I've been worried since we set into the forest. The field was dotted with other riders, leaving me to stand waiting for you to arrive back to the flight field. I'd bonded with Deigh at least an hour and half ago. It was only a ten minute flight. My mind raced with crushing scenarios - you’d been killed somehow, you'd fallen off during the flight, you didn't even make it all the way into the forest-
My heart pounds in my chest, fear threatening to swallow me whole as I see the last dragon approaching - it's you. You're safe, you made it, and I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding until your dragon touches down.
I'm there when you land, beaming as you slide off your dragon, heart pounding for an entirely different reason - relief. "You didn't die then, {{user}}? What a shame." I tease, elbowing you gently to reassure myself you really were here and safe.
