... Well, Kleos asked. Siata snickered, decided to do what the good lady requested, and wrapped her arms around Kleos' waist. Anything suggestive she could do or say disappeared when Moriath decided to go into the air. Siata swallowed a yelp and tightened her arms, fingers locked tight.
"Sweet ******** shards," she laughed into the wind, trying to keep from screaming 'OH SHARDS WE'RE GOING TO DIE' in Kleos' ear. Siata squinted just as much as Kleos, tucked her head down to try and hide behind the crimsonriders shoulder and neck. "Much better!" She yells back against her, still clinging as much as she could without clutching at Kleos like a woman afraid she'd fall the ******** off. "Less blood and horribleness!"

Kleos laughed a bit at Siata's reaction, though not unkindly, and tried not to feel too much like a redfruit in a vice. "A vast improvement!" she agreed. After a few moments she pointed ahead of them, to a couple of trees down by the water's edge. "Does that spot look acceptable to you?" It was far enough away from the Weyr to be deserted, but not so far out that dangerous beasts were likely to be stalking about.

Siata tucked her head down against Kleos' own - the rider did not quite sit tall enough for her to hide her face into the curve of her shoulder as would be appropriate when attempting not to swallow bugs. Still, nose to the shell of an ear and easing up on the clutch at her waist seemed alright. It kept her from squeaking every so often.
"Wha?" She followed Kleos' gaze and point, widening her eyes enough to get a proper view of the bit of island. Siata's chin tucked up and eased up a bit more, nodding again. "Yeah. That looks good. Moriath can land there? We can swim!"
Swim and drink. Good going Siata.

Kleos laughed merrily. "Can she land there? Can a fish swim?"
Moriath rumbled deep in her chest, pleased by her rider's good mood, and swooped gently down towards the shore; she made the descent rather slower than she normally would, in regard for her inexperienced passenger and that fact that Hers wasn't in proper riding gear.
As a huge heavy beast the crimson's landing was not so light as as delicate green's, but she collected herself well and jogged to a halt without shaking the humans on her back around too much.
"And we have arrived!" Kleos declared cheerfully, unfastening herself swiftly from the straps and jumping to the ground.
With her rider dismounted Moriath stretched out a foreleg, a platform for Siata to step down onto first if she didn't fancy just leaping off her back.

"Hey, I don't know dragons - some are way too big to do things or, something," Siata tightened her legs in anticipation of the landing, though the grip around Kleos softened. Squeezing the poor little warrior further could not end well for either one of them. She did, however, tuck her head down against Kleos further.
Both holds relaxed to not impede Kleos in her bit of a hop. While being as awesome as Kleos and jumping from dragonback, Moriath so kindly offered out her leg and it'd be rude to not take it. She stepped down carefully before hitting the ground. "Why thank you ma'am," She grinned back at Moriath, shaking her head to try to clear out the s**t just rode on a dragon again. "Huzzah! Food and drink shall be had and without worry of people thinking we are lushes or anything of the sort. Well, at least the opinion would only last until the Gather. I imagine there will be plenty drinking going on then. We'll get ours in early so if you don't like the whole drinking thing, you can say you already were."

"She says you are most welcome," Kleos passed on with a smile as her dragon dipped her head and rumbled at Siata.
Stretching out comfortably Kleos looked around and gave a nod of satisfaction. "I have no doubt it shall! Everyone needs a chance to celebrate, and to bond.... Perhaps the Benden riders will come to see that we are no as different as they might think." She was aware that she was in a slightly dangerous position, when it came to the future in any case. Should Kindra be the next Weyrwoman, and perhaps young N'mol her Weyrleader, would they retain an atypical wingleader? She found herself doubting it.
