If you want to get hold of Eleytheria without writing out a post or log then this is the place to do it. This post can also be used to finish off conversations if you like.

[Hearing Eley's words, Zuko is touched by the amount of trust the dragon was putting in him.

Thus when he crouches down, Zuko carefully climbs onto Eley's back. Seeing nothing else to hold onto, his hands grasp the dragon's golden mane.]

[winds_voice]

I recommend that you hold on tightly.

[He warns him as he feels a tightening on his mane. He wouldn't let anything happen to Zuko even if there was an accident but he didn't want to scare him, especially after what had just happened.

Warning given though, Eley spreads his wings and directs the wind directly downwards in a heavy gust, sending them springing up into the air where he'll steadily climb. Once he reaches a suitable altitude he'll go into cruise mode, gliding on a steady breeze as he flies over the enclosure. Everything seemed so distant up here, so quiet. Eley could only imagine what it must be like to fly through the blackened skies of the warzone the draftees had just come back from...]

[Eley will feel Zuko's grip tighten on his mane as they rapidly ascend. The boy's eyes wide as the wind rushes through his hair. He's not frightened but rather... this is exhilarating. A grin finally finding its way onto his face.

Though when Eley levels out, he looks down, seeing the village below.]

This is great! It's different from riding on Appa!

[He shouts as the rushing wind is loud in his ears. This must have been what it was like when his great grandfathers rode their own dragons. Eley is considerably swifter and more agile than the large sky bison.]

[winds_voice]

Ah, the bison?

[One advantage to speaking directly into his mind was that the wind would not mean he had to strain to listen. As for Appa, he had seen the animal by Aang's side numerous times, but had never had the opportunity to ride on him himself.]

I imagine he is far more sedate in his movements. He is stable, yet I am unpredictable.

[Up here, Eley was in his element, quite literally. He was more comfortable in this form too and it tended to bring out a more mischievous side to him. So though Zuko can't see it, there may be a hint of a smirk on the dragon's lips as he suddenly makes a dive for the nearby lake, his speed increasing all the while as he threatens to make impact! Though just as he reaches the surface he skims the water, sending it spraying high around them and leaving them ascending into a fine rain of droplets back into the clouds.]

[lordhotman]

[Yeah he would have to agree with that. Appa's flying is generally slower and less agile than the sleek dragon is capable of.

The sudden dive catches him off guard and Zuko's eyes go wide. Eley will feel him clinging to his neck, though a grin spreads across the boy's face. A hand reaching out as they skim across the water, the spray from the lake hitting his fingers.

Laughter then fills the air as they ascend again, while Zuko shakes the water from his hair. ]
