[ His shifts are the only time he ever actively tries to hide anything through their bond; no one deserves to feel that pain but himself. There's only so much he can do to suppress it, though, and for that he feels guilty. No matter, what's done is done.
Berserker makes a satisfied huff as Diarmuid vaults up onto his back. ]
You're learning quickly.
[ Once he's sure he's settled in, Berserker gets a running start and takes off with heavy wingbeats. The extra weight is barely noticeable as he climbs higher into the sky. Soon the trees below them are barely discernible, the landscape flattening out. From the height they're at, the glittering surface of the lake becomes visible in the warm glow of the morning light.
It's not a long flight, the distance almost trivial in the face of a determined dragon. Berserker slowly comes in for a landing on the lake shore, his claws sinking easily into the wet sand. He lowers himself down again to let Diarmuid off.
How odd that it looks so peaceful right now. Wasn't whatever lurked within taking victims? Well, they would need to get the lay of the land and figure out a plan of attack if and when the beast made itself known. ]
