Author: M'hai and Binth
Subject: + = +

M'hai and his lifemate entered the Perches, the bronze trotting along behind his Impressed as if waiting for him to fall. Binth seemed to consider M'hai's insecurity almost a joke. Almost.

~Must you stand behind me like that?~ I'm afraid you'll fall. ~No you're not. You just think it's funny, me thinking I'm clumsy. But I was...~

No time to ponder that strange happenstance. It was time to wash this great bronze lump. Chuckling at the thought, M'hai dragged Binth towards the pool of water. "Come on, Binth... It doesn't hurt, I promise!" he pleaded aloud. All right... But I'm blaming you if I catch cold and die...

Though reluctant at first, the bronze became ecstatic about bathing as soon as M'hai decided to rub his hide with sand. Aaaaaah... ~See? Is this so torturous?~ You needn't rub it in that you're right, M'hai... At last, the two stepped from the pool, dripping wet. M'hai snatched a towel from a nearby rack and dried the bronze's hide as quickly as he could. ~You still itch?~ Yeeeees...

The weyrling quickly slathered on as much oil as he could, and both dragon and rider shared an audible sigh of relief as the slippery oil soothed Binth's itchy skin. MUCH better. The bronze's voice was satiated and quickly fading into the realm of slumber. ~Come on, old boy, let's get you to the barracks before you pass out on me...~ And with that the pair left.
