Date: month 13, day 7 of Turn 3
"Farsith wanted me to ask you if you wanted to join us for the afternoon." Aletta asked, "Fickle's pretty adamant about it too."
"Farsith wanted me?" Figol hadn't really been avoiding the green dragon but ever since her last mating flight and the fallout he and Aletta had, he found it was easier to pretend it had never happened when the green wasn't around.
"Why not, she likes you. Says you make me feel good, and she's right."
Aletta smiled, privately wishing her lifemate was a search dragon.
He felt his cheeks redden and he suddenly found his boots very interesting. "Well," he said finally, what does she want to do?"
"She wants to swim, but, oh so grandly told me, that if we wanted we could stay on shore. Said I should have company." Aletta explained.
Figol remembered that Aletta's choice of swimwear was _nothing_, and while he enjoyed seeing her in such a state, it _was_ inappropriate so he regretfully said, "Let's stay on shore then, we can watch her from the rocks."
"Okay, warning though, Fickle's likely to soak us. She's decided that's her new favorite game."
He laughed, "Well, then... _High_ up on the rocks where she can't reach us!"
A shadow loomed of the pair for a moment. }:Is the music boy going with us?:{ Farsith asked her rider.
"Farsith's ready if you are." Aletta relayed.

The short flight down to the water had been fun. He especially had enjoyed being able to put his arms around Aletta again - so he wouldn't fall off of course. Now as he was sitting, high up, on the rocks watching Fickle try to get Farsith to play with her in the water, he realized how quickly he was able to put the incident with Aletta's flight behind him. He wondered how he would react when Farsith rose again, then decided to just enjoy being with Aletta and quit worrying about the future.
She looked so pretty on the rocks, the wind playing with her hair. On impulse, he reached out and took the hand next to him. When she didn't pull away, he gave her a quick smile before looking back out at the splashing duo.
Aletta smiled back, thrilled that he was more comfortable. "Fickle's persistent isn't she."
"She's going to get herself drowned." He said with a snort.
"She sees nothing wrong with it. Farsith is there for her to play with."
He shook his head laughing, "I'm just saying... She's going to come up here squawking and fighting mad when Farsith swamps her when she's not looking."
Aletta wasn't sure if Farsith heard him or not, but either way she back winged and sent a small flood toward the firelizard and the pair on the rocks. "Great, now your giving _her_ ideas." she teased.
"You missed us!" Figol called to the green mockingly. To Aletta he added, "It's a good thing she's not as big as a bronze or we'd be soaked!"
}:I did not want to get you and the music boy wet. You wish to stay dry.:{ Smiling the greenrider relayed her comments.
Figol gave another snort. "She's just saying that because she missed!"
"She says she didn't miss Fickle."
That elicited a howl of laughter from the harper. When his laughter finally subsided he threw his arms up in surrender. "Who am I to argue with a dragon!"
