A/N: We know Dragon's thoughts after Jane fell from his back in "Foul Weather Friends", but what exactly did Jane think after the occurrence?
-------space-------
Falling. It is a terrifying thing. One's body writhes and roils and flips and turns as they pass through cloud after cloud on their way to the ground.
I have never been so afraid in my life.
Even as I marched into the dragon's den to save the prince and slay the demon, I did not quiver as I did while I was but an egg dropping to the earth. My life did not pass by my eyes; rather, my fate danced across my vision. I saw myself smashing into the ground, and my mangled remains found by my friend, Dragon. His pained expression as he sobbed and called out and blamed himself.
It would have been his fault, of course.
I should have held on tighter, but he shouldn't have done those stupid tricks. Not with me on his back.
I cannot tell him, though.
He cannot know that I blame him for my near-death. He already blames himself more than enough and now watches me like a mother hen. "Jane, no fish! The bones, Jane, the bones! No flying, no sparring, no sitting in one place staring at stone!" God, it's like I have my mother following me around, except ten times worse!
….I must carry on with my duties, no matter his fears. And I must stay by his side, no matter how hard things get. Every friendship has rough patches.
Though I doubt many have the myriad of problems we have.
