He stiffened at the familiarity Zelana kept having with him. He was used to someone like Madiquel or Kestra leaning on him but he had grown up with them, known them for years, not hours. He forced himself to relax. It wasn't a big deal. Two friends, new as they were, hanging out atop his dragon. Of course the contact would happen. Honestly, she was just making him so unbalanced that everything felt odd.
"Flying has surprisingly a lot more air than water does," A'tay pointed out, still not ready to give in and face that fear no matter how much he was pestered. He regretted telling her about it now but it had always deterred others from pushing the issue when they knew the fear and the way it started. of course it would make this mysterious woman more determined to fix the issue. Why though? Why was she so intent on fixing him and making sure he knew how to have fun? Was this how she fixed her own boredom? That was the reason she approached him to begin with, after all.
"Some riders do like to jump from their dragon into the water. I've been told you don't want to go from too high because the impact hurts, even if you try to enter gracefully." A'tay wasn't about to tell his nosy new friend that he was a bit intrigued by the idea. The sense of free falling, even for a short moment, and landing safely in the water seemed like such a rush of adrenaline and the riders always came up smiling and laughing. Free falling on Xyxyth's back was enough for him, though. It was fun, thrilling with the way the ground rushed towards them, and safe when his sweet dragon pulled them back up from the dive.
"I'm sure Xyxyth will let you jump a few times if you like. The water is deeper over here so you'd be safe in the landing."
