SHARDS!
Aederyn stumbled, arms flailing wildly, and barely managed to catch herself. Though, her stride now broken, her steps were heavy and pounding into the trace, carrying her without their previous lightness…not like she cared much with the sight ahead of her. The blue and his rider appeared so quickly and her mind had been focused elsewhere, she hadn’t even noticed them until the rider shouted to her. Absently, she connected the blue’s presence with Rudi’s sudden absence. Did firelizards not like dragons? She dug her heels into the ground, skipping a few paces before skidding to a stop in front of the pair, barely registering the words said.
She stood in absolute awe. She hadn’t seen a dragon on the ground since the hatching five turns before, and even then she had not been THIS CLOSE to one. The beast, no….creature? She struggled to find a word in her head to describe dragons…They were so much more than just animals—the dragon…was more beautiful and more massive and just so much MORE than she remembered dragons to be. Mouth agape, her breaths came in big heaves as she gulped down air. It took a full six seconds before her mind allowed her to process what the rider had said to her.
She shook her head, clearing her thoughts and refocusing her attention. She wasn’t exactly sure how to interact with dragons, or riders, but she was certainly not going to make that obvious. She straightened and bowed from the waist, arms at her back.
“Hello Blue…” her eyes darted to the dragon, and, not knowing his name, she continued and hoped they wouldn’t notice, or if they did they would at least forgive her for it. “…and blue rider…” she swallowed hard, again lost for words. Well…so much for not being awkward. She plowed on. She thanked the Dawn Sisters that she was in such good shape as her breathing had quickly stabilized, and that at least allowed her to appear slightly more calm than she actually was. “Thank you, for your concern. But I am fine. Just running messages. I have a pouch to deliver, and provided the weather stays decent, I should be there within an hour.” Her eyes drifted back to the stunning blue, admiring the sleek, muscled form. How did they fly on such delicate looking wings?! Her voice took on a wistful tone as she continued. “I’m born and bred to running, I couldn’t impose…He really is beautiful…”
Just then her little brown appeared from between, chittering and scolding, catching her hair in his claws before burying himself in her tunic, his eyes tinged with anxious and confused yellow. She reached a hand to his tiny head where it rested against her neck, scratching and soothing the little brown, and smiled timidly at the rider in front of her.
