The Rider had avoided coming to any harm and, although it had given up on its discussion with the "Ice Lord", it seemed to have lost none of its confidence. Haranling didn't much like the sound of "Director of Experimental Research", but maybe it was just a name. He'd heard the rumours, of course (far too many rumours lately, in his opinion!); but this Rider seemed so amiable, and its half-salute so ridiculous, that Haranling couldn't help but feel that yes, it was just a title. Rumours were always blown out of proportion, anyway.
Best looking creature of the realm? Haranling's grin broadened as he looked at the fleshy mortal, standing next to him in that bizarre garb. It was adorned in a lot of Shiny Objects, which he supposed was a point in its favour- anyone who was that sparkly certainly had a good eye for aesthetics! But the creature itself was...well, severely deluded. Haranling had seen dragons with lustrous fur like spun gold and scales which shimmered and swirled like thousands of little bubbles. This was...a two-legged fleshy...tree, with a yellow-gold canopy. Perfectly fine in its way, but plain as could be when compared with the island's other denizens.
Of course, Haranling was much too polite to say this aloud! That would be rude, and he didn't want to offend or upset the creature, which had been nothing but civil towards him! And which was also, admittedly, allied with one of the most intimidating individuals known to dragonkind...
"A pleasure to meet you, Tabae Frostquill!" the Ice drake chirped brightly, with a twitch of his overly long whiskers. "I know a fair few creatures who would take for themselves the title of 'best-looking', but I'm sure you could outshine them all if you so desired."
He flicked his ears and swished his tail, hoping for a reaction of some kind from his companions. Because it's shiny! I mean, some dragons are shiny too but...bah, they'll get it.
Notes: I couldn't think of a better joke and neither could he oh dear lord Haranling...please forgive him.
Literally just realised that the mount was the shiny one???!!! If Tabae is not shiny at all, please let me know and I will alter this in the morn. xD
