A meeting of the minds

[Dragon]

G'han went to the lower caverns to get something to eat. After grabbing a plate and some klah he went to sit down. As he sat he looked across the table to see a dark form. I wonder if this is the infamous Dicer? He wondered to himself. He merely glanced at the boy and began eating. After washing a few bites down with some klah he said to him, "I guess you are this Dicer, the new candidate everyone is talking about?".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dicer looked up and noticed G'han as he talked to him. "Yes that is me. And I know you are G'han. You are suppose to be some kind of hand to hand fighting expert", he replied back with a plain voice. He didn't bother even looking at G'han.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well it seems you have the advantage of me, knowing who I am already. Yes I know a good bit about fighting you could say", he replied back. "It seems you know a thing or two about fighting yourself. I hear you got in a fight with a weyrling bluerider named K'dan", he continued.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I should have known it must be the talk of this small weyr now. I beat some weakling bluerider and it's big news to everyone", he said a bit agitated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yes word travels fast and stuff like that doesn't happen to often. As for K'dan being weak, he is just not the fighting type. He will when he has to but its the fact that he doesn't like to fight that holds him back from being the fighter he can be", he said. "Not to say you couldn't beat him if he didn't hold back though", he said, keeping a smirk from appearing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't care. He is still weak in my mind. I could beat him either way. I hear it was you that trained him how to fight though. Perhaps you aren't as good as others think you are", Dicer replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Perhaps so, but perhaps not. You know that could be considered a challenge", G'han said back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yes it could be considered that. I must admit I wouldn't mind seeing what you're capable of. Although knowing this weyr I would get more chores for it", he replied back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Not if it is a sparring match. Consider it a lesson, I do that with D'ran, Miya and K'dan", he replied back. He must admit he wouldn't mind putting this candidate back in his place, he seemed to have gotten a big head about beating K'dan. A sparring match wouldn't hurt anything and once he won it would let him know that not everyone in the weyr was a push over and that some pushed back. "Although not today. Perhaps another day", he said. He really didn't feel like it today and he had duties to attend to and twins to take care of. Once he finished with his plate and klah he said to him, "I will be going now. I have things to attend to but good to meet you", he said and walked out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sounds good to me", Dicer said plainly. He watched as the bronzerider walked out but said nothing more to him. So that was G'han. He doesn't seem as tough as everyone makes him out to be. He took a sip of klah and placed it down on the table before him. The only reason he was nice to the bronzerider was because that's what he wanted. He enjoyed testing the waters so to speak and to Dicer, G'han was someone he wanted to test. He wanted to know just what he was capable of.

((Remember, he now gives lessons to Miya too.))

[Dragon]

(oops sorry Tenma I must have forgotten, i will modify that. i will have them fight eventually in this topic since i am too lazy and don't won't to create a whole nother topic just for the fight.)

[Torva Anian]

A rider walked around the weyrbowl for a few moments before spotting a familiar face. She was rewarded with a splash of faded out reminders of where she had met him from Avith. She nosy dragon yet again helped her despite Lira thinking it wouldn't help to be so nosy. She walked near to where he was giving him a chance to say hello before she passed him and ended up in the lower caverns.

[Dragon]

"Well look who i run into. The greenrider that transferred to this weyr not that long ago.", G'han said in a bit of a joking tone, "How's it going?".

[Torva Anian]

Lira smiled and nodded to G'han, "I can't complain much. Well other than my dragon bothering me to learn what the fuss is about. Apparently she heard something about some people coming into the weyr...candidates...and she wants to know the stories. Any help?"

[Dragon]

"Well if you go into the lower caverns there", he paused and pointed there then continued, "You will find Dicer. He is a bit of a mystery really. He doesn't say much about himself but he does seem to have this general disgust for all people for some odd reason or so I have heard. At any rate he basically just challenged me to a fight, maybe I can learn more about him then. Unfortunantly I have duties to attend to right now so I have to hold that off", he said to her. "Well I will be off now. Have a good day", he said to her and left.

[Torva Anian]

Lira waved to him wondering if she was only going to have snatches of conversations with the weyr's populace the whole time she was here. She decided to go towards the lower caverns anyway as she still hadn't been assigned work yet. Not that she was complaining. It was nice to have a few days off. No doubt someone right now was writing up a paper that would start filling up her days with work. She smiled at the thought and went inside and looked around for a moment wondering which one was this Dicer.

[Dragon]

Dicer didn't even glance up as Lira made her way in. A dark figure he was, his dark brown hair that covered half his face. Then there was that black cloak of his that covered him for the most part. The only coloration being the one deep green eye that focused on his cup of klah at the moment. He was deep in thought about how he would go about this sparring match with G'han. He thought it interesting to fight him. Also he wanted to know just how cunning and brilliant G'han was, he could possibly be a threat to him in that manner. He took the cup of klah and took a sip then placed it back on the table, allowing himself to savor the taste of the hot liquid.

[Torva Anian]

Lira glanced around and shrugged then sat over at a table (which of course is very close to dicer's chair) by some people. She had picked up a little bit to eat on her way over and started eating it. She felt her dragon looking nosily through her eyes wondering which one was Dicer then focus on the dark figure.

[Dragon]

Dicer set the cup down as he took another sip then looked at the girl staring at him. "Can I help you?", he asked, his tone dry and rude.

[Torva Anian]

Lira's eyes narrowed slightly as the boy automatically rubbed her the wrong way, rude indeed. "I don't know. I came her for civil conversation. Know anyone who can provide that?" Her tone fell just short of scathing and rude herself. She didn't know what got into her, she usually considered herself a nice and agreeable person. Avith, outside at the moment sunning as usual, murmered a sleepy agreement to that assessment.

[Dragon]

"Civil conversation? Not my cup of klah. You could try that bronzerider that just left, he seems chatty enough", Dicer said to her. He knew there was hardly anyone in the lower caverns, mostly drudges in and out at the moment. That was the reason he left the lake and came here but it seemed everyone in the weyr was determined to talk to him today. For some reason or another he didn't mind talking to that bluerider. She didn't have that usual tone and she didn't seem interested at all in making him change to the way she wanted him. He took another sip then looked at the green rider, he didn't mind her rude tone at all. He expected it really.

[Torva Anian]

"He's busy. But he did say something about you wanting a fight...Do you just meet random people and ask for duels?" She could feel her dragon perk up and start listening to the conversation more wanting to know more of this person who was rude to her mine. She flicked a piece of hair away from her eyes as she looked at him waiting for an answer.

[Dragon]

"No random people walk up to me and as far as asking for a fight. It was to his suggestion and I don't mind learning a persons abilities and limits. It is very...useful", he said to her. Sure he knew G'han would probably beat him but knowing how he fights and how far he could be pushed was in his favor. If there was one thing Dicer agreed to is that knowledge is power

[Torva Anian]

She huffed and rolled her eyes muttering something about "men and their stupid ideas". She idly wondered if G'han's weyrmate knew of this or would like hearing that G'han was planning on such a thing. Not that she was going to seek her out and try to tattle, that wasn't in her nature, she was just curious. She rolled her eyes mentally as it seemed she was taking on the characteristics of her dragon or perhaps it was the dragon. She could almost hear her dragon huff and deny it.

[Dragon]

"Well as sentilating as this conversation is. I will be going", he said to her. He put the empty cup down and left. He would get ready for the fight. Holding my own against him should be a piece of cake. If that wherry head K'dan could do so then so can I.

[Tenma]

From the corner, Miya's dark eyes glared angrily at Lira and Decir. Why was everyone so interested in this new boy. He was just a candidate, she was a goldrider. There were many candidates but only two goldriders, and she was the newest. What was so interesting about this boy? She had to find out, but she would wait. Wait untill he was alone, she had enough trouble from theWeyrwoman, she didn't need any annoying greenriders tattling.

[Dragon]

Dicer walked out now by himself. He wished people would leave him be today, Akki was the only one he didn't mind talking to so far. He walked across the weyrbowl headed to the candidates barracks. His hands were beneath his cloak now and one rested on the hilt of his blade. His hair covered half his face making him look like a shadow moving across the weyrbowl.

[Tenma]

Miya smirked as Decir walked away. About time. She followed him quietly, her dark eyes watching his every move. Finally, she felt ready and walked in front of him, causing him to have to stop.

"So your the famous Decir that has got the whole weyr interested." She paused to examine him. "What makes you so special?" She asked, wishing to hear what he thought.
