((Gosh, I make the worst names for topics.))
Nike walked out of the kitchen, with Ruanth on her side.
Zim and Crystal were perched on her shoulders. The little queen's tail rapped tightly around Nike's neck. A bowl of meat was in Nike's hand.
It was a wonderful late summer day. It hot, but the hard wind kept you cool. The sky was a great and beautiful blue, with large, white clouds swept past thought the sky. A great day to go out and have fun.
Nike took a seat near the lake, and close to the Weyrling Barracks.
There Ruanth sat down beside Hers, and waited to be fed. Nike smiled and started feeding her white, waiting for D'ran and his Aureth.

D'ran, Aureth, and Suni came not too long after Nike, Ruanth, and her two flitts.
D'ran held a bucket of meat in his hands for a hungry dragon.
Aureth ran up to Ruanth and smiled, sitting down waiting for meat.
D'ran grabbed a bit of meat, reminded of when he Impressed Suni who chirped loudly.
He swooped down, stealing pieces of meat.
[glow=blue,2,300]That little dragon keeps stealing my meat.[/glow]Aureth had forgotten the name of a flitt.

Ruanth laughed. Those little ones listen to me. I'm gonna try and tame him. She said, then command the little bronze to quit eating Aureth's food. Zim and Crystal waited for their own.
"Now, come on Ruanth! Just because you can control my fireliards, doesn't mean you can do it for every firelizard." Nike said feeding her white more.
But the wild firelizards listen to me! Watch! Ruanth said, then had an odd look on her face.
Soon a fiar of firelizards popped from /between./ There were many different colors, gold, bronze, brown, blue, and green.
All cherping then landed near Ruanth.
Nike's eyes were wide.

Aureth swallowed the meat and rubbed his mouth.
[glow=blue,2,300]I bet I could control them if I really tried![/glow]Suni reluctantly stopped eating them and flew near D'ran.

Ha! Yeah right! Can you talk to the little ones? Can they talk to you? Ruanth said in all three of their heads. She then commaned the firelizards away. But a few stayed near her.
NIke's eyes were wide. "You can really do that?" She asked her dragon.
Of course I can! They are my friends! The white said.

[glow=blue,2,300]Fine, I can't.[/glow]Aureth sighed, defeated.
D'ran patted his dragon and continued to feed him.
"I wonder if anyone else is coming.
I think Hydrath and K'dan are coming," he said.
The dragon looked worriedly at Nike as did D'ran.
"Are you ok," he asked, coming from both of them.
ooc|| I have to get a new back pack (mine broke) but I'll be back in about half of an hour.

B’kin and Ronoth were crossing the Weyrbowl to go to the Lower Caverns where B’kin figured everyone else was.
~Look mine, Ruanth, Aureth and their mines.~ The bronze saw that they were being fed. ~I’m hungry mine, forget about that candidate.~
~I’ll try, Ronoth~ he wasn’t sure Malenie was going to allow herself to be forgotten. ~Hold, on let me go get you some food.~ B'kin went to the kitchens to find a bowl of meat for him.
Ronoth nodded and turned to Aureth and Ruanth ~Hello.~

Nike smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine." She said with a small smile. She was still a bit confused about Ruanth being able to talk to the firelizards. Ruanth looked up when Ronoth came walking up.
Hello. Are you and your Mine going to play with us? she asked with her head cocked to one side.
The Healer smiled when the bronze walked up.
Hello. She said to them. Ah, being a HAD was such a gift!

Ronoth nodded, ~After my mine feeds me,~ he had heard Ruanth talk about talking to the firelizards, ~Do the little ones tell you anything interesting?~ Ronoth hadn’t been near very many firelizards since B’kin didn’t have one. The bronze looked up at Nike she'd spoken to him, ~Hello Ruanth's mine.~
B’kin returned with a bowl, “Hi Nike and D’ran,” he greeted.

Yes, they show me thigns that are happening elsewhere. In the North, a group of dragonless are having fun,
I think it is called a Gather. And down here in the South people and dragons are hunting a lot. Ruanth said, sending the pictures that the firelizards showed her.
Nike smiled at the dragon, then grinned up at B'kin when he came.
"Hey, B'kin. Nice of you to join us." Nike said feeding Crystal. Zim was perched on her shoulder, her little golden head rubbing against Nike's cheek. Crystak was perched on the Healer's forearm. "Is brother gone?" She asked him, remembering
the Hatching Feast and his drunk brother with Sh'gel, F'tan, T'ran, and that group.

~Wow,~ Ronoth said intrigued by the pictures that the firelizards had given Ruanth. ~I wonder why they don’t talk to me.~ It would be interesting to receive pictures from the firelizards.
B’kin fed Ronoth a handful of meat before turning to Nike, “B’gin? Yeah he’s gone thank goodness. He left the day after the feast with a horrible headache.” B’kin said with a grin. “I’m sorry if he gave you any trouble…”

I don't know why. NikeMine says that I can understand them more because I am more like them.
Ruanth said with a dragonic shrug.
Nike smiled. "Oh it's fine. I asked Andorra, the Headwoman's second in charge, gave all those drunks 'the killer cure.'
It's a horrible tasting drink that clears up even the worst of the hangovers." She said with a grin.
The Healer then cocked her head at B'kin.
"So, do you like Weyr life?" She asked, feeding Ruanth more.
She remembered her first day in the Weyr, and then her first Turn. She had lived here for what, three turns?
Yes, a lovely life. And everyone knew her.

B’kin grinned, “Serves him right” The weyrling scratched Ronoth’s eyeridges, “I grew up in a weyr,” he said with a smile. “It was up north and very cold, full of older riders. There weren’t very many kids my age so I only had B’gin to hang out with. This weyr is very different, but for the better. There are more people my age, B’gin’s not here… usually, and it’s never boring.”
Ronoth shrugged too, ~Maybe they’re scared of me…~ Ruanth was the smallest dragon maybe they weren’t scared of her since she was a bit closer to their size than other dragons.

Nike smiled. "Which Weyr?" She asked. Hmm, so he was from a Weyr eh? Well he would have to get used to Dark Moon.
The smallest, most layed-back, lazy, happy Weyr on Pern. It was full of a lot of younger riders too.
Ruanth nodded. Yeah, and mabey they can't understand you.
And you can't understand them. BUt if you want to talk to them, you can tell me what to say to them. She said.

((*shakes fist* You had to ask which Weyr : P It was going to be a make up Weyr but I can’t think of a good name… so it’s going to be uh… Fort ^^ It’s cold up in Fort right? lol))
B’kin fed Ronoth a bit more, making sure the bronze wouldn’t choke, the dragon still tended to try and swallow more than he could chew. “It was Fort Weyr, my father was a brownrider there.”
~Maybe…~ Ronoth watched Zim, ~I don’t really want to talk to them, but it’d be nice to see the things they see. You know since we can’t fly yet, we can’t go anywhere out of this Weyr.~

((-grins- You could have done High Reaches. It is a lot colder up there than Fort. Or Telgar.))
Nike smiled. "Fort's nice. When I was a messanger, I visited it there a lot." She said grinning. "But Fort Hold is still the best northern Hold with it's own Weyr. Southern Boll is the best no matter what." The Healer sighed. "I can't wait till I can go back home." She muttered.
Zim closely watched Ronoth. Yeah, it is nice. But a little confusing. Ruanth said.

Aureth listened to the dragons conversations, eating the meat until he was full.
D'ran finished the bucket soon enough and looked over the Bowl.
"So, you going to play or not," D'ran asked his dragon.
Aureth grinned and ran around the other two, taunting them to play some tag.
[glow=blue,2,300]Let's play![/glow]

Ruanth stood up and droped her jaw in a grin.
You can catch me in water Aureth, but let's see if you can catch me on land! You too Ronoth!
The white said dashing away.
Nike smiled and stood up, ruffling her hair.
"Only my dragon!" She said with a sigh.

Aureth grinned, having learned how to play tag by D;ran.
[glow=blue,2,300]You are it Ronoth![/glow]Aureth dashed away after Ruanth, laughing at the Bronze.
D'ran smiled at his dragon that was now turning a diffrent way from Ruanth.
They were at a diagonal.

Ronoth looked back at B’kin before running after Ruanth.
B’kin raised an eyebrow watching Ronoth chase Ruanth, he looked so ungainly on the ground. At least in the water it was something like flying.
~It?~
~It means you chase after the others.~ B’kin informed his bronze.
Ronoth nodded and set off after Aureth now determined to make the blue “it.”
