"We need to get out of here. They know we were with a goldrider- we're suspects now. R'tal *knows* me and now these guards do too." V'rex fretted, tried to pull away. "Need to get to Muikoth- get out

"She isn't going to die, Bl'by, she is safe with her guards," T'baran answered. "Lets get to our dragons and go to the Weyr. Tiddler probably needs to be let out, yeah? Before he turns your weyr

"I want to go home." Bl'by said under his breath once they were safely heading away. The alcohol that had added to the fun earlier was roiling around his stomach now. Finding somewhere quiet to throw

V'rex was too shaken to reply verbally still- but he let T'baran put an arm around him, stayed close to both the green rider and Bl'by. He was still shaking a little bit, face drawn and pale. He had

IC Date Reference: Set first day of the Gather, IC date 8.28.6.1, later in the day after the Arolos Cup. So far, the day had been looking exceptionally prosperous. Now that the races were over and

T'baran's opinion of Andronda grew in that moment--he was pleased that she wa level headed enough to keep her guards from bullying them; he wasn't as sure that Kassia or Delysia would've been so quick

"No, Bl'by. No one will try to question Traynth. There's no reason to," Andronda said, before the guards could open their mouths. "You and yours did nothing wrong, and did a great service in seeing

Bl'by licked dry lips and made the effort to find his voice. "Bl'by. Of blue Traynth. But he can't-- they won't question Traynth, will they?" That question was addressed to Andronda direct and had a

"Mion, *please*!" Andronda set herself besides the other three riders, at least momentarily. She held her hands up to keep the guards from advancing on T'barand for his attitude. She understood that

Apparently the guards weren't able to just accept the fact that they had done them a favor, and were going to push all the wrong buttons. He knew that Bl'by wasn't going to take questioning well

V'rex stared at the strangers- both strong, both armed- before his gaze flicked to the woman and then back to the guards. No. No, no no no.... Not like this. Not this all over again. He hadn't done

Bl'by's mouth opened and shut again, but no sound came out. This was how it started, this was where it went wrong, this was the path you headed down which ended in another gold questioning Traynth and

Andronda wished on her dragon's shell that she could have remained just some anonymous lady that had gone dancing, especially with the way Bl'by and T'baran were now looking at her. Like she was

The greenrider knew that it was inevitable that guards appear at some point. There had just been an alleged attempt on Kassia's life, so it was natural to protect the other goldriders present. His

"We need to get out of here now!" V'rex insisted, eyes wide and in the middle of a not so fun panic attack, the presence of the guards only heightening his stress, T'baran's words only partially

Bl'by hadn't been listening, hadn't really absorbed what T'baran had said before, was not in any way ready for a pair of guards to approach them. It was fortunate that his automatic action if

Andronda had been alarmed when the one rider had recognized her; someone had stabbed one Weyrwoman, who was to say there weren't riders involved, and without her knots and everyone panicking, was

OOC: THANK YOU! I was running totally late!

((Tried? Then she is thankfully unhurt,)) Truenoth said, relieved. ((Are you speaking to her? Is she coming to you? Shall I go get her for you?)) *** ((Someone tried to hurt Mine!)) Foreth said to

"Ah," Revai relaxed. "What would you like to know?"
