[ Sahar is absolutely preening under those compliments, always one to enjoy being admired, and with a tiny pleased huff of exhaled breathe she leans down to investigate the hand Dion holds out to her and the small dragon that'd summoned them both back to earth. Meanwhile, her rider is grinning widely both because of the words and the presence of the man who said them. ]
Careful, she's got an even bigger ego than I do. You might just make a friend of her forever if you point out my flattery is lacking and then she'll never leave you alone.
[ Not that he would mind; the wonder on Dion's face as he looks on is plain to see and touching. He might be teasing about Sahar (but only slightly since there's some truth in it) but what's going unsaid is this applies to him, too: that this only serves to endear Dion further to him as though the prince hasn't already won him over endlessly and in so many ways.
Mere admiration from the ground alone won't do as another idea occurs to him and he shifts in his seat. ]
Come with me. [ A nudge to Sahar's side and she's lowering herself to the ground just slightly as Claude leans over to hold a hand out to Dion to beckon him forward and to grasp with the intent of pulling him up to sit with him. ] The sky up there is a sight to behold, and I've found we can get away with a longer flight if we say it's for some mission or other.
[ Of which there is no mission at all, of course, aside from the simple pleasure of getting to spend time with Dion again after their separation with time to make up for with it. Something Claude intends to chip away at and all the more reason to now with finality looming over them. ]
