"Well, tried and failed was more like it. She realized she wasn't the best cook after that, but it was the thought that counted. And yes there was some romance here and there while I was gone. I managed to win a flight while I was gone and it just so happened it was that green rider. Nothing too deep though. We were weyrmates until another bronze won her next flight. Gerenanth was involved in another flight, a goldrider. He won that one too but the girl was so stubborn, jealous, and headstrong, too overbearing. So that was broken off real quick. Then after that I heard there was need of bronzeriders back here so I requested to transfer. Let's just say its good to be back amongst friends again. Also those dragonriders, I wouldn't challenge them to a drinking contest. I was foolish enough to do that once. Probably the most drunk I've ever been. Those guys only got a little tipsy after it was all said and done and I was out cold in my bed. That went over real well with my weyrmate, the greenrider that is", G'han said to her, explaining events that happened while he was gone.
"So what about you? What have you been up to this whole time? From what I remember you told me you had a little romantic involvement of your own", he said with a sly smile.

"Seems like Gerenanth was one busy bronze." Akki said with a snort of amusement, her eyes twinkling. "Wait, a gold flight? Wouldn't that make you like. Weyrleader or something?" She asked curiously as she waved around a piece of food as she talked. "It'd be hard to be a green rider. Too many flights to handle. I'm glad my dragon is a male, it's less difficult." She admitted with a grin. She leaned back and chewed thoughtfully for a moment. "I think I could do it. I mean, if I lost they'd probably be pretty drunk. And I could probably manage to talk them into believing I won. I think I'd come out with some pretty good story if I had too much to drink." She said with a crooked grin, imagining the story she could come up with.
"What have I been up too? Nothing really, living life and that's it. And /had/ is keyword there G'han. I have to wait about a turn for him to no longer be a weyrling. How come I'm stuck with the complicated relationships? I mean, R'dan just disspeared on me and now R'xis isn't even old enough to be with me!" She said with a grimace and a sigh. "The feast though. That was interesting. There was a nice fight. I got involved too." She said, with a almost wild grin. Pulling up part of her clothing slightly, she showed G'han the large, purple-blue bruise that had formed on her hip from the fight. "Lovely isn't it? Let's face it G'han. Dark Moon is against me at times. It makes me make bad decisions, and gives me guys that won't work out." She said, the corner of her lip turning downwards.
Shaking her head slowly, blonde hair swishing side to side she said, "And yet, even after a few turns of saying I might leave for awhile, I'm still here. Clearly fate is against me.". The last part was said with a snort of amusement.

"No. There are slightly more gold riders at Ista. Definently more than two, just like there is with Bronzes. I was definently not a Weyrleader and as much as she would like to think, she was no where close to becoming a Weyrwoman. Lucky me right?", G'han said with a chuckle. He saw the bruises on her hips and gave a somewhat concerned look. "A fight? How did that happen and why would you get involved? Too bad I wasn't there because they wouldn't have been able to lay a finger on you", G'han said. He listened to the rest of what she had to say. Taking a sip of his drink and some bites here and there. "Hey that's what you have to love about this weyr right? So much complication, yet it's still home. You'll find someone Akki, as will I. I guess neither of us are willing to be tied down though into anything serious right now though". The last part he gave a bit of a chuckle.

"I should scold you for speaking that way of a gold rider G'han, but I'm feeling nice today." She said with a wink as she took another sip of the drink. "Some guys came in, made fun of K'lor, that's a weyrling I'm not sure if you met him or not, and his green. I stood up for him, might have thrown an insult or two. Before I knew it, he was hitting me. I didn't hit back though, much as I wanted too. Ebbeth got real mad though." She said with a slightly concerned look. "I've never seen him mad before G'han, no one really has. But wow. You should have heard him. He silently roared, and it was ferocious and then he said if the man touched me again, Ebbeth would rip him apart with his jaws as soon as he could reach him. He meant it too G'han.".
She shook her head slowly. "I feel bad about it. I ruined the feast in my opinion. Sometimes I think that clearly Ebbeth made a mistake and I should be back at Derth Hold with my dad, with him yelling at me. Maybe that way my brother would have some way to find me, because he would know where I was.". "Serious? Please G'han. That word simply isn't in my vocabulary. I figure if I'm desperate enough, I'll get together with myself. That way I won't be alone." She said with a grin.

"Yeah maybe you're right. Anyway it's over so there's no need to continue", he said to her. He took more sips as he listened to her tell the story. "So the guys who made fun of that weyrling hit you? Well I gotta say they are obviously cowards. First they pick on a young weyrling then hit a lady. No class whatsoever. I wouldn't stand by for such a thing", he said to her then took another bite of food. "I doubt you ruined the feast, if anyone it was those bullies. And I know serious isn't in your vocabulary but getting together with yourself? Not possible and you would be lonely because it's still only one person. How do you think up these crazy things?", he said to her, then poured himself another glass. "Care for another glass?", he offered as he extended the bottle of wine out.

"Correction, it was only one man. The rest seemed like genuine sweeties, it was just one man who picked on K'lor and then picked a fight with me. And I'm no lady G'han, everyone knows that. I'm Akki. I have no gender." She said with a short giggle. She rolled her eyes and told the rider, "Stop trying to be all masculine. Female riders can handle themselves too you know.". "How isn't it possible? I'd be with me all the time, I'd have someone to talk to whenever needed. It's perfectly possible. It's called split personalities G'han." She pointed out to him, using her sense of logic that never worked quite right. She nodded her head as he offered her another glass. "You're just waiting for me to drink enough, aren't you?".

"I know, but it doesn't hurt to have me around to pound their faces in before they get to you. Good thing it was only one guy, other than that the feast must have been full of well behaved people", he said and took another sip. "And of course you have a gender Akki. You're a girl, who has tried to have a relationship with two other guys. One left and the other, it's way too complicated. And no I'm not trying to. The bottle was closest to me so, common courtesy, I extended the offer to pour another glass should you want one", he said to her, and took another bite, washing it down with another sip.

Akki rolled her eyes, with a grin of course, and said to her friend, "G'han don't make me wish that you'd choke on your food. Akki is a big girl now, she can take care of herself. Besides, I'm pretty sure Ebbeth would have somehow managed to shove his big old body into the room if he touched me one more time. Turns out that my loveable dragon is quite protective.". "Lalalalala." Akki cried out loud in a sing song voice as she plugged her ears with her fingers. "Yes G'han, let's bring up my failed and failing relationships, good idea." She said, clucking her tongue. She felt bad saying her relationship with R'xis was failing, it was merely standing still at the moment...right? "Mhm. Sure. Common courtesy.".

"You're right. You're a big girl and can take care of yourself. And sorry, I didn't mean to", he said to her. He took yet another sip to wash down his food then said, "Think what you want Akki but know that you're the one thinking that. So that kinda makes me wonder".

"Glad to have this fact acknowledged." She said cheerfully. "At Derth, the people would be treating me like I was still eight turns. No lie. Even know, if I returned with Ebbeth they would think that I bribed some rider to lend me his dragon." She said with a snort of amusement. "Well, yes. I am the one thinking that. I don't people think the same way I do. I think I'd feel less original if someone was." She said with a frown and a blink.

"Wow. Nothing like where I was raised at", he said to her. Then continued with a smirk, "Then again the way you act sometimes, one would worry about you". He then gave a look to her. "So then you are thinking about it? Hm, and us guys always get the blame for thinking of such things. Perhaps its you who hopes that I will drink enough", he said to her, afterwards giving a chuckle and sipping on his drink more.

She snorted and said with a roll of her eyes, "Consider yourself lucky. After my mother died, the place was like living death. No one looked at us in the eyes anymore, they were afraid they'd 'Disturb our mourning'. Mind you, my brother and I stopped mourning after a bit but noooo, they still wouldn't.". "G'han, clearly you weren't understanding what I was saying. You said that I should now that I was the one thinking it. And I said, yes I was the one thinking it. But that means nothing. It merely means that I was thinking it." She clucked her tongue, as if correcting a young child.

"Sorry you had to endure that Akki", he said to her. Then raised an eyebrow at her next statement. "Fact is, you were thinking it though. Thought didn't cross my mind, but it did yours", he said, then gave a smirk. After taking another sip.

"Oh don't be. It kind of made me realize that I wanted to get out of there." She said with a large grin. Obviously it took a bit to get Akki down for long, the girl was just too energetic. "I was only thinking it because you were first. I'm right, you're wrong. Deal with it." She said with a small smile as she sipped at the drink and popped another piece of food into her mouth.

"I was only thinking it because you were but to keep this arguement from going any further we'll just both agree that we're thinking about it. Happy?", he said. He took another sip, beginning to realize just how potent the drink was. He wasn't close to drunk yet but he was definently feeling the drink.

"You just don't want to admit you're wrong." Akki muttered happily into her glass, which was half full. She was taking the drink slowly, otherwise she'd probably regret it eventually. And there was the fact that Ebbeth wouldn't exactly be happy about her downing anything. She hid a yawn with her hand and admitted, "I'm tired. The day has taken alot out of me. You can't surprise a girl like that you know, just appearing I mean. It wears her out.".

"I do when I am", he said simply to her. "It's can't be that late. The sun was just setting when you arrived and like I said. I meant to write", he said to her.

"Liar." She tossed back at him with a laugh. She shrugged her shoulders and replied with a, "I've had an interesting week G'han. Bruises, my dragon threatening others, watching a hatching. Best hatching too, like I said before. Mutants galore you know. And everyone I know Impressed. Some Impressed mutants too. And a gold. It was grand.". She shook her head and felt the need to point something out once again. "Meant too, and did are different things you silly person.".

"Well I guess it would seem you have had an interesting week and I'm sorry. But I did mean to. You saw that there were letters I had written", he said to her. He took another sip and thought to himself, maybe it was a good idea to get rid of them now. Thankfully quite a few of them were unfinished.

"Pfft. You were probably one your way and then realized 'Oh hey, Akki will want to know why I haven't written.'. So while flying, you grabbed some spare parchment and quickly scribbled down somethings you made up. Then when you landed, you showed me the letters and me being the silly person that I am, believed you." She said, tapping the side of her chin thoughtfully as she let this little plot idea unfold in her head and bloom quickly. Turning her attention back to him she tilted her head to the side and asked, "What are you thinking right now?".
