[Vignette] It wasn't the same
Chielyth watched her sister and all the ones chasing her pop over the rim of the Bowl - one, two, three, more - and wished she could be with them. Wished she could stretch her wings, and soar, and match herself against them, and see who could fly fast faster fastest, and finish all happy panting tired doitagain. She didn't know all of the dragons but she bet they were all really good.
She nibbled between her talons where Kai hadn't entirely scrubbed away the blood from earlier (she told him she was saving it for later and now it was later) and tried to ignore the deep itching (not itching) in her tail. She got itchy when Kai was with Khameth's and sometimes when he thought about boobies or blue eyes and sometimes she didn't like it except watching Elaruth she sort of maybe did.
She thought about it, about leading her own pack which wasn't the same as flying with them only sort of it was, and her tail twitched so much she had to slap a foot down on it to keep it still. Even then it quivered, just the tip, and she kept a sideways eye on it while she kept nibbling on her foot and thought, hard.
Naimath said Elaruth was proddy. Was -she- proddy? Naimath didn't think so. She wasn't sure she wanted to be proddy (tail twitch tail twitch) because it made Kai all grumpygrowlyblueyes but maybe he wouldn't mind so much if it was her? He'd been grumpygrowly all day today, ever since she swam with Saleth and he was lots of fun to fly with too. She looked, but she didn't feel Saleth flying with Elaruth. That was all right. She didn't think Elaruth would mind if she kept Saleth even though Saleth was really good at flying.
The itching in her tail got worse and she wished Kai would go find blue eyes or boobies or /something/ and she nibbled fiercely at her foot, watching her tail sidelong so it knew it was next. It felt like when she climbed so high she couldn't climb any higher and all there was left was falling, or a storm, or chasing through rocks so close she brushed the stone with her wings. She wanted...
She didn't know. She wanted to fly (not fly) like Elaruth. She wanted someone to chase after her not like flying with Bennath. Like Corvinth maybe, who said lots of things when they were flying she didn't understand but she really liked flying with him. She wanted to sit next to Khameth or maybe go flying while Kai did something with his rider to make the itching stop and it was still twitching even though she held it down and she -bit- her tail and that hurt but then it stopped itching.
Mikhuth made it stop.
She really liked Mikhuth.
