Welcome, Dragon Rider. He felt that those words were needed, required by the tension of the situation. He smiled and pulled his hood down, shooting a defiant glance at Arya, and keeping the strip of cloth over the tips of his ears and forehead.

Milliana felt herself blush a little and quickly looked down at her dragon, who stared back at her with a knowing gaze. Resisting the sudden urge to throttle the creature, she took a deep breath and replied, "It only seems fair. I wouldn't want my new friend to end up with a name they dislike."

He felt amused at her reaction, and allowed himself a small smile as she looked at her dragon. He remembered Fafnir and quickly linked thoughts, showing Fafnir the baby dragon. You shouldn't be there, Rolf. Fafnir warned, but Rolf could sense Fafnir's pleasure and looked down. It's fine, and I might as well see the next Riders, no harm in that. He thought, directing the words at Fafnir, who reluctantly pulled away, and Rolf guessed that Fafnir was just teasing him, as Fafnir often was. “You excited for your training?”

"Excited. Nervous. Terrified." Milliana laughed hollowly, violet eyes blank. She was completely focused on her dragon once again as it held her gaze, it's dark blue eyes meeting her purple ones. It wasn't quite telepathy, yet, but whatever it was, it was strong.

And also kind of adorable.

Rhaegar had been overhearing this conversation and realized,'What if I had wrongly named him! Oh no.' Rhaegar let him off his shoulder and looked his new friend in the eyes,"I don't know if you can understand me but if you can,would you please roar twice if you like your name."

He watched as the little green dragon tilted his head but eventually the dragon would begin to roar twice in a long intervals. Rhaegar smiled and looked at his new friend,"Xoloron."

Xoloron gave him a look as if he had known him for Rhaegar's whole life.

"I think we'll be fine."He smiled and then looked back to Milliana and the strange man,"Come on bud get up here."He patted his shoulder and lowered himself a bit so the dragon could leap up his back,"Your first challenge."

Xoloron roared triumphantly as he reached his shoulder, acting as if he had conquered a mountain.

Rhaegar patted Xolorons tiny head and then headed over to the two,"I don't mean to impede but I was just wondering who might be, and why did you speak in that language?"

“All good responses,” Rolf laughed quietly, making it slightly hoarser to better match the way humans laughed and looked at the sky, praying to the Gods that Fafnir wouldn't come to check on him. He looked at the dragon's eyes, meeting them evenly. “Kvetha, skulblaka,” he whispered, lowering his voice so that not even the Rider would be able to hear him. “So,” he went on, “I'm Rolf,” he finished, even though he knew that she would undoubtedly hear his name again.

Elliot looked around at the other Riders. They were all cuddling and cooing their dragons. Which was kinda ironic, because in a few months, they would be bigger than their riders. Nonetheless, they were cute.

Arya clapped her hands together loudly to get the riders attention. "Alright, Riders," she said with authority, "Now that you all have your dragons, it is time to head to Ellesmere," she gestured to her dragon. "Hop on."

Caught! Rolf thought, shaking his head. “I'm Rolf, and that's... a good question. It's the Ancient Language, the language of elves, Riders and magic,” he replied, blinking his blue eyes at the rather noisy dragon on the boy's shoulder. “But it's not my place to teach. You'll learn more about that later,” Rolf finished. Now even he was having his doubts about this, and realized that if he'd just kept his mouth shut, he'd be at less risk of having his cover blown. He looked up. “Anyways, I'll be seeing you all later, I can promise you that,” he said, winking slyly, then spun about, quick and agile as a cat, and raced off, moving faster than any human could've, running back to Fafnir and greeting the crimson black and silver dragon, twisting his hand over his chest before climbing on and settling himself on Fafnir's shoulders, strapping himself into the saddle and waiting. Rolf, you really had to do that? Do you know what Arya would say about this if she saw you? Fafnir hummed affectionately, and Rolf groaned. I know, but it's not like I can help it! I had to see! Rolf protested, watching the skies for Arya and the new Riders, planning to trail them, hidden above the clouds and keep an eye out for danger.

"Milliana." She smiled at him, the first time since she'd hatched the egg. It was nice to talk to someone who had knowledge of dragon riders, but wasn't one himself. As far as she knew, anyway.

Milliana stared in surprise. She got to ride Fírnen? To Ellesmere? Getting a little light-headed with elation, she started towards the green dragon and carefully climbed up, helping her own dragon up first. The little creature settled between her legs, resting their head on her thigh and watching the ground below with wide, innocent eyes.

[Captain Toad]

Elliot's heart skipped a beat as she heard she got to ride Fírnen to Ellesmere, the home of all elves. The large emerald green dragon stretched out a wing to help her climb up. Eyes wide, she clambered up and sat herself down.

Rhaegar watched the strange man run off and Xoloron roared after him as if to scare him further away, but really it might just make him laugh,"Calm down, he wasn't here to hurt anyone."His eyes narrowed as the man disappeared.

Rhaegar heard the call of Arya and watched as Milliana ran off to hop on the dragon,"I guess we should go to, huh?" Xoloron didn't necessarily acknowledge him but he did give a nod which Rhaegar took as a yes.

Rhaegar ran to Firnen, Xoloron clinging to his shoulder looking at the huge dragon and then leaping off his shoulder onto the dragons back,"Get back here!"Rhaegar called after Xoloron but he had already climbed up its back and had started up its neck,'What are you doing?'He thought but he knew he had to get him back. He carefully crawled up Firnen, making sure not to get cut on the scales and then he carefully walked as fast he could towards its neck. By the time he reached it Xoloron was almost halfway up and was roaring the whole way up.
