While she was thinking that over, Jericho was trying to piece things on his end as well. Just going off of what he had, it wasn't difficult for him to go to that sort of conclusion. Even so, he furrowed his brow at Riley as she whispered into his mind. It seemed like she was worried about this, and rightfully so. "I... I don't know. It.. Would asking it about this be a good idea?" he asked, trying to make sense of everything. "I don't really know what that might have meant.."

Riley gave that a moment's worth of thought, before shaking her head. It would come to nothing. I've seen every memory in Malodore's head. Every emotion, every thought - nothing of it tells me that it suspected us to be -
And here, because the topic was not as easy to discuss as it seemed, she finally turned dark with a very warm blush. Lovers. And I think. I suspect. That it would have known. I have no reason to lie. Did she?
Was Malodore even the jealous type?
Her hand, which had frozen the entire time, finally returned to petting Jericho's hair fondly. I don't think there's a way to find out. But I also suspect that this bond, this feeling between us, is not created by physical attraction. She stilled her hand again. Not that. You know. Not that you don't. Deserve.
Awkward.
Let's just. Retrace our steps from your memory and hope to glean some information that does not make me embarrass myself further. She ducked her head demurely.

Yes, this conversation was beginning to get a bit awkward. Here were two students who had amnesia at some point. And they may or may not have had an affair and they have no real idea if that was really the case. Jericho had no idea how to go about this. "Right. Right. Uh... I.. don't know if there's much to retrace. What I showed you is.. pretty much all I have to work off of. I mean. Something was definitely there. Yeah. I just... don't.. really know what it was or what had caused it?"He rubbed the back of his neck. How did one retrace steps one doesn't know?

Her fingers returned to stroking, but she shook her head. No, what you showed me is exactly enough. I was your rider. That was the thought that kept returning to you, over and over. And while, in a sense, I think that, might, ah, still be leaning towards our previous theory, her skin was turning black at this point. I think it might be helpful to take it literally for the moment. Return to the skies, together. We've done it before, but it hasn't yielded any -That was a lie. She remembered being in the skies with Jericho. She remembered something very faint, very hard to define. She'd brushed it away as exhilaration. But it made more sense now. Whatever happened between us, I hypothesize that it happened in the skies.The.. logistics of that bothered her a little, but she was not going to dwell on that for too long.

Jericho hadn't noticed it at that time since he was busy pumping his wings and trying to stay afloat to really notice..well.. anything. "So...we need to go flying then. I've been training a lot, but.. I don't know how ready I am to take a passenger right now," he admitted while shifting his weight. Of course, weight wasn't an issue in his true form. At least not the weight of one normal sized person. It was more of he wasn't entirely confident that he wouldn't suddenly plummet out of the air. That could be extra bad if he had someone in tow.

I wouldn't worry. I can fly too, remember? She patted his head. If you fall, I won't be falling with you. But I'd really like it if you didn't fall. You'd make such a mess.
She'd said it with full, deadpan seriousness, but a moment afterward, her face lit up with amusement.
Come on, you. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a hug. This felt normal. It felt right. Whether or not this was how things used to be, or if they'd been.. more intimate than this, shouldn't have mattered anymore. As long as she still had Jericho, she was happy.
Anything that endangered this, was an unacceptable threat.
She loosened her firm hug, so he could actually get up. She had, after all, just said they should leave. Her hug contradicted her words, but she couldn't help herself.

"..Yeah. I can't shift forms in midflight since.. pin and all. It'd be pretty bad over all," Jericho said, shuddering a bit at the thought of splattered dragon all over the place before his parts dissipated. He hugged her a little longer, then took in a deep breath. "So..we're going flying then?"He paused for a moment. "Er... please don't get weirded out or anything but uh... what if... what if this is well.. you know.. some sort of... dragon... thing."

We're going flying. She confirmed, feeling a well of excitement that she was not previously aware existed within her, overflow. She moved to stand, but Jericho paused, and she waited to hear what he had to say. When he was finished airing his distress, Riley breathed out a soft chuckle.
Jericho, I think I would be quite relieved if this turns out to have roots in your dragon heritage. That, at least, would explain things without making me out to be a temptress. She waggled her eyebrows suggestively.
Feeling the question was sufficiently answered, she stood, and relented on the topic. Unless the dragon thing you speak of is to mate with someone in the air. Then I am still adulterous, and we still have a problem to solve. This all required quite a great deal of thought. Have you known others of your kind to take mates in the air?

"N-no. That's not what I meant. I mean like..er..."Jericho just decided to stop there. There was no point in him elaborating things and making it more awkward. "..Nevermind. Lets just -- Y-yeah. That's.. that's what I meant," he said as she went on and said what was on his mind. "I don't know much about my kind anymore. But I can see it happening for sure."

Well, I'll make you a deal. The more she talked about this, the easier it was to tease, and not take themselves seriously. Let's just try flying and refrain from copulating, just this once. I think I can hold myself back. She took his hand, and refused to look at him as she led them out of the dorm, because she'd burst into laughter and ruin everything.

"..Hopefully that won't be too hard to do," Jericho said as he was lead on outside. Once they were out in a clear area, he moved away from Riley so that he had some more room. Then, he went on and removed his skull pin. Slowly, his body twisted and grew to form his true draconic self.

Riley did not make the obvious joke.
She did, however, move away when he changed, keeping a watchful eye on every part of the transformation. He was a majestic creature, in her eyes. Befitting of whatever she had in store. But when she returned, and stood in front of his now giant draconic muzzle, she reached out her arms and curled them around his face, pulling it closer.
Ah. She sighed, pressing her face against his nose. I remember this. She knew she shouldn't, but she did, and it felt wonderful. Her face pressed hard against the muzzle, as if she could solve all the answer to their problems just by being this close. But as much as her heart thudded with recognition, it still wasn't the right answer.
Well. She whispered. Where do you want me?

As she took his big muzzle into her hands, he lightly nudged her, careful to not prod too hard as to push her over. "Ah.. climb onto my back. I guess.. in front of my wings?" he suggested as he lowered himself to the ground to make things easier for her.

She let go of his muzzle, and moved to stand just behind his left front leg. She put her hand on it, feeling for how strong it was. When she decided not to test it, she wrapped her arm around his neck instead, bent her knees, and vaulted up over the beast, landing just an inch too far. Her body threatened to slide off the other side, but she grabbed a hold of him and held on tight, righting herself until she felt secure.
Then, she pressed her feet firmly on his sides, and paused.
Ah, let's.. She reached out, one by one, and pulled her very sharp heels off. They clattered to the ground below. Just in case.
Riley was never very good at being gentle.

Her heels didn't bother him initially thanks to his thick scales. But he may feel different about that if she ever decided to well.. kick them into him. That might actually hurt. Once Riley was in place, Jericho stood up then stretched his wings. "Alright... Get ready."The dragon waited a few seconds, then hurled himself into the air as he brought his wings down hard. It was shaky, to say in the least. But he was slowly and roughly getting up into the air.
