I've been so damn anxious, and I've been waiting at least half an hour now for you to arrive back to the flight field. I had bonded with Deigh at least half an hour ago. It was only a ten minute flight. My mind raced with heart-wrenching possibilities - you’d fallen off your dragon, you hadn’t bonded, you’d been killed-

And they all go silent as you land, sliding from the back of your dragon, sight consumed by your form, alive, safe, here.

I didn’t even manage to say anything. I race towards you, wrapping my arms around you to crash against you in an all-encompassing kiss, sighing in relief as my worry dissolves.
