Ciendra came around slowly. She spent a moment to collect her hazy memories and take soundings of her body's feelings. Her body felt both satiated and slightly sore. Yes, Lialeth had Risen, her second Mating Flight. The first one had been disappointment for Ciendra. Winner hadn't been the one she had wanted, instead he had been some _old_ guy. She hesitated to open her eyes. Who had Lialeth choosen this time? **Please, Faranth, not some old rider again!** Of course, from her point of view, everybody over 30 was _old_.

"You okay?" asked the bluerider beside her. V'con wasn't that much older than her really. And although his blue mainly preferred greens ridden by men, a woman was a nice treat, especially in a flight.

"Who?" Ciendra cracked her eyes open. "V'con?" At least he was somewhat famililar face, a wing mate and not too much older than her. "Hi;" she said with shy smile. "I'm fine."

"You sure?" he asked gently. It wasn't her first flight he knew that much, but he wasn't sure how much experience she'd had before hand, and flights were not always the soft romantic experience people dreamed of.

"Yes, I'm sure," Ciendra almost rolled her eyes. She wasn't _that_ innocent hold-girl. She was still bit disppointed that the winner wasn't L'cor. Still, he was preferetable over the last one.

"Because your green flew really well."

"She does that, doesn't she?" Ciendra tried to appear modest. Lialeth had always been good in the air.

"And Cacholetyth probably took advantage." The bluerider looked his bed mate over again. "You know they're still snuggled up together, enjoying the aftermath," a wicked grin crossed his features at that. "We could too."

"Yes we can," Ciendra replied, feeling shy again. She found him attractive and the lust from Lialeth'd Flight still lingered. She hesitantly reached out to caress his face.

That was all the invitation V'con needed. He gently covered her hand with own, before moving under the furs to kiss her. slowly at first, then he let the remaining dragon lust take him.

Ciendra tossed all holdbred inhibitions to the high wind and just let her body take over. She responded to V'con's touch eagerly.

Which was all he needed to know, as his hands began to explore the greenrider's body.

"Mmh, I could get used to this," Ciendra said, breathing heavily. She felt amazing.

"I bet you say that every time she rises," V'con's breath was short too, but even so he managed to tease the younger rider.

"This was only second time she Rose and during the first time, I just wanted to leave as soon as I was able," Ciendra said.
"Thank you for wonderful experience," she smiled at him.

"And thanks to you, and Lialeth."

"You're welcome," Ciendra replied, feeling shy again. She wanted to tell him that he would be welcome outside mating flights too but couldn't find the courage to say it.

"Any time," V'con told her. "Any time."

She was going to remember him, if only she could work up the courage to ask.

"Would you like to go and get something to eat?" suggested V'con.

"I think I could eat now," Ciendra answered, getting up to sitting position.

"Then how about we get dressed, and go find something?" suggested V'con as he looked for his shirt.

"Yes, good idea," now that she was up, Ciendra realized that her body was screaming for food. She had used lot of energy and she was still too thin.

"And maybe we can get to know each other outside of the flight room."

"That could be good. We are wingmates, after all," Ciendra replied with a smile and located her tunic. She pulled it on.

"And friends too?" V'con found his trousers and pulled them on.

"That would be great," Ciendra smiled radiantly at him.

"It would," he smiled back at her.
