lush vibrant plant life sprouted as the hot summer days cooled off later in the night but stung around during the day as many dinosaurs were courting as the season had come around with some showing off their strength to win over others and some showing off other attributes that seemed to catch eyes.

Many this year were young and learning the aspects of what came with courting and how to do it. Sometimes it was a lot harder than it looked along with being turned down was always a possible outcome for new and inexperienced dinosaurs.

Hyperion was one of the many individuals who were new to courting and so far it wasn’t going to hit for the young Styraco bull who was on the outskirts of the herd trying to build up the confidence to approach a female by the same of Yethyne. She was a dark female who spotted gold like patterns across her body and seemed to ignore much larger bulls who tried to get in her space giving them a nice nip with her beak along with chasing them off from where she was grazing.

“You just have to walk up to her and show off your frill” he mumbled to himself before trying to check his stance and approach towards her but backed up before taking a step, he wasn’t sure how he would impress her like the other bulls.

Yethyne watched Hyperion as he was fairly new to the herd but she had her eyes on this bull as his vibrant scales caught her eye and interest she was just waiting for him to approach her which she found cute due to his nervous nature.

“Maybe some flowers would be good” he said looking at the ground picking some up in his beak, before spotting Yeythne looking at him which gave his confidence boost he needed, she was welcoming him over it seemed. Hyperion made his way over to her as she lifted her head meeting his gaze, chewing on some plants.

“Hi… I’m Hyperion, I brought you these flowers” Hyperion said shyly as he put them in front of her which she smiled when she was done chewing, taking a sniff of the scents they provided.

Relaxing Yethyne smiled and looked up at the bull and shook herself from the flies that flew around “ well how thoughtful and pretty are these, it’s nice to meet you Hyperion, my name is Yethyne” she said cheerfully looking him down and studying him “ I like your scale colors” she added walking around the bull playfully.

So far so good the two were greeting each other well and Hyperion was drowning out the sound of the much larger bulls clashing their heads to impress other females from the herd and it looked like Hyperion had no competition, it was going well and smooth for his first time.

“ Well thank you, I really am glad you like the flowers. I picked them myself” he said mumbling as Yethyne got closer to him causing him to stumble backwards a bit the closer she got to him, she was interested in him and often didn’t like how rowdy other bulls courted her before, this was different he was gentle and slow. 

“Follow me” she quickly said before heading off leaving Hyperion confused and flustered but he was quick to follow her instructions, leaving the herd and heading into the nearby woods with Yethyne in the lead.

“Where are we going, I wasn’t done courting” he mumbled to her But she was hell

Bent on taking him to a spot where it would be more quiet and romantic for courting or so she thought, courting in the herd was never her favourite and she preferred alone time away from the chaos.

The two soon came into a clearing that had soft grass and sprouted white flowers which Yethyne stopped and waited for the bull to keep up with her before she turned around “this place should do don’t you think!” She bellowed out to him excited to share the beautiful place.

Hyperion nodded and joined her the two sitting down and enjoying one another’s time as they shared stories and presented the idea of courting and being a pair for the season which Yethyne paused and thought about the proposal from the bull, he was young and not as experienced as older bulls which could cause problems but

Something about Hyperion was different and she decided to give the young bull a chance as she nodded in agreement to pair with him for the season.

Hyperion couldn’t believe it as he stood up and smiled before bowing to Yethyne and showing off his frill, as blood rushed towards his colorful scales making them more vibrant, swaying his head back and forth, he was putting on a small courtship show for her and she was very much intrigued by the small show he was giving.

After he finished Hyperion nuzzled her with his beak and smiled, their bond was sealed as they hung out a bit more in the area before deciding it was time to head back to the herd since it would have calmed down from earlier, they exited the forest as they spotted the herd with many now paired and the pairs enjoying one another’s company grazing on the grass.

“Well I think you will be a great mother” he said smiling as they walked which she nodded in agreement as she had mothered many clutches in other courting seasons, it wasn’t her first time.

“ and I think you will be a great father” she said softly nuzzling his side, it would be the first clutch he would father with her and he was looking forward to it, once at the herd they joined the others awaiting the next few days when their eggs would come and watching over the next generation would be their main goal together, now it was just time to wait.

It was time to graze after all that work.
