Two New Arrivals: Going for a Swim

[nako]

Rukbat was burning down mercilessly by midday in Dark Moon Weyr,and it would take a toll on anyone who wasn't used to it for sure. The lake would surely be quite an attractive place by this time of day, and it was. Two dragons floated down towards the cool waters. One was a huge beast, an oddly light colored bronze with an equally odd slender figure. The contrast was great next to its hazel companion, a thick and solid looking brown. Striding across the bowl would be two equally contrasting figures.

"That was more work than it was worth" the stocky man grumbled, rolling his broad shoulders back as he walked. "Why did we even decide to carry so much stuff in the first place?"

The more slender, freckled man chuckled, giving the brownrider a slap on his back. "Because it's best to be prepared, C'ben. Faranth knows that you'd be crying all the way back to Kharasi if you forgot something. Besides, you're just upset that you couldn't con me into moving all your stuff for yo-.. ! Hey!" The slender bronzerider faltered and had to catch himself as he was nearly lurched forward by the broad man's boot in front of his legs. C'ben's grumpy demeanor vanished as haughty laughter took place.

"Come now, R'zlin. Where are those bronzerider reflexes?" The brownrider chuckled as the slender man, R'zlin, flicked his long hair from on his shoulder onto his back, which was tied into a neat plait. "Brownrider, you're lucky we're in a new Weyr" But of course, the two knew it was only banter.

At the lake, the two dragons had already reached the water, sending their pleasantries to whichever dragons may be in the lake at the time.(if any)

To summarize these two men, they both seemed in their mid to late twenties. The brownrider is a built, slightly shorter man with brown curls and gray eyes, and the bronzerider was a lanky red-headed thing with long hair and green eyes. Their names are C'ben and R'zlin respectively. They have both transferred from Kharasi Weyr, which deployed a few riders to more or less 'learn the ways of other Weyrs'. It is becoming more of a common practice, and with thread imminent, it is best to have as much training and understanding of techniques as possible.

((OOC: This is just in case you all wish to have your riders know something about why there are transfers and whatnot. Also, be gentle. I'm terribly rusty. I'll leave it at this; they are walking toward the lake, possibly.. I don't know, 100 feet away from the shore? ))

((You'll probably want to ask a moderator or admin to move this down to the lake forum, if the lake is where it's going to be. Unless you want it here.))

((The lake I am speaking of is the lake inside the Weyrbowl, which is the one often used for bathing dragons and general use. The lake that has its own board is outside the Weyr =) Thank you for your concern though))

Mine!!! Reinath voice boomed in Miya's head.
The gold-rider looked up at her gold's shining head. The two were currently in the water. Both were pretty wet. Miya had her leggings rolled up her legs to keep them dry. She rubbed her forearm across her eyes to keep water out of them. Her softsand covered hands were resting on the golds hide, brighter than normal due to her nearing her first flight.

What is it, Reinath? We are almost done. Miya replied, we including her flitts, brown Tonu and green Kali flying around and helping Miya scrub the large gold's hide.

The transfer riders just came from between. Reinath informed her bonded.

Miya looked up to see two dots in the sky. Then it is a good thing I have just finished. Miya replied. She washed her hands free of softsand in the cool waters of the lake. She then walked out as Reinath slipped her slender body under the water. Miya rolled down the legs of her leggings and dried her hands off on her top. Her dark brown eyes watched the bronze and brown come closer and land on the ground.

Reinath came back out of the water as both dragons joined her. The gold trumpeted a welcome to the two. Meanwhile, Miya walked up to the two riders. "Welcome to Dark Moon Weyr. You must be the transfer riders. I am Miya, rider of gold Reinath and Jr. Weyrwoman." She greeted as politely as she could.

((Actually they aren't coming out of between, just.. flying down to the water =3))

Both dragons were eager to slip into the cool waters after spending the day moving their rider's belongings, and they sent their kindest regards to the Jr. Queen as they did so. Good day, Reinath. I am Riranyth. This is Leovenath. An idle gesture was made with the bronze's wing, and the brown looked to its larger kin with a vaguely annoyed look. Good day, Reinath. Alas, the brown had to get -some- words in. The two dragonriders continued to close the distance between themselves and the queenrider, and salutes were given. R'zlin was the one to speak.

"Many thanks, and that would be right, m'lady. I am R'zlin of bronze Riranyth, and my friend here is C'ben of brown Leovenath. Those two are ours, as you might have guessed" he gave a crooked smile as the two dragons looked up with idle recognition, but it seemed that they were already engaged in speaking with the queen dragon. "We already have our things moved in, which would explain our.. disheveled appearance"

"We supposed a dip in the lake would be acceptable before reporting for further duties." C'ben chimed in, giving a broad smile. "Don't want the Weyrleaders to think we're slacking off or anything" C'ben only grinned more as R'zlin shot him a look.

[Kandarra]

((Actually, there is only one lake. They are one and the same.))

[nako]

((Oh, well that is a mistake beyond my problem I suppose XD Because based on the images in 'maps', said lake is within the Weyr. Methinks I should mention to the Weyrwoman that it doesn't make sense XD Thanks for pointing that out, and I'll see what Hawk says about it))

((the lake is now moved into the weyr))
