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

"Great, she can go with you then," Dimitri said, not giving Celeste a chance to answer, as he turned around then and got on his bike, "Nice meeting you both," he said as he started up his bike and took off without a goodbye, see you later, or anything of the sort.

"Well... " Celeste said rather bemused, "That was... rather rude," she said, shaking her head at Dimitri's departure. She then glanced at Roldan sheepishly, "Sorry about that, for Dimitri, and yes, I don't mind flying again," she told him quite truthfully.

"I hope I am not inconveniencing you in any way?" she added, thinking that she could always just have him drop her in town and she could call a taxi or ask Zora to come pick her up somewhere.

When Roldan told her that she wasn't inconveniencing him, Celeste felt happily relieved at this. She had been slightly worried that Dimitri had just put him on the spot somehow by taking off as he had.

Watching as Roldan changed or half changed into his dragon form, Celeste stepped back a little in surprised awed. Looking at him for a second, Celeste found that despite the fact he looked slightly demonic, she found him also quite attractive for some reason, it was an odd thought that caught her off guard.

"No, you don't need to transform, not at all," Celeste said as she looked him over again, and felt herself blush a lightly, "I think, uh, I'd rather you hold onto me than ride on your back," she admitted, feeling weirdly shy for some reason at the thought of him holding her as he took her home.

Celeste just nodded in understanding at the handsy comment, and let Roldan pick her up, basically and literally sweeping her off her feet, while Celeste instinctively placed her arms around his neck. Looking at him when he asked if she was comfortable, Celeste nodded again, she was sure she was blushing again, extremely aware of where she was and how close she was to him. It was innocent by all definitions, but at the same time, she was feeling rather like one of her starstruck students when their crush entered the room.

"Thanks for this, for taking me home..." Celeste finally said as she looked at him and smiled, "And I'll be fine, fly normally if you want, you don't need to worry about me, I'll be fine." she told him, tightening her grip on his neck, feeling that it was true, that she was safe and that he'd not let anything happen to her.

"I will," Celeste said with a smile as she actually relaxed somewhat when she felt Roldan tighten his grip on her. Now kind of knowing what to expect, she actually did not close her eyes this time when Roldan took off and started his fairly swift ascent.

When they were airborne, Celeste couldn't help but look straight down, this act actually caused her to feel a bit dizzy and jerk back quickly. Gripping Roldan's neck instinctively Celeste pulled herself against him deciding not to do that again.

After a bit, she started to relax again and looked at Roldan curiously, "You know, until today, I was terrified of heights, well, I still am not great with them," she admitted, "But today has helped me a lot, I think," she told him as she looked upwards amazed that they were as high up as they were and sh did not feel too panicky.

Snuggling into him when Roldan sped up, Celeste just relaxed comfortably in his arms as he flew them into the city. Glancing downwards when she felt him descending, Celeste noticed that they were landing in Oceana park which was a comfortable twenty minute to half-hour walk away from where she lived.

Standing up when Roldan set her down, Celeste watched quietly as he changed back into his human form.

"A walk home sounds perfect," Celeste admitted as she eyed Roldan openly and with interest. It was funny but she couldn't really recall that any man had offered to walk her home before. It was a curious sensation indeed, Roldan was way more formal and kind than she had thought, and found that quality about him extremely attractive.

"Though it's finally getting dark," Celeste said as she looked round the park which had very few people about and nodding. The days were definitely getting shorter, "Hopefully not too dark," she smiled.

"Shall we go, perhaps?"
