[It is well past nightfall when Temeraire appears on the network, his expression exhausted and his posture hunched.
He has spent the bulk of the day flying, trying to dull his--well, it cannot be called grief, when he did not know the Emperor well enough for that, but it must be something close, surely. One cannot win wars without a few losses of one's own, but this is a price unfairly paid: something stolen and not captured on the field of combat. It is the gravest offense imaginable, for a dragon, and there is as much rumbling anger in his voice as there is sorrow when he speaks.]
Given recent events, there is little point in delaying the matter any longer. I do not know what form our enemy will take when it comes to us, but we must be prepared for any possibility, especially now that Eshai's power can no longer keep it at bay.
To that end, I am announcing the formation of the Keeliai Aerial Corps. There is little point in formation-flying when we cannot predict our enemy's movements, but at the very least those of us who can fly must grow used to flying together, and those of us who can fight must be prepared to do so under any circumstances.
Pray provide your name if you are interested; we will meet once a week at the very least, for target-practice and drills, and we might discuss tactics, and new technologies, as well.
If it brings an army with it, we will at least not be caught unawares.

I want to help. I can't fly without the aid of my glider, which I don't have here with me, but I have a whole lot of experience being up in the air.

It's just sort of...a glider.
The Monks would build them into a staff, and when you hit the right lever a main sail would extend from either side. There were tail fins too.

Sure! I could do that easy.

But...who's Leo?

What's an American?

--it is what we call someone from America, which is a country, in a great many people's worlds here; you might look instead for the boy who has responded to this post with a great many strange words, such as "cool," and "swag," and "dude."

Oh, okay. Yes, I'll...see if I can find him.
