A green flit rockets in, followed by Shrineth and Wessae, who runs as fast as she can to keep up with the gold. Halting, they quiet respectfully as they watch the demonstration D'tir gives, drinking in everything. Doe settles amiably on the girl's shoulder to watch. A quiet grin comes over her face as she watches T'yin and Viouth, seeing the unshakable partnership between them.

So he's going to help is he? Neat! She silently informs Shrineth.

Now introduce us, and then we better get started. Shrineth nods her forward, grinning knowingly.

"Sorry we're late, sirs. Wessae and Shrineth here." She says with a smile, burrowing eagerly into the pile of riding straps. She flexes a few sets, frowning and examining. "This is just like tack, saddle checking and all." She comments quietly to her dragon as she selects the correct measurements and lengths of hide. Fastening them onto the appropriate places, she smiles. After circling and righting them for a few minutes, loosening and tightening buckles,she stands back and crosses her arms, eyeing her work critically. "Well?"

They fit okay, not too tight. Flexing her neck left and right, the dainty young gold experiments with the strap and harness settings. Better get one of those jackets on and then up we go. She adds, watching her rider select a wherehide jacket and slip it on.

"A little heavy but...okay. I could get used to it." Doe trills and peers expectantly over her shoulder, very well behaved for the moment. Shrineth imperiously extends a foreleg, her eyes whirling excitedly. With a bit of huffing and puffing, she swings onto her partner and settles in, buckling the straps and assuring herself of their fit by swinging herself in the harness a few times.

That tickles. Shrineth informs her as she tests the harness ability. Doe warbles and flutters her wings quietly, almost knowing to stay unobtrusive. Twisting her head around, the dragon nods her approval. I think we're ready.

"Ready!" She repeats aloud, sitting proud on her Shrineth. It was what she had dreamed of, riding for Igen, riding a dragon. And now, it was coming true! A thrill of excitement flows through her and she passes a trembling hand across the smooth hide of her friend's neck.
