"Nira everything will be ok and do not worry Siarath. Nira is stronger than she makes herself out to be. You can handle it Nira. I know it gets a bit stressful and you get to your breaking point at times but I know you are a strong individual. You just need confidence in yourself. You were chosen to be a dragonrider. That means you have what it takes to make it", he said speaking to Nira mostly but replied to Siarath as well. "I know what we plotted was wrong and we shouldn't have done it. You are not to blame and the candidate will soon get over it and this will all seem like a thing of the past eventually", he said to her. He held her for as long as she needed and allowed her to cry on him. Sometimes people just needed to cry and let out their emotion and this time it was Nira who needed to. He would stay there for his friend as long as she needed him.

Aureth waddled over to Ruanth and sat on his bottom.
[glow=blue,2,300]That seemed funny at first but I'm not sure we should have done it. I am talking about Malenie-[/glow]The dragon was feeling guilty though he didn't even know it would happen.
D'ran didn't feel much guilt at all.
Malenie deserved what she got.
He may have had some pity inside of him but for the most part it was like an almost victory.
He took a bit of Nike's hair again and pulled it down as long as it would go.
It was short but still longer than his own.
He smiled when Nike commented on how he would look more like a rider.

Christae looked up at her weyrmate. "For once I wish I was not pregnant. I am needed here and I can't do what I am supposed to be doing. I will have to begin Miya's training early. If something should happen to me or Kaith she MUST be prepared to lead the weyr. Perhaps we could bring in another Queen from a different Weyr, as much as I would hate to do that. Tomorrow we must hold a meeting for all riders. We must start the Weyr Games to keep them on their toes."
"How do you plan to get them to tithe? We will have to force Nike to see reason. She and Ruanth cannot fly Thread if Ruanth is not matured enough. We will appeal to her Healer side. She knows that she will hurt Ruanth if she flies too soon. She knows how to be realistic. Ruanth can keep the flitts in order. The little ones can help us if they are organized. Our White Dragon can do that while Nike is being a healer. We will have many dragonriders hurt, but hopefully not killed. I shudder to think of that but still, we must be prepared. We must let the other Weyrs know about Ruanth and Kylath. Otherwise we may not have their support. We may need them to send a wing or two to bring us to full capacity during Fall. Unless Kaith clutches again soon we may have to borrow another Queen."
~~~
Rhia spoke up. "G'han can use a trim after K'dan." Tikka was finishing up with T'rin at the time. She brushed the hair off the Weyrling and called for the next person. "I will also need to get mine cut." The brownrider said. She looked around. "By the way...where IS G'han?"

D'ran sighed jokingly.
"I guess that means I have to go, then. Oh, wait, ladies first, Rhia," D'ran said grinning.
Suni swooped down to Ruanth.
Ruanth was the one who talked to him, he recognized her hide.
Aureth smiled at the, "little dragon."

K'dan looked at Rhia then said aloud, "People I have already got my haircut. I do not need one. Please get this straight and Rhia I have no clue where G'han is". He looked at Nike a bit exasperated, "Does it not look like I got my haircut or something?".

Rhia raised her eyebrow. "Sorry K'dan. I heard them talking about you getting your hair cut and didn't realize you already had it cut. D'ran, I can wait. You were here first."

Nike turned to D'ran.
"You are getting your hair cut before Rhia! I don't care what you say. You are." The Healer took the Harper's arm and draged
him to the chair where she pushed him down.
"Now cut his hair Tikka."
Ruanth looked up at Suni and started talking to him. After all, he did talk to the wild firelizards, and they did know a lot.
Zim cherped and landed on Ruanth's back. Telling the bronze that this was her dragon.
Crystal was sleeping in the sun on the rim.
Sh'iron sighed and looked down at the Weyrwoman.
"Miya will be a good Weyrwoman if something happens to you. Which nothing will. We don't need anoth Queen Rider. THey just cause too much trouble in the Weyr. We are fine the way we are. And if something does happen to you, and Miya can't lead,
another one of our female riders can help out."
"The Weyrs will know soon about Kylath and Ruanth. I am calling a meeting of all the Weyrleaders and Weyrwomen
from the Weyrs. All from the South, and North. I also think that Kylath is like a queen who hasn't devloped fully. Don't you?
Nike will cause trouble. I don't want her flying Ruanth until the dragon is fully mature. But I have a feeling that she will do so sooner. She knows that the first dragons were like 12 feet long, so our Dragon Healer will try to fly her dragon when she is that length. I just hope that she won't try anything stupid that will get her, or Ruanth killed. We can't afford to lose our only Master Healer of our Weyr."
Malenie looked up when she had heard the knock at her door. She was gating up new clothes to go take a bath.
She hoped it wasn't someone who wanted to come and make fun of her. She was still on the verge of tears.
"Come in." She said in a quite, voice that one could barely hear. The Candidate then turned back to her doings of unpacking.

"It's ok Rhia", K'dan said. He looked back to Nike. She apparently hadn't heard him talking to her but just shrugged it off. He laughed as Nike forced D'ran to get his haircut. He looked back and wondered where G'han and Nira had gone off to. "He better not be trying to get out of a haircut", he mumbled to himself.

Christae sighed as well. "We should meet with our riders before we meet with the other Weyrleaders. I don't think Kylath is a Queen. She does not act like one and Kaith did not guard her egg jealously like she did Reinath's. Nike WILL listen if we both order her to refrain from flying Ruanth. If we need to we can keep close watch on her. She has to see reason or we will lose them both. She will not be able to stand the strain of losing another dragon. No rider is that strong."
Christae moved away from him and sat down in a chair. Despite Sh'iron's confidence, she was worried. "Where will the Weyrleaders meet? Remember that I cannot go /between/ when you call the meeting. A few of them won't be happy that you are calling them."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rhia shrugged. "It's ok. Like I said, you were here before me D'ran." She shifted her weight from foot to foot while she waited.
Tikka busied herself cutting D'ran's hair. "Is that good Healer Nike? Remember that although Weyrsinger D'ran is a rider, he is still a Harper."

D'ran allowed himself to be puched into the chair.
He looked up at Tikka and sighed.
The Harper allowed her to cut his hair.
He was a bit thankful when she did not cut his hair /too/ short.
Tikka was right about him.
He smiled to Nike weakly.
"Happy," he asked.
Suni did not pay much attention to Zim.
He told Ruanth about a bunch of dolphins at the lake that he saw.
There were more than usual.

See mine, you are strong and you will make it. Siarath replied in a comforting voice.
Nira sniffed and brough her head up to look at G'han. "Thankyou G'han." Nira smiled smiled and took a deep breath. "I am sorry, about this. You can go back with the others know, I will stay here and talk with Siarath." Nira smiled again and walked back onto her head. She closed her eyes but remained sitting up, while she spoke to Siarath.
---------------------------------------------
~Her voice sounds...different.~ Miya told Reinath but did not wait for the dragon to reply. She opened the door and quickly began speaking. "I heard there was a commotion today with you in it and I wanted..." Miya;s words paused as her eyes caught the sight of Melanie's head. A smile creeped onto her face and a quite laugh started excaping her lips. "What happened to you?" she asked, her laughs gradually getting louder.
What is so funny? Reinath asked curiously as she wabbled into the candidate's barrack. Is that.... the mean candidate? The queen accidently said to all minds. Reinath just stood their, maw agape, while her rider continued laughing at the sight.

Nike stuied D'ran, then a smile slowly spread across her lips.
"Yes, much better." She said with a nod, and then a grin.
Malenie didn't look up as Miya started talking.
When the young queen rider stoped talking, then the Candidate looked up.
She dismissed her question with a glance at her shoulder, then looked the girl straight in they eye.
"You wanted to...what?" Malenie asked. She didn't like Miya that much. She was, well mean.
Atleast Malenie changed her ways.
"They Weyrleaders are coming here. I told them that this concered the fate of Pern and the Tenth Pass."
Sh'iron said with a sigh. He knew that the Red Star was looming closer and closer to the Eye Rock.
The Pass was now almost over them, and they could do nothing to stop it.

[glow=blue,2,300]Go back to where Malenie is, Reinath and her mine are down there. Though I hate to say it I have beliefs that this will cause a worse stir[/glow]Ebbeth told Akki quickly as she quickly hurried to where the candidate was. Poor Malenie, not only was her hair cut rather short but now she had to deal with Miya, a cruel person at times! She made it just in time to hear Miyas laughter ringing through out her head. Not now she thought with a groan, the worst thing right now for Malenie was laughter! She hurried into the room, even though there was no invitation to do so but that didn't matter right now, and quickly said, "Out Miya, Malenie needs to unpack and I rather doubt she wants a companion who will laugh at her." While saying this she lifted her arm and pointed to the door, for emphasis.

Malenie looked at Akki, then whispered something to her.
"Thank you." The Candidate said shuffling out of the room past the blue and gold rider.
In her arms were new, clean clothes. She needed a bath, and that was where she headed.

She nodded a brisk reply before waved to the door once more before she left, heading back to where the haircuts were taking place. She could only hope that Miya was following her, for once abiding the order. [glow=blue,2,300]You handled that...well enough[/glow]Ebbeth said, pleased with his mine. It kills you to say that handled something okay doesn't it? She aquired as Ebbeth replied smugly [glow=blue,2,300]Yes, and that's because it rarely happens[/glow]

Miya was able to stop the laughter after Melanie left. "I don't see what the problem is." She said walking by Akki, for she had a question. "Anyways, why is her hair all short like that? I don't think that the great Melanie would do that." she stifled another laugh as she mentioned Melanie being great. "I would think someone with an attitude would have better judjement then to make herself look like a fool." She added remembering how silly Melanie looked.
Reinath followed behind. The candidate's head does look strange. And she did not say something back at my rider like when the two first met. Reinath said thoughtfully.

When Kia spotted Miya laughing she barely restrained herself.
She was about to tackle her but then they left the room.
She took a deep breath and looked thoughtfully at her dragon.
Kylath cocked her head but did not comment for a while.
[shadow=red,left,300]Are you going to get your haircut or not?[/shadow]Kia whipped her head back.
"Will I go after Rhia then," she mumbled.
Kylath looked quizically to her bonded but shrugged it off.
~-~
D'ran got up and smiled.
"So this is suitable. I am guessing K'dan does not need his hair cut, then. He kind of got annoyed about it, didn't you," the Harper elbowed K'dan lightly.
Aureth smiled to Ruanth.
[glow=blue,2,300]What are they saying?[/glow]

Nike looked D'ran over, then smiled.
"Yes it is." She said looking up to the sky.
"Oh shards, I'm late! That poor dragon, is already in so much pain! And then that Smith. Oh why did I have to become a Master Healer for dragons, firelizards and humans?" The Healer cursed all in one breath.
Ruanth turned to Aureth.
They talk about more shipfish in the lake. That's about it. The white said, then looked up at her rider.
Oh no! Nikemine is going to get out that smelly stuff! And she will also cause others pain. But she does fix them up. The white remembered the last time her rider had done her rounds around the Weyr. She didn't like it.
Don't let me go alone! Come with me!
Zim cherped at Suni for not paying attention to her. Crystal was flying madly through the air. When Nike glanced at her blue firelizard, she was sure he had lost his mind.

"If you want to know what happened then I suppose I'll tell you. But I warn you now Miya, make fun of her once more and the same thing could happen to you. We got sick of her attitude so we got Tikka to cut her hair short and uneven as revenge."Akki said briskly, keeping out the details of the planning. But something was tugging at her, begging to be asked before she said, "Why did you feel the need to laugh anyways? If that had happened to you would you like me coming in and laughing?".

Aureth nodded when Ruanth told him what Suni was saying.
He laughed when the White was talking about what Nike was going to do.
[glow=blue,2,300]I'll go and my Mine can too, won't you.[/glow]D'ran sighed and looked down at his dragon.
"Yes, I'll go," he said with a shrug.
