Rademerth had known Eillispeth all his young life and she was one of
the few dragons he had respect for. Now he was seeing her in a new
way. }:Eillispeth, you are pretty,:{ he said as he joined her on the
heights. Time to practice the flirting Jodeth had talked about.

"Yes, I am," Eillispeth replied smugly and groomed her spring-green
hide. She never been the modest type. "You are growing up to big one,"
she complimented back, eyeing the blue with admiration. Yes, he was
growing into a fine blue.

He puffed himself up, trying to look even bigger. }:I am big and
strong, and a good flier. I will catch you when you rise.:{

}: You're welcome to try, I'm not easy to catch, :{ Eillie answered
with amused tone. He was so young. His puffing was endearing though.
And she had always liked big and strong...which is why her rider now
and then ended up with brown- or bronzeriders.

Rademerth realized he had a perfect opportunity. }: How do you choose
the winners of your flights?:{

}: I pick up the one who pleases me most. Who it is varies. I do
observe who is strong, handsome and big. Sometimes the faster, smarter
ones manage to surprise me and I let them have me, because if they are
sneaky and clever enough to outwit me, they'll deserve to win, :{
Eillie replied. }: I like Galerith a lot and he's big and strong
blue, so he's won my flights many times. I like Hasaarth too, but he
doesn't chase me that often, : { Eillie sighed.

}:I am already big and strong and handsome. I can be clever, too!:{ He
needed to have every advantage so Camilth couldn't possibly choose
another male.

}: You're young one, :{ Eillie pointed out but she did nuzzle closer to him.

He crooned his pleasure and rubbed his head against her neck. }:Jodeth
said greens like to be flattered. Do you like to be flattered?:{

}: Of course I like being flattered, :{ Eillispeth replied. }: Just
don't overdo it, if you exaggarate too much it turns ridicilous and
isn't flattering anylonger. :{ She did her best to instruct the young
blue.

}:You are pretty and smart. Is that good flattering?:{

}: Yes, it is, :{ Eillie purred. }: You learn fast, :{ she was good at
flirting too.

He crooned and rubbed against her neck. }:I am very good at learning.:{

}: Indeed. :{ Next time Eillie would Rise, she would give Rademerth a
serious consideration...if she remember this.

}:Flirting is more fun than I thought.:{ He thought it would be work,
like learning formations or how to chew firestone.

}: Flirting is great fun, :{ Eillie commented sagely.
