"Etoile, will you watch where you put your furry butt!" Kassandra exclaimed as the feline sauntered across her desk and flopped in the middle of the letter home that she was writing. Leaping with a yowl, Etoile skidded off toward the green-blue, currently lazing in her side of the weyr. Why don't we just visit your mother? It would be easier than having to use those annoying flits. Kelekonath remarked sleepily as the feline scrabbled over her, finding warm sanctuary within her wings. Augel had already found his favorite warm spot in Kele's folded front arms. Sighing, Kassandra stood and paced the room. "Because, I have classes that I teach here, plus drills and other things. You know I can't just up and leave!"

Well, you just might have no choice because I think I want to leave, now! the green-blue dragoness shouted with unusual anger and rose swiftly, dislodging both creatures who shrieked and yowled in indignation, Etoile running for the bed and Augel taking wing to Kassandra's shoulder. "What are you talking about?" she shouted back and Kelekonath stuck her massive head in the archway between the rooms. I wish to go now, to...to Starburst Weyr! To the Spring Fling Frenzy!

"A frenzy, but that means..." Kele' opened her mouth in a mute bugle of frustration. All that came out was a faint whistle. Yes, yes, yes, I'm rising! And that is where I want to rise! Come now, we must go! She offered her foreleg to Kassandra to mount. "Let me tell Yassorth where we're going first..." She reached out mentally to the bronze but was surprised to find Kelekonath's mind blocking hers. He...cannot come...The flight only allows certain colors, spring colors of light blues, yellows, greens and purples. They would not allow a bronze. I'm sorry... The dragoness sounded sincere, she had always liked Yassorth. "Then why can't you rise here? Or somewhere else!" Tears came to Kassandra's eyes and Kele' crooned softly at her sadness. She couldn't believe Kelekonath would do this to her!

I am sorry mine, it is where I feel I must go. I can't fight it... She lowered her head, eyes spinning a worried purple. Kassandra sighed, defeated. "Okay...okay, we'll go. But next time..." The green-blue rumbled. Next time we will rise somewhere Yassorth can chase, I promise. "Very well, but let's not tell Y'les or Yassorth...they'll be hurt." Kelekonath nodded. To Starburst Weyr...
