WOW. Meeting a dragon and rider! The rider was somehow smaller than I thought them to be...I guess I expected them to be...bulkier? I don't know...He was quite a bit taller than me though. I'm used to being at eye level with everyone, it's nice to be shorter for a change. He was so sweet, too! I honestly don't know what I expected a dragon rider to be, but he wasn't it...in a good way, though. I like his easy laugh and open smile. He was kind. Though how had he not been familiar with Runners? At any rate, he was totally chill with me practicing a craft, unlike some of the staunch, hide-bound men who insist the traces are to be run only by those who can't birth children. Well...I guess I'm partially included in that...my boy...No, no. Not the time, girl. Don't let those depressing thoughts cloud your mind and eyes with tears. Can't run when you're crying. Back to happier things, now. EDATH! My, what an incredible being! And I got to RIDE him! That really is something to cherish and treasure forever. I got to ride a dragon. How phenomenal is that?! I can't wait to tell Alekse and Meri!

I WENT TO A HATCHING! I honestly never thought that meeting with R'dal and Edath was more than a chance encounter...that is most definitely not the case, and I couldn't be happier for it! We have kept in touch, Rudi has gotten much better about message carrying, though I still need to invest in a small pouch for him for risk of a tied message coming loose and falling on the way.
The Hatching was absolutely incredible! To see those pudgy, beautiful little creatures find their life partners...it really is a sight to witness. It was even more chaotic than the last one I attended...there was an earthquake, for Faranth's sake! And shards, the hatchlings' claws are sharp! Those poor people that got hurt! And Quinvalis? I hope he will be okay. I hope more than anything. R'dal was so completely devastated at him getting hurt...he's alive though, and that's all that can really be asked for right now. He's alive and will heal. And to have three hatchlings disappear between! It brings tears to my eyes to think of such horribleness. Those poor babies who never had a life to live, cut short moments into life. Somehow though, I still think it would be worth it...risk the injury and the pain and the heartbreak for the chance to bond with one of those amazing beasts for life. Now, Rudi, I love you too, you undersized wherry of a firelizard! Let up now, and fly ahead to check for obstacles or other runners. But oh, a DRAGON...I must go back up to the Weyr soon, check on R'dal and Quinvalis and say hello to R'dare and F'drel again. Soon.
