He was enjoying the moment, and even if he missed a lot of things, he knew he couldn't miss this. It was a memory worth storing away, to be pulled out on some probably not-so-distant day when they'd be at each others throats again. A reminder that they were capable of tenderness, when they weren't getting in their own way.
He exhaled into the tangles of her mane, warming the area. He missed the heat of the sun. Stretching out in strong beams and soaking them in until he felt like he was glowing with the collected warmth. It was lucky, he supposed, that he didn't require the sun the way serpents and lizards do. Would they be dying slowly in their holes, so long away from the sun? A twinge of pity for his distant cousins flicked his gut.
Eyas adeptly pulled his thoughts back to the subject at hand, and the drake shuffled his wings to pull her closer to him. "I think you mean a girl. Only a female of your making could be so impatient," he growled teasingly, nipping lightly at the skin of her neck. Quietly, he let himself hope for a daughter. If she were anything like Eyas the world was in for it, and he couldn't wait to goad her on with gusto.
A boy would be exciting too, though, and he realized it didn't matter what gender their foal ended up being. Between he and the pegasus mare, they would be getting a hellion and a half either way.
Maybe a little late, he noticed the stiffness returning to her muscles. Had they touched on something uncomfortable? He was about to ask, but she had moved on already. He couldn't think how to broach the mystery subject, anyway. Instead, he lifted his head to exhale another plume of flame, thoughtful.
"'Little Devil', I dunno. Think that might be too on the nose?" He asked, a smirk in his voice. "Something along those lines, though. "Firecracker, Hellbeast, Thrasher, Brash, Crash, Smash, uh..." He trailed off, running out of ideas. He hadn't been given a whole lot of prep time, after all.
