Exton

Once outside Raina whistles for Dragon, the sound actually more of a strange warbling noise. It takes only a few minutes before Raina hears the sound of her wings and her large shadow partially blocks the sun to the people on the ground.

Guunnar's eyes are wide as he watches Raina with her dragon. Once she lands she rubs his head, scratching the green scales of her snout as if she were no more than an oversized horse.

Raina jumps on Dragon's back and looks to Guunnar. “Come on. We dont have all day.”

“You vant me to get on that beast? And fly there? What if I fall off...” Guunnar looks nervously around, “Vhere is my horse?”

Raina smiles, “You wont fall, and dont call her a beast. It makes her unhappy. You dont want her breathing fire all over the place, do you?”

Guunnar still isnt convinced and approaches the dragon warily. He jumps when she turns her head back to sniff at him.

“Mein Gott, Raina, dont let it eat me..”

Laughing Raina holds out a hand, “Come on. Erik just called Phoenix and you wanna talk about some fire breathing. Wait until you see him.”

Guunnar takes Rainas hand and scrambles up onto Dragon's back. He wraps his arms tight around Rainas waist, “I dont vant to see the other one..”

Dragon spreads her wings and in no time they are far above the tavern, circling around, waiting for Erik and Star.

Raina glances back at Guunnar, who is mumbling in German with his eyes closed tight. “Open your eyes Guunnaar, take a look. The city looks so small from up here.”

She can feel Guunnar slowly start to relax, some of his unease lessened by his wonder at the view. Raina sees Phoenix rising from the ground and turns to Guunnar, “Okay, hang on. We fly pretty fast. And if you get motion sick dont you dare puke on me, I'll push you off myself.”

“Motion sick? Vhat is....” and with a roar Dragon takes off, flying fast, Guunnar clinging to Raina, his face white as a ghost.
