[Having Rocket visit with her only makes her day better, and she can't help but feel enormous thankfulness to him for not giving up immediately. It says a great deal for him to weather these bratty dragon kids in order to see her, and it definitely doesn't go without notice.
She stops when he speaks, already hearing that edge that doesn't seem to wane in his voice, and takes steps back in order to turn and look at him. The dragon holding onto her has a sprained wing, which is why she's not complaining about his preference for staying on her back. She had been on her way to take him back to the Nursery, and would come gather the healthier bunch afterward. He protests when she moves, and slinks down her back, as if he can't get comfortable, but drapes again like a scaly blanket, and refuses to leave her.
She does not look pleased with Rocket's little fan at all, but for a part of a moment, it seems as if she'll do nothing. But this is the first time the young dragon has caught what he was after, and babies rarely know how hard is too hard in the beginning. Diplomatic as she is, she's willing with it, as with anyone else, to give it the chance to learn before she has to get drastic.
Instead of directly interfering, she squares her eyes on Rocket's and produces a short whine. It means: he's got to yelp, or whine, or cry out somehow, so they baby gets the idea. Better, even, if he makes it sound worse than it is.]
