"I'm alright," he shot back stubbornly, because he was a teenage boy, and she was a girl - even if she was older. He didn't stop swimming when she had, so he made up some ground... or, well, water -

“Oh shells don’t say that.” Ok’lin actually winced. “Zingiberth already thinks he’s the one that keeps me together.” In truth that was kind of true, he was not sure where he would

Ishi nodded, “of course Sir.” She smiled at him as she sat back to takenotes for him. Part of her itched to goand sit with the young man but she knew that was the need to comfort coming outin

Lerian darted off the path really quick, and came back with a large handful of red berries, which he held out to share with Almira. He tossed one into his mouth with a grin and went around the bend of

~~~~~~ "You've caught me at a good time." Delysia admitted, as she rolled up the scroll that she'd been reading from. "I'm just about done going over the inventory of this quarter's tithe from the

~~~~~~ Kyn'dras grinned sympathetically. "Not quite what you were hoping for, is it?" He guessed. "But it really is difficult to put to words." His eyes gazed off into the distance as he turned his

Almira looked in the direction Lerian was pointing, but she glanced back the way they'd come, just for a moment before once again following him down the path. They hadn't told anyone where they were

Alyx didn't seem to be having any issues. She was an avid swimmer, and at home in the water. She was also a healer apprentice and used to listening for the sounds of distress. She rolled over onto her

"Oh, all sorts of things. Growing up a trader brat gave me plenty of opportunities..." And then she was swamped by the wave. As she resurfaced, her hair was all in her face and she shook her head

The waterfall was beautiful, though apparently distracting since he'd not noticed how close the bronser pair had settled. Neffeyn spun, startled, in the bronzerider's direction at the greeting, but

“Nothing at all to worry about.” Vashi made a face “Hold people are often limited in how they see things. Anything different is to be rediculed because it isn’t what they are used to. But

((It's just water.)) Sunstreath snorted, opening one gleaming eye; he'd been having much the same conversation with his own rider, from where he'd been attempting to sun- bask. I'des only grinned,

Ishkana nodded quickly. Yes, if she felt ill she knew where to come. "Well sort of, we always had a healer but it wasn't always the same one," she replied. "They'd come, stay a while, and then they'd

Taregs non scissor holding hand darted out, grabbing a meat roll and pulling back just as quick, mouth watering. Sure he had eaten earlier- thanks to the rider- but he was still starving. Eyeing

"A wild child?" T'od was intrigued, "Tell me more, what sort of mischief did you used to get up to?" Awsonth snorted. Surely Stakarth didn't think that she, with a much smaller mass than him, would be

Ishkana stepped in, the tray held carefully in her hands. "Klah and nibbles as requested, sir," she commented, edging over to a nearby table and putting the tray on it. She looked the young man over

Ah, that explained the stumble. Ishkana grinned. "Hopefully I'd have been quick enough to catch you!" she said, and reached out hands to draw both girls nearer. "So what are we looking for, do we

Looking down at Ishixi, T'od gave a firm nod. "Of course, I just meant that getting him sorted comes first. Once he's settled I can eat, and then it's usually straight to bed. I don't have much of a

"Not necessarily," T'od said slowly, "I just wonder sometimes where Awsonth gets his knowledge from when it's not stuff I know. He's never been able to explain it, he just says he knows things." He

Swimming across a lake after running around it for the better part of the last two hours was a bad idea, Asheran realised belatedly. His lungs were already burning, and his muscles pulled at each
