"I know she doesn't want more," she confirmed with a little. "I can't blame her. Two flits already and two babies? My poor aunt has her hands full already." And there was her dragon to take care of, too, and her duties as a wingrider. Elibrie couldn't imagine she had time for much of anything.
"M-me?" She blinked wide eyes at Juhvek's suggestion, not scandalized but somewhat flustered. "I don't think a blue would want someone like me." It was hard to let go of the convictions she'd been raised on, the idea that girls belonged on golds and nothing else; a woman on a fighting dragon, even a green, just hadn't been considered appropriate. Which left her with the internal conflict that it was gold or nothing, but if she was being honest with herself, a gold wouldn't want someone like her anymore than a blue would. Goldriders were beautiful, glamorous, important women, heroines of both adventures and romantic tales.
Making it harder still was just how in love she'd been with Zenobiath's hatchlings of every color. Every baby dragon was undeniably delightful. But the chances of one ever being for her were just so terribly slim, so she tried not to think about it too much, and just keep her head down and go about her duties as a Candidate while she waited for whatever would happen to happen.

Elibrie struggled to answer. Not because she didn't have an answer, or some semblance of one, but because it bordered and disagreeing. On the other hand, he'd asked, so she had to answer, although she was clearly uncomfortable, focusing her gaze on Lord Chomps and petting him to occupy her hands. "I don't- It's just- It's just not proper, that's all." Not that she disapproved of other girls on fighting dragons, but for her? It just seemed impossible. "Maybe they'll look, but I'm sure they'll...they'll know I'm not right for them."
Blue, gold, green, brown - what would any of them want with her?
