Malvayth let out a happy chirp as she lifted off the ledge, spiraling up into the sky as Cazan held onto the straps with a vicelike grip until the gold levelled out with a few strong beats of her wings. Was that really necessary? Cazan did her best to not think grumpy nauseous thoughts and to look like everything was completely fine on her end. Yes, because it's a fun way to get high. I'll be more careful next time though to not shake up the eggs in your belly. Need to make sure they're safe until you clutch. Cazan did not want to mention for what was probably the millionth time that human pregnancies were different and that was not at all how things worked, so instead she just nodded and gave T'ryn a wave to try and reassure him everything was fine.
And everything was fine for quite a while, other than the sheer length of the trip. Mal was encouraged to fly straight and steadily but would occasionally veer slightly to a side to better catch a draft that would let her glide even more smoothly for the sake of her rider. It had been over a year since Cazan had ridden a horse, and while she'd ridden on Mal's back on the ground and in the air it had been a few months since she'd done any regular riding. And certainly never for this long. And never while this pregnant.
Cazan kept reassuring the gold that she was fine though whenever she was relayed concerned messages from T'ryn or K'dar checking up on them. It wasn't until they landed down at their first campsite for the night that she started to grumpily curse, tottering about on wobbly legs as Malvayth watched her with concern.I tried to keep the ride gentle. "I'm fine. I'm just... I was already sore and I don't think I realized how much sore I was getting until after I got off. You're fine, Mal. Go have fun with your entourage." The gold stared at her for a moment before she finally chirped, OH! My pretty bronzes! "Yes. Go on and relax. I'm going to go find T'ryn and ask him why he thought putting a baby in me was a good idea."
Once Cazan had waddled away, Mal stretched her wings and took back off for another quick burst of flying, twisting and turning for fun and to show off for all the pretty boys who had made the trip with her. She kept the display short though, with the light growing dim, and soon found herself back on the ground. After making sure her rider was safely in the care of her mate and the fire lizards, Malvayth stretched out to lounge and mingle, chattering happily away about how much fun it was to fly and how this was clearly the best adventure.
