Subject: >~<

Massath enters the Perches to find R'ven waiting for her by the water, cleaning tools beside him. Kree has been displaced from his shoulder by Athena, and the little green now perches on the jar of oil, glaring at the golden newcomer.

~Ah, I see we already have some rivalry here,~ Massath remarks, glancing at Kree. ~Come, little one, you can help wash me,~ she adds to Kree as she plunges into the water.

R'ven wades in and begins to scrub her, aided by Vey and Kree. Dignified Athena refuses to get her paws dirty for a while, but Massath orders the little gold to help scrub.

~I want to be clean NOW!~ she orders, then looks at R'ven. ~Hurry, hurry, get me clean so I can be oiled! I itch!~

R'ven grins. -I'm hurrying! There, you're clean, dragonlady. Climb out and I'll dry you. Then you can get oiled.-

Massath walks out of the water and shakes herself dry, spraying droplets of water everywhere. ~Oil me!~ she pleads.

R'ven is already rubbing the oil into her hide. He has a great deal of dragon to cover, and even with the firelizards helping it is nearly an hour before Massath is fully oiled.

~I don't itch anymore; good.~ Massath turns her head and peers at the 'lizards. ~They want to be oiled too, R'ven; can't you hear them? Why don't you oil them while I nap, then we can head back to the Weyrling Barracks.~ She curls up on the warm ground and closes her eyes.

R'ven picks up the jar of oil and calls his 'lizards over. Athena, of course, gets oiled first, then Vey, and finally little Kree. R'ven spends some extra time on the little green, who is feeling neglected because the bigger 'lizards get priority. When all three are oiled, R'ven checks on his lifemate.

Massath is slowly awakening from her nap. Feeling the touch of R'ven's mind on hers, she comes fully awake. ~Time to go to the Barracks?~

-Yes, dragonlady.- Smiling, R'ven waits for his dragon to stand, then leads the way to the Weyrling Barracks.
