"Um... I suppose I should head back before my nest class begins." Mia said sweetly, smiling at him still as she stood up, holding her harp in her hands.

Tyr nodded with a smile, "In that case, let me take you back to the campus. I should be heading back by now as well."
"Hey, sweetheart...may you take us back to the campus?" Tyr spoke with his dragon, Orlith, in his mind.
"You know how I dislike carrying strangers on my back, Tyr."
"I know, I know...just this once alright?"
"Fine..." With that, Orlith took off from her resting place in the surrounding woodlands to pick both her Rider and his friend.
Tyr smiled to himself and watched his silver Orlith land near them. "Come, Mia. It would be faster to ride there." he then offered her his hand.

Mia looked a bit surprised as her cheeks turned a bit pink. Not wanting to be rude, Mia accepted his hand and allowed him to lead her to the dragon. She had never seen a dragon so close before, though she had seen them looking down from Heaven before, never knowing she'd be given the chance to ride one.

Tyr helped Mia mount Orlith before mounting the dragon and settling behind his friend. "Are you alright?" He asked while chuckling at the inherent silence of the girl, "No worries...Orlith is the best flyer you'll ever meet."
Tyr then made a gesture that Orlith understood as a command to stand and get ready for flight.

Mia held her small harp close to herself with one arm, placing the other on the dragon just in front of her, her cheeks clearly pink now. "I've never.... been near a dragon before...." She said a bit quietly. "Orlith..... Is rather stunning...." she added.

Orlith curled her neck to look back on the girl on her back. She blinked her great eyes and spoke through her thoughts, "I thank you for the compliment..."
"Always the lover of compliments, Orlith?"
Orlith rumbled and spoke to both her passengers, "Of course, I'm a dragon after all."
Tyr chuckled and told Mia, "Hold on..." And with that, he ordered Orlith to take off.

Mia tried to hold on, as Tyr said, a bit nervous and blushing still as she watched closely as the dragon prepared to take off, a bit excited and nervous at the same time, smiling slightly.

With a few wing beats, Tyr smiled at the gained altitude Orlith conquered. The Silver Dragon remained still up on the clouds, hovering leisurely with slow yet powerful wing strokes. Tyr nudged the side of Orlith's neck as a command to move forward. They may be able to communicate through minds but as Rider and Dragon, they also communicate using physical signals.
Orlith tore through the skies. In no time, she was hovering over the class buildings. Such was the speed of the Weyrleader's dragon.
"Orlith...drop down a bit, if you will." Tyr asked. He then leaned forward a bit to speak to Mia's ear, "Orlith cannot land on the school roof, so I will have to slowly lower you. Are you alright with that?"

Mia blushed slightly, smiling. "That's fine.... And if I need to, although they are small, my wings can carry me a small distance anyway...." She said a bit quietly, waiting to be told what to do to get back down.

Tyr smiled, "I'll make sure you won't have to use them..." He then circled an arm around her, "Take my hand and slowly dismount. Don't be afraid...I have you."

Mia blushed somewhat as she did what Tyr instructed. "Thank you, Tyr...." Mia said a bit quietly "And you too, Orlith." She added, smiling at them both.

"Thank you for the relaxing music, Mia." He smiled as he leaned down to lower her further to solid ground, holding her hand tightly as he did.
Orlith watched as Mia was lowered to the ground and nodded at the thanks.
"I'll see you later!" Tyr waved and ordered Orlith to fly towards her home. With a strong flap of Orlith's wings, they left.

"Goodbye." Mia called a bit quietly just before they started to head off. She stood on the ground, looking down at the small harp in her arms before then heading towards her next class with a slight smile still on her face.
