the dragon's eyes whirled with happiness.
Slowly S'lant and Parath got up and went to a platform, to Parath the day had been tiring to hatch. For S'lant it had been tiring to watch his little one hatch, but they both sank into sleep.

The boy and the bronze reach the Perches. -- T'gan & *Chuth*, Kestor, 23:39:42 12/20/01 Thu
T'gan picks up a bucket of water and cleaning tools, and starts scrubbing his dragon. Chuth closes his eyes and croons in pleasure as the remains of his meal are washed from his hide. A brown firelizard flies in. After observing T'gan for a moment, the 'lizard picks up a brush and begins to scrub vigorously at the blood on Chuth's face. T'gan chuckles. "Helping me out, Kestor?" Kestor chirps and scrubs harder.
Chuth's eyes whirl as he adjusts their focus, watching the tiny creature perched on his nose. *He's cute,* the young bronze tells his rider. *And I think he likes me. I like him.*
T'gan laughs. ^I can see that!^ Putting down the brush with a flourish, he grins at Chuth. ^You're clean!^
*I itch,* Chuth complains, scratching his tail.
^Well, that's what this is for,^ T'gan declares, displaying a jar of oil. He starts oiling his dragon, who croons happily.
As T'gan finishes oiling Chuth, the firelizard lands on the dragon's head and chirps at the boy. *The firelizard itches too,* Chuth notes. *You should oil him.*
^You're right, Chuth! I hadn't thought of that. Thank you.^ T'gan dabs a bit of oil onto Kestor's back, and begins rubbing it in.
*You're welcome,* Chuth says sleepily, curling up into a ball on a sleeping platform.
T'gan finishes oiling his firelizard and walks over to sit by the sleeping Chuth. He rests his head on the bronze flank, smiling at his bondmate. Kestor lands on his shoulder and curls up, as sleepy as the much larger dragon.

**The two enter, Caen fairly skipping alongside Maisath** -- Caen and {Maisath}, 19:22:33 12/20/01 Thu
**Maisath is tottering wearily, scraps of meat and blood covering the green's body.**
Maisath, what did you do? It seems like you took a blood bath! **Caen smiles at her lifemate, scratching the green's eyeridges, joking with the young one.**
{I was hungry!} **The dragon states indignantly. Caen laughs and pets her muzzle.**
Yes love, I know. I was merely joking with you **She grabs a bucket of water, some oil and a hide brush. She splashes the water over the hatchling, then proceeding to scrub her all over with the hide brush. When she finishes, Maisath begins to creel softly.**
{Itchy! It’s so itchy!} **The hatchling tries to scratch a bit of rough hide, looking imploringly up at Caen**
That is why I brought this. **Caen states, holding up the oil.** I’m going to rub this on you to stop the itchiness. **She then rubs the oil on the rough spots, and over the rest as well, until the green begins to shine. {Sleepy. I’m really sleepy Caen. Can I go to sleep now?} **Caen looks lovingly at the hatchling and feels her heart begin to melt, pounding once again with the realization that this was the dragon she was going to spend her life with the emerald green, this wonderful creature that would love her, and that she would love as well. As Maisath had stated herself “I am here with you, and you are with me.” A sudden headbutt to the side shakes her from her reveries, as Maisath creels again** {Sleep now?} **Caen looks down at the hatchling and a smile creeps across her face**
Yes, of course. Go ahead love, sleep. **As the green curls up and starts to fall into a deep sleep, Caen traces the outline of the hatchling, breath catching, and random tears falling. When the green is finally asleep, snoring quietly, she stands up and wipes the tears away, trying to tear herself away from the sleeping form, to go see Wessae Impress, but she can’t seem to, eyes riveted to HER dragon.**

*The new pair of dragon and rider wander in, Channa encouraging her blue the entire way.* -- Channa and Wrelth, 16:11:25 12/20/01 Thu
*She smiles, eyes crinkling, and heads for several prepared buckets of warm water, and grabs a scrub-brush. -Let's get you clean, dear heart.- she murmurs, carefully and gently getting the small pieces of shell, blood, scraps of meat, and assorted dirt off her beloved dragonet. Wrelth croons and wriggles with pleasure until she finishes, when he fastens slowly whirling orbs on her. What now? he asks eagerly. Channa laughs lightly and, her tone full of love for the little blue, answers. -Now, I'm going to oil your exceptional hide, and then you can sleep and I can watch my friends Impress!- She seems absolutely confidant that her two friends, still on the Sands, will return with dragons, just as she did, and she does NOT want to miss that moment! Grinning her happiness, Channa massages oil into the deep blue skin, making sure not to miss a spot, and Wrelth creels, his beautiful eyes shut in pleasure. Once finished, the midnight-blue hide seems to glow, outshining Channa's bright eyes, and the new rider giggles as the hatchling yawns. I am tired, can I sleep now? The girl nods, black curls bobbing, and gestures around her. -You can sleep on these little platforms they set up, or you and I can go to the Barracks, and you can curl up in a real dragon couch.- The dragonet seems to consider, and sighs happily. Stay here. I'm tired. With that decision made, Channa leads Wrelth to a sleeping platform, where the little blue curls up and falls asleep instantly, hide glimmering in the sunlight and belly still overly full. Unexpectedly, a few tears fall, and the girl sniffles. "I love you, Wrelth. I don't want to leave you now." Still suffused with joy from Impression, the girl glances towards the Hatching Sands. Surely they wouldn't Impress that quickly after her... Her gaze returns to the now-snoring-softly blue, and she melts, hand going to her heart like she saw S'sha do before, when gazing upon her queen. "Honestly, Channa, you're going to miss their Impressions, and he's sleeping! You'll have your entire life with him!" she chides herself, but still stays, unmoving, watching her lifemate sleep...*

·You didn't eat that meat, you bathed in it!· S'kar teases his lifemate.
Raskith looks sheepish. ºI was hungry. Can you wash me, so I can sleep?º
·Of course.· S'kar gets a few buckets of water and a hide brush, and begins to scrub vigorously at the blue dragon's hide.
In a short time, Raskith is clean and oiled. He wriggles and croons happily as he is oiled. ºI like that, S'kar! Do it lots, please!º
·Every day,· S'kar vows. ·I'd have to anyway, so you don't get patchy skin.·
ºRight. I forgot!º The hatchling leaps onto a sleeping platform and curls up, changing his position several times before he is comfortable. ºI'm tired, S'kar. I'm going to sleep now,º he announces matter-of-factly.
The boy smiles. "Sleep all you want, Raskith," he murmurs, but the young blue is already too far asleep to hear him.

Laffranth yawns hugely. *Akema, I'm tired!*
Akema smiles and pats her lifemate's shoulder. ^I know, dearheart. So am I.^ She indicates an empty sleeping platform. ^Curl up there, why don't you?^
*Okay,* the hatchling says willingly, doing as her rider bids. Her eyes, slowly whirling green, are fixed lovingly upon her lifemate.
The girl sits down on the edge of the platform, her hand resting on Laffranth's back. Suddenly, a small green firelizard appears from between, vigorously scolding Akema.
*Who's this?* Laffranth asks curiously, peering at the chittering firelizard.
"This is Wista, my firelizard," Akema says aloud. Wista chirps and ceases scolding at the sound of her name.
*She's yours? How cute! And look, she's almost the same color as me!* Fascinated, the young green extends her snout to the firelizard.
^Yes, she is,^ Akema replies, then settles Wista with a mental command. As Laffranth lies her head back down and closes her eyes, the firelizard lands on the hatchling's nose. Akema leans back against her dragon, closing her eyes as well. After only a few minutes, all three are deeply asleep.

Cavorting in with eager pleasure, the large hatchling waits expectantly for his lifemate. -- A'rak & Kadoth, 00:00:12 12/20/01 Thu
What's this place for? He asks in hushed awe as he observes the other dragons. Reassuringly, the boy pats his bronze's hide, an agile grin shimmering on his features.
"For cleaning you up, dirty!" So saying, he snags a bucket of warm water and cautions Kadoth. "Shut those eyes, it's gonna be a toss." Heaving the splash of warm water on the immense youngster, he gently scrubs away the meat scraps from the forearms and the egg residue from the delicate pinions. Kadoth rumbles his pleasure as the boy methodically removes all the grime and detestable traces from the shining bronze hide.
I like being clean, A'rak. Kadoth sighs happily, waiting in eager expectation for the next step of the operation. Fetching a slightly used rag, he dips it in the resilient oil and carefully recites the entire hide with it, careful to catch the elbows and itchy spots with a liberal smothering of oil.
"Good, because you'll need this alot, Kadoth! Now where to? Sleepy?"
A little, but you want to see the rest of the hatching.
"True, I want to see my sister and her friends Impress, but you come first, Kadoth. They know it and I do too." Nodding as though expecting that answer, the bronze heads out decidedly.
Sleep, then! I'm very, very sleepy. Again leading the way, Kadoth leads the pair to the Barracks.

A green dragon lets her rider slip off and furls her wings, eyes whirling a tired shade of blue. -- T'yin and Viouth, 22:53:28 12/15/01 Sat
"I am so sorry, Viouth..." mumbles the rider as he quickly removes the flying straps. "I knew we should've left before that storm... it's my fault we were grounded..." The anguish in the young boy's voice is plain, and the green stays silent, swaying on tired limbs. "Come on. Take a bath and I'll oil you, then you can sleep, and when you wake up you can hunt, okay?" No response. "Viouth? Come on." T'yin rests his hand nervously on his lifemate's foreleg, and numbly the green moves towards the water. He guides her in, icy blue eyes anxious, and scrubs her clean. The warm water seems to revive her a little, and the green stirs again. I itch. "I know, love, I know." After cleaning her, T'yin leads the green out of the water and massages oil into her hide, using twice the normal amount and making sure every drop is rubbing into the scratchy skin. "I am so sorry," he mumbles again, gaze downcast at his bad judgement. I'm tired. "Yes." Once finished, Viouth seemed to glow, and T'yin watches as she curls up drifts into sleep. The rider of 17 Turns scrubs his eyes, obviously having been crying lately. His stomach rumbles, his wherhide clothes are torn and dirty, and his almond-coloured hair is tangled, but the greenrider decides to stay by his dragon's side. Once she's fed and sleeping again, then, and only then, will he take care of himself. Swallowing hard, T'yin tries to forget the past months. Flying to the southern continent to look for fire lizard eggs, that typhoon... the storm continued for ages, not letting them even take off and go between... then he'd gotten so sick, and no one could take care of his dragon... The rider shakes his head wildly, pale and wide-eyed. "I can't keep remembering this... she's almost better," he says to himself plaintively, ignoring his own disheveled state. Trembling with exhaustion, he seats himself near his sleeping green, and watches her rib cage rise and fall with each deep breath.

He proceeds to give his lifemate a swift but sure oiling... -- S'arn & Virth, 10:17:21 12/06/01 Thu
His hands swipe the broad areas, gleaming the dulled brown hide to a rich, textured mahogany. He pays special care to the joints and underwings, knowing Virth got quite dry there often. His attentions are accompanied by a deep, cavernous approval from the brown, who nods and shuts his eyes to the wonderful treatment.
To see D'tir now? He enquires hopefully. They said the Weyrling Barracks, I wonder if he's still there.
"I'm sure he is, Virth. Come, then. Let's take the long way, I don't feel like going between." He hoists himself easily into the harness, adjusting everything for flight and tapping Virth at the side of his neck. The great dragon lifts into the air, heading for the Weyrling barracks.

A long flight, S'arn. I think we need a rest. Virth comments as his human slides down with practiced ease. The dragon's wings spread and he stretches with the luxury of a cat.
"Right you are, friend. Time for some shut eye. And then, we'll see about later." He crawls into a sleeping spot, Virth crouched by him almost tensley. Suddenly a cavernous yawn escapes the dragon and he lays his head down, exhausted from his countless air hours. With a work roughened hand, S'arn gives his partner's hide a pat before shuffling off to a ready doze.
(Re-spirited, isn't it a great thing?)

They return, the dragon bloody, dusty and full. Hopping down, the young rider's knees quiver a bit, but she smiles gamely and fetches a brush -- Tanikli & Euroth, 21:55:35 12/02/01 Sun
Filling a larg bucket with warm sudsy water, she takes a pleasantly rough crub brush and sets to work. Eliminating all the grime from the hunting grounds takes the better part of an hour, the girl scrubbing tirelessly on the dragon's back as Euroth croons in pleasure.
Hopping down, Tanikli fetches a bucket of rinsing water and douses the green, who trills in mock outrage. "Just getting you clean, dear." She smiles, gently removing the last of the suds from her dragon. She takes the rag she had used previously to oil the clean hide to a sheen worthy of a golden. With a smile, she pats Euroth's muscled forearm and yawns.
Sleep sounds good to me too, Tani. The dragon yaws as well, revealing her rows of teeth before curling into a sight ball. Tanikli nods agreeably, tucking her frame in beside the contented dragon's. Soon they are both fast asleep.

A smallish green lands squarely amidst the others, the girl atop her chuckling slightly. -- Taniklia & Euroth, 19:51:13 12/02/01 Sun
"You always love to show off, don't you Euroth?"
Only when I want food. The dragon replied smartly, peering around with her faceted eyes and sniffing out any possible morsels. And this is the one place they don't keep any. Well, I do need a good oiling, I think. I'm getting rather itchy.
"I don't recall a day when you didn't. Want food, that is." Taniklia smiles and gently scratches the female's eyelids. She smirks at the dragon before fetching a bucket to oil the hide with. The dragon croons in pleasure as the rag washes across her hide. As she was nearly done growing, her hide needed the care and attention only a rider could give her. Soon, the lusturous green scales begin to shimmer with the soothing treatment.
"Now, perhaps we can head down to the bowl, I know of a few wherries with your names on them." Euroth nods agreeably and prepares to take off, her rider scrambling to get on her. Launching into the air, a few wingbeats free the dragon from the confines of the Perches, and she heads enthusiastically to the Bowl.

Ralkene smiles at the green bulk of her dragon's hide. The water and oil were warm, and Kiarath would fall asleep quickly with a full stomach.

Smiling and patting her gently, Ralkene left their weyr, looking for food.

Walks in -- Inumé, back again! (respirited by someone else, me!), 15:08:36 12/01/01 Sat
Inumé walked in and was followed by the pounding footfalls of her Blue, Shenth. Shenth, people might be sleeping! The blue dragon turned his rainbow eyes lazily up at his rider, the female Inumé. I am a dragon, who protects them from Thread, they should be grateful and not complain! Inumé could not help but laugh at her dragon's thoughts. She pushed back her pitch black hair and her green eyes shown as she picked up the bucket of oil and a large brush, dipping the head in the oil and rubbing the bristles across Shenth's back. Ahh, that's nice. She turned her head and gently scratched the dragon's eyelids, watching him rumble in satisfaction. Glad you like it, Braveheart. I think I want to go to see if I can find myself a fire lizard, ya know, one of those flits everyone on Pern except me seems to have! Shenth sighed. They won't disrupt my sleep, will they? No, they will not. I've finished oiling you, now will you take me between to the beach? Shenth turned to his rider, Inumé, and got up, stretching. With a smile she grabbed her wherhide gear and shoved on a cap, fastening herself into a harness on her dragon's back.

~The pair rocket into the sky after the freezing cold of between. Palirth lands easily. Her rider slips off her dragon, unbuckles the harness, and lets Palirth settle into a curled-up position. Within moments, the green is asleep. "You did wonderfully, my love," Eve murmurs to her dragon affectionately. "And now, I need numbweed," she adds thoughtfully, looking at the ragged, shredded back of her hand. The pain was distant, like it was happening far away and to someone else, but the tendons were shriveled and torn, and the knuckle bones shone whitely through gore. The greenrider nods and moves towards the Weyr, intent on healing herself. Her beautiful green had taken no scores, a fact which relieved Evelene to no end. Only after taking four strides does the rider simply crumple to the ground, unconscious. A gold flit flips into the area, shrieking as she sees her master wounded.~

Another Blue, this one a firelizard, comes out of between perching himself upon a nearby rock. After finishing with the oil, virile sighs, leaning on his dragon, a faraway expression on his dial.
Vaeth, do you think we shall ever see her again? I know 'twas not good for a Blue rider to spend all his time with a Queen rider, but I was unable to help it. I knew we would never fly her Cosseth, but...
Sympathy filled draconic mental voice, as dragon responds.
I doubt that we shall again see her, or Cosseth, or Exquisite. None of them are still in the Weyrs. Be not sad, Am'raq, you shall find another.
A deep sigh is emitted from the masculine, this was far too much, too complicated.
How, Vaeth, how? Shall you fly a Green, believing that I shall become enamored with that person? No, tisn't worth it.
Deep blue tail flicks to one side, as swirling oculi are turned back to rider, with a draconic chuckle.
Tis true that I shall fly a Green, but it will not be for my rider's sake.
Male nods his understanding with a chuckle of his own, as he begins to bathe the already sparkling clean dragon*~

**For once, Kayet's constant stream of praise of her green has no one to aim for, and she's fallen silent. Myath, a healthy green, basks in the sun. Dozing, she's furled her brown-sized wings against her shining flanks. Kayet observes her dragon lovingly, murmuring compliments every moment she feels Myath stir. The girl, now seventeen, has grown up a bit, but not matured much in attitude or personality. She still fawns over her beloved green, trails her older sister around, and is in awe of the flights. Her short russet hair remains short, and her bright blue eyes still shine with child-like wonder when she flies, and the dazzled grin that she expressed when she Impressed still sets upon her features. Happy, even though wishing for something to do, she lounges against a short wall, enjoying the cool feeling of the stone and the security she feels in this place.**

The blue soars in, his rider perched proudly atop his broad back... -- D'ren, blue Soulth, 16:04:06 06/11/01 Mon
They circle once, before dropping downwards, making a clean landing as their backwinging brings the pair to a halt. Carefully, D'ren hoists himself from the riding "saddle" that is strapped to his Impressed's neck, turning about to unstrap the wher-hide with experienced ease. As he slips the soft, leather-like material from his life-mate, he turns to glance towards the Flight Air. From here, he cannot see the action taking place, but his little blue can. He creels in an excited tone, shifting on his talons. ~You should see them, D'ren! They look beautiful from here, all chasing the Queen! It looks like it's almost the end, too!~ D'ren smiles, rubbing his easily excited blue affectionately. (That's nice, Soulth, but you need to be oiled right now. You can tell me all about it, since I can't see from here.) As the male rubs down his blue's hide, listening to the constant chatter from his beloved, he seems slightly concerned. Soulth's skin is not only cracked from the constant flickering between, but the tendons in his wings seemed to be strained. Of course, he had been from a green's clutch... hopefully, it would not hinder him in flight. Hiding his thoughts as best he could from the little blue, he continues to rub him down with the slick oil, smiling as his hide glows a brilliant azure.

Sagmus returned to the perches bored out of his wits. He had been watching for 2 days dragons blink in and out ofthe between. He saw thisso much he was starting to think the between was no big deal. He was returning to recover his firelizard Longclaw. Longclaw had gone between without Sagmus's permission and he blinked back in less than one second dizzy-minded. He didn't blame Lonclaw. HHe probably would have done the same thing watching people do it for 2 days. He dropped off Longclaw and walked around the perches for awhile, noticing N'mar wasn't there anymore. Without any warning, a portal from the between opened right in front of me and I fell on my knees, realizing who it was. He said in a disbelieving voice "Z'll"?

"Farewell" -- Sagmus, 21:40:45 05/28/01 Mon
Sagms found N'mar still sleeping with his green dragon. He didn't attempt to wake him up. He felt somewhat guilty. N'mar had a dragon and he didn't. He had no dragon to show for. He wasn't going to talk to his friend again until he had a dragon, even if it meant waiting years. "Farewell" Sagmus whispered into his friend's firelizard's ears and went to the weyrling barracks to learn some tips of training for when he got his own.

"How do you know N'mar is my friend"? -- Sagmus, 13:04:47 05/28/01 Mon
Sagmus had waken up two hours ago, startled by a picture Longclaw was sending in his subconcious mind. His firelizard had sent a picture of his good friend Numar asleep at the perches with a green dragon that had recently been oiled. Sagmus had bathe his firelizard quickly and sat down to eat his breakfast of klah and bread. "How do you know Numar is my friend"? Longclaw didn't respond. Sagmus just remembered that when you had impressed you changed your name in a certain order. Sagmus remembered the green dragon by Numar's side and knew he had impressed. "Now what would it be for Numar??? Let's see...Num'r?Namur?N'mar? Longclaw jerked his head around at me. That was it! "How do you know N'mar is my friend? Longclaw sent a picture of my dreamslast night. Of course! He had been dreaming of N'mar and his other friend Zell, which he assumed was now Z'll. Finishing breakfast, Sagmus and Longclaw ventured the perches for his friend. As they were searching Sagmus couldn't stop thinking "Both my friends have dragons now, and I was too late. It could be years from now before another clutch came."

Raia picks up some oil, and begins rubbing it into his hide, admiring for the billionth time it's beautiful blue glow. Jazoth stretches out his wings, fanning them, then folds them up again, sighing with contentment. Finally, Raia is done. She puts the oil away, and scratches Jazoth's eye ridges fondly.

~She backwings gracefully and lands. Her rider, Evelene, approaches her dragon with a smile and some oil. Rubbing the smooth liquid into Palirth's emerald hide, she thinks. The dragon croons and, as Eve finishes, settles her shining self to soak in the sun. Eve, grinning now, heads off.~

**Two greens glide into the area.** -- Anraeth and Myath, 13:20:10 05/27/01 Sun
**Anraeth immediately chooses a spot suitable for sun-bathing, but younger Myath lands near the entrance, sure that Kayet will soon come to oil her again, as she does every day. The older green's hide is still gleaming from her last oiling, and she knows Resa, her rider, and Myath's Kayet are still in the Weyr, relaxing and talking. No doubt Kayet was listing Myath's infinite good qualities, from Resa's bored tolerance to her sister. Anraeth soon drifts into sleep, but Myath remains awake, eagerly waiting for Kayet to come.**

The now fullly grown dragon strides in, eyes looking about the rather crowded area... -- Ralek, gold Taliath, 16:20:32 05/17/01 Thu
Behind her is Ralek, panting slightly, but smiling. Taliath doesn't seem to want to wait, for she immediately finds a place her own, basking in the hazy sunlight. With a low laugh, rider stalks away, coming back moments later with a bucket of oil. Carefully, she rubs the slick liquid across the slightly cracked hide, surprised at how large her friend had become. It takes the most of nearly two hours to quench the complaints of Taliath, but for all the work, she gleamed like a million gems. By now, the gold has drifted into a deep slumber, resting after her many hours of flying, flicking between, and even more so to recover from her shock. Ralek shares a compassionate moment with her Impressed for many moments, but finally, she rises. Now that Thread was close at hand, she would need a way to send messages quickly. With a nod, reassuring herself, she decides to take a walk on the Beach.

For a moment, she sits staring at her green. : This is the last time I'm ever doing this! You're too big! :
: Isn't that a good thing? Besides, I think this is the last time I'll ever need it. Though Daystar needs it... :
With a glance, Alara looks at the brown. She raises her eyebrows at his size. "My! Yes you do! Him first." She lathers oil onto the brown's hide, who closes his eyes in pleasure. Then she turns again to Aghath. With a deep sigh, she begins the process of oiling the dragon

**A green dragon doddles in, and soon afterwards her rider with a small fair of flizards.** -- Kayet, Myath, and a few flizards, 16:58:17 05/11/01 Fri
**Kayet grins and hugs her green's neck in greeting, stroking the soft emerald hide. I itch. And I'm stuffed. Can we sleep before we fly? "Aw Myath!" I didn't gorge, but I want a nap. The green's tone brooks no arguement and Kayet just grins. A brown, blue, and green flitting about her head, Kayet sprints towards the water. Myath beats her there, splashing in and floundering happily. Her rider makes a graceful dive in, and soon drafts the flizards to help clean the growing dragon. After this, the pair climb soggily out of the water and flop on the sand. A brief nap ensues before the pair wake up, warmed and dried. Oil? "Of course!" Kayet, with her ever-present grin, proceeds to rub the sweet-smelling oil thoroughly into the glistening emerald hide. Myath croons, her eyes covered with one set of eyelids. Sleepy. Take a nap? "Mhmm..." murmurs Kayet in an answer before flopping down where she is, tired again, and the pair sleep. Nearly half a day later, the sun rising wakes them and they head off to be trained at the Barracks.**

D'ren blinks, realizing how much his dragon had grown. My skin itches, D'ren. "I'm sure it does. Come here, let me oil you before we go train." The blue strides to his rider, allowing himself to be thouroughly coated in oil. He croons happily throughout the process, and when finally done, his hide gleams like a thousand sapphires. "There you go, now let's go to the Barracks, before we're late!" You're the one who needs to hurry up! calls the blue, already walking away. With a laugh, D'ren catches up, and they go to begin their first day of training.

Alara purses her lips in thought -- Alara and Aghath, 23:30:35 04/26/01 Thu
: I am tired of this! : Aghath informs her rider. She stretchs her neck towards the sky, and creels at it softly. Alara's brown, Daystar, quietly echos it.
She collapses against the green hide, absently biting into a fruit. : Me too! I want to fly! I know K'u is suppose to be teaching us soon... But I HATE it! I can't wait anymore! :
The dragon rumbles, deep in her throat. : I'm not waiting anymore, : she says decidedly. : Could you ask 'Star to fly? : Curious, Alara does so. Daystar is just a hatchling- he's never flown before.
The brown pushes off with powerful back legs. He beats his wings against the air, rising up a few feet before gliding quickly down to Alara's shoulder. he sends.
: I think I can do that... : she moves over to the edge of the cliff-face. With a powerful leap, the young green takes to the air. Suddenly she disappears beneath the side of the cliff.
: Aghath! : Alara calls out in dispair. Aghath replies reasurringly that she is fine. Just then, she appears again, alternatly beating her wings and falling a few feet. Soon she gets the hang of it, and hovers for a few momments. Then she lands, a bit worn out.
: Go and hunt, love, : Alara tells her green, voice filled with pride. The dragon flies into the air, and swoops on a young buck. When she is finishing gorging, she demands to fly again.
: Come with me? : she pleads.
: I don't know... I should have flying gear, like I've seen the others wear... :
The dragon snorts. : I'll keep you safe. I promise that you won't fall off me. : Feeling her rider's apprehension, she compromises. : All right then, just get on, please? I'll build my strength that way. Then we'll fly later. : Alara mounts the green, with help from Aghath's lowered head and first ridge. Clumsily, she gets in her place. Aghath begins to walk around, occasionally taking short leaps into the air.

This... this, not being able to fly is getting to her. It was something dragons did, and it was something she hadn't ever longed for. Until she had flown. However small it had been, it was as if something had been missing all of her young life, and now she wanted it more than anything.
Aghath suddenly brightens. More than anything but Alara. What I need most is Alara, she thinks to herself, running over the words in her mind. Alara. Alara, my rider. The green throws back her head, suddenly out of her depression, for the momment. : 'Lara? Will you oil me? : she asks.

**And Sria picks up some oil. She begins rubbing it evenly on Puth's hide, admiring how she gleamed with health. Puth had grown alot since she hatched, she was now one of the largest greens. Her attitude has changed as well, now, rather than being shy and timid, she was extremely outgoing, and loves to explore. She thinks to herself, Maybe I should apply to Rhiannon for Wingsecond position. I think that we would be good at it...**
~Penny for your thoughts, Sri'~
You know my thoughts, Puth.
~True. Still, I thought you might appreciate it more if I asked before commenting on your stream of thoughts. Why do you want to be a Wingsecond so much?~
Well, for one thing, I want to help protect Pern when thread falls once more. And I think that I will be able to do that better as a Wingsecond. Secondly, I think that I am capable of the responsibility, and don't want the position to fall into uncapable hands, because, well, just look at what happened with S'rald. I don't want that to happen again. For another thing, I know that I can do it. Ever since I ran away to go to the hatching, ever since you chose me, I have been following my dreams. And my dream is to be a Wingsecond. Aside from what I just told you, I don't really know. It is just this... feeling... that I have.
~I see.~
**Sria turns her attention back to her oiling. She finally finishes, and puts the oil away. She scratches Puth's eyeridges affectionately.**
Do you need anything else?
**In response, Puth's eyes begin to whirl slightly yellower than before.**
~Food!!! I am hungry!!!!!~
**Sria chuckles. Puth spreads her wings, and lifts off from her ledge, sweeping towards the bowl. Sria follows on foot.**

~A brilliant green dragon spirals down, her hide still glowing from mating with brown Kuvoth, and her eyes a shimmering emerald to match. Tired beyond belief, only now does she touch her rider's mind again and finds her sleeping. The gold flit perched near the girl ignores Palirth entirely as the green settles into a dragon couch, sleeping as soon as she arranges her lithe body.~

(YES! I AM getting active!) -- C'rahaz and Narith, 00:50:59 04/22/01 Sun
The brown politely extended his wing as C'rahaz began scrubbing the underside of the limb. It took a good chunk of time to scrub all of the brown's surface, C'rahaz was glad he didn't have to do it on a daily scheduel. Narith's eyes were half-closed, a soft rumble of pleasure emmiting from his throat. The young brownrider chuckled. The first two years of their partnership had seemingly gone by in a blur, yet the day of Impression never fails to stay fresh in one's mind. After a good twenty minutes more of scrubbing the brown's hide glistened in the light of the noon-day sun.
"Well you're done for now." C'rahaz commented as he stepped back, looking over the brown for any imperfections in his cleaning job.
Narith gave a draconic grin and posed, though it wasn't quite as effective half-submerged in water as it would have been on dry ground. Nonetheless he still managed to get a grin and a laugh out of his human counterpart.
So will I have to sit here all day or are you going to get that oil? Questioned the dragon.
"Oh yes, wouldn't want to to turn into a raisin would we?" The rider grined.
A raisin?
"It's a dried-up grape" He answered.
The dragon nodded then truged out of the water, shaking droplets off of his legs as he climbed out. After the task of oiling was completed they took the luxury of laying out and relaxing in the sun for the rest of their free time.

Eve frowns, but then shrugs. The green glides towards the lake, and is soon submerged happily. Eve, having dismounted at the shores, grins suddenly. ^Well, since we're here, might as well.^ She strips off the warm tunic, designed to keep her warm in the blackness of between, and leaves a light shift and shorts on. With a rebellious shake of her head, she releases long black curls from the riding helmet and dives for the water. Scrubbing Palirth thoroughly, she grins with weariness as the green hauls her rider out of the water. Now oil my poor, itchy, crackly hide! Evelene stifles a fit of laughter and works diligently to slather on liberal oil, especially on the rough patches. Suddenly, she worries that she's been neglecting Palirth. Of course you haven't, the green reassures her rider. We have both been training hard. Eve flicks a thick curl out of her eyes and nods, just as her stomach rumbles. ^You head to the Bowl and eat, young lady.^ And you go to the Table and eat, young rider. Eve laughs delightfully and rider and dragon part ways briefly.~

Nappy time!! -- Luna, Thwirl, Blueling, and Pherth, 16:28:25 04/15/01 Sun
