"It won't be a functional challenge, although if you remain distant you would be hard-pressed to get to know your squadmates."
He stopped in front of a rather simple door, labelled "Skye".
"Are you ready for the next step?"

She was quiet at his remark. It was an obstacle she hadn't anticipated -- needing to get to know her fellow warriors. Of course, there was a level of camaraderie in the Rangers, but she had a feeling it was not such as what Calgary expected from her.
In short, Eilagwen was suddenly aware that she would be the weakest chain in the link if she did not somehow manage to get to know her colleagues. Suddenly, Eilagwen was unsure if the path she was taking was the right one, and she was too honest not to say something, even if it meant that she'd be dismissed from the Dawn Riders.
"No," she answered Calgary shortly, sweeping her gaze from the door marked 'Skye' to the Acting Commodore's face. "I believe I may have unintentionally wasted your time, Acting Commodore. I have not spent much time living among humans, and I think that perhaps leaping into the Dawn Riders is a foolish action for me to take given how unfamiliar and foreign I still am to the culture."
She wasn't looking for him to reassure her, she wasn't even looking for him to take a chance on her. In fact, she'd prefer it if he didn't feel as if he were taking a chance, but instead feel confident in her as a choice. "I would like to ask instead that I be stationed with a less prestigious unit until I can acclimate myself to what might be expected of the warrior class of this nation."

"No such thing as wasting my time if it helped you. I won't convince you to change your mind, but one of the Centurions in the Army should be able to provide the same service I did this morning."
Less prestigious then the Dawn Riders was literally every other unit in the Isran military, but the legions sounded more like her speed anyway.
"There is also the Sun Marshals, they do not operate in teams at all."

"Thank you, Acting Commodore. And thank you for your time." She bowed to him with deep respect, and the stoic, placid elven woman immediately turned to walk away. She was struggling to find a place to fit in, felt uncomfortable with all of the emotions and the apparent sentimental needs of the humans she now lived among.
It was unlikely that she'd venture to the Centurions, or the Sun Marshals. For now, Eilagwen felt... adrift. But she'd ask for no help, nor indicate needing any beyond a vague mention. She was too independent for that, and had been raised not to rely on others.

"Of course Eilagwen, you know where my office is now, so let me know if you need anything further."
He watched her walk away for a few moments before a screeching noise on the other side of the door reminded him that he had yet to feed Skye her breakfast. Calgary grabbed a large chunk of meat from a nearby bin and carried it into the enclosure.

Physical Description: The elf was of tanned skin, his hair was brushed back and so blonde it seemed white. He had a scar that started under his right eye and ended half way down his angular face. His cheekbones were high and his face long. His upper body was much bulkier than other elves she had known but his legs were just as gangly. Though you could hardly tell with the thickness of his grieves. Looking at his eyes, they are large like most elves. Silver with ring of blue around his pupil

Leiron wears a long green sleeved tunic and faded black cloth trousers. Over them he wears bracers, a jerkin with leather scales on hte chest shoulders and arms, boot greaves, and 2 leg satchels, and 3 belts. All are dark brown leather with elvish designs pressed into them. He also has a full helm made of the same material and elvish design. They all have black fur accents except the belts. Over his armor is long, black, cloth gilet which has some elvish embroidery on the edges and black fur and leather over its shoulders. Each belt has a purpose. One belt hangs slightly to the left and holds the scabbard for his sword. Another belt hangs to the right and holds a quiver. and the last and widest (6 inches wide) belt simply holds up his pants... and provides a bit of extra armor.
He has an elvish long sword sheathed at his left hip. a longbow rests across a small shield on his back. Both of which are of elvish design. A mythril spear 6" in length

Leiron approached the doors to the barracks. He proceeded to knock on the locked entryway. He gripped the a letter in his right hand and waited for any of the Dawn Riders within to respond.

Clothes and Equipment: A saddle made by leiron out of many different kinds of leathers. It was well designed through trial and error. She accepts the extra quivers and saddle bags, the weight will make her faster and stronger should they be removed.
In her human form she often wears a light cloth dress that Leiron makes her wear, though she doesn't understand why.

Leiron held up the letter, still rolled up. " My dragon, Asadobres, and I have been offered a position in the Dawn Riders. This letter from the Empress states that Commodore Calgary has already been spoken to on the matter." He offered the letter to the viewport should the soldier wish to confirm with his own eyes.

A grunt of acknowledgement was heard as a series of bolts and chains were undone to allow the pair inside.
The man who greeted them was older, greying hair a rarity among the Dawn Riders. Markings on his shoulder indicated a senior NCO
"Right then. Not sure we have...er...space for a dragon in here. Guessing if you have been in the city you already got that figured out though. Just let us know how much it costs to...I don't know if stable is the right word for that but you get the drift. We'll cover the costs just like we do with the griffons."

Leiron raised a brow and pointed to Asadobres who was right behind him, "That's not needed. Asadobres, like many dragons, has shape shifting magic. She spends her time here in Isra as you see her now. She even eats with me, about the same amount. So a soldier's wage for her too would cover her 'upkeep' just fine."

Asadobres made a rather sloppy, unpracticed salute at being introduced. She probably looked like a silly young girl standing there in her sundress and saluting but she was saluting none the less.

"...Right. I guess the numbers aren't that different if you count the allowance given to the Riders for the griffins. I can't make that call though, so you'll have to speak with the Commodore about that. He'll probably want to talk to you about stuff anyway. The gods only know what he has planned for a dragon ."
The soldier opened the door all the way to allow the pair in. He turned and led the way through a combination of barracks and stables to a singular office marked "Calgary".
"In here, just knock and he'll let you in. Friendly sort he is."

Leiron bowed his head in affirmation and followed along. Asadobres followed along aswell. " Well hopefully the need for a dragon in true combat will never arise." Upon reaching the office leiron spoke his thanks, " I appreciate you showing the way." He stepped up to the door and knocked twice.

Calgary looked up from the requisition forms he had been going over. No wonder Liz retired so early, this is headache inducing , he thought to himself.
"Door is unlocked, come on in." He said, loudly enough to be heard outside.

Leiron opened the door and stepped inside. He moved out of the way for Asadobres to enter a well. Leiron shut the door and looked at Calgary, " Good evening sir, we received this letter; an invitation to the Dawn Riders. After some talk the two of us have decided to take the offer if it's still on the table."

Leiron grimmaced a bit, "More than I would have liked, earlier than I would have liked. The land I come from has a tribe of men there that are quite feral and mad. My village was in constant danger of these wild men raiding and pillaging." his eyes grew cold and harrowed, "My mother was killed by them and that was the day I took my first life. Several lives. It wasn't some hunt for vengeance mind you. I just picked up a bow and started shooting in the middle of a raid. From that point on I participated in every defense of the village. I found new ways of defending our village and revolutionized the tactics we used. A front line of spearmen with tall shields was very effective against the mad men when supported with our most skilled archers. Especially with fortifications that forced them into conflict with the spearmen. Arrows would fly close enough to the spearmen that they felt their wind. I learned of my talent for magic and taught myself how to charge my arrows with magic, a skill very useful against the Mad Men who wore dragon scaled armor." His next words held a bit of pride, "Eventually the mad men learned to leave us be." The cold look faded away and a brighter one came to light, "Of course that was before I met Asadobres." He looked back to her, "Tragedy struck her similarly. The mad men enjoy killing dragons as a right of passage, I rescued her from their clutches. Sadly I was too late for her nest mates and mother." His focus returned to Calgary, "I haven't slain anyone from the back of a Dragon but I have fought a rather terrible beast. It was in the Land Tiller State. Along the mountains. A creature of mist. The dawn riders were there actually. I'm not so arrogant to say that my efforts from dragon's back do need improvement. I struck a major blow against the creature but I'm a bit fuzzy on how the rest of the fight played out. I was struck from Asa's back after and was terribly injured."

Calgary listened intently, remembering the reports of that particular fight, there was indeed a dragon rider present.
"So you are familiar with killing, and teamwork. On the ground anyway. But little experience in the air it would sound like, particularly when fighting a similarly equipped foe. That is not too uncommon for our Riders, very very few of whom have any mounted experience at all, and even fewer have experience on anything that can fly. We can train you to do that, it would seem you are already bonded with...Asadobres I think you said. So that makes it easier, and that bonding time is the lengthiest part of our training."
