Subject: She sighs, quite stuck. "I will NOT be grounded!" she says to herself
In reply to: Resa and Anraeth 's message, "Training to FLY!" on 11:59:09 04/28/01 Sat

She snags a set of riding gear, diligently checking the harness. Seeing nothing awry, she follows Resa's direction, she fits the harness on Aghath. Trying to memorize all the information on sewing and mending, she turns to her green for help. : Can you get all this until I have time to write it down> : she asks.
: Certaintly, rider, : Aghath responds.

Alara takes the harness off and on, as instructed, until it seems she could do it in the dark. Then she backs away. Aghath leaps into the air, flying over her rider.
: I got this stuff, : Alara tells the green during the safety lecture. : Now I mount... : After snapping her goggles on, she does so, doing it correctly on the second try. After a few more times, Aghath begins to walk around. With the ordered "Launch!" the green leans back and back-wings, rising into the air. Alara catches her breath with the thrill of flying. : Free! : she yells, thrilled. Then adds, : Well, almost. :

Aghath executes the few prescribed maneuvers, practicing until they are perfect. After a bit, Aghath lands, not wanting to, but tired. : I will not be grounded! : she says, echoing her rider's earlier thoughts. : Did we do everything right? :

**Resa watches the pair critically. She narrows her eyes, but can fault nothing about them. "Better stay that way," she mutters.** (NT) -- Resa, 16:23:25 04/28/01 Sat
- She glances over at her teacher. "Did we do everything right?" she asks. : In which case we can learn something else with someone else now. I get the feeling that she does not like us, Alara. : Aghath tells her rider. : Besides, that was too simple... Even if I did enjoy the flight. : (NT) -- Alara and Aghath, 17:39:00 04/28/01 Sat
  - **She nods. "Go on and learn betweening." She manages not to grin at the resentful looks sent her way. Well, if them hating her kept them on their toes, so be it.** (NT) -- Resa, 21:49:44 04/28/01 Sat
    - *Taina walks over with her blue Cryth* Chill guys! Gosh there is nothing to get upset about! Resa did I do this right? (NT) -- Cryth and Taina, 09:54:37 04/29/01 Sun
      - **She turns to face the young rider. "Yeah, you did fine." She manages not to glare at such a young girl scolding Resa, of all people, not to mention she's Wingsecond.** (NT) -- Resa, 12:45:27 04/29/01 Sun
        *She smiles at Resa* Okay so it is right. ~Cryth~ Resa you are bragging about your postion and that isn't very nice. ~Taina~ Cryth don't be so rude. (NT) -- Taina and Cryth, 12:26:43 05/01/01 Tue
        **Anraeth lets out an indignant bellow, her eyes changing from a sleepy blue-violet to an angry red. Resa raises one hand to calm her dragon. "I don't suggest you presume any more, weyrling. I said nothing of my position, let alone bragged about it." Anraeth rumbles in her throat, shifting about angrily. Resa manages, somehow {maybe those stress classes she's taking are helping?} to contain any very mean words she could have said -all true.** (NT) -- Resa and Anraeth, 18:07:25 05/01/01 Tue
        The younger green's head snaps up in response to Anraeth's bellow. As she had been practicing breathing fire, a ringlet of flame curls into the air. Startled, her riderr glances over. "What the hell happened?" she asks. (NT) -- Alara and Aghath, 21:03:28 05/01/01 Tue
        ((OOC: Resa it is true. You have send "Such a young girl scolding her not to mention I'm wingsecond. I do not mean to be rude but that isn't nice to say things like that.)) (NT) -- Taina, 13:37:51 05/02/01 Wed
