Sig scooted even closer to the scared boy, [Sigrun good. Food?]] Valder shook his head at Sig, then nodded at the lame cow. "Aye, she'll be fine. I'll let one of the herders know, so they can give 'er

"Garatt. M'name's Valder. Ya didn't do nothin wrong." Valder nodded at the lame cow, then put a hand on the fence. "I was jest worrit ya'd fall off the fence and git hurt. That's why I sent Sig here a

The quick change in the boy -he was acting like a beaten pup- made Valder step back and hold up his hands in a calming gesture. His tone and words had been a bit rough, as usual, but he hadn't been tr

When the boy turned around, Sig released him, thinking he was getting off the fence. [[Down. Val say down.]] The boy's polite request was only half lost on the green wher. He still looked like he was

P'ryn looked up and nodded at the other boy, "It's a'ight. Scally, belay. 'm glad to see you too." He had to hold a hand up to get the happy black canine to settle down. Which was actually pretty easy

The first thought that popped into Valder's head when Sig said she smelled a new man was beast rustlers. But he quickly dismissed that idea. Who would dare try to steal here, where dragons patrolled?

P'ryn started walking and whistling again after he was satisfied that Scally looked happy enough, and was soon enough within easy hearing range of not only dogs, but humans too. Scally stopped dead in

Valder and Sig were moving along one side of the herd of breeding stock, just out for a walk to let the green wher expend some energy, which she seemed to have an abundance of lately. He had also spot

Scally was yipping and jumping at Garatt as he let her out, and she stood up on her hind legs, forepaws on his leg until he crouched down. Then she tipped her head so he could scratch some of the itch

Scally was thrilled to see the boy that was so close to her boy's age. She missed her boy, he had been gone for so long. This boy was almost as good, but he smelled injured somehow. Still, she began t

It was nearly the end of Zy'fen's daily physical therapy session, and he was getting ready to take a seat and remove the wooden leg when he spotted Goldrider Andronda stepping into the room and taking

Nerenth bowed his head, {{We are comfortable, beauteous Nykantiath. The dust is settling -mostly on my hide- and the sky is sunny.}} There was amusement in Nerenth's tone. {{And we are together. That

Nerenth shuffled aside to give Nykantiath a bit more room, though he remained in front of the weyr opening for the most part. {{Thank you for the offer, I will bathe later. The young ones are good for

Zy'fen sat down hard on the bench just outside his weyr, and put the crutches beside him. The past few months of physical therapy was paying off, but it was hard work. He was worn out from that day's

Nerenth was sunning himself while His rested, out in front of their new weyr. The past few moons had been filled with rough winds, but the skies were clearing now. Still, the brown dragon was more pro

Zy'fen nodded. "It's weird to feel the ghost of my leg. Sometimes it feels like it's twitching, or itchy. Sometimes it just hurts. Why do I feel like it's still there?"

Almira gave Insaya a grateful look when she poured her a cup of tea. "Thanks, and sorry, I'm a little tired." Then something belatedly dawned on her, and the look changed to one of awe and concern. "Y

It took some doing, and more than a few minutes, to get to the baths and into the water. Zy'fen almost fell over more than once. It was difficult to adjust his center of balance to compensate for the

Zy'fen nodded. "I'm no stranger to hard work. I know it won't be easy. But it'll be worth it. I won't be able to go everywhere I used to, though. Flying is off limits for me now, I think." He didn't s

Zy'fen knew he'd let the sudden change in his life get him down, but now he was done with that. Nerenth needed him, and he was more than ready. So when Cuylar -Zy has to think hard to recall the Heale
