(She grinned as he teased her about the tapestries, and shook her head lightly as though annoyed by pesky insects.) Nay, I was tending my garden and the sky called to me. (She said softly, letting him know that she was in the mood to fly. A soft sheen of sweat marked her flanks, showing that she had already been in the sky for some time, but when he came up to join her she was more than willing to spread her wings and flap them a couple of times to welcome him. She purred as he nuzzled her, her tail stroking over his as she nuzzled back, happily reveling in the secure feeling she got when beside him. His dragon form dwarfed hers, and she felt so petite and tiny beside him that it was no wonder she felt protected. She could crawl clear beneath him without crouching now that he was growing like a weed in a bed of black soil.) Aye. (She said simply, she would fly with him. She watched as he took off, marveling at the sheer strength of him, preening for a moment before letting out a soft grunt as she vaulted herself from the ledge. She wasn't as graceful as he was about taking off.. she sort of threw herself into it as though she wasn't sure she would make it. With a deep breath that turned into a happy sigh, she took chase of her friend, meaning to pay him back for nipping at her. It was well known that females were stronger fliers, they had to be for the mating ritual alone.. and it took her no time at all the overtake him. She extended her forelegs, paws curling over the bony ridges of his wings, holding onto him as he flew, her neck extending and her eyes closing as the wind blew over her. She did this a lot, letting him pull her along so that she could close her eyes and feel the earth and sky singing to her. She started to sing an old drakon song, her dragon's voice rumbling in a sweet feminine tone. She started laughing halfway through it, because the song was a baudy one, and pushed herself off of his back, gliding up and flipping in the air before sending a blast of fire in his direction in jest.. returning his earlier nipping. For a while she played, until he roared and she immediately returned to his side, brought to attention by the tone of his voice. She looked around, realizing where they were, but was struck by the wistful look on her friend's features. He missed Lallybroch.. did he miss his brother too? She wondered, frowning a little herself.) Alright.. (She said softly, agreeing, but something in her tone said that she was already planning on annoying him about this. As he turned, she grabbed the end of his tail and as he banked she let him swing her around, somersaulting in the air and coming out in a laughing swoop. She soared under him, then came up beside him, so tiny and yet so full of life and power.)
