In reply to: Rinali and Lilith 's message, "Weyrlings here!" on 02:37:17 08/30/04 Mon

((Ok, everyone bear with me, as I just got Tr�ln from Tsuga, as she was giving him up. I may not be too used to him yet�))

Latroth came striding into the Perches in front of his now awake and walking rider just as Rinali started the lesson. Tr�ln had gotten most of his color back and was no longer feeling as sick, though he was still a bit paler than normal.

[What happened to D�tir, Latroth?]

{Queen Lilith�s rider will be resuming our lessons.}

[All right�]

Ignoring the paleness that threatened to overtake him again, Tr�ln walked over to the firestone and pulled some out. Walking back over and concentrating on every footstep, he sank back against the wall, and broke the first piece neatly in two against the wall.

{You don�t have to be nervous. This is mainly my job.}

[I know, I know.]

After proceeding to break every stone to a proper size, Tr�ln striated himself and offered the pile to Latroth. The brown ruffled his wings eagerly, and carefully took the pile of stone from his rider. Carefully, the dragon chewed, being careful not to repeat the mistakes of a green that had earlier bit her tongue or a bronze that had scorched his rider�s hand on the other side of the Perches.

[Second stomach?]

{Of course.}

For a second, all remained quiet. Then, a burning was felt deep in Latroth�s chest. Directing his head away from Tr�ln, he breathed deeply, and exhaled a large blast of flame. His eyes shone a fiery orange-red of surprise at the sudden heat and size of it, and he gripped the ground with his slightly parted talons. Soon, however, the blast was over, and Latroth�s eyes resumed a misty blue.

{We did it, Tr�ln! We really did it!}

[More of you did it, love.]

{Ya, well, you helped a bit.}

[Want me to share in the glory?]

{Of course.}

[Well� thanks.]

Tr�ln gave a small smile to his Impressed. They headed over t the ash pile, and Tr�ln straitened up and looked around as Latroth was emptying his throat. One thing caught his attention more than most of the flaming, though.

[They can really fly, can�t they?]

{Yeh. They are pretty good. We will be too, someday.}

[If I can ever stay on without getting sick.]

{You will eventually.}

[Do you think they�d give private lessons to a weyrling who couldn�t fly?]

{Possibly. There is another. A green.}

[So, what does Rinali plan to do with us?]

{Not sure, just yet.}

Tr�ln nodded weakly, and tore his eyes away from the golden speck in the sky. Leaning against the strong beige hide, Tr�ln continued to watch the others, though most of them were either done or finishing by now.
