Subject: Alara purses her lips in thought

: I am tired of this! : Aghath informs her rider. She stretchs her neck towards the sky, and creels at it softly. Alara's brown, Daystar, quietly echos it.
She collapses against the green hide, absently biting into a fruit. : Me too! I want to fly! I know K'u is suppose to be teaching us soon... But I HATE it! I can't wait anymore! :
The dragon rumbles, deep in her throat. : I'm not waiting anymore, : she says decidedly. : Could you ask 'Star to fly? : Curious, Alara does so. Daystar is just a hatchling- he's never flown before.
The brown pushes off with powerful back legs. He beats his wings against the air, rising up a few feet before gliding quickly down to Alara's shoulder. he sends.
: I think I can do that... : she moves over to the edge of the cliff-face. With a powerful leap, the young green takes to the air. Suddenly she disappears beneath the side of the cliff.
: Aghath! : Alara calls out in dispair. Aghath replies reasurringly that she is fine. Just then, she appears again, alternatly beating her wings and falling a few feet. Soon she gets the hang of it, and hovers for a few momments. Then she lands, a bit worn out.
: Go and hunt, love, : Alara tells her green, voice filled with pride. The dragon flies into the air, and swoops on a young buck. When she is finishing gorging, she demands to fly again.
: Come with me? : she pleads.
: I don't know... I should have flying gear, like I've seen the others wear... :
The dragon snorts. : I'll keep you safe. I promise that you won't fall off me. : Feeling her rider's apprehension, she compromises. : All right then, just get on, please? I'll build my strength that way. Then we'll fly later. : Alara mounts the green, with help from Aghath's lowered head and first ridge. Clumsily, she gets in her place. Aghath begins to walk around, occasionally taking short leaps into the air.

  - **She glowers. Trying not to blow up, since it's obvious the rider had her heart in the idea, she calms down ever so slightly. "You risked yourself. What if the wind was wrong? What if Aghath's wings were too strained? What would you have done then?" She glares. "Get to the Barracks NOW." (NT) -- Resa, 14:44:59 04/28/01 Sat
    - She presses her lips together, attempting not to retort that nothing DID go wrong. Aghath would have told her before anything had happened. Or she would have felt it. With a glare, she rushes back to the Weyrling Barracks. (NT) -- Alara, 16:03:00 04/28/01 Sat
      - After her lessons, Alara and Aghath return, tired. The green curls up in the sun, with her rider tucked against her side. She nuzzles the girl affectionatly. (NT) -- Aghath and Alara, 16:19:04 04/29/01 Sun
