"You're an ass," A'liran noted with a cocky grin. He lifted a brow at he looked up at the bluerider, noticing the brief pause accompanied by a blank stare. Ali didn't expect much of a response from the man, but that little pause was telling enough; he'd caught the man off-guard, put him in a position where even for a split second he wasn't sure what to say. D'hys wouldn't green someone like Ali with a puzzled or uncertain expression, or anything else that might seem like weakness. That little pause was enough to let Ali know that he'd hit home, and unlike D'hys, he was unable to hide his emotion. A mug grin crossed his face.
"We have a deal, then," Ali promised. "Ast's flights are pretty irregular, but if I get any warning I'll let you know." He wondered if it would work. Astoreth wasn't particularly against flying with the same dragon in general, but once her cycle came around she became unbelievably difficult. Any plans or desires were forgotten in the moment and she simply took off, waiting for the fastest and strongest to grab her. She hated them during the chase. She hated them.
Ali sighed as he felt the bluerider's touch once more. The greenrider's defensive posture relaxed as he rested beneath the man, finally letting his guard down and surrendering in full. It was D'hys' quiet reward for accepting the bet. Ali knew it was more of a risk for the bluerider than for himself. Unless D'hys pulled a fast one or some outside influence screwed things up, Ali couldn't lose! He was excited, but in that moment he saw no reason to rub it in. Instead, he would reward his partner. "All right then," he purred. "What do you want right now?"
