[ bars and taverns weren’t too different in the underground— you don’t find as much gossip as you do around the food stalls, but the overall energy suffices in learning about monster tussles and bets on rivalries for upcoming arena face offs. a primal way to earn a bond’s hand, and witches hardly need protecting, but such was culture.
eren has ordered himself a towering mug of the underground’s artesian brew, made of dimly glowing algae with a slight ooze to the liquid when sloshed around its container. eren can’t say he didn’t scent the other dragon after he’d walk in, picking out a familiar taste amidst strangers was like pointing out red in a sea of grey. he doesn’t turn, though, doesn’t make to say anything to him until he’s actually approached and sat next to.
the wyvern’s talons drum, click really, against his mug after being greeted without lifting his gaze. after three or so dragging moments, eye contact is finally made: neutrality and a snort to bring his mug to his lips. maybe it was hey that he said in turn, bubbling against a gulp of brew, but now it just seems like a grunt. acknowledging but not vibrant about it.
all he can still see was what he saw last, making smoother conversation on eren’s part alone effortful. ]
