There's secrets in this life that I can't hide...

~Lilith says that Rinali does not want you to worry.! Mesatith said, excited to flame again.
A'ron gave a small smile. "Good to see you, Rinali. It's my pleasure."
He gave a small sigh, and smiled at her last comment. "Mesatith loves to flame." he whispered, remembering her first flame. It really hadn't been the longest ago. He'd impressed at the last clutch, after all.

Standing up straigter, A'ron looked around. Wincing mentally, he took note that most of these weyrlings were his age. Some older. However, he would be there teacher for the moment.
"As Rinali has already said," he started, looking around to make sure he had everyone's attention. "You must have your dragon think of their second stomach. I cannot stress to you how important this is. Now, keep in mind that you will not want to stand anywhere near the mouth of a dragon while practicing flaming. I know that this sounds stupid, but many a weyrling have been injured by just plain not trying to get out of the way. Dragonetes cannot rightly tell exactly when they will flame, and are not practiced in it, so you must be careful. It is much more dangerous than flying. Anyway, I'm guessing you'd like to see it happen now?"
he looked up at Mesatith, who gave a small rumble.
Remember, love. Don't do anything fancy. Just a small flame.
~I know...~ she said, rearranging herself into a position comfortable for flaming.
"Alright, here we go."
A'ron picked up a peice of firestone, and carefully banged it into the right size. Mesatith wasn't the biggest of greens, and still required it to be slightly broken. So, he made sure the candidates saw how to break it.
"Now, Mesatith..." he said, and the green nodded, and took the firestone.
"Thinking of your second stomach?" He asked.
~Of course. I don't want to eat a rock, now do I?~ she said, teasingly, letting all the weyrlings hear. A'ron turned slightly scarlet.
Oh shut it, love. he told her affectionatly.
"Anyway, it will take a second before she will flame. It will take different amounts of time for your dragonets, depending on certain factors that cannot be controled. However, they should get a steady release time as they grow used to it. And she should flame in about five seconds..."
And, in about this time, Mesatith moved her neck away from the candidates to make sure none were harmed, and let out a blast of flame. It was semi-short, though you could somewhat tell she didn't want it too short.
"Good job, love." he said, patting her on the emerald foreleg.
~As always.~ she said, walking over to the ash pile and letting the bit of ash that clogged her throat out.
"Now, you allow your dragon to get rid of the ash in his or her throat. It's very scratchy, and uncomfortable for the dragon. Now," he gave a small smile. "I guess it's your turns."
he walked out of the way, towards Rinali. Mesatith moved as well.
"How was that? Think they'll live?" he asked the goldrider, heaving a sigh.
