Lounging ... a boring day.

[nike]

Nike sighed as she streached out on one of the many couches in the Weyrling Lounge. She rested her head on a pillow and proped the book she had taken from the newly assigned Master Healer Malreal. So far, it was quite good. Well for a Healer. It taught her new technicnes of healing, and other such things. And so far, the other Master wasn't very fond of her looting.

Ruanth was curled up by the fire that was going to keep the stone room warm. The little white was fast asleep, like always. And since she was so small, she never let her rider out of her sight.

Zim was resting on Nike's stomach. The little queen was really egg heavy, and was going to clutch soon. She was sleeping, but Nike knew she missed her newly found mate, K'dan's bronze, Sharan.
Crystal, the darling blue, was curled up with Ruanth. He never left her side. It was funny.

Nike sighed and smiled as she turned to the next page. It was good to know so much for being only eighteen Turns old. That would show all those Weyr folk who didn't believe her treatments worked. The day was boring so far. But anything could happen in a Weyr.

[Miki]

Suni's chirps preceeded his entrance.
Aureth was not far behind, watching the flitt.
He yawned and with closed eyes, flopped down by a couch at the far-end of the lounge and went to sleep.
Suni flew in circles and then landed on the Blue's shoulder area.
He curled up and rested silently.
D'ran came in a little after, looking down at his flute.
He sat at a chair, facing a wall.
He looked at the instrument and then finally raised it to his mouth.
The Harper began to play and now one really knew why he was a Harper.
It was a tune he had made imself, pretty original.
In his head the Weyrling came up with a little story, the people running aloung in the open fields, he was playing a happy tune.

[Tenma]

Miya sat in a chair in the corner of the room.
SHe was watching the others carefully, her ears listening to D'ran's music as he played.
Reinath curled up on the ground by Miya's feet.
She opened her mouth to yawn.
Mine, today is sooo boring. The gold complained.
~That is why we are here, maybe something will happen.~ Miya said, bored herself.

[Dragon]

K'dan was heading back to his barracks. Sharan had came and rested on his shoulder when he had left and now the bronze launched himself from K'dan's shoulder and headed towards Nike's gold flitt. K'dan went chasing after the bronze wondering where he was going to. He stumbled into the lounge trying to catch the flitt but ended up missing. He looked up to notice Nike, D'ran, and Miya. He let his flitt go and began to walk out when Hydrath came and stood infront of him. Why don't you go in and join the others and sociolize? ~Um because Miya is in there~, he said. You don't sound to sure about that answer. ~Just leave me alone Hydrath, now isn't a good time. I am still trying to sort things out~, he said to his dragon. So your not talking to them again? They aren't your friends anymore? ~It's not that Hydrath it's just it's...it's......it's complicated. I still want to be there friends but right now........right now just isn't a good time~, he said to his dragon. His dragon stepped aside allowing him to pass if he wanted. K'dan took a step forward and began to walk out. He knew Sharan wasn't going to follow him. The bronze was now next to the gold flitt of Nike's. He sighed as he began to walk out.

[Tenma]

"Hello K'dan." Miya said, when she saw the boy try to leave.
Tonu popped in from between and nestled himself on Miya's shoulder.
Kalie, on the other hand, when over to K'dan, grabbed his tunic in her teeth, and started to pull him into the room.
Miya watched the green and wondered what she was doing exactly.
She is bored, Reinath answered, ...and Tonu is too tired to play.
The queen finished, eyeing the sleeping brown.

[Dragon]

"Shoot", K'dan mumbled under his breath so no one could hear. He was being dragged back into the room. He sighed knowing it was useless now to leave and decided to sit. "Hello Miya", K'dan said simply. Hydrath came and laid next to his mine, happy that K'dan had finally spoken aloud. K'dan sat back and began thinking about the training with G'han. G'han had complimented that he was getting better and was now training him harder than before. Now though they wouldn't have much time to train. Oh well that would just mean that he had to train harder when he did get the chance, he thought to himself. He put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes as he listened to D'ran play.

[Tenma]

Miya smiled with her normal evil like smile.
"G'han's training is hard, isn't it." She began as the blue rider sat down.
Miya had recently started training with them.
She was the worst out of the four and doing pretty bad in comparison.
But since she had never trained or fought before, she was doing pretty well.
Recently she had been pretty tired and sore so she didn't argue as much or get into as many fights, but she still stirred up some trouble.

[Dragon]

"Yeah it is. Atleast now I don't come out of it with so many bruises", he said to her. I am having a decent conversation with Miya, this is weird, he thought to himself. He still had his hands behind his head and his eyes closed, enjoying the music.

[Miki]

((D'ran has stopped training with them, tenma))

D'ran heard faint voices but he couldn't decipher them.
His music was too loud for him.
Just two voices- there were just two here.
Well, he wasn't alone but close enough.
Aureth crooned, enjoying the music.
[glow=blue,2,300]Mine, you do plan to play at that festival-thing, right?[/glow]Aureth, unlike D'ran, knew all who were here and Christae had said the Gathering was to be kept a secret so he kept his thoughts hidden from the HAD who sat here.
D'ran looked down at Aureth.
~I am supposed to- it's my job.~
Aureth looked up at d'ran with a sympathetic face.
[glow=blue,2,300]Mine, are you okay?[/glow]D'ran did not answer.

[Tenma]

((Oh, sorry.))

[nike]

Nike looked up when D'ran entered. She smiled to herself and looked back down at her book.
Zim lifted up her head and looked around. She cherped and raised her wings up.
The Healer looked over her book and raised a questioning eyebrow at her gold.
At the sight of the bronze firelizard flying in curing up with Zim on the back of the couch. Necks twined. She smiled
then looked over to the door to see K'dan.

"Hello, K'dan." Nike said with a small smile. Ruanth shifted, then went into a deeper sleep. The Healer smiled as she listened to D'ran's flute playing. It was nice to hear music. Even though she couldn't play or sing for her life. It was funny to be sure.

[Miki]

Then there was a third voice.
Three- that was too many.
He stopped, the note ending in a high whistle.
[glow=blue,2,300]Mine, why have you stopped?[/glow]~It is too crowded.~
[glow=blue,2,300]No it is not![/glow]D'ran ignored the Blue and stood. Then he saw who was here.
His heart dropped- this was not the trio he felt like seeing.
~Why didn't you tell me?~
Aureth hunched his shoulders guiltily.
[glow=blue,2,300]I didn't know you wanted to know.[/glow]

[Dragon]

K'dan turned to hear Nike's voice. "Um...hey..........Nike", he said softly as he tried to get the words out. He turned back around and returned his hands behind his head and his eyes closed.

[nike]

Nike looked up at D'ran.
"Why did you stop? It sounded nice."
She asked, then looked over to Ruanth.
The white was still fast asleep.
Lazy beast.

Green eyes turned over to K'dan. He was still upset about what had happened.
But she couldn't have a mate until Ruanth matured, or got as mature as she would get.
Sighing Nike looked back into her book. Mabey she, D'ran and K'dan would never become friends again.
Mabey she would become friends again with Rhia, Akki, R'dan, and Christae. But, mabey not.

[Dragon]

Hydrath nudged K'dan. You two are still friends right. Go talk to her. K'dan sighed, he didn't want to lose Nike as a friend but how he felt about her, it stayed the same. I don't think it would kill you just to talk to her. Hydrath butted in on his thoughts. K'dan stared down his dragon, still not use to the blue being in his mind. ~I don't know if I will ever get use to that. Fine you win. It won't hurt to talk to her. At any rate I don't want to lose her friendship~, he spoke to his dragon. He got up and sat closer to Nike and cleared his throat. "Um how has it been going lately", he said, trying to find something to talk about. His dragon smiled and hadn't attempted to hide his thoughts from Nike the entire time, but he wouldn't tell K'dan that. Atleast hopefully Nike would know that K'dan still wanted her friendship.

[Miki]

D'ran looked down at the flute in his hand.
When he played he did feel... alone, despite Aureth's intruding thoughts.
Aureth pushed D'ran down in a chair next to Nike and K'dan.
"I guess I'll play," he said almost robotcly and raised the flute to his lips.
He blew softly and the note came out in a squeaky way.
He manuevered his hands and it slowly got lower.
He played a tune he recalled playing at his old home- he practiced it often as it was one of his favorites.

[meggums]

Ronoth nudged B’kin, ~Wake, up… ~
B’kin grumbled something into his pillow before slowly sitting up and running a hand through his messy hair.
~Why do you sleep so much?~ the bronze asked.
“Why do I sleep so much? You sleep a lot; in fact you were sleeping for a long while before I fell asleep…” B’kin trailed off as D’ran began to play music down in the Weyrling Lounge. “Let’s go Ronoth,” they hadn’t spent time with their fellow weyrlings outside of Weyrling Lessons in awhile and they had nothing else to do. As the pair made their way to the Weyrling Lounge B’kin tried to tame his curly hair.
“Hi Nike, Miya, D’ran, K’dan…” B’kin greeted all who were in the Weyrling Lounge. He grinned, oblivious to all that had happened between K’dan, Nike, and D’ran.

[Tenma]

Miya looked at B'kin with her dark brown eyes as he spoke her name. She did't say anything, simply listened to D'ran's music.
Reinath opened one of her many faceted eyes, but didn't move besides that.

[Dragon]

K'dan looked to notice D'ran now sitting with them and now B'kin had come in. "Hey B'kin", he said. He wanted to talk to Nike and try and get some of this stuff straight, but he guessed the weyrling lounge wasn't the best place to do that. He wanted Nike to know he still wanted to be friends with her. ~Hydrath do you mind giving Nike a message for me~, he said and told Hydrath what he needed to say. Nike. K'dan wants to talk to you later. With less people around if you get what I'm saying. Hydrath was finally happy again, K'dan was now talking and was going to straighten things out with Nike. He always enjoyed the prescence of Nike and Ruanth but lately with what had been going on there hadn't been any talking between the two. Now maybe things would get back to normal. The blue silently hoped.

[nike]

Nike looked up and smiled at K'dan.
"Fine, just that I borrowed this book from that new Master Healer. He's very mad about it."
she said with a small grin. She turned her eyes over to D'ran and smiled.
"Good, you are a Harper, and Harpers should play and sing, and do other Harper things. Which I know nothing about."
Ruanth shifted awake at the noise of another voice.
"Hello B'kin. I haven't seen you in awhile. How are you and Ronoth?"

Nike looked over to her waking white.
Hunger filled up Nike and she sighed. The voice of Hydrath entered her mind and then she got an idea.
"Ruanth is hungry, and plus I have to return this borrowed" Stolen Ruanth told everyone, "alright, stolen book back to Master Malreal. Anyone want to join me?"
Green eyes stared a little longer at K'dan.
Hydrath tell K'dan that we can speak on the way to the kitchens, or whenever.
Ruanth got up and walked over to Nike.
