 << Ready? >> She reared back on her haunches, leg muscles bunched like a coiled spring and wings unfurled to their widest.
-L'sha closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, reaching deeply through the link he shared with Rillaeth.  He felt the air currents and wind direction over her hide, the powerful muscles in her legs and wings, preparing himself for the ride, then opened his eyes.  "Ready!"  He crouched down as low as he could, gloved hands gripping the saddle as tight as he could, steeling himself.

 Rillaeth's acceleration was explosive as she surged forward as fast as she could.  After a dragonlength, she brought her wings down, sweeping a huge volume of air downward, then partially folded them for the upstroke.  Her legs pumped furiously, still accelerating as her wings swept down twice, then thrice.  On the fourth downstroke, she was airborne.
-J'vain wasn't kidding about hanging on for dear life.  He was bucked and thrown around so violently on Rillaeth's back that he nearly lost his grip and might have fallen off if he weren't strapped in.  On the third downstroke, he felt a strong upward acceleration and suddenly felt much heavier.  Then, they were off the ground and the bucking from Rillaeth's legs vanished, though the upward force continued.  L'sha sat up straighter on the saddle and his mouth fell open, momentarily stunned.  Then he barked out a sharp laugh and a whoop of sheer ecstasy.

 Rillaeth returned her lifemate's whoop with a brassy bugle of her own, then her wingbeats stopped and she spread her wings wide to soar for a few lengths.  She felt his exhilaration and basked in it like heat from the sun, then resumed her wingbeats.  Her touch, reflecting the void of deep space but oddly reassuring at the same time, reached to her rider.  << Turning now, hang on. >>  Short and to the point as ever.
-Even through the leather earflaps of his helmet, the roar of the wind in his ears was almost deafening and it buffetted his face and chest.  Good thing he could hear Rillaeth in his head, because he sure wouldn't be able to hear anything else.  He nodded as she relayed her next action to him and crouched low again on the saddle.  He leaned with her turn, tilting his head to try and keep it upright and level so he could keep his bearings.

-Rillaeth's wings beat strongly and smoothly as she adjusted to the turn.  As she came around and leveled off, L' sha straightened up again.  He turned his head as they approached the landing and saw J'vain and Quarzith in closer view, when a moment ago they were almost specks.   His mood dipped a bit, since that meant that the ride was coming to an end.  Rillaeth must have sensed it and decided on one last bit of fun, suddenly climbing another length.

-"Whoah, whoah, stay below two lengths!"  L'sha hung on as she climbed, then just as suddenly started a long, soaring descent.  L'sha felt about to rise off the saddle at the top of the arc, then crouched low as they accelerated and descended, the wind roaring even louder around him.  "Slow down, slow down!"

-Rillaeth gleefully called out,  << Coming in for a landing! >>  She did as instructed, however, tilting her wings forward to act as an airbrake.  When they neared the ground where J'vain and Quarzith waited, she began to backwing, slowing even further.  Her hindlegs lowered and she landed with a single hop, then touched down with her forelimbs.

-L'sha sat in the saddle for a moment, stunned, then came back down to earth and began unbuckling his straps with hands trembling from adrenaline.  He wrapped his arms as far as they could go around Rillaeth's neck and hugged.  "That was ''wonderful''!  I love you ''so much''!  Grinning, he slowly dismounted, finding that his legs were shaking slightly as well, and hopped down the last few feet to the ground.

 L'sha grimaced in embarrassment.  "Sorry, J'vain, she did it before I could react.  Guess I was too wrapped up in it."  He grinned sheepishly.
-J'vain snorted.  "That can get you killed, you know.  ''Pay attention'' next time.  Speaking of which, I want you here same time tomorrow.  Dismissed."  He walked back to Quarzith, who rumbled to Rillaeth.  << You flew very well, but ''listen'' to J'vain next time. >>

 L'sha saluted J'vain as he left, then cradled his lifemate's head gently, resting his head against hers.  "I could float home.  Wish I could feel like this forever."  He and Rillaeth walked back into the Weyr side-by-side.  His fellow weyrlings caught him staring at nothing a few times with a slightly dazed look on his face at dinner.
