Massath notes Scarth's little stunt and her eyes gleam with a flash of appreciation, but she's not going to waste time admiring one little trick. It's the blue's job to impress her, not the other way around. All her attention is soon devoted to her hazardous race along the canopy, and for a moment she loses track of Scarth's position in relation to her own. Then she hears his wings behind him, and a bellow of rage escapes her as she realizes how close he's managed to get. With a furious twist of her wings, the green hurls herself skyward again, pinions bearing her straight up and away from the blue. That sharp ninty-degree turn, from horizontal to vertical, should gain her a few seconds of lead time - and in a flight, a few seconds is all she needs to keep the advantage for a little while longer. Dragonlengths above the blue, safe for the moment, Massath switches abruptly from a vertical ascent to a dizzyingly fast upwards corkscrew, lessening the strain on her wings while ascending almost as swiftly as before. The air begins to thin out, but she only breathes deeper and beats her wings faster to compensate, not even realizing that she is compensating. In the throes of flight-lust, the green doesn't even notice the dropping oxygen level. Thousands of feet above the ground, she finally levels out, the power flowing through her keeping her wings beating without letting her feel the strain. Poor Scarth won't have that advantage, but Massath glances down at him with a devilish look in his eyes. Will he be strong enough to follow her up here anyway, and will that turn out to be a wise or a foolish decision? He may be her only pursuer, but the big green still won't take him if he turns out to be a weakling.

A smirk flashes across R'ven's face as he hears S'peer growling, and the urge rises to answer with a snarl of his own. But the desire is his dragon's, not his own, and the greenrider can only bare his teeth in something between a teasing grin and a threat, his traitorous voice still unable to express what is trying to rise from deep in his chest. The last barriers between R'ven and Massath are falling quickly, rider becoming dragon, and it isn't S'peer that R'ven's glazed grey eyes are fixed on, even if it may appear that way to an outside observer. It's Scarth that R'ven is looking at - and judging.

((As an irrelevant side-note, R'ven's eyes are grey, not green, and I don't know how I messed that up last time. Sorry if this is short; there's only so many tricks you can use in a flight, and I'm trying not to repeat myself too obviously, but at this point it's getting harder.))

        She can be a bit heavy on the angst, but in small doses, she's great to rock to. And a very good ANGRY sound, rather than whiny. -- Massath & R'ven, 21:20:20 09/08/05 Thu
