"Hush, Dramyrth, he knows not the truth yet," Amaris murmured over her shoulder, and whilst the growls quietened, nothing much else changed about his posture. "Nay, he is no pet but more of a companion. We are joined by a bonding of souls, unbreakable as far as I am aware. There are many of them in this land, of varying species and breeds; you might find yourself bonded someday in the future," she supplied easily, ignoring the persistent rumbles from the golden dragon upon her withers.
Alysanne arrived not long after, and the dragonmare greeted her with a warm smile and low whicker, simultaneously pleased and always in awe of the queen's ability for promptness and kindness despite the hefty weight of leadership she carried. Amaris was daughter of the DragonHeart, a longstanding queen of seemingly eons ago now, she knew well enough the duties of a leader often stole one away from everything else going on - she certainly did not envy Alysanne her rank, not even for a second.
"Well met, Alysanne," the dragonmare offered in warm tones, smiling all the while. "Iye just arrived through the Threshold, and upon hearing about the Edge, followed me home." Golden eyes turned back to him, quietly curious, probing. "Have you thought more about what rank you might be interested in?" He had proclaimed himself an insufficient warrior already, but not communicated what else he might be interested in - Amaris thought the Sneak ranks might suit him best, with his devious smile and sharp wits, he could surely do anything he put his mind to.
