(OOC: I decided this will be between finding out about Timing and Kaith's flight. Easiest place to put it.)
Timing. What a new concept for a young wingleader to wrap his mind around. G'han had some personal attachment to this subject. His long time friend, K'dan, was with the first group who discovered this new thing. The poor boy had a bad reaction to it too. G'han shook his head and sighed.
He had just gotten out of another meeting with Christae and the other wingleaders. They'd been running this new concept through drills. G'han's wing had a few participants in practicing timing. G'han himself didn't, however. He saw the effects for himself, and heard enough from K'dan. Besides, he was a wingleader and he was cautious. This was very new and experimental. If he somehow messed this up, which he assumed if any bronzerider would it would be him, then the weyr would be short one wingleader.
No, he'd sit back and do plenty of drills and practice with his team on the sidelines. He'd coach, but not participate. G'han dragged himself into his weyr. It was starting to become routine for him. Drag yourself into weyr, throw clothes off, fall into bed, wake up next morning hoping you don't assume you had too much to drink.
His latest...could we say love interest?....Andilay didn't even get to see as much of him. G'han took to this like he did anything else, work himself to the bone and become stronger for it. It wasn't the easiest method, but it was often G'han's. G'han stripped to just his under garments and flopped on his bed lazily. "Owwwww", he moaned as he just lay across his bed, legs hanging off on the side.
"I will move...later", he said as he sighed. All day, he'd been going at it all day. It didn't help that he refused to ditch his early morning work out. No, he just bumped that earlier so he could get in the time to train and work out. Then he'd do...pretty much anything and everything he could required of his position and more.
It didn't help that during these meetings, G'han could now see the effects of handling a weyr on her own had on Christae and he felt compelled to help her as best he could. He'd take on a little extra, often times begging for it. He had no problems with grovelling, if it meant he could help out. Some did call him ambitious however. Some even thought he was trying to grasp for a higher position, after just getting the wingleader position.
But that was not G'han at all. He didn't really like power. He liked to help, he didn't like power. He wasn't much on responsibility either, but look at the position he was in now. No, he was content helping where he could. But yet another blow would hit the weyr. A brownrider and his dragon never returned from one trip. Distress filled the weyr and of course this meant even more focus would be placed on this new ability so that this could be prevented from happening.
Now no one was allowed to use this new ability without the queen's permission. It was a good call, G'han thought. He shook his head in agreement with himself. G'han turned his head to the side and stared at the pillow at the head of the bed. So close, but too far away for G'han's liking. He didn't feel like moving. But to be honest, he wouldn't have minded a bath right now either. But that would be too much trouble and he may just fall asleep in there and drown.
G'han huffed, a bit frustrated. If only he had a bit more energy and was a little less sore. Gerenanth was sleeping peacefully on his ledge, lucky dragon. G'han huffed yet again. Gerenanth had decided to get some shut eye before G'han even got back to his weyr. Gerenanth was just throwing it in G'han's face, the bronzerider knew it!

Andilay missed G'han. That was all there was to say. She didn't have much to do during the days... she had actually spent most of the past several days doing dishes in the kitchen. Sure, she still did her exercises every morning. She needed to keep herself in shape and in routine. But she also needed to switch it up soon, or her muscles would get lazy.
The reason she was in the kitchen? She needed to do chores since she was a candidate... but since there weren't that many candidates, she picked up extra chores. Not that she had too, it was just... the excess tedium was starting to get to her. She was getting rather depressed... and she hated that.
Rayn had her weyrling classed to go to, her dragon to take care of. While Andilay enjoyed their time together , it was so short nowadays.
My, how she had changed.
She used to be a loner. After all, she had traveled for a good few turns alone. The only companions were her Patrons. And they changed often and rarely needed her services again. She hadn't gotten much chance to get familiar with anyone until Rayn.... and now G'han, and a few others, who she also didn't see! It was enough to make a girl drink. But even that was no fun to do alone.
So it was that she found herself at G'han's door to his weyr. She knocked once before walking in with a "I don't really care if your decent, so I'm coming in!"
What she saw was a plum-tuckered-out bronze rider, collapsed on his bed, without even the energy to drag his pillow underneath his head. "Oh... you poor dear."
She felt herself go all soft inside as she saw the man she was....fond? of in such a state. She walked over to him, and lightly sat on his ass, then began working on his shoulder muscles in a good massage. "If you fall asleep, I'm waking you up. So either stay awake and revel in this, or get an awakening later. What kind depends on how I feel about it at the time."

G'han winced slightly when he felt Andilay sit on him. Wait, Andilay? She came in? G'han's level of awareness was shot. He was shot. Still, what followed after was something G'han didn't mind at all. He groaned slightly as he felt the tension beginning to ease in his muscles.
"I'm sorry dear, but if you keep that up I will just fall asleep", G'han said, the tone reflected how very tired he was. He shifted slightly, giving her better access to his body. "Heh. I haven't felt like this in awhile", he said as he looked off to the side. The only difference between that last time and now was that he had a pretty lady massaging his shoulders. "Only the difference now is that I've got a pretty lady easing the tension", G'han added, reflecting his own thoughts.
He would try to stay awake for her, but it was hard. Still, something about the way she said that nearly put G'han off a bit. His body wasn't the only thing that was tense. His mind was on edge and he had started to get a bit snappy. His wing noticed. They were good people. Seeing how hard their wingleader was working only inspired them to do more, or most of them. They would excuse the snippets of snappy behavior here and there for now, understanding the pressure. But people's patience only went so far.
G'han extended his arms outward, spreading himself out. He grunted slightly as he did so. Feeling weak wasn't something G'han liked either, but he did like the feeling of pushing himself. He found odd comfort in it, when he didn't have a family. Now he had one, but old feelings were starting to creep in now that his mental barriers were under the attack of his own stress. Sometimes it was just easier to slip back to old ways that way.
"Come to keep a tired old bronzerider some company?", he finally got around to asking her. He gave her a tired smile, but closed his eyes. He was still awake, just enjoying the massage. He gave a slight moan of pleasure as she continued to massage. "Just what the healer ordered", he stated simply. He was putty in her hands right now. This felt amazing after a hard day's work.

Andilay concentrated. Sure, if he fell asleep, she couldn't talk to him, but it would also mean that she had done a good job in making him relax. She had mixed feelings as to what she would prefer more. After she felt his shoulders relax to a satisfactory point, she moved lower, into his back muscles and such. She had seen him a few times with his wing. He was working hard. She had this feeling that he liked to loose himself in his work. Something they had in common, though, Andilay was a little jealous. She was no where near a point where she could do her work. She had to admit... she missed it. She wondered... could she handle more of this tedium if she didn't impress next hatching? Or would she stay for... someone... and be miserable just a little more, in order to be happy a little?
She was unsure. She hated the quiet times... they gave her too much time to think. To second guess. She hated second guessing.
When G'han stretched, Andilay's attention was grabbed by his arms. Oh, she would be attacking them soon. They also looked to be in need of some TLC, as well as his legs... she'd do his ass last... not only because she was sitting on it... it was because... well, if he fell asleep, the attention she gave to that area might wake him up. And she would definitely give it some attention. But for now.. she would content herself with his lower back... and his 'man curve'. The curve of the lower back that she found positively sexy. Shhhh! It's a secret.
"Yes. But I have my own selfish reason's too. Healer's order or no."

G'han's body twitched when she moved from his shoulders to his back. Sometimes he could be ticklish there, especially when you hit the right spot, but tonight he was too tired to be ticklish. His body twitched again, tension in his back only increasing for a moment before his body went limp again.
"Oh dear Farenth, shards that feels good", he sighed as the tension now began to leave his back. He was feeling such incredible relief, and he was now coming to fully grasp how the day really took a toll on him. "We need to meet like this more often", G'han continued his offhand jokes. That personality of his was still there, just a mixture of others with it.
G'han let out another grunt. Yeah, she'd have to come here more often, especially after days like he'd been having lately. Good way to clear the tension from him. Unfortunantly, he'd be too tired to do much else. Not that G'han was really a manwhore. He didn't just sleep around. He just found himself...attracted to Andilay. And after a night like the night he had at the hatching feast, and the morning after, G'han was just in the right mood.
After all, waking up with Akki in bed did leave G'han a bit...hot and bothered, despite the fact he'd have never let on to Akki. Oho no. He'd flirt around with his dearest friend, but he'd never admit to actually being attracted to her. Wait, did G'han just say he was attracted to Akki? No no, that'd just make things confusing. Better to not think on that when he had Andilay so graciously giving him exactly what he needed.
Akki was always confusing, just now it was in a different manner. His relationship with Andilay was a tad confusing, but easier to grasp. Atleast there was some affection involved there. Like now. Her sitting atop him and easing his sore muscles.
"It'll be our little secret then. I honestly don't care at this point. You're doing wonders for my body right now", G'han smirked, then gave another moan just to emphasize the point. G'han's breathing was a bit easier now as well. All that pressure just seemed to have lifted from his lungs as she started to chip away at the tension in his back.
"Just do me a favor and don't stop. You're the best thing that's happened to me in awhile", G'han said, still in that tired tone. Of course he meant it in a completely different way, but he wasn't really focusing on his words too well, just the thoughts themselves.

Having finished with his back, she did a little work on his neck. She shouldn't forget about that. It was important... and after she had worked out the kins she ran her fingers through his hair a few times. She loved running her fingers through his hair.
That part of his body done, she moved off his ass and situated herself so that she sat by his head. With his arms stretched as they were, they were perfect for her to massage. She started from his fingers on his left hand, and worked her way up. She knew when a person had been pushing themselves too hard. The best thing was a nice massage. And she was gonna make sure it was a full body one.
"I thought I always did wonders for your body?" Ah, there was some of her sass. She had missed it.
Of course, the words he was speaking, in his tired way, did much to cheer her up. She knew there wasn't much depth to them, but they came from a warm place, and so she let them warm her.
"Oho, that's a mighty big favor there.I think your gonna owe me."

Could this get any better? Now his neck wasn't so cramped. Was every single muscle in his body so spent like this? Every muscle Andilay seemed to encounter was the right one. And so far she wasn't skipping any. G'han nearly hoped she wouldn't skip any, but he knew he was too tired for anything.
Now she was running her hands through his hair. G'han loved that. For a moment he drifted into a light doze as she did this. That was the number one way to relax G'han and put him to sleep. Though the massage was definently plenty relaxing enough. When she moved her hands from his hair, however, he woke up slowly. Too bad, G'han was enjoying that bit especially.
Not to take anything away from the massage, but that one motion was more than enough to put G'han into a relaxing sleep. But now? Now she was on his left hand. As she massaged, G'han motioned with his wrist and it popped. "Ugh", he said in response. That sounded nasty, but to G'han it felt very good. Even his joints and bones were being problematic.
G'han knew, or rather assumed, that his body would adapt eventually. It always had before, and he'd just come out stronger for it. It's something of an expectation he had always set for himself in the past and he always got pleasing results. Though right now the results he was getting were pretty pleasing.
"Oh Andilay. This is amazing. Really, thank you", G'han was being sincere as he gave another sigh. Bit by bit he was feeling better, and it was all thanks to her timely arrival. G'han smirked when he caught what she said. "Well you're certainly proving it now", he responded with a grin. Playful banter was nice as well. G'han had been lacking that a bit since he started this new routine of his.
"Will you accept an "I owe you"
Admin's Note:[/hr] Because I can't offer you much right now", G'han asked, then admitted. She would understand, wouldn't she? After all, she could see and feel first hand how wiped out G'han was. He hadn't been pushed to his limit in quite some time, not like this. G'han began moving his left arm slightly. Ah, so much easier to move it now. Maybe he'd get a bath or something after all. Maybe he'd be able to move around a bit after this.
He wouldn't be doing too much, but maybe a simple bath wasn't beyond reason. Or maybe he'd do that in the morning, when he actually got some rest. At any rate, he shifted his body slightly. "I'm going to help us both", G'han stated. He slowly moved around on the bed, various joints popping or making cracking sounds as he did so. He then lay rightly on his bed, with his head resting on his pillow and still laying on his stomach. She could continue once again.
Here was some food for thought. Maybe after she was done giving him a good massage, she'd be up for some cuddling tonight. That's about all G'han's tired body could offer her. Atleast they'd both be warm? She was already here after all. It was only polite to offer her a bed to sleep in, even if it was his own. Even if they wouldn't be doing much beyond the cuddling. He'd offer up that suggestion in a little bit. Right now he wanted to focus on the fact that he was experiencing something wonderful after a long day.

Andilay smiled. "To be quite honest, it's nice to be useful. I'm glad." His sincere comment warmed her more. She should do this more often. It would help her get through the days... the long boring days.
"I always prove it. No matter what 'IT' is, I always prove it. As long as it has something to do with me, of course." She gave him a small smile.
Andilay released his left arm, done with it. "An 'I.O.U.' from you? I'll take it gladly. This means you totally have to give me a massage sometime.... I dunno when. But that's what it means."
She was glad she finished with his left arm before he moved. Now she could simply sit to the right of him and do his right arm. She was just as thorough as she was with his left. She was used to giving massages, as Rayn could attest to.
"After I finish your massage, do you want me to drag you to the bath? I don't mind being your personal... maid? Ladies Maid? ...slave? Not sure what I'd be called... but no matter what it IS called, I don't mind doing it."
She finished his arm and scooted down the bed and started on his feet. She put in a good deal of thumb pressure here. Feet were important parts of the body. She spent a good amount of time on them, then worked her way up. She was gentle with the calf muscles, she knew that they would be particularly sensitive to the massage because of how often G'han exercised. She didn't want to put him in more pain, just release the stiffness of his muscles.

"Mmm. You're very useful right now", G'han simply stated. With so much tension leaving his body, he let his body go limp. Tension was still there, he just wasn't tensing up himself. He was getting comfortable with letting her work her magic hands. Such skilled hands that could be used to cut something, or someone, in two was being used to soothe his aches and pains.
G'han's right arm was being focused on now. G'han favored his right arm. It wouldn't show in his hand to hand combat style, since neither was the stronger arm. His father had cured that early on in his training. But as far as simpler things, such as manual labor and writing, G'han favored that right arm.
So it was of great comfort to him that the tension was being released from that arm. When she finished, he did the same as the other arm. He popped his wrist with an audible popping or cracking sound. He made another moaning sound, and Andilay moved to his feet. That felt very good, since G'han spent pretty much all day on his feet.
But when she moved to his legs, G'han really felt his muscles melt. He also felt another sensation, but we won't go too much into that one. "Mmm. You can just dump me in, then drag me out once I'm nice and soaked then hang me out to dry", G'han jested, speaking of himself as some filthy rag. He couldn't deny that a bath was just such a splendid idea, especially when someone else was willing to do all the work. Like actually moving.
G'han was now amused with himself. If he were in the right mood, he could probably get very lucky right now. But he was enjoying being babied like this. It was a very rare treat and he was very thankful to Andilay for it. It was nice to have a main squeeze, atleast one like her that'd be willing to take care of him when he was quite honestly at one of his worse moments.
Andilay was about finished...wasn't she? There wasn't much left to massage really. Soon he'd get his bath, and after that he'd be getting his sleep. Getting his sleep snuggled up to a woman that just gave him the best treat today.

Andilay smiled. Oh, lookie here. What did she have left? A large smile stretched the corners of her mouth. Why nothing less but G'hans most luscious rump. She gripped his hinnie in both hands and gave it a rather lecherous squeeze. She couldn't help herself. But once she got that out of her system, she massaged that part too. Nicely, with just the right pressure.
There. She was done. She gave his ass a nice little pat, before stripping down to her underthings, and flipping the man onto his back. She waggled her fingers at him. "Hiiiii." She couldn't help but smile. She scooped him up princess style, which was a bit awkward, since he was ruffly the size she was if not a bit bigger. But she managed. She didn't work out every morning for nothing.
"Just dump you in, and drag you out? Tempting... but I like being thorough. And thorough for me, means I'm gonna wait on you hand and foot. With a nice little sponge and some soap. I never said you'd be taking that bath alone..." She smiled a sly smile as she walked sturdily into G'han's bathroom. She gently placed him on the ledge in his tub, the water sloshing slightly around him.
"I believe you can get rid of your shorts yourself...
Admin's Note:[/hr]" Yes... it was kind of a question. Andilay would happily remove them if he found himself too lazy. But first... she busied herself with getting a nice luffa type sponge and some nice smelling soap. Spicy. A good smell for G'han... though, she liked sweeter things for herself.
It wasn't long before she was in the tub as well. Though, she didn't feel the need to get completely naked. Yet.

Well, let's recap. When Andilay finished massaging G'han, she gave the poor man a bath, relieving the poor man of any tension he had left. The two dried off, and then went to bed. Surprisingly there was no fooling around when they hit the sack. No foreplay, nothing. They simply cuddled up to each other and fell asleep.
But that was last night. Now it was morning, early morning. G'han was good at picking a certain time and being able to set himself to wake up at that time. Atleast in some ways G'han's body was able to adapt faster than others. It was early morning, light barely graced the sky. But this was the time G'han was now waking up at. This is when he woke up, got dressed, and did his work out before starting the day with official dragonrider business that would go on until the late evening.
G'han was starting to come into consciousness again. He cracked his eyes open and blinked a couple times. He looked at the form before him. Andilay was cuddled snug-ly against him. He yawned and raised a hand to run through her hair. It was nice to have some company, female company. He wouldn't have to sleep alone, and he wouldn't have to wake up alone. He had an extra body to keep him cozy.
Of course Andilay felt the same way, that's why she stayed. It was strange, the two still had yet to figure out their relationship. They were affectionate, they had done a thing or two. In other words, they slept around once and got in a little foreplay once or twice. They weren't exactly in a physical relationship because as bad as they seemed around each other, they really weren't as physical as they played it off.
G'han smirked. It was just like his and Akki's relationship. There were varying rumors about that one as well. They were weyrmates, they had always been together, it was about time they got together, etc. G'han always kept his ear to the ground and found the rumors about him so amusing. Some rumors got so looney as to say he was the father of Christae's child as well. Some would probably believe G'han was the sole reason the weyr would populate. Those were the really mean or crazy ones.
But lately there was a nastier-than-usual rumor going around that G'han was grasping for power. He shrugged his shoulders to that one. He could understand how it looked. He just recently became wingleader, and now he was taking on as much work as he could. G'han couldn't blame the reasoning, as frustrated as he seemed about the rumor lately. But G'han knew he was frustrated about a good many things that he usually wouldn't be.
They didn't know him, few really did. Andilay understood, Akki understood, a few other friends understood. But G'han was good about putting up that wall of funny that allowed everything else to bounce off while keeping some things in. Not as much as he used to keep in. He managed to conquer a few of his demons, but he still had other things to keep in that few knew about.
They were simpler things. Blaming yourself for something, realizing you're not as good as you should be, thinking you've lost something, etc. But if G'han kept up with the pace he had now, those walls may just begin to reveal a few of those things. Fortunantly that was not so yet.
"Hey dear, I've got to get up. I have another busy day ahead of me and I can't exactly start it if you're holding onto me", G'han whispered in her ear. He wanted to wake her so he could get up, but he really didn't want to startle her. Well, looked like G'han wouldn't figure out this relationship anytime soon. Was it one of convienence? Was it one of simply affection? G'han really didn't know. But they weren't really official. G'han planted a kiss on the top of her head to try and help wake her up.

Sometimes, waking up wasn't one of Andilay's favorite things.... and sometimes, her dreams were enough to make her wake up with a haunted look in her eyes. She clutched onto G'han a bit tighter for a few moments more, hiding her face in his chest as she woke up enough to shove the bad feelings into a box. Once she had herself under control, she loosened her grip with a mumbled, "Sorry."
She looked to the pre-dawn light, did a few mental calculations, and decided she might as well get up too. She yawned as she sat up in G'han's bed, not really caring that she was naked, but that was normal. She looked down at her 'girls' and absently made them jiggle. She then looked at her clothes on the floor. She wanted the energy to poke them with her foot... but she was still rebooting in that area. So what did she do...
Admin's Note:[/hr] She sat there waiting for her energy. It would only take a few minutes before she pushed herself to get dressed.

G'han watched as Andilay left, giving an involuntary shiver by the loss of body heat. He sat up himself and gave a stretch with a mighty yawn. He gave another sideways glance to Andilay. It was a bit disheartening to leave all this. But he simply shrugged this off. He stood up, and stretched yet again. Atleast this morning he felt incredible. Plenty of stress was relieved last night.
He didn't care that he was naked. He often fell asleep that way. It was only lately that he had slept with atleast his undergarments on simply because that was too much trouble to take off, where as he needed the rest of his clothes off. They were always heavy and dirty.
He walked over to where his clothes were, got some out, and got dressed. He walked back over to Andilay, still stretching. "Sorry to leave so soon, but I like getting my workout and training in before starting my day starts", he apologized to her, and even gave her an apologetic grin. He started to walk off, but then turned to look over his shoulder. "You're free to hang around as long as you like. You're always welcome around my weyr. Knock yourself out", G'han said to her with a grin before leaving his own weyr.
