Rikarendo (Ri'o)

Portrait made with Portrait Works

STATS
Name: Rikarendo
Gender: Male
Age: 16 

Description: Rikarendo has a dark, chocolate complexion. He has long brown hair he keeps tied back, brown eyes, a wide nose and a pointed chin. He is on the taller side but not very muscular. He usually wears darker colours so he doesn't stick out.
Personality: Rikarendo is a quiet but considerate young man. He is very patient and steadfast, completing his tasks in order of urgency. He doesn't crumble under pressure, only grows more focused. He has a tendency to talk to himself for both encouragement and chastisement which has earned him some weird looks over the years but he really doesn't mind what others think of him.. 
Short Bio: Rikarendo was raised in a large family and learned early that he has a knack for taking care of children. So it was only natural that as an older teen he got asked to watch over the younger children a lot. Lately he's been paired up with Stemdaorin a lot for the task. Rikarendo isn't quite fond of the loud, obnoxious - slightly older and therefore in charge - young man but he's keeping in his animosity because the kids like him and he hasn't caused any trouble (yet).
Hobbies: Rikarendo enjoys walking after a stressful/busy day, he has a fondness for water (rivers, ponds). 

Pets: White Conchi (m) from Isla Weyr
Bond: Blue Kalmoroth from Sithean Weyr

HATCHING
A darkly coloured blue dragon regarded the candidates presented at the hatching with a guarded eye. It's not that he was opposed to Impressing. He just wasn't willing to show these complete strangers how he was really feeling. Maybe once he got to know them a little better. Speaking of which... Approaching Rikarendo, Kalmoroth sat down in front of him.
"It seems we'd work well together, and now you can talk to me instead of yourself."

Personality: Clever, Balanced, Reserved
Size: Average Pernese Blue

FLIGHT
Ri'o and Kalmoroth were training. The two of them were quiet personalities and often worked through the motions without even sending each other thoughts. They were focused on their movements and the exercise. But after the training session ended, Kalmoroth did nudge his rider's mind.
"Ri'o? I need to talk about something."
"Want to do it here? Or somewhere more private?"
Kalmoroth considered his choices. Ri'o wouldn't freak out in public but as his dragon he also didn't want to force his rider to act in a way he did not want.
"Maybe somewhere a bit more out of the way." he suggested.
The two of them made their way to a rather secluded spot on the beach. The weather was turning colder so less people went swimming and he fishermen would be out for a few more hours.
"So, what's this about?"
"I want to join a mating flight."
"Which one?" Ri'o asked.
"No remarks, no objections?"
"It's not like I didn't think this was going to happen." Ri'o said.
Kalmoroth quietly whispered the lady dragon he was aiming for and a little while later their name was written on the board.
