Drills had barely completed when Saorith decided that she had had _enough_ waiting, discarding all of her usual poise and patience, and screaming defiantly as she took off. Katora watched her beautiful green disappear into the sky for a long moment before someone coaxed her towards the flight rooms.

After that, it all became a dizzying blur. This wasn't Saoirth's first flight, nor Katora's first time with sex, but it was still a disorienting experience. She always felt half in the sky, half on the ground for a bit until she was completely in Saoirth's mind.

Saoirth tore through the sky, evading and twisting away from the males. She was not one for a lengthy flight, deciding midway through a dizzying twist that Adamanth, his metallic hide glinting alluringly in the sun, was a suitable mate for that time.

When the flight at last was over, and Adamanth and Z'renh found themselves fully back in their own heads, Z'renh breathed a heavy and contented sigh.

"Shells. That was amazing." He flashed a silly, afterglow-flooded grin at Katora. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," came the confused, slightly disappointed response. Katora looked everywhere except at Z'renh in that moment as she tried to figure out why, so far, Saoirth's mating flights had been an amazing orgasmic experience for her dragon but not for her rider. Was Katora...doing something wrong?

Uh oh. That did not sound like a very sincere ‘you're welcome’.

"Um... Are you all right? Did I hurt you?" Z'renh was mortified at the possibility that he could have been _bad_ at this, so bad that he actually hurt his flight partner. And wingmate, for that matter.

"You didn't hurt me," came the nonplussed answer. But then, a dreadful pause. "I think something's wrong with me. Or maybe wrong with you. Your parts. I'm not sure." That didn't sound totally believable though. It wasn't the first time Katora had had sex so it made logical sense that it wasn't her partners that were bad, it was her. Or maybe there was a combination of the two?

"Roll over," she commanded him, pushing at his shoulder so that she could toss away the covers and look at his entire body without shame. "Hm..." she hummed as she stared between his legs.

Z'renh blushed deep red and froze. He had never been so... clinically inspected. If she had not prefaced this with, ‘maybe something is wrong with your parts,’ he might have thought something fun was about to happen.

He was neither remarkably well endowed nor poorly, and there was nothing especially unusual about his form or appearance. As far as genitals went, his were fairly nice to look at, and he kept his body hair under control.

Regardless, Katora let out a disappointed huff. "I don't understand," she said. "Why does everyone make such a fuss over something that's so...lackluster?"

"L-lack..." Z'renh was flabbergasted. Who was talking up his bedroom skills? Enough that it could be 'everyone'? And why was Katora so disappointed with the reality of them!? "I didn't realize so many people were... fussing. I'm sorry it didn't live up to the hype."

She gave him a confused look, thinking that his comment was him taking her words as a personal insult. "People talk about sex all of the time. The Weyr is known for its proclivities. The Holds want to pretend that it doesn't happen. We Traders are a little more open out it but it still doesn't explain why everyone makes such a big deal about it when it's just..."

She let out another frustrated exhalation and rolled off of the bed. "I'm sure your previous partners have said glowing things about your performance," she remarked neutrally as she roused Saoirth and located her pants.

Z'renh breathed a sigh of relief that was almost a laugh.

"Shells. I thought-- I mean, it sounded like you were saying the whole Weyr was talking behind my back about how bad I am in the furs," he said. "But you're just saying you don't get what all the fuss about sex is. Have you ever done anything else besides, you know, the 'main event'?"

Katora canted her head to the side. "What 'main event'?" she asked in confusion.

Z'renh sputtered for a second as he coped with the very idea of not knowing which part was the main event.

"You know... the penis-in-vagina part. Have you done other stuff besides that?"

Her dark eyes squinted in wariness. "There wasn't much privacy to do stuff besides that -- or even that -- in a Trader's caravan," she pointed out. And yes, she had had a few quick tumbles before becoming a dragonrider but the issue still remained. It had always seemed good for her partner but lackluster for her.

"Well... Do you want to try something else? Something that's just for you? Well." Z'renh grinned. "It's not _just_ for you. I love doing it. But you wouldn't have to do anything for me."

The wariness in her eyes deepened. "What do you mean?"

Z'renh held his hands up defensively.

"I just mean, you know, mouth stuff? Eating you out? I'm not trying to make it weird, I swear-- I'm just trying to help."

But it was making it weird. The thought of his mouth near...there...was just...

"Ew," Katora said flatly. She shrugged on her shirt. "I'll pass, thank you."

}: Sorry, Adamanth, :{ Saoirth apologized to the beautiful bronze who had caught her as she untangled herself. }: We can cuddle another time. :{

Z'renh tried not to take the dismissal too personally, but. Ew? That was hard to shrug off.

Adamanth was not finished cuddling. But cuddles were not something one could demand. They would never be the same if they were mandatory. He grumbled, but he helped Saoirth to get up.

"A-all right, well... Uh... thanks again. I'm sorry it wasn't... yeah..." Z'renh, too, stood and dressed, feeling awkward enough that he turned his back while he did.

Katora brushed it off with an almost indifferent, "It's fine," as she went over to her waiting dragon.
