| They didn't go too far outside of the Weyr. Isath landed, Cailluneth followed, and N'ky slipped down to check his lifemate's straps with Meara. Check. Double check. Triple check. And then, just to reassure himself, he checked once more. Everything was fine. Meara gave him the run-down, told him what to do, and then he was up and buckling himself in. He'd been on Cailluneth's back before, of course, but today, right now, it felt... different. She was excited. He was excited. The broadness of her back felt as solid, sturdy and reliable beneath him, warm and soft and safe. Of course he was safe; she wouldn't allow him to get hurt any more than he would allow her to. In her eagerness, his lifemate's thoughts became a brilliant white canvas, glittering and sparkling beneath a sheen of his goldenpink, her mind's heartbeat throbbing at a staccato pace. It matched his own heart, which fluttered and pounded in his chest. Meara gave the all clear. They were good to go. « I'm ready whenever you are, Cailluneth. » With the silvery sails of her wings spread to their fullest, N'ky could feel the bunching of muscles in his lifemate beneath him; Cailluneth's haunches sunk before she sprung upwards, a vertical ascent that jarred him, made him cling tighter despite the comforting colours that flooded his mind. Up they went; up, up, up. The higher they went, the more N'ky wondered why he'd been putting this off for so long - he'd missed out on so much when they could have been flying, all this time! Cailluneth was no less pleased, crooning a rough greeting to Isath when the older green appeared by their side in the air. N'ky saluted Meara, unable to hold back his huge grin. Both dragon and rider were disappointed when the Weyrlingmaster signalled for them to head back to the Weyr, though N'ky could feel Cailluneth tiring beneath him. The sun had set and the bowl was in darkness as they came in over the rim, but the lack of light made no difference to finding a safe landing spot. It wasn't a textbook landing, but it was as perfect as it needed to be. With his legs quivering in excitement still, N'ky nearly stumbled as he dropped to the ground - and yet he still found the energy to leap up, pumping his fist into the air and whooping in triumph. « You were amazing! » But of course she was. Cailluneth reciprocated, colours flooding their mindlink in her eagerness to reassure that he, too, was just as good. It was every colour of perfect for both of them. With the all clear from Meara, the weyrling pair retreated for the evening. Dinner for them both, followed by the records room for N'ky, and then curling up in their mattress-strewn couch together for the night. The next morning saw them rising early, as ever; earlier than the call to wake up, for sure. Rukbat's faint light was just beginning to peep over the rim, and N'ky was already buckled into Cailluneth's straps waiting for her to receive Isath's approval for their trip to the Star Stones. Sunrise was even more spectacular from way up high, distracting N'ky from the journal he'd checked out of the records room to read. Up here, high above the world and with Cailluneth's warm side to lean against, everything was perfect. Inspiring. Being on top of the world was a refreshing perspective, that certainly brought new thoughts into N'ky's head. All the negativity that had weighed him down was sloughed off by the breeze that riffled the pages of the journal in his lap. Renewed ambitions, passions, keenness - he had them all. « We're going to be the best, Cailluneth. The best wingleader, the best weyrlingmaster, the best dragonhealer... whatever. I'm going to make us the best. » |

Lucky N'ky and Cailluneth! Tela is not envious... or so she'd say if most people asked her.

Alida would say to N'ky right now.. "And this time is where you have to guard against *overconfidence*. Stick in the mud guard. ;)
