Subject: >Lost and late<

L'andro feels incredibly stupid. How hard is it to find the Bowl? he asks himself, embarassment and guilt combining to lash at his conscience as he finally leads his dragon towards the loaded buckets.

L'andro, please, don't feel bad, Sanoth fusses, rubbing his head against the boy's hip. As soon as a brown-striped bucket lands in front of him, though, the hatchling dives into it, eating with remarkable delicacy and speed. You're new to the Weyr. It's not your fault.

"But you're so hungry," L'andro murmurs, both guilt and translated hunger pangs easing as he watches his compact brown dragon gulp down the scraps of meat.

Sanoth licks the last traces of blood carefully from the bowl, wipes his muzzle with his paws, and licks them clean as well. I'm not hungry anymore, he points out, his eyes swirling blue with absolute love and affection as he steps closer to his Impressed. I am, however, dirty.

Given a chance to redeem himself, L'andro perks up immediately. "Let's find the Perches," he says softly, glancing around to get his bearings. "And I'll ask for directions this time."

An excellent plan, Sanoth approves, as they move away from the feeding grounds.
