In amongst their fellow Qian members, he stood a giant whose loosely held wings created shelter for his daughters and kept others from getting too close and crowding them. Quiet, patient, he listened to Mirage's official announcement of things he'd heard about earlier, things now almost entirely fleshed out. Of course the others had doubts and opinions, and some of it seemed near to getting argumentative. His ears tilted back, disliking the potential for even verbal violence, and a soft warning rumble vibrated in the steed's chest and into the air. Discussions were fine, so long as they kept it in check with children present.
Tilting his head down to check on his daughters, Vikram smiled to see Semira's open curiosity standing in contrast to Amaris' rather accurate impression of their mother. He wondered if his silver daughter would ever grow to have the royal reservation of her dam or her sister or Akaith or even his own dam. Or if she'd be more like some of the other dragons that resided here, forever more open with her emotions. Neither were bad, and he would enjoy watching her and her sister develop and grow.
But for now... he lifted his head to watch Mirage, waiting to see how his beloved would handle the questions raised, and adapt her proposition accordingly.
