She was beautiful! Graceful, elegant, with laughing eyes.
The human wasn't bad, either.
Rigelth sat up, from where he was sitting, hidden, by the edge of the lake. He and his rider, C'rin, had come to Seiryuu Weyr, hearing there was a female rising. Rigelth sat, musing on the white beauty before him, flexing his blue wings. He decided there was nothing to lose, and flew back to his weyr, to tell C'rin to sign him up.
Yes, that's her.
"...Rigelth, I'm not too sure about this. Do you really think you could win?"
I don't care! My love will carry farther and faster than any wind could. Her heart will be my wings! I can't lose!
"...Uh-huh. You're going to badger me until I give in, aren't you? Alright then, I'll go sign you up."
