(He brought both of his front paws to sit on Tiernans shoulder, laying his wedge shaped head atop them to rest. The soft swaying motion of Tiernan's walk had him drifting in an out of consciousness. He had been joined with Tiernan so many times in the previous year that it was a familiar thing to him, and yet this time was different than all the other times. Since they had become free of the charm that had held them hostage together, he didn't feel as connected to Tiernan. Sure, he had joined with the lad, but he was still somehow seperate. There was a lot less of a physical bond than before. He was much less aware of the fact that Tiernan was hungry than he would have been before.. but he had a feeling that was because neither man had - as yet - opened themselves fully to the bond as they would have done naturally before. Both of them were holding back some private part of themselves that they feared too private for this most intimate of acts. It was odd to Dane, that he felt the need to keep his mated life with Bree completely tucked away inside himself, to not allow Tiernan full access to himself, because.. well.. now it felt odd to him.) (He followed Durgan into the great hall and took the proffered seat without so much as a sound escaping him. He was tired and hungry and a little annoyed that Dane was crouching on his shoulder but now allowing him inside his thick head. They could not fully bond until Dane stopped blocking him. That nearly made him smile, because he was holding back as well and had no idea why. He sorely missed the open relationship they had had before.. it had made him bitter and reserved since Dane had left.. and, well, he had sort of hoped that it would be the same between them now. He didn't realize it, but he was stroking Dane's tail against his collar, his gaze wandering over Durgan - who looked so much like his brother that it was startling. I realize she is young, but I willna stand for her snapping at anyone around Kerri. She isna used to being around dragons, and honestly I dinna want her to think bad of yer kind. He had always sort of thought that he would be around Dane for the rest of his life, since they'd been tied together.. and had become so used to the creatures that he was more than happy to surround himself with them. He smiled as Dane started to purr audibly, the little dragon's eyes closing. He felt Dane's happiness rolling through his body as Durgan told him that the eggs were alright, and that.. well, it fascinated him. Whelps! I.. didna ken she was pregnant when we depareted from Caithness.. Now he was really glad that he had Kerri ride the female instead of himself, his weight would have taxed her even more. He leaned back in his chair and regarded Durgan as the male spoke over their mental connection.) Aye, well, we are settled together I think.. (He liked that Durgan called Kerri his mate.. it was a nice sounding word to him, better than wife.. as one could get married without love, but to be a mate was something different. To him it implied that they were intended to be together, by some higher power.) (He flicked his tail back and forth in catlike satiation, red eyes locked on his brother with that same smirklike expression - as though he had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It felt so nice to be back with Tiernan, his energy flowing stronger with each breath, replenishing that part of his soul that had become so weak. He was so glad to hear that Bree was alright that he allowed himself to relax further, purring gently as Tier petted his tail.)
