The soft touch of Eira's hand on his jaw stoked the flames of passion inside Ylrid to the point that her question somewhat annoyed him. Not that it wasn't warranted of course, but the timing was a bit off to him. He was full of burning passion and desire, to this point he had done well to remain patient, if he had things his way they would have done consumated this relationship on the floor of the forest. Even here and now he had shown restraint, but his patience was tested once more and once more he kept his cool.<br/><br/>"From what little I have been able to find out, yes, it is a rule within our species that your dragon mate is to be your one and only. So this act we both have desires for has consequences in the community and there are elders out there who can tell. Don't ask me how they know, that involves magics beyond comprehension for me, but they know and they also know when you have betrayed a mate."<br/><br/>Ylrid looked into the eyes of Eira, hoping for a sign of contentment with his answer. While he assumed it would bring more questions than answers in the long run he hoped for now it would quench her thirst for knowledge.
