Mal giggled more. "I envy you. It must be great having them with you all the time."

"It's not that great, to be honest. When they put their minds to it, the younger ones can be pests." She had a joking edge to her voice. Jaya snorted, and looked at the younger fire lizards with amusement. Glace snorted angrily, and turned her head away, while Uen gave a small chirp, as if an apology, before turning and chittering excitedly into Mal's ear.

"Ah, well. Dragons can be pains when they are young... and older.... and old...." Mal glared at Leath, still submerged in the lake.

"So I see." Nira noted, laughing again. Marvanth joined in her raspy purr-rumbled, lidding a few of her lids against the glare of the rising sun.

"And Marvanth... You're so lucky. Don't get me wrong, I love Leath, but she is just so.... Ugh.... Sometimes." She explained, watching as the green appeared and came towards shore to be cleaned.

How Marvanth lucky? The mirror asked, tilting her head to one side. Her scales made a light rustle as Ren snuggled closer, curling up as best he could.
Nira smiled, sat sat herself down on the grass o place a hand on Marvanth's large head.

"Well.... Having Nira as your... Uh... Bonded? Yes. Just you two. Your friendship and bond is very inspiring."
Leath pulled herself into the shallower waters, waiting for her bath.

Marvanth arched her neck back slightly, sort of surprised. We heart friends, like Leath and Mal.
Nira waved a hand at Leath in greeting, being able to finaly see her now. Uen abandoned his chitters at Mal to fly over and settle on Leath's dripping head, haging over one of her eye ridges to look into the faucets of her eyes.

Mal trudged over to Leath, her scrubbing brush in hand. "You wanna help? She doesn't squirm too bad, so you won't get that wet.... Sort of...." She picked up a handfull of sand and started scrubbing the dragon's hide with it.
Leath crooned in pleasure, enjoying the sand against her itchy hide.

Nira shrugged and stood, grabbing up some sand as she went to work on Leath's other side. It always amazed her that a dragons hide could be so soft yet tough, different and yet akin to the fire lizards from which they were created.
"That better?" She asked Leath, working at a flakey spot.
Marvanth watched with detatched interest, hating anything to do with so much water. She did, however, eye the sand.

Leath sighed in delight, happy for so much attention.
Mal scrubbed harder at a particularly hard patch, her expression grim. She was tired of this ritual... Why couldn't dragons just go without baths?

Nira smiled, scrubbing harder and making her way down the greens flank, pausing to tickle under the wing joint as she went.
Marvanth purr-rumbled to cheer the rider, sensing her depressing emotions. She turned her head to look at Ren, imagining him to be a child for a moment.

Leath snorted and wiggled her wing, squirming under the hands that cleaned her.
"Leath, stop it! I can't get your- AH!" The wing knocked into Mal, sending her under water. When she surfaced, she was sputtering and furious.

Nira dipped her head and stepped away from Leath, dropping her hands. "Sorry." She murmered. Marvanth pur-rumbled more loudly, asserting herself into Nira's mind to calm her and hold her up. She was still very shaken, despite her outward appearance. Uen cheeped happily as he swung with Leath's head.

Mal made a noise like a growl and climbed to her feet. "You shouldn't apologize... Leath should. I told her not to move!" She snapped, annoyed.
Leath nuzzled her rider, eyes whirling with sad grays. I am sorry, Mine.
