Private Finished [agodr] Learning to Fly (with a Dragon)

Celeste quietly watched Roldan out of the corner of her eye, a bit unsure, nervous, about what he might be thinking about her suggestion. Hearing him agree with her idea, filled her with a kind of relief. She had been a little anxious about the idea of him not wanting to see her again.

Lowering her gaze a bit when he moved closer, Celeste nodded and then looked at him when he offered to take her out someplace nice.

"I'd like that," she said truthfully, meeting his gaze, feeling somewhat shy now too. "When did you want to go out?" she asked him curiously.

Celeste looked at Roldan in surprise, "I do know Verger de Pommiers," Celeste said visibly impressed. The restaurant was known for its food. It was also fairly expensive and quite exclusive. "I have not been there yet though," she admitted somewhat shyly, very flattered that he wanted to take her to such a place as a first date.

"Actually.. I am free this weekend, if that's not too soon for you or to find somebody to look after Iesha?" she suggested, thinking that the following week was fairly busy and after that, she wasn't sure. Also, part of her didn't really want to put it off for too long.

"My father can look after Shale, Azure and Ebviony, so that's not too much of a problem, at least for me," she explained, but realising then that Roldan might not be able to find something on such short notice and added, "But, we can do it the weekend after, if that's better for you?"

"Saturday then?" Celeste suggested lightly, smiling then, pleasantly surprised to hear that his family had dinner together on Sundays, thinking that was a really nice custom the Drakenhardts had.

Celeste looked at Roldan, a tiny bit confused, "You can fly without being in your dragon form?" she asked curiously, grinning at this as she looked at him, looked him over half expecting him to sprout wings before her.

"And yes, I'd love to go up again, it was not what I expected, kind of scary at first," she admitted, "But thrilling too."

"That... is quite simply amazing," Celeste admitted with a good-natured laugh when Roldan made his dragon tail appear suddenly. She had never dated somebody like him, a dragon, before and was rather fascinated, intrigued even, by him and everything he could do.

"Saturday afternoon sounds great," Celeste said as she got to her feet, "I should get the bonding out of the way actually. Let Dimitri go," she said as she glanced at the blond-haired man who was looking rather bored while he waited for them.

"If you want to stay, it only takes a few minutes to do... "she explained quickly thinking about the new ability she was getting and how great, but powerful, it was too.

Celeste smiled when he accepted to watch her bond. She knew it wasn't a hugely interesting part of the challenge, but she'd get to try the new power out, and that part excited her. Or at least, learn how it worked.

"Dinitri, I am ready, whenever you are, Mr. Life Weaver," she added with a grin, not caring if it rubbed him wrongly or irritated him.

"Fine, let's get this over with," he said darkly.

"Come, stand here," he told Celeste as he pushing himself up off the bike, "I am just going to put my hand on your chest for a few seconds, okay?" he informed her, not wanting her to think he was getting fresh or taking liberties.

When it was done, Dimitri looked at her, looked around them, saw a butterfly, caught it and closed his hand around it, enough to not quite kill it, but it would die probably if left like it was.

"Put your hand on it like this," he said grabbing her hand, "Now think about what's wrong, and then how it should be," he ordered her.

Hesitantly, Celeste did what he told her, and seconds later the butterfly started to flutter its wings. Celeste could actually feel the extra magic flowing through her and looked at Dimitri in awe.

"There you go, the reverse is true too..." he said with a shrug, "Careful with that though, you might actually end up killing someone, and that'd be bad," he warned her.

"Alright lovebirds, I'm off.." Dimitri said itching to leave, "Take her home?" Dimitri asked Roldan suddenly, hopeful the dragon would take Celeste off his hands so he could leave Manta Carlos soon.
