Rielsath was a dragon of few words at the moment, weaving a cloak of light and warmth to wrap her rider's mind. Lujayn was fed up with talking, anyhow. She only wanted to write. Her pen scratched out spiky words, neither printed nor in flowing script, meandering across the page as haphazardly as her thoughts: unable to follow a straight line for more than a few moments. Maybe it was a letter, a journal, or just something to occupy both the mind and hands.

She could feel her dragon fiercely, the gold providing all kinds of satisfying scenarios from what she would have done, somehow separate from the protective cocoon of support. Screaming. Hitting. Making him sorry however she could.

« He hurt you, » The single-mindedness was reassuring. « Don't let him. »

Single-mindedness was for dragons, at least in matters of the heart, and Lujayn wasn't so convinced X'lar had all the blame on his shoulders. I could have done things differently, It wasn't the first time she had wondered. How much of it was my fault? She felt young for the first time in turns, trying to sort out something too complex, too fragile for her clumsy hands. She felt restless.

« None of it. » The provided light was blinding, obscuring the outside world. If there was a threat to her Lujayn, Rielsath would make sure it never got close. A chill swept through Rielsath's light, making the goldrider wonder if her dragon's attention was caught elsewhere, but the warmth soon returned, softer and sleepier. Dimmer. « Stay home. »

Lujayn did.
