Unfortunately, Amvarean wouldn't be an enormous amount of help - her knowledge was mostly anecdotal, but she would know that it varied immensely among the colors - silvers were usually negotiated for at least a decade, for the mutual benefit of both parties, golds tended to embrace romantic affection above all other concerns, copper's tended to do whatever would annoy the most people in the process, and so on - every dragon was different.<br/><br/>Talia took ruthless advantage of the telepathic bond, occasionally sending a stray, risque thought his way, especially if it was likely to fluster him - never during a truly important moment, but sometimes mid-sentence, with an amused look on her face.<br/><br/>Korima seemed to be more interested in the physical side of things than the relationship; she was generally an overly-affectionate person, so that wasn't surprising. Anke and Sak'bas seemed to be the most hesitant and interested in making more formal courtship advances, and seemed more inclined to take things slow - Anke was almost as bad about being flustered as Tina was, though the latter seemed to have grown into her position, at least somewhat.<br/><br/>As for the horde of suitors, a vast majority were turned away, once he made the requirements public. Some tried, and failed, while a handful actually did succeed, though most didn't seem to draw much attention... though one candidate, who not only applied, but passed the test, would catch his attention. A young, beautiful half-elven woman, who was introduced as... Nyrissa.
