In reply to: S'sha & Kylith ((Archallo)) 's message, "[unexpected reunion]" on 21:37:52 03/28/05 Mon

Something warm begins to stir inside of the bronze rider as S’sha holds him, a strange flicker of comfort that this time; the visions that came during sleep were real. With this embrace, he could be certain that he was not about to wake in the darkness to find Maeroth’s tired muzzle breathing gently into his hair, worried yellow eyes silently watching over his shaking form. He then remains perfectly still as the Queen rider pulls away to eye him over. Such an action would normally switch on some instinctive motion of dodging, so accustomed was R’jari to the points and stares that came with being the dead Weyrleader’s boy. But the bronze rider knew without looking that S’sha’s eyes would hold none of the pity he hated so much.

The grey-hued bronze lowers his gaze briefly in appropriate respect for the Queen as he answers her query, his eyes slowly returning to a marbled shade of yellow-blue that melded at points into green. I am Maeroth, life mate of R’jari. There is a brief pause of from the dragon as faded long-term memories are dredged up, a process that was difficult for all members of his race. Connections are made between names and faces, stories and nightmares. The muzzle jerks back up far swifter than it had bowed, the younger dragon now realizing the miracle for what it was. New Isle had presumed you were forced between! Would you like me to tell of your fortunate return? Quilth has just recently flown Wessae’s Shrineth, and brown Datoth tells me both are sleeping. But I would be glad to spread the word by means of those who are awake!

A soft smile curves naturally across R’jari’s face at his dragon’s sudden atypical excitement, S’sha’s words of hope and Cargan’s following chirrup of greeting to blue Archallo only emphasizing the sudden wave of happiness. R’jari hugs S’sha again, returning the strength of her original embrace with enthusiasm of his own.

“If you say it is so Weyr...” He pauses, tripping verbally over the past title, “S’sha. Then I’ll believe it.” He shakes his head slightly and the soft smile remains, “I suppose the turns have changed quite a few things.” He hesitates a moment, though green eyes shine brighter than they had since the day of the storm.

“I’m really sorry for not greeting all of you on sight. It’s just so amazing to see you… well admittedly… alive!”
