Her wings were beginning to feel the strain of her acrobatic flight, and the winds were beginning to get a little rough as well, a hint of a storm on the way. It was time to choose. And so many fine d

Catching a thermal in her wings, Nykantiath rose higher still, slowing her wingbeats to allow the wind to carry her for a bit and save some of her energy for the chase to come. She glanced back, pleas

Nykantiath eyed the challengers, posing and preening and thinking they were worthy of her. Some of them she didn't know so well, there were a few there she actually liked quite well. But all of them w

For the past several days, Nykantiath had been more antsy, more energetic, and definitely more outgoing. Well, she'd always been outgoing, but lately she'd been wanting attention from pretty much *any

If a dragon could laugh, Nykantiath did. She snorted and trilled and broadcasted very obvious amusement at the visuals of her presiding over an impossibly enormous clutch of brightly colored firelizar

What? Oh! She'd completely forgotten that she'd sent for those. "Yes, yes, just fine," Andronda waved the question off, despite the slight wheeze to her voice. "Just a small disagreement with some flo

Perhaps it was the fact that Nykantiath was looking a little brighter than she usually did, more gold, if that could be possible. Maybe it was that she was being more outgoing to the dragons around he

She couldn't help but smile at the awkwardness D'jarin was displaying. It was endearing to see, and refreshing, also. She was used to bronzeriders who were so self assured as to think it their due tha

Andronda waited with commendable patience as she heard the jingling and jiggling of the lock as key after key was tried. It was as well that she wasn't claustrophobic, because while the cupboard wasn'

The guards had been informed of the visitor, and after a cursory search and inspection, D'jarin was waved into the weyr. Andronda was waiting on the other side of the door, all smiles at the bronze ri

It had been a few months since the Frost Fayre, and she had meant to do this sooner, really she had, but being a gold rider meant that she had tons of work and not much free time. She felt a little gu

Nykantiath had just been bathed and oiled, and Andronda had left to go start her office work for the day, leaving the gold to sun herself on the beach by the lake. The problem was, the gold wasn't rea

Yla peered down through thick lenses at the flit sitting on the table in front of her, creeling for food. Couldn't be a wild one, given how comfortable it was around so many people, but no one came fo

That...was a good question. Andronda hadn't actually looked for any key when going in, hadn't even thought to look, because she hadn't thought about a door locking on her. Surely it would be somewhere

Oh thank Faranth! Andronda stopped knocking when she heard the muffled voice on the outside of the cupboard. At least she wasn't going to be stuck in here for ages and ages. She might be embarrassed o

Maemi felt herself grow tongue-tied at the question and sudden scrutiny. She pressed against her father's side, feeling very shy all of a sudden. Jautil came to her rescue, wrapping a reassuring arm a

She'd been going over storeroom inventories, and had chosen a random store cupboard at random to do a spot check audit, just to make sure things were getting recorded properly. Mostly it was an excuse

"That would depend on whether she wants to accept, and whether her family allows it," Yeha answered Gayatri, her voice low so as to carry only to the Weyrling. "Since there's no clutch on the Sand, Se

"Thank you all for your cooperation," Yeha began, stepping forward to take control of the Search. Since she was the official Searchrider here, she'd be the one to confirm what Edyth had already passed

"I-I'm fine," Andronda insisted, through chattering teeth as the guards checked her over for injuries. Well, other than her throbbing ankles, and being practically frozen. But she wasn't in serious da
