Nike laughed and smiled.
"Yes, atleast I'm not like Malenie."
The Candidate got a fake-offened look on her face, and NIke laughed.
Then Malenie joined in too.

K'dan smiled at the two. ~The way these two act you would never know they use to be at each others throats and don't bother responding seeing as how Nike would hear you~, he said to his dragon. Hydrath simply looked up at his bonded to show his agreement. He looked over to Christae, "Do you want me to show them around or has someone already agreed to it".

Radim watched Ruanth with slightly shocked eyes after she spoke. The dragons and people at Dark Moon certainly seemed to be outgoing and friendly. Maybe that was just him though. Posing as a worker in the Lower Caverns at Fort Weyr had never really allowed him to have the full experience of living there.
"That's an awfully long list to remember all at once when I haven't met most of them yet." He replied sarcastically, pausing at the news that Nike was also a HAD. And a white rider? It seemed that some people had all the luck.
"I'm sure I'll like it here. I hope that I shall get the chance to meet all the people you just listed."

"No it isn't. The list was longer when I can here. But other than that.
You'll get to know everyone." Malenie said with a grin. "How about the three of us show you two around?"
Nike nodded and grinned. "Yeah let's. If Christae is okay with it."
The healer said.
Ruanth looked up at the boy closely.
I like you. She said simply then turned back to Nike and started talking with her.
Zim and Crystal peered at the boy a little while longer, then moved off to the new one.

Christae took a step back, holding her tiny child in her arms as she watched the Weyrlings and Candidates interact. The young Weyrwoman had an amused smile on her face. She felt so much older than them even though Nike was the same age and the rest of them were only a year or two younger than she. She sighed.
Weyrwoman was a hard role to play and having a newborn child didn't make it any easier. She had decided not to foster. Several of the women had expressed that they would be happy to take care of the Weyrleader's son. Christae had flatly denied them, as if her child were not hers as well, but just Sh'iron's. To hear the women talk about it, they didn't count her as a parent. Her son cooed in her arms and she reached down to tickle his chin. She couldn't stay mad for long with such a happy baby.
Christae smiled. "If you guys want to show them around you can all go. I won't say one can show them and not the other. " She let out a lilting laugh. "I hope you boys enjoy your stay here." She smiled at the new candidate. "Welcome to Dark Moon Weyr. I am Weyrwoman Christae of Sr. Queen Kaith. You guys show the new Candidates around." The baby began to fuss. "It's time for this little one's feeding. I will talk to you later today." Christae smiled at them and then walked out of the Barracks.

K'dan smiled as he watched the baby only half way hearing what Christae was saying. "Ok", he said to her when she said all could show the candidates around.

"Bye Chrisate!" Nike and Malenie said together.
Once the Weyrwoman was gone, the two looked back, waiting for the Candidates to put their things down,
and follow them around the Weyr.

K'dan if you have a sister does that mean you are bonded to them. ~No Hydrath~, K'dan said laughing. Well then why did Nike and Melanie speak together at the same time. ~I am sure Nike will explain it to you seeing as how you don't hide anything from her~, he said to his curious dragon, still laughing a bit at his comment.

Radim only looked at the white dragon a while longer before the Weyrwoman spoke. "Thank you, Weyrwoman. I already feel more welcome here than I expected." He replied in as Christae walked away.
Darting back into the male side of the Candidate Barracks, he picked an empty-looking cot and left his pack. Returning a few minutes later, he waited to hear where they would be going first.

"Done?" Malenie asked as she turned to the Candidate.
Nike smiled. "Well we'll take you through the Lower Caverens, then to the Hacthing Grounds. The Weyrling Barracks, and then the Feeding Pens. Oh and the Lake. I would take you to Lake Caspian but it is too far away. And Ruanth or Hydrath here can't fly." she said with a little disapointment.
"Oh and to answer your question Hydrath sisters mean that you have the same mother or father. Malenie and I have the same foster mother. And sometimes people do take at the same time." Nike said with a smile.
Malenie, getting the questions started to laugh. Which made Ruanth snort in dragonic laughter.

Wow that was good mine. You knew Nike would answer my question. Are you her sister too then? ~No I am not her sister. For one thing you have to be a girl to be a sister and another thing Nike and I do not have the same parents~, K'dan said to his dragon. ~You ask too many questions~, he continued. "Anyway", he said with some exasperation and continued, "Let's go to the lower caverns now if you two are ready".

"Sounds fine to me." Radim replied, getting a little confused by the conversation that the two Weyrlings and female candidate were having.
"Are you all Junior Weyrlings? Was the Hatching really not that long ago here?"

Nike shook her head. "No. I Impressed Ruanth around a Turn ago. She's just really small." She said putting her hand on her six foot long dragon.
"Yeah I really wouldn't even call Nike a Weyrling. This is her second time going through the lessons."
as soon as Malenie said it, she gasped and covered her mouth. "Oh I'm sorry Nike."
Nike's smile faded from her face, and she walked faster, and ahead of the others.
Malenie got a sad look on her face, then she turned to the Candidates.
"You see, Nike Impressed a green about three Turns ago. The green was the sister of our Sunior Queen.
Tirith, Nike's green went /between/ not long after her first mating flight.
Nike re-Impressed Ruanth awhile ago. She doesn't like to talk about it. So, be careful of what you say."
She said, thinking of what it would be like to loose a dragon.

K'dan smiled at Melanie. He sped up to walk along side Nike. "Are you going to be ok?", he asked her.

Naree put his stuff beside a cot and then followed the other four as they moved out of the Candidate barracks. He decided to hang back and listen until he found something to say.
Upon hearing about Nike's dragon he wondered how deep the pain would be but was glad she had gotten past it. He looked around, seeing people walking, after a few minutes of reflecting about that putting it from his mind and sighed.

Nike turned around to K'dan.
"I know it has been over a Turn, but it's still hard to cope. Other people will think that
I'm being weak, but other riders who lost their dragons would understand.
But I'll be fine." She said, then waited for Malenie and the others to catch up.

K'dan frowned then gave a smile. He put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Nike I don't think your in the least bit weak. When I think of someone who is strong I think of you". He removed his hand and turned a bit red. But that soon passed and he looked at her. Well said mine. Hydrath looked over at the two of them.

Radim didn't say anything as the group walked away, Nike and K'dan in the lead. Of course, he couldn't imagine what it was like to lose a dragon, and he never wanted to know either. At least The Master Healer seemed to be coping, and she did have the white.
When the two Weyrlings paused and waited for them, he snook up alongside Naree as he quickened his pace.
"So where are you from? I'm Radim, by the way, if you didn't catch my name."

Naree smiled at Radim, "I am recently from High Reaches Weyr, you?" He would glance occasionally to the different people walking by in an effort of not stumble into anyone and to see the sights. A slight smile crossed his face as he again thought that this might be the place where he would finally get his bonded in life.
