the promise of the only two things that make him beam. The joyful whimsy of little drakes, and more-so, a wonderful morning spent with the love of his life. ❝ *My* little ones, right. 'Bout to be *ours* if you're comin'. Metella adores ya, I'm sure +

he leaves his own out, as well. After they shake, he rests his hands in the pockets of his surcoat. Crimson locks hang over his face. ❝ Been flyin' all me life, just about. I can teach ya a thing or two. I promise it gets easier once ya can handle yourself a bit. ❞ A chuckle.

An amused smile, swiping a curtain of crimson away from his face. ❝ Right. I was definitely plannin' on pettin' baby wyverns all by lonesome. I guess if you wanna come along, you can. ❞ Playing along with her joke, every word lined with sarcasm. Still, he'd do anything to see her excited.
