Vanessa and Eugloss are mates, though calling them that may feel a bit generous. Like Melisandre and Aeron, they aren’t particularly close. Eugloss is busy all the time, and Vanessa can be a bit self-absorbed, so how they came together is anyone’s guess within the clan As Eugloss and Vanessa are both keenly aware, they fell together purely as a result of numbers. There are very few singles in the clan at any given time, and a dragon actively looking for a partner or mate has few options. Both Eugloss and Vanessa were looking for someone to spend their free nights with. Single life suits the pair just fine, but it has its down sides. And so their relationship began purely out of practicality. As it so happens, they suited each other well physically speaking, and stayed together because they found a rhythm with each other. Vanessa and Eugloss know how to push all the right buttons for the other by now and it would just be work to find a new partner, even if the opportunity arose. And so they continue, mates for all intents and purposes, but with very little apparent emotional connection. The pair does produce eggs, largely because it suits Vanessa to do so for reasons nobody can fathom, including her, and Eugloss isn’t asked to give any particular input or effort. If given the chance, he wouldn’t immediately choose to be a father, but being a standoffish one that rarely spends time with his hatchlings is close enough for him. He leaves a lot to be desired in the nurturing category, although Vanessa is not entirely a better mother than Eugloss is a father. Catherine does a lot of legwork with their hatchlings to try and produce something akin to well-adjusted dragons, with varying amounts of success.
