Roivao listened to Samael's story in silence and without comment. He was a little surprised the young man had opened up about it too. Roi had already guessed that some painful memories lay in the past, but then, almost everyone had a few of those from the war. Roisk rubbed his head comfortingly against Samael's legs a few times as he talked.
When Samael was done, then Roi ventured to speak a little. "I am sorry," he said huskily. He hadn't been at that hatching, since attending dragon hatchings gave him too many sad memories. Yet even he remembered the screams of dragons and Roisks roar of fury at what he felt. It had been one of the most tragic events in the war. Roi was glad for the change of subject turning back towards whers instead.
"Wher hatchings aren't generally public," Roi mused aloud. He couldn't recall too many wher hatchings were anyone besides candidates and handlers were aloud near. Plus them being in the middle of the night usually didn't lend itself well to public occasions. "I think the queens prefer it that way." He paused, thinking to himself for a moment. "If you like," he started slowly, "I could tell you when the next one is. It would be up to the queen and her handler if you went inside, but Roisk seems to like you and he sometimes sires clutches." Not that being sire really meant much, but Roisk's opinion meant a lot to Roi at least. Roisk woofed in agreement.

Samael nodded at Roivao's solace, wishing to move past the subject as quickly as possible as well, as revisiting it was not a pleasant experience. He listened quietly to Roivao speak of wher hatchings, and at his offer of asking for permission for Samael to attend, as well as an invite when it occurred, Samael responded with a brighter tone to his voice, "Really? You'd do that for me? Thank you so much!"

Roivao smiled, almost forgetting for a moment that Samael couldn't see it. It was good to hear that tone of excitement in the younger man's voice. "It would be my pleasure," Roi confirmed sincerely. He thought it might be good in Samael did impress a wher, giving him a purpose and a true friend for his life. It might not happen, of course, but at least it opened up possibilities. "I make no promises, though," he added, a little sorry about that. Still, one never knew what draconics would do. When they wanted someone, they usually got that person no matter where they stood.

"Of course, sir," Samael responded, "I was surprised to Impress Freyr, my firelizard, as well. I know that even for actual Candidates there are no guarantees. But to even have the chance... it would be an honor!" Samael smiled freely now, visions of Impressing a wher dancing through his mind, wondering what it would be like sharing his mind with a fully sapient draconid, being a wherhandler, what they might assign him to learn to be... the possibilities felt endless.
