The new riders L'darin and Jerodyn were milling around, both reluctant to go to the feast for different reasons.
"I haven't got anything to wear that's girly," said Jerodyn.
L'darin grinned. "You're a brownrider, they don't expect that of you."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Jeri asked with a mock glare, then just gave up and changed into her cleanest, least-scarred breeches and a soft brown shirt.
"Now what do I wear? I could choose my dress boots, which only fit well for occasions with these breeches--" he indicated a pair laid out on his cot-- "and then I have my shoes that can go with--"
At this point, Jeri walked out with Chuuith, shaking her head. The bluerider hurried to shove on some shoes and rushed after her, Mandarth complaining. Is this completely necessary? L'darin didn't answer and caught up with Jeri just in time for the both of them to enter the Dining Cavern.
There was food, there were people, and there were the new weyrlings... but where were the other dragonets? For some reason, the other new riders had left their new lifemates behind. L'darin and Jeri exchanged looks, then shrugged and went to get some food. They sat at a table, not seeing anyone they knew, and started chewing a bit at the mountain of food they'd each gotten.

"Maigoth, quit pacing!" Syr'a said with exasperation. The gold dragonet would wear a trench in the stone floor of the Weyrling barracks if she didn't stop soon. Syr'a was just finishing lacing up her sandals when Maigoth whimpered again.
{{Why do we have to do this?}} came the plaintive cry in Syr'a's mind when she stood up and headed towards the barrack door. Maigoth was nearly shaking with nerves when she added, {{I don't want to do this, there's too many people and they'll all say funny things about me like they were at the hatching.}}
Syr'a looked back to her soulmate and answered softly, "What they say means nothing sweetling, you know you're a dragon and so do I." As she said that, she felt Maigoth's fear ease a little and it nearly broke Syr'a's heart. People were mean enough picking on each other but calling a newly hatched dragonet a wher, even when whispered, was uncalled for. The fact that Maigoth was gold didn't even come into play with that either, no dragon of any color deserved to be called a wher. She may be gangly and not quite proportioned right but Maigoth was perfect just the way she was.
Her own heart was racing now, she was sharing Maigoth's anxiety, and it was taking her breath away. She felt herself starting to shake and Syr'a had to force herself to calm down. "I can't do this with you all in a panic love, please calm down." She said breathlessy as she laid a gentle hand on Maigoth's muzzle. Just her rider's touch was enough to calm Maigoth, at least enough for her to answer sheepishly, {{Sorry.}}
"Its okay, lets get going though or we'll be really late," Syr'a said as she took one last look at herself. She'd hauled out her one and only dress, the blue one with silver flowers embroidered at the neck and hem, and had brushed her hair smooth and let it hang down her back and around her face. She looked as presentable as she could manage and was eager to get the feast over with. Maigoth's anxiety was catching.
It only took the new gold pair a few moments to reach where the Hatching Feast was being held and they hovered outside, just beyond the light and watched for a while. }}We can do this love, come on,{{ Syr'a pleaded silently with Maigoth. The gold dragonet swallowed her fears as best she could and sidled up close to Syr'a before answering, {{Lets hurry.}} The pair finally made their way in and headed, as quickly as possible, towards the two other weyrlings she felt comfortable around. "Jeri, L'darin, can we join you?" Syr'a asked when she and Maigoth finally made it to the table.

Azuka smiled a small blush hinting her cheeks, it was Kozue that answered for her "When she first arrived here. I helped her around the Weyr." he replied his voice serious as his expressionless gaze. Azuka looked up at Kozue though she didn't see him "He's been like an older brother in looking after me." she added smiling greatfully.
A little green wove her way through the crowd followed by a chocolate brown that drew many glances, the brown finding his sat down by Kozue {{I'm sorry I didn't want to bother you mine but, Erkendth wanted to be with hers. She didn't know where to go}} he explained his head bowed. Patting Hiexpetoth on the head Kozue's lips quirked in a little smile his eyes unfocusing as he talked to his lifemate *You did right Hiex. Don't appologise you weren't disburbing me in anyway* he reasurred his brown friend.
Erkendth placed her head under Azuka's hand and the girl smiled "Hello Erkendth" she whispered smiling. {{I didn't want to sleep mine I wanted to be with you, he was upsetting you}} the green replied not happy with the Weyrleader in any way for the way he treated her Azuka. "I'm okay now Erkendth, say hello to Riona, she was my friend when I was at the harper hall." Azuka told Erkendth who looked over to Riona with gentled eyes {{Hello, thank you for looking after mine before I found her}} she said directly to Riona.

Riona grinned as the little green spoke to her, while Azuka stroked her head. }}You're quite welcome little one. She's the best friend I've ever had. I know she's in good hands with you.{{ She took a sip of her wine, looking fondly upon the two newly impressed pairs.
{{Aren't you going to introduce me?}} Valorth inquired. }}Of course darling, but you're a bit too big to fit inside the dining cavern.{{ Valorth rumbled in response and Riona laughed. At the inquireing look from Azuka, she explained. "Valorth wants to introduce herself, though I don't think she'll fit in here. But she can say hi to you from here." With that Valoth took the opening to speak directly to Azuka. {{So you're Azuka the harper? Riona tells me good things about you. It is well that you are here. Be welcome rider.}}

Erkendth nodded and crooned softly back to Riona, making Azuka smile. Azuka's smile widened as Valorth spoke to her, }}I am. Thank you Valorth.{{ She replied smiply. Kozue just nodded between the two, as he patted Hiex who sat patiently by his side.
T'mar got up leaving L'ko where he sat, to walk over to Syr'a before she sat down, "Is Maigoth doing alright." he asked before realising his manners "I'm T'mar, of Green Rectusth. I'm the Weyr Dragonhealer. Weyrling now too. I was concerned about Maigoth considering the reaction she got earlier on" he expressed his concern as a dragon healer when Rectusth came trotting in over to T'mar, looking over at Maigoth she blinked {{Hello sister, no one has been mean to you have they?}} she asked, bristling with the thought of someone disrespecting someone else.

((grrrrr darn thing ate my post!!!!))
"--need to work on the wherry, though," L'darin was saying when he heard a query from behind him. He turned around on the bench and found himself staring up at Syr'a. He grinned at her, his usual greeting for the now-goldrider.
"Of course you can, d'you think we'd have you walk all the way across the room and then make you sit somewhere else?"
{{Greetings, gold sister,}} Mandarth said politely to Maigoth.
{{Yes, hello,}} said Chuuith, much less formal, eliciting a rare giggle from Jeri.
}}Hello, gold Maigoth. We are glad to have you here,{{ Jeri said to the little gold, who seemed a bit nervous. Then she realized she hadn't greeted Syr'a yet. People before dragons, she scolded herself.
"Please do sit, Syr'a, there's plenty of food and you and L'darin are the only people I know here," she said, smiling at the new goldrider.
L'darin scooted over on his bench so that Syr'a could sit there if she wanted. He smiled down at Maigoth. "So how're the both of you?" he asked of the gold pair.

Before S'ai could answer, he got a tingling from Zwaarth that he had just finished his nap and was wondering where everyone was. Before Zwaarth could panic, S'ai hastily assured Zwaarth of his well being and where he currently was. Zwaarth-Love, everything is fine. I am in the dining cavern where all the other weyrlings are. There is a feast going on. I would have taken you with me but you had fallen asleep as soon as you climbed your wallow. S'ai explained.
Since Zwaarth was assured by His that everything was fine, he would have gone back to sleep but he did not want to miss out on things that would be happening at the feast. So getting out from his wallow, he stretched his body just like a feline would after waking up from their slumber. His wings furled open as he stretched and his sharp claws gouched deep grooves on the rim of the wallos as he flexed and stretched them. {{I am going to join you, Rider-Mine.}} Zwaarth told S'ai as he made his way towards the Dining Cavern.
Do you want me to come get you? S'ai asked a little anxious should Zwaarth get lost in the passage ways towards the dining cavern or get hurt as Zwaarth travelled. {{No, stay where you are and enjoy the feast. I can find you easily enough.}} Zwaarth replied with confidence of his ability to find S'ai. As you wish, Dear-Heart. S'ai replied glad that Zwaarth wanted to join him but worried about what might befall Zwaarth as he traveled by himself towards the dining cavern.
Turning back his attention to B'len, "Zwaarth has just informed me that he is on his way here." S'ai stated. He was rather torn on wanting to go to Zwaarth and make sure that nothing ill befalls his dragon but on the otherhand, he wanted to trust Zwaarth on his ability to be alright by himself as he travelled from the weyrling barracks to the dining cavern. "I do not know what Hikinth will get you into, but Zwaarth is already driving me into anxiety when he stated that he did not want me to come get him from the weyrling barracks. I told him I could come over and get him, but no, he wanted to come here all by himself. I just pray to Faranth that nothing ill happens to him." S'ai told B'len in a state of anxiety. That was rather a novel feeling for him for he had never been anxious about his brothers and sisters when they were out and about playing or getting themselves into various mischiefs that he had gotten them out of. Now all of a sudden he was very anxious for Zwaarth's safety when nothing would ever want to hurt a dragonet especially a bronze inside a weyr. Still, nothing could prevent him from being anxious until he knew first hand that Zwaarth was safe and sound.

Riona smiled as Vorloth intrduced herself to Azuka. Her eyes shifted to Kozue and his bown. "That a fine Brown lad you have there Kozue. He seems very calm. I imagine that should make things a bit easier on you. Valorth, alas," She sighed dramatically. "Was a wellspring of energy when she was a hatchling. Not that she's improved all that much. She's frequently awake and yacking my ear off when I'm dead on my feet." She smiled fondly.
A new, lively song started up and many in the cavern joined in the dancing. Looking around for an available partner, Riona's eyes fell on Kozue. She stood and held out a hand invitingly to him, but addressed Azuka. "Well he talks, but does he dance?"

{{I'm coming too mine, I'll follow Zwaarth}} Hikinth informed B'len who laughed as Hikinth chose the perfect moment to speak after S'ai finished. "Well we can both worry, Hikinth has decided to follow Zwaarth here" B'len replied shaking his head in dismay without a second thought. "Hikinth is a little too friendly, I wonder what happened to that hatchling jealousy we were told about. Hikinth gets along with everyone." it was true Hikinth like Zwaarth to S'ai was already causing worries to B'len, he just hoped the two dragonets made it here safely.
Azuka grinned at Riona, "He can, I'll go accompany the harpers while you two dance" getting up Azuka placed a hand on Erkendth's head and the two made their way onto the harper stand where she picked up the lively tune with equally lively words in her soft alto voice. A hum from the back of the room joining them as Novusth made his appearence and sat next to Azuka with Erkendth singing with Azuka while his danced.
Kozue nodded and took Riona's hand, leading her onto the dance floor before swiftly waltzing into the song with near perfect timing. Whoever said Healers couldn't dance were more wrong than they thought as Kozue led Riona skillfully, Hiexpetoth waiting by the table patiently.

Riona smiled as Kozue lead her around the dance floor. Shards he was a good dancer! The quiet ones always surprise you. She sighed apreichatively as Azuka added her voice to the song. {{Hmmm I could do this all night.}} she told Valorth.
As the song came to it's climax, Kozue spun her out and back, catching her in his arms. A very good dancer, she decided. They applauded the harpers, and as another tune was struck, she raised an inquiring eyebrow at Kozue. "Shall we continue, good sir?" She asked playfully.

Zwaarth made his slow way out of the weyrling barracks looking with interest at what he passed along the way. It was not long until he learned that someone was following him. Looking back, he saw his clutch mate brown Hikinth. Deciding that it would be better to have a companion as he walked over to the dining cavern, Zwaarth waited for Hikinth to catch up with him. {{Hey there Hikinth, clutch brother. Want to walk together towards the dining cavern where our Chosen are?}} Zwaarth asked in a friendly tone. Zwaarth didn't mind walking with Hikinth and he sure was not jealous of Hikinth. He knew very well that he and His was very much bonded with each other and did not fear of that bond being broken or superseded by another.
S'ai hearing that B'len's Hikinth was also on his way over relaxed a bit because at least Zwaarth would have company. "At least, they are together and not alone. Hopefully they will not get into any trouble." S'ai stated. Then being reminded of Hikinth's friendliness and apparent lack of jealousy against another dragonet, S'ai shook his head at his own wonder. "I know what you mean. Zwaarth and I are so deeply bonded that I don't think he would be jealous if I spent a little time talking with another dragonet. I think Zwaarth knows that I won't ever replace him for another. Besides, I don't think it would feel the same with another dragonet." S'ai stated his opinion on the dragonets' lack of jealousy towards another.

B’ne grunted out his agreence of other places to be “Yes some place else would be great. With Yasashiith or in the stables would be a much better place. Then again the hatching interrupted midday meal for the most part, so couldn’t pass up the food. Specially not after that annoying gnawing that Yas so kindly shared.” he added as his gaze shifted to the odder of the bronzeriders in their class following him.
“Odd? Yes I guess that is the best way to describe him. Defiantly a strange boy, with a dragon to match.” he added watching J’vyn.

Both Syr'a and Maigoth jumped at the strange voice that asked after Maigoth. Syr'a turned to see who it was and Maigoth slowly edged in behind Syr'a, looking around the side of her to watch the conversation between the two riders. Syr'a noted Maigoth's actions but didn't comment on them, instead she answered the other weyrling, "She's fine, her nerves are a bit shot though."
She smiled as he remembered to introduce himself and followed his lead and did the same. "I was Syriella before Maigoth found me, now she has renamed me to Syr'a. Apparently its easier to say." This last bit she said with a laugh and added, "I guess my mother picked complicated names, my sister's name was shortened when she Impressed three turns ago too."
After she'd introduced herself to T'mar, Syr'a heard Jerodyn and L'darin's answer to her question about sitting with them and she turned and smiled. "Thanks guys," she replied before turning back to T'mar and asking, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, have you? If you haven't would you like to sit with us?" Considering Jeri's comment about not knowing anybody else, Syr'a didn't figure she'd be opposed to another fellow rider joining them. She wasn't sure about L'darin but she took the seat next to him and waited to see what T'mar said.
*****
Maigoth watched anxiously as Syr'a talked to the other rider and she nearly jumped out of her hide when one of her clutch sisters spoke to her. She creeped further behind her rider before answering nervously, {{Not in person no but I heard them all at the Hatching.}} When her green sister didn't seem to be eager to join in the teasing that had taken part at the hatching, Maigoth stretched her neck out, letting her nose touch her sister's and she gave the green a sniff. {{You won't make fun of me will you? You don't think I look like a wher right?}} she asked hopefully. Even if other dragons and humans made fun of her, if her clutch siblings wouldn't then maybe she would be okay.
Before Rectusth could answer, two more voices came into her mind and Maigoth whimpered. She whimpered again when Syr'a moved away from her and went to sit down. Without her rider right by her, Maigoth felt even more nervous and when she turned to see her other two siblings who had spoken to her, her eyes were whirling fast with fear. Only when she recognized them as the pair that she had eaten next to right after hatching, those Impressed to her own rider's friends, did Maigoth relax a bit. {{Hello,}} she said anxiously to both of them.
When a human voice came into her mind, Maigoth nearly panicked. Why was everybody talking to her?! She looked for the source of the voice and calmed when she saw it was one of Syr'a's friends. Just so the human would not think her rude, Maigoth answered, {{Thank you.}} Then she turned back to her three siblings and waited for them to talk more as she was sure they would. While she waited, she curled up in as small a ball as her gangly golden body could.

It hadn’t been hard to find Pona, she was the only female with a blue dragon so small. So he had given the toddler he had rescued Jay from to her and both had seemed happy to see each other. Now though he was smoothing out his gather clothes, or more exactly his best set of clothes as he had no real gather clothes. He pouted looking down at himself “Oh I don’t look proper for a hatching feast.” he complained stomping his foot.
Onusth tilted her head looking her chosen over. He looked fine to her, but maybe he just thought differently then her or couldn’t see himself properly. {{I think you look good G’ceon. Now come on most of my clutchmates are already there we are going to be late.}} she told him her eyes whirling happily. She had taken a short nap while Hers had found clothes for himself so she was feeling much better now.
The boy sighed running his hands over the all hide outfit. It wasn’t one he wore often because it was so nice, but it was the best he had in something close to a gather outfit. He liked the dark hunter shade of green it was, even his boots matched as he had colored ones just for this outfit. Shaking his head G’ceon picked up his rock pouch throwing the strap over his head and resettling it till the strap ran from his shoulder to his hip before heading for the door.
Glancing around as he made his way into the dining caverns he noticed that he was indeed a good bit late, but he couldn’t help it. As the latest song ended he spotted J'vyn and made his towards the other boy, he just felt like it would only be right to make sure he was feeling better after that episode on the sands. “Hey Jay.” he called to the boy once he was close enough.
Onusth followed after G’ceon ‘accidentally’ tripping a few people on her way with the swishing of her tail.

"It's just Kozue" he whispered in her ear as he spun her back out moving into the next tune as easily as he had the first. Azuka smiled to herself though she couldn't see them Erkendth's distorted image was enough for her to see how well they got along. As the next tune started she picked up the flute beside her and began to play along. |
