She listened to K'dan intently and then gave him a small smile as he finished and pointed out, "You're are not a simple shadow compared to her nor anyone else. Remember that. No one is a simple shadow, espeacially people with dragons." She said, as she leaned over towards him and poked him lightly in the shoulder.
She snorted and pointed out, "I think you're telling this to the wrong person.". She leaned over again, patted his cheek as she made a rather ugly impression of a concerned elder and winked happily and said, "Tell it to Nike, K'dan. Not me. I'm just a lowly person who knows nothing and can do nothing.".

I guess you're right" he said to her. He looked over at her and smiled as she patted him on the cheek. "I wish I could tell her. I saw her as I walked over here. But she was too tired, I could tell. Maybe when I get to see her again.....whenever that may be", he said with another sigh. He sat back up and took another sip of klah.

She cast him an odd look and said, "Wishing will get you nowhere K'dan, I thought you would know that. You can't wish, you do.". She popped the rest of the sweet roll into her mouth and chewed thoughtfully, swallowed and said, "Boy K'dan. You're getting me down now. I mean, come on, look on the bright side of things. I do it and it works.". She winced slightly and said, "Using myself as an example was probably a bad idea.". She paused and then laughed slightly, "I owe you a sweet roll now.".

"You're right. Next time I see her, I will talk to her", he said to her. He smiled as she mentioned the sweetroll she ate. "Akki if I minded any I would have said so. Feel free to eat more. I don't mind sharing", he added. He pushed the plate closer to her, to show her he would share.

"Good." She said simply. She shook her head as the plate came closer to her and said, "I better not. I'll grow fat and Ebbeth won't be able to hold me up.". She paused as she sipped her klah and added, "Besides. I'm not even hungry. I don't know why I even ate the first one. I really shouldn't eat things when I'm not hungry other wise I'll certainly grow fat.".

"Akki you will not grow fat", he said to her and nodded his head. "But now you are making me feel fat for having so many sweet rolls infront of me", he said as he looked at the sweetrolls and placed them aside. He took another sip of klah and looked over to Akki. "So why are you up anyway?", he asked her.

((I know I am a little late but I wasn't able to get on last night.))
Jakel came into the lower caverns. At first look, it was pretty empty so he started whisteling, but he wasn't sure what it was the tune to. That didn't bother him. The candidate filled up a cup of Klah and took a few sweetrolls, plus to meatrolls. He was starved, to say the least.
Once his plate was filled, Jakel glanced over to the empty lower caverns. This time he saw Akki and K'dan. He didn't know too much about K'dan, but that was okay. He walked over to the table with a smile on his face, though it was a bit smaller than normal. He sat down and immediantly bit into a meatroll. "Hey guys." He greeted.

"I will too K'dan." She replied with a soft snort as she latched her fingers together and stretched both arms in front of her. "I was woken up and afterwards I couldn't fall back asleep. Which gets me slightly frustrated because I am extremely tired at the moment.". With that said she sipped her klah and put it on the table, wrapping her hands around it.
She looked up as a new voice and figure appeared by them and noticed that Jakel had joined them at the table. "Hello Jakel.". She cast a look over her friend and then spoke merrily, "Shouldn't you be sleeping you silly candidate? You too K'dan. I mean really you guys, isn't it past your bed time?".

Sh'iron sighed inwardly when Christae looked away. The Weyrleader wished that Christae would take time for herself. She was a woman, and needed to act like one. Not just a Weyrwoman. Yes, she did show affection to their child, and him, but she never really expressed her love to him. Sh'iron sometimes thought that Christae really didn't love him, just only stayed with him because of their dragons, their child, and the Weyr. The Weyrleader took the soap sand and started to clean himself.
He nodded, then sunk under the water to get his hair wet. Then he started to wash his dark gold hair.
"No dragonrider would ever steal an egg. Since all the Weyrs are producing queens and healthly clutches. But mabey it was someone who really wanted a dragon, but didn't want to stand through the Hatching, and Weyrling Lessons," He said, then he rinsed his hair quickly. Once he was clean, Sh'iron got out, taking a towel to dry himself. "If the person keeps close to the egg, and touches it most of the time, the dragon inside could get used to that person, and Impress them when it hatches," at this, Sh'iron walked out and into the sleeping room.

Christae sat in the water for a few minutes after Sh'iron left. Then she shook herself and finished washing. She dressed and placed her dirty clothing in the chute to send it to the drudges. She thought about what her mate had said. She realized that she was letting her fury cloud her thinking. Of course another weyr would not steal Kaith's egg.
She walked out and went to the ledge, sitting and wrapping her arms around her knees on the edge of the drop. She could see most of the weyr from her seat. She sighed and pushed back her brown hair. She studied the weyr. The dark sky was already beginning to lighten. The sun would rise soon but the Weyr was not stirring. Christae had ordered that everyone rest. She wanted to continue searching but she wasn't as furious as she was before and she knew that tiring her riders out would only make the Weyr venerable to illness and venerable if Thread fell.
Birinj popped from between chittering with a soothing air. She looked down at the little bronze, her eyes an emotionless void. The bronze nudged her with his wedge-shaped head and sent comforting thoughts into his mistress's mind. Christae shook her head and looked up. "What am I turning into?" She asked herself forlornly. She stood and gently caressed the flitt. "Thank you Birinj." She told him softly. She turned and walked into the gaping mouth of the Queen's weyr. She stopped to scratch the mighty bronze's eye ridges.
"Sh'iron?" She called softly. She had heard a bleak tone in his voice and she realized just how little she had supported his dreams. He had supported hers and her obsession with being the best Weyrwoman. She walked into their sleeping quarters and went to him. She slid her arms around his hard waist and kissed him. "We will find that egg love and after that just tell me when and I will leave and go with you wherever you want." She whispered against his lips. She leaned against him. "Sometimes you are so strong that I feel I can't live up to your expectations as a woman and a dragonrider." She said softly turning her head down because she didn't want him to see the shame on her face.

Sh'iron sat down on the bed after he pulled on clean trousers. The Weyrleader rubbed the back of his neck, and then he layed down on his back. He wished that Myranenth was awake so he could speak to the bronze. He closed his bright blue eyes and listened to Christae's movements. The bronze rider dearly wished that Christae would really express out to him. Flood him with all her problems, that he wanted to help solve. Sh'iron sighed, and then stood up when he heard his name being called.
"Yes?" He said in reply to the voice. The bronze rider was slightly surprised as Christae put her arms around his waist then kissed him. Smiling silently to himself, the Weyrleader put his own arms around Christae. "After the Hatching of course," He said with a smile. "Ah Christae, you are a strong woman, and you do live up to my expextations, as both a woman and dragonrider. All I wish for you to do is to come to me more often. Open up to me. That's all," The Weyrleader tilted up Christae's head and kissed her.

Christae smiled shyly at him. Although they had shared many trying experiences they still did not know much about each other. They had simply been thrown together by Kaith's first flight and then their son's birth but Christae realized that she had never spent much time getting to know her mate. "I will try to make up for the time we should have had together Sh'iron. If I ever get that obsessed with my job again please slap me or something. You deserve much more than I have been giving you. I will try to be more open with you." She slid one of her hands through his hair as he kissed her and held him as close to her as she could. "Thank you for being there for me."

Sh'iron smiled lovingly down at Christae. He brushed aside her hair, and then stroked her head.
"Christae I could never slap you. But I will do what I must to get you in your right mind. And that is all I ask,"
The Weyrleader closed his eyes, and shifted his arms around his Weyrwoman's waist. "Any time, love, any time."

Christae felt tears well up in her eyes. She was luckier than she deserved to have such a loving mate. "I realize that I am single-minded in a lot of things." She sighed with contentment as he held her close. "I won't give up until the egg is found but when I need a break, I promise I will take one."
She let the tears fall silently down her face for a little while before she dried them and turned her face up to look at him. "I never knew why you transferred from Benden to here Sh'iron."

Sh'iron smiled, and led Christae to their bed. He sat her down, and perched beside her.
"I will not give up, but if you don't take enough breaks, you will wear down and won't be able to go on,"
He said and started to massage her shoulders. Christae needed to relax. She was running thin, and it wouldn't be good for the Weyr if their Weyrwoman just broke down.
Sh'iron gave a little grin. "Well, when Nike was a messenger on Tirith, she stayed at Benden for about a sevenday. During that time we became friends, along with T'ran, and F'tan. And so, she was able to persuade the Weyrleaders to allow the three of us to go down to Dark Moon. You were in need of bronzes, so the chose to send down us three. Also the Weyrleaders wanted a chance to have a Benden dragon be Weyrleader," He gave a chuckle, and then started to kiss Christae's neck.

"As much as I want to argue with you about that, I know you are right. I haven't been taking care of myself." She reached up and ran her hands through her straight brown hair and then let them drop limply in her lap as he massaged her shoulders. She felt the tension ease in her shoulders and closed her eyes.
"I remember that now, Nike spent a long time away from us before she returned. Sometimes I forget that she was a greenrider. She spends more time with the younger riders now that she has Ruanth. It's hard to believe how much all of us have changed since we became riders."
She twisted to look at him when he mentioned the fact that the Benden Weyrleaders wanted a Benden bronze to be Weyrleader. She slapped him playfully. "You knew that Myranenth would win that flight didn't you? He was the only bronze big enough to keep up with Kaith." She mock glared at him until he began to kiss her neck. She breathed in sharply, her eyes flying to the crib in the corner of the room. She relaxed when she remembered that the baby was with Uslanee. She let the tension drain from her lean body as she relaxed in her beloved's strong arms. For a time, she would forget about the egg and enjoy Sh'iron's company.

Sh'iron gave a wicked smile. "Mabey I did, mabey I didn't. But I knew from when we first met that I wanted to be your mate,"
The Weyrleader held Christae close as he kissed her. His hands travled down her sides lovingly. They were weyrmates, but they never acted like mates, unless it was a Flight. Sh'iron was glad that their son was being taken care of, and no one would be charging in on them any time soon. The Weyr was asleep. And they had atleast a few hours together.

"Oh you did did you? You met me once before that flight, not long after you transferred. You were that sure you wanted me then?" She asked, noting the wicked smile on his face. Despite the sheer exhaustion she felt, she couldn't help but shiver as he ran his hands down her sides.
"Sh'iron..." She whispered, intending to stop him. Then her mind flicked to all the times she had sacrificed herself for everyone else in the Weyr. Why shouldn't she enjoy herself? Her Queen would be out until mid-morning. There was nothing she could do about the missing egg now.
Christae forgot her rank. She pushed the fact that she was Weyrwoman to the back of her mind. Tonight, she would just be Christae, nothing more, nothing less. She lay back onto their bed, pulling her mate down with her and embracing him tightly. She broke their kiss. "Don't let me forget that I am more than just a Weyrwoman my love." She told him softly and then she pressed her lips to his again, seeking reassurance that he still wanted her as a woman, not just as the mother of his child and his Weyrwoman.

Sh'iron nodded, and smiled. He started to move along her neck when Christae spoke his name. The Weyrleader paused, and turned his blue eyes up to Christae's. But she said nothing more. Not wishing to do her any harm, the bronze rider kissed her lips slowly. Being pulled down onto the bed was a pleasent surprise. His arms were tight around her waist as he kissed her.
Sh'iron smiled. "Never," He said, and then carressed Christae's back as he kissed her. One hand started on her back while the other moved down to her trousers and started to remove them.

"Good." She told him simply and shifted so that he could slide her clothing off easier. She undid his shoulder knots and slid his shirt off, breaking their kiss to pull the shirt over his head. She ran her long fingers down his strong chest.
((I think it would be a good idea to fade here...we do have young members lol))
Christae woke from one of the deepest sleeps she had experienced in ages. She was always worrying about something or Kaith was broody and her sleep suffered. She shivered with the cold even though she could feel her lover's warm body against her. She reached down and pulled the furs up over both of them and gently kissed Sh'iron's forehead, eyes, and lips before resting her head back on his bare chest and closing her eyes, enjoying the quiet of the weyr and his strong arms cradling her against him.
