Nela walked out of the fire lizard hatching sands at Valley Weyr with three sleeping flitters in her arms, the waiting dragon, black Linerai, and his rider Daneril, seemed to have fallen asleep in the afternoon sun but as she approached him Daneril got up, stretched and walked over to her.
"Three?" He exclaimed, "Three at once? I thought you only wanted the one."
"I did but it just sort of happened." She said with a slightly embarrased smile.
Daneril laughed, "Get up then, we need to get back to Xanther for lunch!"
With Daneril's help Nela got up on Linerai, he followed, leaping up with a kind of natural grace that Nela was envious of. Linerai jumped into the air and Nela held the sleeping fire lizards tightly in her arms as they made their way back to Xanther.
