Maz’ru :: Blue Quilath
“Mind if I leave my bag with you, Quil, so you can take it back to the weyr?” Maz’ru could almost see the twitch of annoyance at the nickname, but had had a conversation about improper names recently enough that the blue knew it would do no good to say anything. I do not mind at all Maz’ru. I hope you have an enjoyable time. Perhaps your… Mimic would like to stay as well? Maz’ru grinned, stroking his blue’s face and pointed at his nose. “One of these days you’ll realize how stilly your jealousy is.” I am not jealous. I just think it will be easier for you- “She’ll be fine, she’s small – she’ll probably end up conversing with the other firelizards about.” The blue kept silent, and Maz’ru knew that he probably wouldn’t say more and was proved wrong. Do enjoy yourself.
He intended to enjoy himself – the races had been enjoyable and he looked forward to the music and dancing, but that usually picked up when the sun went down. So he wandered down the stalls in the harbor, his little green on his shoulder, her long thin tail wrapped around his neck like a necklace. His soft green eyes kept an eye out for Siorreya – thinking she’d be enjoyable while wandering the different booths, but at the same time she was also hard to follow… sometimes he’d want to linger and look at something, but he’d found her attention span was hard to hold longer than a couple of minutes. After glancing around at the people, he started toward a stall where there were instruments. The closer he got, the more conscious he was of the life that he’d left, the voice that had left him… Perhaps he’d get the chance to sing tonight, as much as his voice had changed, it hadn’t taken the joy of it, just the satisfaction of it.
Instruments had not been his specialty, but he knew how to use a few of them enough to get by if he had to. He had no desire to pick up or touch the instruments, he wasn’t sure if he was afraid of them, or if they held too much of his past… or if he was simply realizing just how much more he thought about dragons and Thread than of music. At the beginning of his journey he had done some lyric writing and singing, especially for Sio- but as time had gone on, his focus had shifted.
He meandered out of the stall humming a song that he’d put together when they had first gone between to back in time and had lost dragons… the sound had been so haunting. Lost in thought, he scanned past a few more stalls before a firelizard egg stall caught his attention and he paused outside of it with a small smile. Boy, would Quilath be annoyed if he ended up coming back with another flit egg.
