-Before-
*K'ndelek watches from his spot as T'run dissappears into the air. He blinks and does a double-take. 'What in the Sharding--' ~They went between~ 'Oh, yeah, silly me.' ~Wanna try?~ 'Oh why not' He move Kilia gently aside with a muted apology. He spots Dimath and runs over, leaping onto the offered foreclaw and onto his neckridge. He grips the riding straps and is shocked to see his hand trimbling. In fact, his mind goes numb for a second of the thought of between. ~Get a hold on yourself, K'ndelek! This isn't the time.~ 'Yeah...okay' He forces the thought out of his mind with a shiver. He quickly brings up the picture of the bowl, smiling slightly. Everyone always said he had good memory. He clears out the shadows as T'run said and ends up with a near-perfect picture. He sends it to Dimath, who had already launched.* Wait a minute, Dimath! You didn't warn me! *The brown chuckles slightly in a dragonic way. ~You were in position and seemingly ready. Now hang on.~ K'ndelek once again settles his hands and concentrates on the picture of the Bowl.
All of a sudden everything dissappears, leaving only the deepest black and the most total silence he'd ever seen or heard in his life. He feels his stomach flip. Then they burst out above the bowl.

-After-
Dimath lands gently on the side of the Bowl, careful not to off-set his stunned rider. His eyes whirl a mild alarm at his state, but knows he'll be just fine. K'ndelek blinks and shudders, wishing that the weyrhide were thicker. That had to be the worst thing he'd ever done in his life. He shakily dismounts and collapes over Dimath's forearm. He rubs at the tears stinging his eyes. Of all the things to scare a dragonrider! He draws in a deep breath and lets it out. He pushes himself off of the brown and stands, one hand against the wall just in case. He had never been scared of anything in his life, and of all things, why now? ~You've never gone between before~ 'I know, I know...but why between!? Why now, why this?' He silently endures the aftershock, then looks up at T'run. No, he'd wait to ask the question. But maybe...
'Dimath, please relay to Adath that I have a question for T'run once they land.' Dimath obediantly relays the question to Adath, enduring his rider's pain silently.*
