A brown snout poked over the edge of the bed warily as Ujanforth eyed the fire lizard hatchling suspiciously. The esling snorted. Where'd it come from, R'shi?
R'shi sighed and rolled his eyes. "Must be one of Quey and Koet's kids that followed them home." He explained as he carried a plate of meat over to where the hatchling sat creeling on his bed. Stretching out with one hand, he held a strip of meat out for the hatchling.
The steel-grey flitter sniffed the meat warily as Koet crooned reassuringly from R'shi's shoulder. Almost reluctantly, the grey fire lizard ate the meat-and promptly gulped down the rest of the plateful, creeling for more.
R'shi rolled his eyes again as he stood up. Quey appeared from between, clutching a still flopping fish in his foreclaws. The grey hatchling crooned as he snatched at the meat, and quickly devoured the fish.
Ujanforth's eyes whirled. What're you gonna name him, R'shi? The esling dragon asked his rider.
R'shi cocked his head thoughtfully before answering. "How about...Ferrium?"
Ujanforth's eyes whirled faster. Good name. He decided, matter-of-factly as R'shi grinned. Mischeivously, the brown dragon butted his head against his rider's thigh. However, now it's time for you to feed me!
R'shi laughed, leaving the grey flitter named Ferrium alone to curl up to sleep on his bed as he was dragged away by an anxious Ujanforth.
