  Ashelle hurried a bit to catch up with the one she'd heard called
Th'rin, and gently tapped him on the shoulder.

  "Excuse me, please.  I hope I don't make you uncomfortable for some
reason.  And I also hope that you don't think that your looking at me
makes me feel that way.  It doesn't, not really.  I'm just not used to it.
Please don't feel badly, ok?"

  Then she turned and caught up with Saul, looking a bit timidly at the
big dragon before letting him help her mount the big beast.  This was
going to be interesting.

  < snip..the conversation between Saul and Th'rin. >

> Saul nodded, "I understand." Then he moved back and mounted Fayloth, behind
> the girl.

  Ashelle stopped herself from leaning back; partly for the reason that
she didn't want to appear forward, which she certainly wasn't..and partly
for the reason that she didn't want to appear as nervous about this as she
really was.  Sometimes a brave front was good.  She just hoped that no one
noticed she was shivering just a bit, from nervousness over her first
dragon flight.

  "This won't take long, will it?  And what do I hold onto?  The dragon,
or you?"

Thanks!  I understand.  I just hope I can do the posts more justice than I
did this one!  *sigh*
