To his credit, Tsuyat couldn't think of another way that Vetica could have answered that anyway and just nodded his head, casting a glance down at the two dragons he was beside and half leaning on. "Yudueth's the world's best pessimist, was for turns before this and it's making things even worse. If he can continue finding the worst in everything then he'll never get better and I suppose that means she'll always find a way around him." He ran a hand down his face, not because he was upset that a green would be pulled towards that sort of thing but that he'd endured it for so long without noticing that it was affecting him just a bit too. Generally he'd been in a good enough mood to balance it but together now... they were a burning sort of fire that would turn them both into ashes if they weren't careful.

Another word? Another positive word about himself? The small bronze wasn't sure that he had many more than just that one that he'd searched so hard for, but he settled on one after a few minutes of pondering. Maybe it was because of the affection or the nuzzles of her interest, or maybe it was because deep inside him Yudueth truly wanted to believe he was more than a failure of a 'twin' to his rider's young cousin. Gentle?

That much at least was true, he'd never been much of a fighter so much as he was a lover. That was part of why he had been such a fool. He shifted a bit, as if to stretch his body even if he'd been a bit comfortable.

A snort pulled from him however and disagreement rolled off him for a moment. No, chasing again would be foolish after such an act. Fighting to protect wingmates might be all that's in my future. Of course on some level he hoped that it wouldn't be the only thing, but after breaking bone and falling so far, Yudueth wasn't keen to meet the sky for yet another chase if he could readily help it, not unless the one rising held a certain piece of him.

He'd learned.
