Making a New Friend

She flew!! She actually flew!!
Well granted, Tera thought, it was only a
hundred feet down the green, but her dragon
had flown.
>>Oh Sundee you're such a clever dragon. I'm
so proud of you<< Tera shouted as she ran down
the green to intercept her wonderful dragon.
>>You were magnificent.<< she was shouting and
didn't care who heard her.
<I did okay> Sundellath gave a mental shrug.
<I'll feel better about it when you and I can
fly together> Excitement filled the midnight
blue dragon's thoughts.
>>Oh Silly, so will I, oh so will I<< Tera
replied as she hugged Sundellath, a feeling
she couldn't quite describe settling over her,
as she walked with her dragon back up the
green to where the others stood
"Did you see her fly?" she signed to Kay, who
was standing there with another of the new
hatchling pairs. A girl and a two tone blue
colored dragon with a black snout. Tera was
ashamed to admit, she couldn't remember the
girls name, so she just smiled at the girl
and turned to catch Kay's reply.
He signed his approval with a bemused
expression on his face. "She did well, like
my Sabbith. Soon you'll both be flying," a
twinkle glinted in his eyes, a slow smile
spread across his lips as he shared the
inside joke with Tera. He was referring to
something she had told him this morning.
Twin spots of color danced in her tan cheeks
as she caught his double meaning. She saw the
raised eye brow and the questioning look in the
other girls eyes as she watched their exchange.
"You're bad," She quickly signed to Kay,
laughing and then turned to the other girl.
"I'm Tera, Sundellath's human," she quipped,
holding out her hand to the girl in a show of
greeting.
"I'm Lyonnia," the other girl replied with a
smile. "Slave of Dianthus." Her smile faltered
for just a second, so quick that Tera thought
she'd imagined it.
"I saw you at the meeting with Gazelle this
morning," Lyonnia said.
Just then H'nry and Thomas came up to them to
tell them the lesson was all but over for the
day. Both men praised the hatchlings attempts
today at flying and assured them that their
dragons would be ready to fly with their
riders soon.
Tera followed by Sundellath walked back to the
Hatchling barracks with Kay and Lyonnia and
their dragons, after they were dismissed to
settle their dragons in for an afternoon nap.
Tera then sought out Lyonnia and asked the
girl if she'd like to have lunch with her.
(Tag Sarah!!!Do you want to eat?)
