To ride on the back of a dragon?! Aederyn had only ever dreamed! She was expected to come running up the trace in less than an hour, by air she didn’t imagine it would take more than a few minutes, less if there was a jump between involved…that thought terrified and thrilled her at the same time, how did that work again? If he had never seen the station…no, it would probably be a straight flight being such a short distance. Hm…this was her final stop along this run as she had no long-distance messages in her pouch that she had to keep moving, she would only be waiting for another pouch to continue her Cross, and that could take days. She briefly considered the ‘rules’ of her craft…get the messages from one place to the next. Don’t open said messages, as they are the property of their sender and recipient. Don’t turn over massages to anyone other than other runners, the recipient, or a headman/headwoman who would be in charge of getting them to their final destinations. So long as the trace wasn’t damaged, and the messages got where they needed to go in a timely manner, she was doing her job.
Her father had rules about where she could and could not run, and though flying on the back of a dragon had never come up, she was sure there was probably something that said she shouldn’t…
All f this darted trough her mind in the span of two heartbeats. Rules be damned, she was going to fly! She grinned broadly, eyes wide, and shook her head, the curls that had escaped her headband flying about her face. “Not against any rules that I know of!” Which was more or less true…her father’s rules were separate from that of the Craft, and any repercussions she might face from this would be absolutely worth it, anyway. When would she ever get this amazing opportunity again?
Rudi chittered at her, peeking his head out from her tunic and nipping at her ear. She could sense his nervous excitement and sent soothing, happy thoughts his way. The little brown eyed the blue, flitting out from Aederyn’s shirt and swooping about in front of the much larger dragon, apprehensive and wary, yet respectful and even curious. Aederyn took that as all the reassurance she needed, and her already wide grin broadened. “That would be amazing!”
