Z'an was put in front when it came to flying the formation back to Dragonhope. Even though it was Aniz and her perfect memory that led them to the right exact spot in time and space, it was he and Torsyth that swept in front and bugled loudly to announce their long awaited arrival.

At least, he hoped it would be awaited... It'd been almost two years, after all. Milonna might have found herself a new guy or some rider...

Oh stop it, she'd never cheat on you, and look - there she is! Torsyth clipped Aniz's gold's wing on his way down to the weyrbowl, where a coppery colored gold was flying upward to meet them.

It was true - they were.... a matching pair! This dark bronze and the speckled gold, they would certainly make a great couple!

Milonna waited on the ground, she hadn't had time to put a riding harness on. Though Reginath was not as big as Aniz's Tripaldi gold, she was more than big enough to be a queen some day! Fortunately that day was not quite yet - both she and Torsyth were too young to really devote to a mating flight. Plus, the copper-gold was not in heat.

When she would be... Even the weyrleader's bronze better look out, because he wouldn't be welcome at that flight!
