M'klern was standing next to his dragon's left foreleg long after the Hatching was over, thinking. As the sun moved, so did Creth- he shaded his beloved rider no matter where the sun moved. ut it was getting pretty late, and shadows stretched long now.

~Are you done yet, M'klern?~ the dragon asked gently, unwilling to break the trance his rider had been on since- well, since the first egg broke, he guessed.
Wha-? Oh, yeah, I guess so. It's just-
~Yes?~
I just wish that there hadn't been that accident.

Creth knew without looking that his rider was looking at the scuffled sand, and the dried blood that marked the spot. He didn't even know the two girl involved, nor did he even know the healer, but M'klern still looked at that spot, not taking note of the queen's hatching, not looking at the beaming faces of the newly Impressed. Just looking at the spot that was marked by blood, from a dragon's claws, blood was spilt.

I'm thinking, if one dragon can do that muchdamage while their still young, then what would happen if that same dragon took an intense dislike to all other humans but her Impressed?
~Some dragons like a tough girl,~ Creth ventured carefully. M'klern had found something that he hadn't, and wasn't telling him.
But, suppose such a dragon could be removed from the Weyr. Suppose she and her rider got hospitality from a Hold. What would she be able to do to others, without a queen to correct her?
~M'klern, don't think that. And that one will soon grow out of her ferocity soon enough.~
Are you sure?
~Positive~

M'klern sighed, and turned towards his dragon at last, tearing his eyes from the spot where two young women could have died. He wrapped his arms around Creth's leg, and gripped it feircely, something inside of him finally letting loose. Tears trickled down his cheeks, dripping hot and salty onto the toughened hide of his great brown dragon's leg. Creth folded his wings down, shielding M'klern from eyes that might still be poking around.
