train them.”
Nesryn blinked, right along with Dorian.

“These are young riders,” Sartaq said with
a smile. “Only two dozen.” He turned to
Dorian. “But they begged me to ask you if it
would be permissible for them to stay when
we leave.”
Dorian considered. “I don’t see why they
couldn’t.” Something sparked in his eyes, an
idea formed and then set aside. “I would be
honored, actually.”
“Just don’t let them bring the wyverns
home,” Hasar groused. “I never want to see
another wyvern for as long as I live.”
Kashin patted her on the head. Hasar
snapped her teeth at him.
Nesryn chuckled, but her smile faded as
