Finally!
T'rus stepped forth to eye the harnesses before all of the new pairs converged and spirited the best of them away.

I don't understand why I need to wear 'that'!
Wyth said with a snort.
Couldn't you just ride me without them?

'And be caught without them during Threadfall?! I need these straps to stay with you when we fly Thread. I'm certainly wanting us to be more than a scroll-carrier for the rest of our days.'
T'rus tried not to be too curt with his still-young dragon. Still, he couldn't believe why he'd asked about the need for flight straps.

He looked over those that remained carefully.
T'rus had done some leathercraft as a drudgelad. It was needed for both the mines and other places he'd worked. He saw that a great many of these were well-worn. Some had the start of dry-rot and frail stitching.
One pair would have to do until Wyth reached his full growth and the fighting straps would then be custom-made for him alone. They would be bigger than a conventional brown's by a great deal.
Wyth would top-out at nearly a bronze's size.

Bending over a pair, T'rus lifted them and gave it a practiced eye for wear and tear. Judging it OK, he brought it back to his Wyth and laid it out for his dragonmate.

I'm to wear this?

'Of course. All dragons must. Now, dip your head so I can slip this over your neck and begin adjustments.'

Wyth bent his brown-bronze neck, faceted eyes returning to a calmer whirl as his soon-to-be rider took pains to make the training straps fit not too-tight or loose on his beloved partner.
