Launching himself from A'dian's shoulder, Arbol cheeps again and takes off in gleeful pursuit, trailing below the green as he chatters happily at her.

For a moment, as A'lan begins to speak, A'dian tenses with a sort of horrible anxiety. He can't be saying... but the flight-effects are wearing off, and he might.... Phrases like 'ever since the flight' and 'a lot of thought' aren't very encouraging. But the next sentence is, and A'dian's anxiety begins to give way to hope as he listens. Unconciously, he relaxes a little and straightens perceptibly, out of the slightly hunched position that had been an instinctive physical anticipation of a very emotional blow. For a moment, A'lan's proposal stuns him, and he stands with his green eyes wide, directed at A'lan's face but obviously looking right through the brownrider. The color in his cheeks has faded abruptly, leaving him pale. Swallowing a few times, he struggles to vocalize an answer, and only now realizes that there's someone else who should have a vote in this big of a decision. /Vitaliath?/

The green dragon sounds downright prim when she replies. Silly clunches, they honestly think they have to ask? She doesn't address A'dian directly, though, and her next words are quite obviously directed at someone else entirely. Hroth, if you think for one minute that you might ever try to fly another green, I'll have to demonstrate to you again just how good I am at dragging you around by your tail!

Although the threat is pure Vitaliath, it hadn't been quite what A'dian had been expecting, and he can't help breaking out into spontaneous giggles. Realizing belatedly that A'lan might misconstrue the laughter, he struggles to sober, taking a few steps closer to the brownrider. "A-A'lan...." For a moment, he wonders how to say this. A simple 'yes' doesn't seem to suffice. And then, astonishing himself almost as much as anyone else, he practically pounces on A'lan, fingers digging into the taller man's shoulders as he buries his face in the curve of A'lan's neck. "Of c-course," he stammers out. "Of course!" It's somewhere between a hug and a cuddle, but with a fierceness to it that makes it more of a cling, and there are serious doubts as to when - or if - the greenrider is going to let go.

He rather likes his tail, it would never do! -- A'lan~Hroth, 20:28:14 06/16/05 Thu
- Don't worry, she likes it too. It's a very manly tail. ^_~ -- A'dian & Vitaliath, Arbol, 08:06:28 06/17/05 Fri
