In reply to: D'tir and Kuvoth 's message, "*The Brownrider nods*" on 15:15:39 01/22/02 Tue

Kalya ran in, nodding sharply when she heard the Weyrlingmaster's comment on the return to training, brimming with joy. "C'mon Lay!" she called, slinging the 'straps over Lay, and, with the ease of some practice, slipped them on and fastened them. Good? she asked. Layath nodded, and Kalya hoisted herself onto the gold's back.

Her focus narrowed to the area in front of her, the runway, and Layath beneath her.
Ready, dearest? she asked.
Ready, Layath affirmed, her voice strong. Kalya quickly fastened the straps of her jacket and settled comfortably on Layath's back.
Let's fly.
With a jolt, Layath was bolting off, flapping her wings strongly and surely. Kalya nearly fumbled her her balance, but quickly managed to recover, for it was quite different from riding a runnerbeast.

And then...Layath was in the air. Time froze, and Kalya was aware of that blissful moment with nothing to hold her down, flying on Layath as dragonriders were meant to fly...it was magical. Layath bugled her triumph to all, and Kalya let go and laughed.
Lya, we are flying! Like we were meant to! Layath shouted jubilantly.
Kalya felt her heart jump to her throat in agreement, and Layath didn't need to hear her mind-voice to understand.

All too soon, Kalya felt Layath's feet hit the ground, talons clicking softly as Layath started [not all that gracefully] into a landing, ending with more precision, and Kalya smiled, face flushed, at D'tir and Kuvoth.
"Can we do that again soon?" she asked eagerly.
