Not that she had ever really dreamed of being a dragonrider but now that she was it was like discovering a part of herself she had never known was lacking.

In a loud whisper that Cimbreth could obviously still hear, Johar said, "She's being extra today." But the grin on her face would tell Tala that Johar didn't mind it at all.
