She�s not coming towards me. She�ll just look at me or push me over or something and go off and find her real rider� Atiyana�s mind was a frantic whirl of thoughts, her large brown eyes fixed on the green hatchling making her arrogant way over. It wasn�t Ati�s way to worry about things that hadn�t happened yet � anyone could have told you that � but this was such an important thing. Who could blame her for trying not to get her hopes up to high? She had seen candidates be appraised by a dragon, only to be rejected and left bruised and upset. Standing stock still as the green looked her over with wide, red-whirling eyes, Atiyana swallowed nervously. Now she knew what a wherry felt just as a dragon is about to pounce on it.

Atiyana! An ecstatic voice yelled into her head. Atiyana! I am Loriath, and I am TEN THOUSAND times better than her! The green appeared to be waiting for some kind of agreement, the toss of her head filled with distain. But Atiyana�s response was to let out the breath she didn�t even know she had been holding, and smile slowly.

Food? Loriath asked, making the word more of a command than anything else. Finally she moved forward, butting her head into Atiyana�s hand. I know you weren�t expecting me, but that�s no excuse to ignore me. The green�s tone was plaintive.

�I wasn�t!� Finally Atiyana responded, her hand caressing the green head and stroking the eye ridges. �I can�t ignore you! Yes, Loriath, let�s get some food.� With her hand around the green�s neck, Atiyana led her from the Hatching Sands, waving delightedly up at her father, who was the picture of pride.
