Hyweth hesitated, only to look back at Brumath. You are wise, she assessed. If only he was faster! Perhaps she would have allowed him to catch her. They insult me. Do I not have a right to defend myself? Perhaps Brumath had a point, perhaps anger wasn't the best way to respond--but it was the only way to keep their attention.
She looked at those closest to her, amused. Hatteth--oh, he was clever! She had expected him to be there. Nachith--he was complimentary, and certainly skilled to have kept up with her. She gave him an encouraging croon, echoing it when she noticed Pipith. Hatteth had not impressed her; he simply fulfilled expectation.

Out of the corner of his eye, Hatteth noticed the same bronze drawing closer to Hyweth, as well as another brown. He studiously ignored the other dragons. Hyweth was the focus, he had to get her. Anyone else was just a distraction.
He bugled cheerily when she looked back. Here he was! Then she crooned at the other two dragons and not at him. Surprised, and a little hurt, he crooned back, a bit tentatively. She still liked him, didn't she? He was too distracted by her reaction to push himself any faster.

[Opeth]
Growling deep in his chest Opeth strained his muscles harder, strove to catch up to the large red dragon. Idiots, all of them, all annoying in their different ways. Showing them up would be sweet indeed.

A croon! She crooned at him! Of course, she had also crooned at one of the browns, so the significance was somewhat diminished. Now focusing on this other brown as his closest competition, thanks to the crimson's acknowledgement of them both, Pipith tried to swipe at this brown. He should get out of the air, and let him have his due!
But, once again, being a jerk cost him, and he didn't advance any further.

So far it seemed all the blues were getting left in the back. That didn't stop Bolth from rolling, flipping and spinning as he danced along the air currents enjoying the show. After all the least he could do was make the flight a sight to be seen and add the the crimson's beautiful dance.

Oh, wonderful, she had noticed him! Despite the antics of the others, his charm had won him at least some favor - but not enough, clearly! He needed to make her see only him, and not those brutes. Though it would keep him from getting any closer for now, he twirled for her in a tight little loop, trying to show off his slim, handsome form, the maneuver just happening to put him out of the reach of the little bronze.

[Brumath]
Brumath replied, perhaps both to her first statement and to her last question. not insult you is to incubate insults for the future. In any event, blazing blood storm, it is foolish to argue with a fool in anger, for that fool will draw you down to their level and best you with experience. Calm. Consideration. It is your mind that makes you, not hide or muscle or bone. The mind. The heart. Do not be corrupted.>

Mazamath was not liking this. Not at all. Many of the other males were being mean - something which was completely unacceptable - and the crimson didn't necessarily seem much nicer. While he continued to fly, his heart was clearly not in it.

I thank you for your wisdom, Hyweth replied gratefully, looking back at Brumath. Oh, what a dragon he was! Perhaps she had been testing them the wrong way. Perhaps wisdom was a better way to test their worth. I will not be. But how could she be calm? How could she, and keep the attentions of her suitors? We will meet again, she promised, bursting through another cloud before turning sharply. She dove.

Hatteth gave himself a little shake, pulling himself together. She was just teasing, surely! He could catch her, would catch her! He tried to judge her next move so he could head her off.
Unfortunately, he misread her movements and dove straight down instead of following her turn. He corrected himself quickly and turned to follow, but he missed the chance to get her there.

All in all, this could have been going better - oh, he was close, but there were others just as close as he was! He didn't like that, not at all. Thoguh he didn't make any more swipes at his competitors for now, he growled to himself. He needed to do better!

Spinning Bolth swooped diving after Hyweth though he like others was near the back of the pack. Still the cheerful blue seemed hardly bothered by his lot in the flight. In fact it was rather fun watching the others compete.

Well, that hadn't worked! She had paid attention to him for a moment, but then her attentions had shifted back to the other males. But he was worth paying attention to! He had complimented her where others offered insult, shown off for her - wasn't he good enough? Momentarily disheartened, his enthusiasm wavered briefly.

As he hung back, refraining from putting in a full effort to chase the crimson, he felt a hint of disappointment from his rider. Wasn't he going to try? He'd said he would try! If he didn't try, it would never be fun.
The prodding worked, at least for now, and he turned and dove after Hyweth.

Hyweth turned to face her suitors, studying each of them. Then she dove through them, bellowing a challenge. They had to keep up! To keep their attentions only on her. She only paused to croon at those closest.
