Nike nodded. "Kaith is a very broody clutchmother," She said. "I may come with you guys if I have enough time. I haven't seen the eggs since they were clutched." The Healer added with a smile. So far it looked like there weren't going to be any whites, but she didn't mind. THere should be only one white at a time. Mabey one every Pass. Yes, Nike liked that thought.

Hali shook her head. "No thanks. I am fine here." She said simply. Hali, or Kalor, had a lot to think about. SHe would have to keep her distance from anyone. Even a friendship could be risky. She would also have to watch out for that Miya, girl. Her thoughts wandered back to the candidate that was kicked out. If her secret was revealed, would she be kicked out? No, because they would never find out. If she impressed, her dragon just couldn't ever mate. That would be so risky. Oh, she had never thought about that. She heard dragonlust was powerful. Hali sighed. She had to be very careful.
Her blue-green eyes looked aorund. It was so empty. She wondered why there weren't any other candidates in here. Oh well, it was perfectly fine with her.

Nike shrugged. "Alright, but they are really an amazing sight," She said with a happy little sigh. "Aren't they, G'han?" The Healer asked, turning to smile at the bronze rider.
Will you please hurry up? Ruanth asked sleepily.
Why?
Because I need a bath, and you haven't given me one today.
Fine. Mabey I get some help.
The firelizards help.
I mean human help.

Hali noticed that Nike was staring into space. "Is something wrong with her?" Hali questioned. SHe did not know how riders looked when they were talking to their dragons.

Nike blinked a few times, and then turned to the Candidate. "I was just talking to Ruanth. That is how riders look when they talk to their dragons," She said with a smile. "Ruanth wants me to wash her after I am done with my chores." Nike said after a moment's pause. Zim settled down on Nike's shoulder, while Crystal flew into the pile of dirty sheets, hiding.

"Yes they are beautiful", he said to Nike then gave a chuckle at the girl's question. He was going to answer but then Nike did.

Hali nodded. "So, how big is a white dragon? Are they only a certain gender?" She asked. She cleared her throat again, it was begining to get difficult to speak lower, she was still really new to it.

Nike pondered this question. "Well since there has only been Ruth, and Ruanth, it is hard to say. Ruth was about twenty feet fully grown. Ruanth has grown faster than Ruth, but she has slowed down a lot. She is about fifteen. I think she will also be around twenty feet. And there has been one male, and one female white," She said with a smile. Nike was proud of Ruanth, and didn't mind talking about her.

"So Kalor tell us a bit about yourself. Your family, life, whatever", G'han said to her. Why not get to know the candidate better. He was open for questions himself though some details of his past were a bit harder than others.

Nike turned back to her work. She would just listen, and speak if she had a comment.
A smile was on her face. This new Candidate was different, but oh well. Many people in the Weyr were.
You are different, and that is why I chose you.
I know love. And I am glad because you did. Nike replied happily.

Kalor was quiet for a moment. She couldn't give away too many details of her life. "Nothing too interesting. My mother...died." Hali did know that the group killed her mother. "I live with my father and a few of his friends." Which technically was true. "That is pretty much it. I am fourteen. What about you, G'han?" Hali stood there, looking at him. She would not be one to give the details of her life. She knew better than that.

Perin entered the boys barracks, a set of riding straps thrown over his shoulder. He had gotten permission to do the Weyr's hidework and he had already taken commissions from a bluerider. The blue's straps were wearing thin so Perin would be mending them and strengthening the weak hide.
He looked up and his pale blue eyes widened in suprise. "Hello." His eyes flicked to the shoulder knot of the rider he didn't recognize. He was a bronzerider. The other lad must be a new Candidate. He remembered the Whiterider and bowed a greeting to her. "Whiterider Nike, a pleasure to see you again. I cannot thank you enough for bringing me here."
He turned to the other two. "I am Master Tanner Perin, I am a Candidate here." He looked to the lad. "I take it you are a Candidate as well?" Perin's voice was deep and accented his dark look. He had pulled his blue-black hair away from his face in a runner tail and his high cheekbones stood out in the light of the glowbaskets.

"Yes. I am Kalor, simply Kalor." She replied to him. Hali was a bit shocked that his voice was that deep at his age. She would definately have to practice deepening her voice sometime when she was alone.

Nike turned her head to see Perin. The Healer smiled warmly.
"Hello Perin. How have you been?" She asked. Here she was, in a room full of males. Any green rider would be happy to be in her position. But no, not Nike. She has a mate, and with child. And no one else was taking K'dan's place.

"Nice to meet you Kalor. If you ever need any work done by a Tanner, let me know. I can do boots, riding straps, pretty much any hideworl. I can also show you around the Weyr when you are ready. I don't have any chores and I am certain a bronzerider is too busy to show around Candidates." Perin smiled warmly.
"Being in the weyr is rather daunting when you are not used to it. Just be careful which caverns you enter in the Lower Caverns. It is easy to get lost. One time a drudge found me wandering through the wrong corridors because I had taken a wrong turn." His pale eyes danced with mirth.

"I am well Whiterider. I was able to get permission to do the Weyr's hidework. Now I know my skills will not be wasted if I remain here." He smiled. His teeth were white against his dark skin.

"Thankyou Perin. I may take you up on that offer later. As I told G'han, for now I am fine." Hali sighed. Since the sheets were done he sat back done on the bed.

"Thank you Whiterider." Perin said to Nike after the sheets were done. He went to his own cot and set down his leatherwork. "Just let me know when you want that tour. I'd be glad to take you."
He reached under his bed and pulled out his tool belt. There were strips of hide tacked onto a board near his bed and he carefully chose the right width and length of hide to mend the bluerider's straps. The rider would need the straps by the next morning so he wanted to get it finished. It was a fairly easy job but he didn't want to mess up on the first job the weyr had entrusted to him.
"So what area are you from? I was originally from the Northern Continent but I left home at 13 Turns to continue my training as a Tanner and to get away from my overcrowded hold."

"I am fourteen. I am from here and there. We...move a lot." Truthfully, she didn't live anywhere. In the live of a renegade, she traveled everywhere. If you stay in one place and keep on stealing, it becomes very difficult to keep stealing and being safe.
Her blue-green eyes turned over to G'han. He seemed like an interesting man. She really wanted to know about him.
