Her words were sweet enough, but the tone behind them were what made his breath hitch in his throat, just a little. It was clear not only how deeply she believed he could find a home like hers, but how much she wanted him to. How much she wanted him to have what she had. It was the type of kindness he'd come to expect from Winter, but his expectations never made hearing it any less touching. "So far," he managed, "my home has been with... the group. All of us, you included." And he smiled as he imagined all of them carving out a home here, in the crook of a Dragon's tail perhaps, like Zelly was coming to enjoy. He watched her sliding down Winter's eldest brother's tail with her youngest. The elder Dragon was trying to pretend he wasn't enjoying himself, but it was obvious from this perspective that his tail was getting raised at the right times to make the slide more exciting.
"She is. And I thought you were big!" he exclaimed, remembering how startled he'd been to see a large silver Dragon landing right next to him in Suzail.
He followed her easily, happy to tag along as they sat on a sun-warmed rock. "The foods, of course." He smiled and gave her a playful nudge, a playful squeeze, the joke of her eating habits nonetheless endearing to him. "And? What did you think, having seen a great deal of it now?"
His breath caught a little as he waited for her answer.
