Corra's face turned a light pink as Weyrlingmaster Kathrein made her the center of attention. Her and Eileith? Go first? Taking a deep breath to calm the fluttering that had just appeared in her stomach, Corra moved a distance away from the group so that she had room to harness Eileith. Eileith, we're going first...
The young gold, who had been sunning herself with a few of her clutchmates, brought her head up from her forelegs. Her eyes whirled a slow blue with orange creeping in slowly as she felt her lifemates growing nervousness. I'm coming. Eileith was always short and to the point when she spoke as she was not one to mince words or speak unless she had to. Shaking herself to get rid of some dirt on her legs, she trotted over to Corra, slowing down slightly as she got closer to the group, only stubbing a toe once on the way. Walking is always difficult for dragons, especially ones that are growing so fast that they don't have time to adjust to their own size before they hit another growth spurt.
Corra couldn't keep a smile from forming on her face as Eileith came to a stop beside her and began to assist her rider in getting the riding harness on. They had practiced this many times before, so it was a relatively easy process. After a few minutes, Corra finished buckling everything up and motioned Eileith to the Dragonhealer. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the gold. Granted, she had had a dry patch of skin on the base of her left wing this morning, but Corra had oiled it liberaly before breakfast.
Coming to a stop in front of Caslynne, Corra gave a small, respectful curtsy to the Dragonhealer. It looked slightly ridiculous, seeing as she was in riding gear, but Pern's newest goldrider was still not used to her elevated position in life and had yet to let go of the etiquette that had been ingrained into her as an Apprentice Harper. "Eileith is ready for inspection." Not one to speak up much herself in a public situation, Corra waited for Caslynne to give her and Eileith the "OK" to go ahead with the flight.
