"Well basically those who came to Ista when your queen was in flight. Nira ofcourse, Nike, Miya, and Lira and when I arrived I briefly met your Weyrwoman. Now I met you so that's everyone I have met so far. I hope to get to know everyone here and get to be atleast half as close to you all as you and Nira say everyone around here is", he said to her.

"In other words you haven't met very many people." Akki said once he was done. "Mostly everyone here is very kind and such, so knowing them and being close shouldn't be too hard. Espeacially for you, you should fit right in." She said. Good thin he didn't meet Dicer, that could have changed his views on some things in the weyr. "So, tell me about Elith." Akki said, curious to know about the brown dragon.

"Yeah", he said simply. "Elith? He is a fairly large brown, darker brown in color. He is a passionate and proud dragon", he said to her, describing his dragon. "So could you tell me about some of the people around here? If not all of them a few? If you don't mind that is", he asked her. He was interested in learning of the people around here and what some of them were like.

"I'll try." She said as she thought for a moment. "There's Miya, who you have met, who is rather stubborn by despite popular belief I do think she will become a great Werywoman and her gold will become a great Queen. Then there's Nike, who is very kind and always busy and proud of her white Ruanth. Jakel is a trouble maker, but a lovable one, Christae is the best weyrwoman I have and will ever know in my lifetime. K'dan, like Nike, is kind but sometimes jumps to conclusions but everyone does, and G'han is a proud person that is a great friend to me. You know Nira so there is no need for me to say anything about her.". She paused for a moment and said, "That's all I can think of that I really know about at this moment.".

"They all sound like nice enough people. I can't wait to meet them all and get to know them better", he said to her. "I believe Nira told me a little about G'han. That's the one that lost his family right?", he asked her. It was such a shame, to not know whether the ones you love are still alive or not. He didn't know how he would be able to take such a tradgedy.

Akki was raising her klah to her lips as she heard this and she set it back down. She hated to admit it, but she didn't know much about G'han's past or his family. And she didn't know this. "He did?" She asked, her face scrunched up a bit as she processed that information. As much as she disliked her father, she couldn't imagine not having him anymore and she certainly could not picture life without K'iah, whether or not she kept in contact with him.

"He is a close friend and you didn't know this? Nira atleast knew that much", he said to her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
G'han walked in right about that time. As usual he was up early exercising like he did everyday. He walked in with Azure perched happily on his shoulder. He grabbed himself some klah and some soup and got Azure some meat. He saw Akki and another man and sat by them. "Hello Akki", he chimed in and began to eat his soup. Azure started digging into the meat, tearing it apart and chewing on it.

She winced and said, "Don't rub it in.". As soon as that was said, G'han walked in. Perfect timing. "Ick, G'han. Don't you ever sleep in? You're up early every morning. I mean, at least act partially human and sleep in for once." She said, amazed and yet disgusted at his ability to wake up early. She waved her hand towards R'dal and said, "Normally I'd introduce you two but I'm feeling tired so you better do it yourself unless you want me to confuse you with someone else."

He laughed and then nodded as she said for him to introduce himself. "I am guessing you are G'han. Akki was just talking about you. I am R'dal of brown Elith, weyrmate to Nira", he said and held out his hand to shake his.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I have to stay fit and plus it gets the blood flowing and gets me ready for a days work", he said to her. He smiled and said, "Yes I am. G'han of bronze Gerenanth, weyrmate to Rhia and father of two healthy twins, Giana and Rehan. Oh really Akki has been talking about me?", he paused and gave a smirk and said, "If it's anything bad don't believe a word of it. So Nira has herself a weyrmate now. That's good to hear. You seem like a nice enough man but I'll warn you, you hurt her and I can and will hurt you. If not then Akki will cut off your toe". He smiled and gave a chuckle to take the sting out of his words.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do not worry. I could never hurt Nira but I do understand where you are coming from. And yes she did mention cutting off my toe", he said with a laugh. "Akki was not talking bad about you either. It was good things, some even in question form", he said to him, though not touching the subject fully. If Akki wanted to know then she would have to ask, if G'han wanted to keep it secret then it would still be fine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Questions?", G'han asked and turned to Akki.

"G'han! Get out of my head!" Akki cried as he mentioned something about hurting R'dal and her cutting off his toe like she said moments before. Odd how they thought so similiar. More creepy than odd actually. "Don't inflate his ego even more R'dal." She said to him before turning to her her friend and saying, "I wasn't just talking about you so don't go and boast that I talk about how bold you are and such.".
"Yes. Questions. Is is true..."She began to say, only to leave a not so dramatic pause in the middle before continuing, "Is it true that you are part dragon? I mean, I have heard rumours but I really wanted to know. I suppose your clothing could hide dragon wings, but they would have to be quite small.".

He laughed at her and said, "Well that's what I get for hanging around you so much". He raised an eyebrow at what she asked then said, "No I am not. I am 100% human. As practical as that would be for you to ask....something tells me that is not the question". He pondered to himself what Akki was really asking about him and why she would ask R'dal a man who he didn't meet until today. Perhaps Nira told R'dal something that Akki didn't know? Who knew. If Akki really wanted to ask him something she should just ask him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
R'dal looked at her and had a hinting look in his eyes that told her to ask him.

She avoided R'dal's eyes. She knew what they were saying silently, but she didn't want him to know that she knew. She sighed and said, "You're not part dragon? I hope you know I am rather dissapointed now G'han.". She raised an eyebrow and said, "How do you know that wasn't the question?".
"Wait." She said, holding a finger up in the air. "What do you mean hanging around with me so much? Are you saying I'm a bad influence?".

"I know but you will get over it in time and no you aren't I suppose", he said to her. He took a sip of klah and leaned back in the chair. "I just knew that wasn't the question. So come on really. What is the question? You should know by now you can ask me what you want to. Which is also odd because normally you wouldn't hesitate to ask me something and also avoid the subject", he said to her. G'han did have a keen mind even if he didn't like to show it he was smart or atleast when it came to certain things. Azure finished his meat and flew around R'dal's head. He gave a questioning chirp as to who this new person was but soon decided he was ok and landed on his shoulder. G'han smiled but didn't divert his attention away from Akki.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
R'dal looked at her and wondered why she wouldn't ask. They were good friends right? So why not ask? He mentally shrugged and smiled at the flitt on his shoulder. He scratched it's eyeridges and it chirped happily.

Akki blinked, once and then twice. "G'han? You just made my head explode. Stop being so logical." She groaned as she rubbed her temples. She put her hands down and said, "R'dal knows more about your life than I do, beat him up for okay?". She cracked her toe, made a disgusted look at the sound, and turned to G'han to see his answer.

He smiled and looked at R'dal. "Hm must have been something Nira told you right?", he asked him. R'dal nodded then G'han turned his attention back to Akki. "What of my life don't you know? You have been around since the time I came here. Do you mean my life before I came here? If you wanted to know then why not ask? If Nira knew what made you think you shouldn't know? You're just as good a friend if not maybe a little closer", he said to her. True he was good friends with Nira but lately he hadn't seen her around all that often. Probably because they were both so busy and G'han had twins now and she had a weyrmate now. If Akki really wanted to know he would tell her.

"Wait. Does this mean Nira is our own little gossiper? I must ask her nect time I see her." Akki said with a smack on her leg to emphasize. "Ow." She said as realized that she might have hit her leg a bit too hard. "I think I do." She said to G'han, saying this to the part of his life before he came here.
"G'han. Shame on you. You have a weyrmate." Akki said, teasing him about teh part of being a little closer.

"Probably not", he said and gave a chuckle as she hit her leg then said ow. "Akki you know I meant as friends. I consider you one of the closest friends I have here", he stated to her. He looked at her and then said, "Well before I came here I lived in a hold. My father was excellent in the art of hand to hand combat, a true fighting genious. He thought it good that he teach me so thoroughly in it as well. Our hold was frequented with renegade attacks and that's why he thought it so important. While we were out training we saw fire coming from the hold. My father thought it best I stay behind while he checked things out, figuring another renegade attack. After awhile I returned to find the hold burnt and no trace of my family and only a couple of my dad's men left behind. They had no clue where anyone went to so we decided to rebuild the hold. Then later on we were attacked again. We fought them off and that's how I gained the two scars I have. The visible one on my neck and this one", he said and paused. He turned his back to Akki and lifted his shirt to reveal a scar that went from his left shoulder blade and curved all the way to his left side. The scar was big but faded due to how old it was. He put his shirt down and turned to her and continued, "After that attack I just went to another hold where I was searched and came here and as far as I know my family could still be alive, but they could be dead". He looked at her and said, "That's my story, my past".

Akki was silent for a moment and said, "Why don't you go back? I know you want too G'han, so don't even try to deny it. Apparently we both need to go back now. You more than me however, and so you should.". She stayed silent for another moment and then said, trying not to laugh for it would seem improper. "R'dal? Can you tell him that there is no need to flash me and to keep his shirt on? And here I thought he said he only liked me as a friend.".

"I don't know. If I did I might just stay awhile and try to find them and what if I never do? Besides my place is here with my new family", he said to her. He really would like to know what happened to them but perhaps later on, who knew. He rolled his eyes at her comment. "I was showing you the scars I got from that fight", he said to her. "R'dal don't mind her, our Akki can be a bit eccentric", he said to him and patted Akki on the head while he looked at him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
R'dal listened and said,"Well you definently had a colorful past. A lesser man might not be able to cope with that. You are obviously a strong willed person". He smiled and nodded at Akki when he spoke of her.

"I say go back G'han. It's better then wondering all of your life. I think at least." She replied. Now she wanted to go back home, despite the fact that her father cast her out. It didn't seem to matter anymore, she wanted to go back, to see her brother, to see all that she had missed. "Sure you were." She said, laughing slightly. She turned to R'dal and said, "I can't be serious for too long. It's just not me.".
