Welcome to Gaia! ::

"The fact that you can still fly between has nothing to do with anything." Roana continued to scold the blue harshly. "You should have at least mentioned the fact that you were bleeding. It's hardly nothing when its an open wound like this. Now I know why Nicara doesn't like leave you alone, if you do sharding idiotic things like this." ~It was also true that Ro was feeling just a little guilty herself, recalling the night previously when Tug had shouted at the dragon, and she had not said anything because she had been too excited to see him. Diesteth had chosen to exit via the water because of that, to keep her and her adoptive family happy.

Still, that did not excuse his stubborn refusal to acknowledge his own hurt but it did make red head even more on edge because of it.

However it was when Roana turned to Nicara that her anger truly simmered and died. looking at the riders stricken expression was enough to cool her jets and she quickly shook her head. "Nicara, love." she reached out to her, taking her hands in her own. "It's not your fault. You so rarely let your hair down. It's not your fault at all, it was just bad luck. Don't let this ruin what happened here okay? It was still amazing." She wanted so badly to kiss her in that moment and try and kiss away the hurt but she didn't think the rider would be receptive to it in that moment so she choose instead to help her up onto Diesteth's back before she climbed up behind her, curling her arms around her slim waist and resting her head on her shoulder.

"Let's go home then."

Roana let out a deep shuddering breath as they departed between into clear skies above Western once more. She didn't think she would ever get used to that cold oppressive feeling. Althrough her arms were around Nicara giving her something solid and warm to cling to, there was no link with a dragon to keep her mind from tumbling every time she was robbed of breath in the void.

She was too busy holding up her arms and breathing deep on the sweet air of the area she was increasingly thinking of as home, she didn't even noticed that Diesteth's landing wasn't quite as smooth and effortless as usual.

When she looked towards the brackets she could see a few candidates busying themselves grabbing items for class while others wondered back and forth in the weyr bowl, a few stragglers returning late from breakfast while others were already heading towards the classroom. Perfect timing Ro thought ruefully, though she would not have the spare minutes needed to get her hair in order. Nyeh was nesting in it as usual anyway. Only her tiny golden head poked out of the red curls. She had slipped in as they left the hold.

Ro smiled at Diesteth. "You helped, though I promise next time you get hurt I am going to make Nicara step aside and let me treat you, and Faranth help you then," She teased the dragon, kissing his nose as he pulled away.

Then it was Nicra's turn for a kiss. Roana was completely unconcerned that they were sitting on dragon back, in broad daylight during a busy time in the morning. Let the whole world know. "Defiantly." She promised. "And I hope there is no rules against candidates and riders being together." The thought had only just struck her. "Because I want everyone to know I snagged myself the prettiest rider at western." She teased before kissing her again and finally making her departure.

She swung her leg over the blue's side and dropped lightly to the ground. Giving both memebers of the pair a final wave, and a blown kiss, she headed inside.
