"No." L'rel's voice was small and plaintive. A breeze in the tornado or his dragon's instincts. You're not ready, what if you hurt yourself.
The answer to a pleading was a deep defiant bellow as Devith tore into a heard beat and drained it of it's life blood.
He had kept her down as long as he could but her lusts would be denied no longer. It was true the green was still in recovery, the hide on her side and across her belly was badly burned during thread by the accident of another dragons careless flame. It had healed into ugly scar tissue, stretched and distorted in some places, wrinkled and mottled in others depending on the strength of flame that had hit the area.
But the rest of her green hide glowed with the need to rise and she was still beautiful in the flashes of winter sun.
Some part of her though could not shake her other overwhelming instinct to mother her beloved rider. Wait for me L'rel, let me show you that my wings still work! Don't fret so much you'll end up the one back with the healers! She sang as she launched herself into the sky.
L'rel winced and readjusted the crutch under his arm (Devith hadn't been the only one injured in the last thread fall) as he hobbled out onto to his ledge to watch. His heart hammered with a combo or worry and exhilaration.
Devith bellowed again. Come lovely blue's, browns and bronzes. I would have you woo me from the sky. But first I will take you on my merry chase.

L'rel and Devith
On Devith: A sweet green she is quite typical of her colour in being bubbly and personable. She is also a gossip and likes to mother hen and cluck over everyone. She can come across as a bit of a ditz but she actually is quite intelligent with an excellent memory and attention to detail.
Devith is also deeply caring about just about everyone. Nor is she afraid of anyone, not even the gold. She will always go out of her way to help and defend the underdog and make them feel better. 'Be it a child or just someone like her rider who is used to taking flack she wants to listen and help.
'There there child, sit on my tail, have a nice cup of Klah and tell me allllllll about it'.
Positives:
+Caring,
+fearless.
+Intelligent
Negatives:
-Ditzy,
-gossip,
-Pushy. Busy body
On L'rel : King of awkward if he can't hide in a corner with a his notes he will reel of a whole list of useless facts no one asked for before engaging in actual human like conversation.
He just sort of gets on with every day life without engaging much with it. He very much blends into the fabric of the weyr with no desire to stand out and happy to get his social needs from his sweet motherly dragon. He also has a bad habit of never saying no to anyone so he gets dumped on a lot by less scrupulous members of the weyr. He's sweet and kind in his own way but as he avoids people he rarely gets to show that side of himself. He's used to Devith's flights but up till now his post flight awkwardness and general shyness has chased everyone away by the next morning.
