((OK, a short one now...))

Lilith, despite her being a queen, the largest of the dragon colours, was quite small. She had never been all that much bigger than any of the bronze mates she had had, though the lines of her body were surprisingly sleek. Her hide was a deep, rich gold, her wings translucent, like corn-gold silk stretched over frames of steel. Her eyes were in proportion to her head, as her body was perfect in all it�s dimensions, and it had been said that never a more beautiful dragon had graced Pern�s skies.
Now, in her old age, just past her prime, she had barely changed. Her hide had the same lustre, if it was a little darker, and her muzzle had not greyed with age as many others did. You could see her age, though, see it in her wingbeat, in her walk, but she still flew with a dignified grace that fit her perfectly. The sun was, at that moment, reflecting from her hide and wings, gleaming as they were with oil recently put on. Rinali sat down heavily on a rock in the shade, smiling and wiping her wrinkled brow. �I�m getting too old for this.� She remarked.
You should rest.
The woman sighed. �I suppose I should. But it�s worth every minute getting you to look beautiful.�
Thank you. I enjoy it.
Rinali smiled wryly. I�m sure you do. Wait a minute, have I been speaking aloud?
Lilith�s eyes whirled the affirmative. Yes. Do not worry. Everyone here speaks through the mind, but you have never done that.
I know. It�s hard to get used to. Oh well. At least I�m not talking to myself, eh?
True. The dragon stretched out her wings, sighing with pleasure. You are talking to me, and you are very good at oiling me.
Rinali reached out a hand to rub the golden eye ridge, and Lilith turned loving, opalescent eyes on her rider. �Thank you, sweet.�
Do not worry. It is easy to be nice to you, rider mine. The queen�s great eyes whirled a loving blue.
Good. And it�s easy to love you. You�re my dragon.
I am. But you are my human!
