[ Aro can't help it. He breaks into a smile, eager and relieved. He's not about to get in trouble for letting Iessa dive underneath the island. More than that, she won't be alone here. That's unbelievable. He's never managed to encounter another dragon while travelling with her.

In fairness, that's partly design - he was never entirely sure how another adult would react to her - but this is different. He holds up his hand, conjuring another light. ]

I do. To both questions, actually, I just...

Give me a moment.

[ He sends the second light down. This one moves to catch up with the other, and then both beckon Iessa back to the surface. A few seconds later, she breaks through the water again, flying up to shoulder height before landing hard beside his feet. She shakes out her wings, water droplets reflecting in the sun. Her scales are greenish yellow, not yet rich enough to be called bronze. She's young, though. She'll get there.

Before Aro can even speak again, she's letting out an excited trill and rushing to investigate Charis. ]

Be careful! Ah...this is Iessa. She's never met another dragon before, so if she could be careful, my blood pressure would appreciate it.

[ Iessa shoots a little look at him, before focusing back on Charis. ]
