As the younger rider ran off, R'cas responded.  "Tr'an, stop!  Listen to me!"<br/><br/>It did no good - coming off the floor, R'cas chased him.<br/><br/><em>Iantoth, get ready!  We're going to need to get airborne in a hurry!</em><br/><br/><em>What's going on?  I thought you were helping somebody!</em>The dragon sounded alarmed.<br/><br/><em>I was!  It just went wrong!</em><br/><br/><em>Went wrong how?</em><br/><br/><em>I was trying to let them down gently, and it just went up in my face!</em><br/><br/>Seeing Tr'an and his dragon take off, R'cas wasn't far behind.  He jumped on Iantoth, and went through the motions for takeoff...no response.  He tried again.  Still nothing.<br/><br/><em>Iantoth, what are you DOING!?  We've got to follow!</em><br/><br/><em>No, partner.</em>The collected voice of the blue dragon rang clearly in R'cas' head.  His rider's constant attempts to prod him into takeoff were annoying, but he ignored them.<br/><em><br/>Damn it, Iantoth, listen to me!  I have to help him! He might hurt himself!</em><br/><br/><em>Let him go, dear one.</em><br/><br/>R'cas stopped upon hearing the rarely-used term between the two of them.<br/><br/><em>You say you want to help him, but you could no more help how you want to than fight a Threadfall on your own.</em><br/><br/><em>Then what am I supposed to do?</em><br/><br/><em>Let it go - time heals all things, from the slightest scratch, to the most broken heart.</em><br/><br/><em>I...suppose you're right.  Let's go.  Maybe if we hurry, we can catch K'lar and Rue'na...</em><br/><br/>With that, the pair took off into the sky, chasing the pair of Golds.<br/><br/>
