Read about their Ryslen Flight!
Why do you cry then?
"Because when you laugh so hard like I do... you just do!"
That is odd. Is it funny too?
"You're funny! And I love you!"
I am still hungry.
"That too, is funny... For I thought I just found you something to eat not more than a day ago!"
I think I will always be hungry if you only feed me little things! I want to hunt something! Look, the big dragons get to do it!
"You can't fly yet, Vir, it's dangerous doing that if you can't fly."
But I have tried! And my wings are strong.
"You aren't ready yet," Ada insisted. "And plus, if you aren't eating the stuff they hunt for us, that'll put the staff out of a job!"
You are always so concerned for your friends! I love you!
"A surprise to her rider, maybe," Ada chuckled. They flew over Talor for the last time, bidding farewell to their friends and weyrmates. So much time spent in the barracks, learning from the weyrling master... Everything was just so amazing at Talor. But now it was time to start flying in a wing, at the Protectorate, and Ada had an appointment of sorts with the wing leader of the Uplift wing.
L'ex, on bronze Ulonyth, also of Talor Cliff's sands, rested his weary (but very attractive) bones against his dragon, while standing on the cliffside of the Protectorate's little island meeting grounds.
"Think this place can get any more isolated?" Ada asked, and L'ex laughed.
"I don't think any place in the world is isolated, when you're on a dragon. Anyway, I've heard good things about you, especially from the people at Dawnlight. They claim you've got good work below your belt, and I tend to believe them."
"Ooh, praise from an Alabaster flunkie. I like it!" Ada said, and her Viresth grumbled in agreement. Higher praise could not be found in the world.
"You can start right away," L'ex said, "you'll be the shoulder-spot on my left."
Which to Ada, meant ... like a WingSecond's Wing Second. Amazing.
We are that good, need I remind you? Viresth bespoke. They flew off, ready to fight and build with equal love.
