"Hey you." Karri all but purred as she looked up into U'kaiah's face. She was snuggled up against him, resting in the nook of his arm. She wasn't quite sure if he was awake, and if he wasn't, then she was more than happy to just lay there next to him and relish in the afterglow of her first flight. "Hey there," he murmured, his eyes still closed, relaxed and completely satisfied. "How are you feeling?"

Karri smiled, "I feel perfect." "It was a very good flight," U'kaiah agreed with a lazy smile. His bronze was feeling rather smug with himself and it was transferring to his rider as well.

The greenrider couldn't help but grin. "Are they always like that? Or was it just because it was her first?" "The feelings will always be strong like that. Some of it could have been because it was her first. Its new, which always makes things more exciting. And some times are better than others, but in the moment, its fantastic." He reached over to draw a long slow line along her side suggestively. "Sometimes after the flight can be fantastic too."

Karri giggled and batted the hand away, "That tickles!" but it also reignited some of those emotions she'd had during the flight. "How long does this feeling last after the flight?" It was strange, she was completely herself now and yet she didn't _feel_ like herself. "Well, that depends. Do you mean the nice relaxed feeling or the desire to do it all again?" His fingers traced down her arm as he gave her a teasing smile. The greenrider giggled again. "Both?" She'd only ever been intimate with U'kaiah, but her one experience before the flight had been out of necessity. Now she was finding herself in a different sort of position, and it was making her shy. "Well, each person is different, but I'd say for me the desire lasts a candle mark or so unless I do something to elevate it, and the relaxation lasts until you decide you want to do something about the desire." He wiggled his eyebrows at her suggestively.

She hoped she was reading him correctly. "I think... that I'd like to do something about it. If you want to." She added quickly. "I think I really want to," U'kaiah smiled as he leaned down to kiss her. He had taught her the basics before. Perhaps they could expand on that knowledge a bit more.

The greenrider happily returned the kiss and let her hands wander down his chest. On a normal day, she didn't feel anything for the man above friendship, but right now... she wanted him more than she'd ever wanted anyone before. What Karri was just discovering was something U'kaiah had known for Turns - flightlust made one feel on fire in a way few encounters could.
It was rare - not impossible to find outside of a flight chamber, but rare. For example, when U'kaiah tutored this young woman in the ways of male and female relationships, she was sweet and he was happy to do that favor for her. But she was young. Now, with that extra edge, in that moment, she was the sexiest woman he had ever seen and each shy touch burned. And he knew she was feeling it too.

"I'm glad you won, U'kaiah." Karri breathed quietly right before her back arched at the sensations his hands were evoking in her. The bronzerider lifted her face in his hands, his thumb softly caressing the scar along her cheek. "You know, you are a beautiful young woman, Karri," he whispered. And it wasn't all flightlust talking. U'kaiah knew how self-conscious she was about how she looked.
He always thought it had added to the uniqueness of her. Karri felt her eyes swell with tears of happiness as the emotional high reached a peak. No one had ever told her she was beautiful before, and flightlust or not, she believed he meant it, and she was more than happy to show him how much it meant to her to hear it.
