Staring with wide eyes at Einarth as he came out of the cave and walked over to her, Elizabeth almost thought that he was going to eat her like a piece of kibble. Instead, he just.. sniffed her. She was struck by the hilarity of that simple gesture, making her think of the gigantic dragon as nothing more than a big puppy. Her skirt flew up to dance around her knees when he exhaled, making her squeak slightly and hurry to smooth it out. She looked back up as he spoke, stunned yet again.
"How did you know my name?" she asked in confusion, though she assumed it was the same way that she knew his. The problem was that she had no idea how she knew his. This was so confusing. That was when the more important part of what he had said caught her attention. "Wait.. R-Rider?" she managed, blinking a few times. Ride? On him? It was like all of her dreams were coming true at once and now she wasn't really sure if hitching a ride on a dragon was a great idea. She had never even managed to ride a horse without getting thrown off repeatedly.
Glancing around behind her, she almost thought that she could sense the darkness that he spoke of. It was a feeling of horrid foreboding, as if danger was right around the corner. She was picking up on Einarth's feelings without realizing it, but it was enough to coax her into approaching him as he lowered himself.
"I apologize if I hurt you. I don't really know dragon riding protocol," she said, scrambling up and taking a seat. As soon as she settled and felt like she was in a good position, they took off. She didn't even have time to yelp before they were as high as the clouds. It was.. absolutely, positively, the most incredible thing she had ever experienced. She laughed with delight and peeked down over the sides, watching as the Faire disappeared from sight. Pure bliss filled her and she couldn't help but smile, relaxing enough to release him and keep her balance with a deep-seated instinct.
