He's in Halo? The quiet Peter absconding to that harsh and dangerous land seemed... well. Like a terrible idea, really, but given his loyalty to Zariah, who had made herself a new lair there, perhaps it wasn't all that surprising. When... is he coming back? he couldn't help but ask, a bit more cautiously, letting his concern seep into the bond.
The song was a challenge in more ways than one, but without Adam to challenge him he might have shied away from doing anything to draw Safrin's attention this year. It brought back bittersweet memories of sitting around the campfire with Deimos and Amalia the year before, when his desire to impress and exalt the goddess had been sincere. Now much of that eagerness to please had been tainted by fear and a healthy wariness, but singing was something he got to do so rarely anymore, and even this unfamiliar form and Adam's silly off-beat twittering was enough to make it more fun than fearful.
Not that the unexpected couldn't still occur - and did, soon after. Ahh... I... think so? he returned tentatively, trying to make the trilling sound again. It gave him an oddly warm feeling in his chest, relaxing him as he repeated it, the liquid notes vibrating in the air. I... didn't know I could do that, he admitted, bemused and pleased. I think it's a dragon's version of a purr, or something like it?
