Perin watched, his pale blue eyes wide as he took in the sight of his new home. A blue flitt emerged from between followed by his own Falarn. "That would be my Master's credentials." His voice held controlled excitement. "Thank you Whiterider."

The young man slid down from the dragon's back, grabbing his packs as he went. He turned and bowed to the dragon and her rider. "My sincerest thanks to you Nike of White Ruanth. May the Red Star never darken your steps." He turned and started walking across the Bowl, following the scent of food. He knew that people congregated where food was and he would be able to find someone there to help him.

She is back. She dropped someone off in the Weyr Bowl and is now coming here. I told her to get here now. Christae sighed with relief. "Tell her to fly straight." Her voice was colored with relief, but it was also stern.

Nike nodded, and then grinned. Ruanth leapt into the air, and Nike's grin fell.
"Great, now the Weyrleaders are going to scorch my hide," She said to Ruanth.
Kaith told me that we have to fly straight. The white said and turned to the direction that the other Weyrlings were in.
Alright. Nike replied, and relaxed slightly for the ride.

Christae waited on Kaith, tapping her fingers on her leg. When the white came into view she straightened up on her dragon, her back ramrod straight. "Nike, Ruanth." She called sternly when they came into hearing range.

"You were told to take your coordinates from Kaith. Then you were told to recheck your coordinates with your mentor. Rhia and Mneith said that you checked your coordinates and were correct. What happened? We are glad that you are safe, but you gave us quite a scare. You need to be more careful. Perhaps you might need extra tutoring. If you make another mistake, I will have Rhia take you aside. If not, you will continue with your lessons. Do not make the same mistake again. The next mistake may prove fatal to you or your dragon and you are too valuable to lose. You all are. Let this serve as a warning to all of you Weyrlings to ALWAYS be careful."

Nike told Ruanth to fly closer to Kaith. "I'm sorry, Christae. I gave Ruanth the image, but I thought up another one right before we jumped. Ruanth took that one, instead of the right one. We found ourself above a hold, so we decied to see which hold it was, making sure we didn't go to far away from the Weyr. Once done, we came back here," She said.

Ruanth rumbled in agreement. That is the truth. The white said.

Miya sighed. Finally that annoying white was back. Hopefully they could now continue their lesson.

((Ack. Short.))
