Whoosh The air flies out of Raja's stomach as someone's head is driven into it. Kyrath, behind her, quickly darts out a glimmering foreleg, catching her before she can fall. Raja gasps in raggedly, then breathes out, breath hollow in her throat, pale fingers clutching at Kyrath's soft scales.

Slowly she rises, chuckling a bit as she regains her breath. "Are you all right? Yes, I suppose so...your head is a bit harder than my stomach." Raja looks closer at the youngster. "You're...Z'var...are you not? Congratulations on...Branth, is it? Yes. Oh, and you'll not want those straps. They're only hanging together by a thread at this joint here. Take these instead." picking up a harness lodged in a corner, she tosses it to him, and winks.

Shall we begin? the weyrwoman queries of her dragon.

Kyrath's eyes whirl in response, and Raja steps to the front of the crowd once again, noting the one dragon hovering in the air above their heads. "We will start by puting on our riding straps. While this skill was lost with the last of the ancient dragonriders, I'm fairly confident that they are put on like so. Watch closely, I'll only demonstrate once."

Beckoning Kyrath forward, Raja places the straps around her neck, looping this strap through that buckle, letting some hang down while binding others tightly. She makes one more minute adjustment, then nods. "Now, it's your turn. Be sure not to put the straps on too loosely, or you'll fall off. If any of your straps snap, come see mee and I'll issue you a new pair. As soon as you are finished, we will begin to fly. Oh, and don't tuck this strap" she points to the strap on Kyrath's side "in to that buckle, the way Ishith's rider up there did. I fully expect him to come tumbling down at any moment." She glances up, lines of worry forming at her brow.

Kiir, could you please tell Ishith to come down? I don't want that boy to hurt himself...

The dragon obliges, and Raja waits to see all straps are fastened securely before beginning the lesson.
