[ The feed starts out a little dark, honestly. But one can definitely hear the heavy breathing of some sort of creature. ]

Come on, girl, you have to let me out sometime.

[ Light suddenly shines through and one can see Claude's hand pushing up a large wing and exposing the vast expanse of white scale. ]

Apparently she thinks that I also need to stay in her nest. You'd think we've gone back in time where she had just been a baby and me a kid spending nights in the aery together. That's not what this is about though.

[ The camera pans to Khalid, who gives a little wave before pointing back to his wyvern. A white wyvern in a nest, wrapped around two eggs. Claude is still holding a wing up so that he can catch sight of his best friend. The wyvern just releases a little groan and a huff. ]

She had them just the other day. Chances are if you don't see me for a while it's because of these little guys. I'd hunt down anyone who cursed me with this luck, but how can I be upset seeing at how pleased she is? What a proud mother.

You did know what the festival was celebrating before you attended, right?

[ Because Claude has given her the impression that he's very well informed about all sorts of things.

She smiles fondly. ] The two of you are very close, I see.

[deepstar]

I did. It's more like I didn't think she'd also want to join in, considering the differences between this world and mine.

[ That's all that it is. A miscalculation that does happen to even the most strategic. But it's not like it's a bad thing. Not like he's treating it like a mistake. Just something to add to his list of things to look after. ]

We are close, yeah. I used to sleep with her egg as a kid until my parents or Nader would find me and kick me out.

[ Zelda laughs. ] She may not have intended to at the start, but, well, the atmosphere gets rather difficult to resist after awhile.

[ Spoken from experience... ]

Awww! How precious! You'd have to have a heart of stone to break up something so adorable.

[deepstar]

"Difficult to resist," you say?

[ Definitely subtly asking if she is talking from experience. Seems like an interesting way to say that Azita was just going to falter eventually!

But he laughs. ]

No, it wasn't heartless. Nights can get really cold in the desert and an aery is no place for a kid to sleep.

[multidisciplinary]

[ An emphatic nod. ] Yes, because of the pheromones in the air. They aren't perceptible to most people, only those of draconic or reptilian races. It is much like any other need-- when you are hungry, your body tells you to eat; when you are tired, your body tells you to sleep. Resisting just makes you hungrier or sleepier.

[ No, she hasn't caught onto Claude's subtle ask, but she'll happily prattle on anyway. ]

You grew up in the desert? [ Her eyes light up with obvious intrigue. ] I spent a lot of time there myself when I was a girl. The chief of the Gerudo tribe was a close friend of my mother's, and even after my mother died, Urbosa was there for me while I was growing up. I paid her many a visit when I needed time away from my father.

[deepstar]

[ Honestly it's fine if she doesn't catch onto what he's saying. Khalid laughs all the same. ]

That's a very technical explanation of why you, personally, would know it's difficult to resist. Especially if, you know, such things are only to be able to be perceived by reptiles or other animals.

[ A wink. Maybe she'll get what he's implying now. Doesn't matter now - he's moving on! ]

Almyra is a pretty big country. I live in the capitol, in the middle of the desert. You have the plains up north and then the more coastal beaches and port cities down south. It's not exactly the most hospitable of climates, so I'm a little surprised you'd choose that for your "get away from home" location.
