Zeno

Uh-oh, looks like this big listener wandered a little too far from his home lair (berrybbtr, 567436), and now he's off to see the world! If you ever feel the urge to exalt, he'd really appreciate it if you could just return him home instead, or to the 'Dragons Off to See the World' thread. If you don't want another traveler in return, you can also drop him off at the Traveling Dragon Rest Hub! Zeno is part of berrybbtr's 100 hatchling challenge found here.

Quiet and steady, Zeno is a dragon prone to long contemplative silences. Though he's usually only trying to decide what he's going to throw together for dinner. He's far from an idiot, however; he listens to other dragons' griefs and complaints with an understanding smile, and they him leave feeling better, even if he doesn't say anything in reply.



By the time he and Hume reached the Sunbeam Lanternhouse, his brother was beginning to fume: they'd had no adventures worth noting, they had no stories to share, this whole traveling thing was beginning to look like a total failure!

Zeno didn't mind that their journeys had been uneventful so far and settled in comfortably among the other travelers at the inn to hear their stories. Good company meant more to him than grand adventure.

His brother didn't agree and stormed off.

So Zeno whiled away his time at the Lanternhouse doing exactly as he pleased: simply listening. Thus he became a target for Verity's vitriol, for no one else seemed to want to listen to her. It became obvious to Zeno that she needed to leave her home lair, so he suggested that she come with him to his own.


Zeno and Verity made their way to the Clan of Cloudsplit and were welcomed back enthusiastically. He went and showed Verity around the Canyon, pointing out this or that, it felt like the first time in awhile he'd spoken so much.

Later, Zeno went to see his mother, Aesara. They had some tea and caught up about what'd been going on in the clan. She told him all about his newest brothers and sisters, and about all the new dragons she'd been meeting.

While it was nice to be back home and see everyone again, he just knew everyone too well. There weren't any fun things to do or interesting stories to hear. So, saying goodbye to his family and friends, he set out into the world again
