As D'vik got within range Fabio cheeped and went still. The large man reached towards her hair cautiously, saying "Just hold on a moment, I can see where he's caught a bit better than you can behind

"Well... there was this one time, I was able to sneak a fish out of Ista's Lake, Sunstreath caught a little one for me- and I glued it to the underside of the Weyrlingmaster's desk. I was in there a

"Asheran. Call me Ash," he answered the bronze rider, and felt himself grinning. The drink he was holding was practically empty already - he'd been nursing it like a baby flit that needed all of his

"I've been around," she admitted. "I'd love to do whercraft, though. Did I do something wrong?" she queried, feeling self-conscious for the first time.

The slight tention that had thrumbed through her automatically faded. She offered a cautious smile to the tall, wide bluerider. "Yiyu, yes. I have a kitten, myself, and he often gets tangled. Don't-

"You need a craft, Larenne," Kassia said, wondering how the girl had fallen through the cracks. "Most likely it's going to be whercraft since you have a wher, but if your wher is trustworthy enough

"I don't think so," Sarati said, looking at the rider Shalia indicated, just one of the multiple men starting to gather around. She smiled, flirting slightly with no one in particular and undoing a

Oh dear Faranth, what had she gotten herself into? "That much I got done," she said, honestly. "But I didn't know there was more to living here than the slim hope I'd find her."

"What's the best prank you ever pulled?" Kassia asked, trying to imagine I'des as a Weyrling and grinning. "What trouble did you get yourself up to?"

Shalia eyed the wher a little askance; she was comfortable with them, what with her aunt's wher and her brother going into the whercraft, but that just meant she knew just what they were capable of in

D'vik shook his head at Fabio's predicament and disappeared again, pulling himself along the far side of the dragon till he could stand, he pulled himself out of the water, knowing that any second

"I don't drink much." I'des responded. "But when I do- definitely Benden stuff is the best." An affirmative nod, before he paused, considering. "I like.. well, I like Sunstreath, and Weyr life. I

"Ah, so you just got here?" Kassia asked. "Has he taken his tests to make sure he can stay in the Weyr yet?"

Smiling down at Ashran, D'cul nodded amicably. "It is. I'm D'cul of Bronze Seteieth, and you?" Hearing Sarati address them, the man grinned at the greenrider and nodded. "Enjoying it all, Sarati! You

"I sort of came here looking to find my little sister. I haven't quite figured out where I belong with Larensk," she admitted sheepishly.

"Shards," she said, though amusement lit her gaze. As the recent possesser of a kitten, she was becoming adept at disentangling things from her hair. Even so, she found it hard to reach the

Larenne arched one brow in amusement. Larensk snuffled her hand and she thumbed his side companionably, letting her gaze scan the rest of the party casually.

"I like Bendens," Kassia said. "I didn't bring the best stuff because that costs even me an arm and a leg, but this is good stuff. What sorts of things in life do you like, I'des?" OOC: me neither ; )

"Let's go," she agreed, cheerfully, as they left the two whers to themselves. OOC: I'm closing this one here, but would like another if you would.

When Alyx saw Asheran enter the party, she couldn't help flushing a little. But she told herself it's the wine, nothing more. By now someone had given her a second glass, this time a red rather than
