ERYX
One thing that he was still not entirely used to was the idea that being attracted to someone other the opposite was not looked down on or criminalized here. Eryx was attracted to men, he had learned that about himself pretty early on but had kept it a secret for a long time. He managed a couple of secret affairs as he got older but it was when he was discovered that his own parents had cast him out, literally into another world, because they were so ashamed and infuriated with him for just being who he was.
So Nathaniel's wink and the way he had so easily checked him out was all new to Eryx. He was used to more subtleties when it came to same sex attraction. He wondered if he'd ever get used to it or if his years of burying it would forever effect him.
Eryx automatically ducked his head as the dragon swooped closer to him and laughed as he felt the chilled air blown down on him. He reached up to feel the small, hard ice crystals on his hair and watched as she flew back up into the air. "Nice to meet you too," he said to the dragon with a grin. Lyra collided with the other dragon in the air in a playful tackle.
His attention turned back to the gorgeous man in front of him. "Actually no, I was just taking a walk to enjoy the day. I have a shift tonight and probably should be sleeping but who could resist such a perfect day?"
