It wasn't until he'd already been integrated into the all-Gold formation that R'cas realized that he hadn't thought this completely through.  And by the time he was on the ground, he knew that he was probably going to get a talking-to for his recklessness.<br/><br/>"I am sorry, milady.  I was unaware that you were practicing with your wing - when last I saw you, it was just yourself and Rue'na who were headed out."<br/><br/>Despite the recent events, R'cas did his best to mask his own feelings.<br/><br/>"I apologize for interrupting Wing practice.  I will be on my way shortly."<br/><br/>As the two riders talked, so did the dragons.<br/><br/><em>I apologize, Malieth, for our recklessness.  But, my rider's heart and mind are troubled right now, and you know how such troubles can cloud the judgment of even the best rider.  He merely did not want to be alone. He is not himself right now - rest assured, I will do everything in my power to see him right as rain again. </em>
