Trying valiantly to catch some thread, your dragon flames a bit sooner than you would have preferred. Surprisingly enough, the flame is long, hot, and sustained longer than usual. Your dragon manages to flame the clump and return to their position in their wing. [+1 Flame Length]
Though Y’qua wasn’t keen on staying in this habit of flaming thread early, he couldn’t deny that Heimdath wasn’t showing excellent results. The green gave a pleased hum, watching her recent result happily before turning her attention back.

You're low on firestone! If you've already replenished recently (within the last 5 posts) you may choose to skip this roll and just do a general post for no XP. OR you can keep it and blame it on a faulty bag, or some other excuse for being without stone. [Skip due to recent restock]
They just have to get through this, that's all. R'gal continued to scan the horizon for any incoming thread, doing what he could to soothe Yihoth's bleeding hearts in the meantime. The giant Brown always did feel these kinds of things keenly, and R'gal hoped there was some way he could help take Yihoth's mind off their recent loss.

Your dragon is effortlessly flaming Thread. Honestly, they almost seem to make it look easy. Both you and your dragon start to feel more confident, and even start to get a bit cocky. Low Altitude Wing was always the easiest wing to fly. Unfortunately for you....
4. Appear from Between directly into a clump of Thread. There is no avoiding the tangles, and you and your dragon are scored in multiple areas. [Major Damage -8 HP!]
Though Heimdath was not a cocky dragon, far from it in fact, she was getting ahead of herself -- and it was only a matter of time before she popped from between on what should have been an easy flame, only to appear and collide into the mass. She screeched, as it laced across her collar tried to sink into Y’qua’s knees, wrapping around his calves and biting into his leathers.
Y’qua gave a shout, urging Heimdath back to High Reaches, and they were gone to the safety of between.

Your dragon notices a sudden writhing stream of silver thread out of the corner of his or her eye. If a white, green, or blue, with surprising grace, they turn on a wingtip and manage to flame it to ash. You successfully flame it down. [+2 Target Accuracy] If a brown or bronze, you find yourself unable to dodge, and take a hit! [Minor Damage if Bronze - 1 HP // Moderate Damage if Brown - 3 HP]
It was approaching the end of the hour, G'rey knew. Soon it would be time for them to replace the High Altitude Wing, more well rested thanks to fighting less wind so close to the ground. But he also knew he needed to keep a close eye on Karhath - that brief bout of fatigue had spooked him well enough, and he'd already managed to obtain a few injuries. Not severe ones, but they would certainly need treated at some point. It remained to be seen just how soon they would return to the Weyr Bowl to seek treatment.
And as if jinxing himself, he noticed Karhath tilt his head just a moment too late. His dragon had spied out of the corner of his eye what G'rey hadn't - a stream of thread heading right in their direction. Karhath twisted in the air, but even for a small brown his bulk was just too great to get entirely out of the way in time. There was a bugle of pain as the thread caught him along the front of his wing, and they blinked between to kill it. Again, G'rey turned to assess the injury in the sky - not nearly as large or angry-looking as the first hit Karhath had taken, but it was another threadscore.
And on the wing, no less.
Can you stay in the air?
This is not enough to bring me down, G'rey-mine.

Something doesn't feel right. You wind up glancing over your shoulder just in time to see a small, silver strand drifting dangerously close to your dragon. Thankfully, your dragon shares your thoughts, and is able to blink Between and higher above their position, missing the strand, and saving yourself from a score. [+1 Instinct]
R'gal was thankful that he'd kept his head on a swivel--one quick look over his shoulder came just in time to catch a glimpse of a scrap of thread floating down, and Yihoth is quick to react. They're between in an instant, reappearing above it safely; Yihoth breathes a small puff of fire toward the offending strand, ensuring it wouldn't surprise anyone else on its way down.

The pain was starting to ease up a little bit and the little bronze could feel a hand rubbing up and down the one swirled marking on his left side. It was gone on the right thanks to threadscore but R'iz had often rubbed his hands over those darker markings when the dragon was younger in an attempt to ease Bossuth's pain, whatever it might have been.

Shaking his head at last, the pain finally dulling down to a low throb that he could manage, Bossuth scorched thread before himself and had instant regrets. It flew back into his face. It's fine! R'iz managed, his left hand hadn't stopped making the same pattern on his hide despite his attentiveness. It was almost an involuntary motion anymore.

Boss! Boss! Next time go a little bit slower alright? R'iz grumped when the dragon belched forth a flame that seared out longer than the redhead had seen before. While it was nice to know his bronze was capable of such a thing, Bossuth also burned straight through all his flame and needed fire stone faster than he might have. Which made it almost pointless.

CRUNCH.
Okay, this is why I was warning you.
Bossuth, mild mannered and gentle and shy, unleashed a torrent of obscenities.

It had become a sort of dance, an instinctive sort of dance that the pair were doing. One would warn the other and then they'd hop Between to avoid a strand. Sometimes they were able to flame the same strand, other times they let a wingmate catch it in the interest of stopping something else from getting through. But it became a bit comfortable. That's where F'nar should have started to worry.

F'nar knew something was going to happen when they'd begun to feel comfortable, he should have known a lot sooner of course. He reached down into the sack of fire stone and nothing was there, nothing at all. In fact there was a hole in the bottom. That was par for the course.
Lazily, gently, Neirinth reached out for a weyrling and a zippy blue and his rider came soaring through the air to deliver a new one. A flash of pale blue hide and speckles that seemed to be nothing but a blur in their entire time nearby, the pair popped out of sight again before they even knew it.
Those two are in a rush to go go go. Neirinth sounded amused as he said it, accepting the tossed stone with ease.

Maybe quickness did pay off in some cases, for Neirinth found a clump falling that had made it through the other two wings and down to him. If they'd been out of fire stone as they had been he wouldn't have been able to erupt in the large flame that seared it out of the sky so quickly. He certainly didn't want that falling down to the Queen's Wing below and risking one of them.
It has it's place and time, certainly. F'nar admitted, though he was never much in a rush unless it was to save a wingmate.

Neirinth had fought in enough falls to know that when he bit his tongue it wasn't the end of the world, but Faranth help him it always felt like it in the moment. He tried to think of good thoughts as his tongue throbbed in his mouth, making his rider a bit hazy from pain as well.
Puffy clouds, fresh oilings, glass blue hearts.... What?
