Mneith stood in the Weyrling courtyard, his rider dwarfed by his hind leg as she stood waiting for dawn so that the Weyrlings could be summoned to attend their first class.
The new W'lings had been given the day off after the Hatching because the entire weyr had been summoned for a mock-Threadfall. Some of the wings had done well but the rest of the drill had been a disaster. Most of the wings hadn't been able to compensate for the dragons that had been sent to the weyr as "injured." Rhia knew that the weyr would be in for harder drills within the next few days.
She didn't have to worry about that, however, because she had to deal with the training of the newest Weyrlings. They would be joining the wings in less time than they thought and would be facing Threadfall sooner than any rider would wish them to. It was her job to prepare them for the uncertain future.
She turned to her massive brown dragon. "Call them in love." The dragon lifted his wedge-shape head, his eyes whirling idly blue-green.
Calling ALL Weyrlings! Report to class IMMEDIATELY! The dragon's voice reverberated in the heads of all the dragons. The bellow that accompanied his mental call was loud enough to cause vibrations in the stone beneath his rider's feet.

Kinest appeared, dishelved as usual, and yawned sleepily. Immediately by his side trotted Temesth, who peered at the giant brown in interest, before turning his attention back to his bonded. Kinest idly scratched the back of his neck wondering if he should say hi or just wait. Deciding it'd be rude not to at least acknowledge his new teacher he gave a half wave and awkward grin before turning his gaze away, hoping someone else would appear quickly.

Hasima had barely been able to sleep after the feast and hatching. She kept wondering how it could be possible that one day could decide your future, could change your life so completely. And she was still wondering that. Part of her was still waiting for her to open her eyes, awake from a dream only to find herself back at Ista, trailing behind the other kids slowly.
Slowly but surely she shuffled into the courtyard and bowed her head slightly as the large brown and the Weyrlingmaster. Greetings to you and your rider Rimith said sweetly as she trotted beside her rider, remembering her manners. The small yellow's hide gleamed healthily, and her eyes whirled with content as she surveyed the blue dragon that was with them in the courtyard. Hasima offered Kinest a small and awkward grin as a greeting as she looked over at him.

Mneith noded a greeting to K'nest and Temesth. Greetings to you young blue. My rider sends her regards to you and your rider. The brown's mental voice was warm and welcoming. Rhia smiled at the skittish young bluerider. He was younger than they would have liked but he Impressed and that was all that mattered. She nodded a greeting and was about to speak to him when Hasima entered with her beautiful little yellow. Mneith turned his giant head towards the yellow. He lowered his head so that he could see her better. My greetings to you and yours lovely one.
"Good morning K'nest, Hasima. Remember that you must greet your WLM or WLs with a bow. The same goes for Lord and Lady Holders and the Master of a craft. Anyone else can be greeted informally but always show respect. Always greet your WLM and his or her dragon. Treat everyone with politeness and you will never have cause to shame your weyr or your teachers." Her voice was gentle, made to be an instruction, not a rebuke. Her grey eyes were amused. Other Weyrs did not approve of Dark Moon's informality. She didn't mind but she would have to teach her new W'lings how to treat their superiors with respect while they were in the view of others.

J'kel walked happily toward the others, almost skipping down the imaginary path that led him to the lesson. While he seemed bright and cheery, Jorath was another story. The poor blue yawned and walked after his rider, obviously wanting to go back to sleep.
Wake up, Jorath. It is our first lesson, at least stand up straight. J'kel paused to shake his finger at the lazy blue, but a smile remained on his face.
Jorath jerked his head in a small nod and stood up a little straighter before heading toward the Weyrling-master and dragon again.
The both bowed at Rhia and Mneith. J'kel's bow was a little rushed, but it was getting better. "Good morning Weyrling-master. Goodmorning..umm...weyrlingmasters brown." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, a bit embarrassed that he had forgotten the brown's name.
Jorath thought about this. I think it is...Mnet, or something like that.
I remember! It is Mneith, thank-you Jorath. "Good morning Mneith." J'kel corrected.
Yes, yes. Good morning teachers! Jorath replied, a bit more enthusiastically then his appearance suggested.
J'kel looked around. "Hasima!" He said excitedly. The blue-rider walked toward her and slung an arm around her shoulders. "Good morning. I hope both you and the little yellow are well." J'kel greeted, also forgetting the yellow's name. He then turned to Kinest. "I know you!" He exclaimed as Jorath walked up beside him. "You are....umm...." Poor J'kel was obviously having trouble with names.
Hello sister and brother. Jorath greeted.
**************************
Hali walked up slowly. Quite the opposite of J'kel and Jorath, Orylith was nudging her riders legs, urging the fake-boy on. Hali really didn't want to meet everyone, she was still very embarrassed by her family's actions at the feast and she just wanted to be alone.
That is too bad mine, we have to get go to our first lesson. I am sure that none of them are worried about it anymore. After all, only you real father is anything like you. The tiny green explained.
Hali and Orylith bowed to Rhia and Mneith, though Hali never lifted her eyes. "Good morning." She said to them in her fake-deep voice.
Good morning. I am sorry about my mine, she is a bit sad, but don't worry. I can make it better. Orylith explained, quickly expelling any thoughts about getting help. She wanted to do it on her own.
Hali walked away a bit from the others, not really wanting to talk to them. Orylith sighed, but let her mine have her space from the other Weyrlings.

L'von, by nature an early riser, was already awake and dressed when he heard Mneith's bugle and subsequent summons to the weyrling courtyard. Zalith followed behind him as he started the walk there.
I'm hungry, she said, can we eat something?
I expect that's what we're going to do when we get there, he answered, smiling down at her. He paused to scratch her eye ridges for a moment, then they walked on until they reached the courtyard. L'von walked up to Rhia. "Good morning, Weyrlingmaster, I hope you and Mneith are well," he greeted her, bowing.
----
V'koran, by nature an early riser but exhausted by the night's events, was rudely awakened by Mneith's call to order. He fumbled out of bed, grabbing his boots, pants, and tunic, and combed his hair. Still groggy, he looked around for Verith to wake him up.
I am right here, the dragonet said, sitting on the other side of V'koran's bed, and I am feeling rather empty. May we go eat?
Yeah, yeah, V'koran replied sleepily, starting the walk to the weyrling courtyard. I'll get you something. Before he could even rub his eyes, he and Verith were in the courtyard. He walked up to Rhia and bowed. "Good mor-morning, Weyrlingmaster," he said, unable to stifle a yawn.

Rhia nodded to each w'ling as they approached. Mneith sent out his greetings to the new dragonets as well. After a few had arrived she smiled. "Welcome to your first lesson class. Most of you already know me from Candidate classes since I double as Candidate Master and WLM but for those that don't or have forgotten names, I am Rhia, rider of brown Mneith and your WLM. I hope that you and your dragons are well and I also hope that you will have a good day today. We will wait a while longer for the rest of the Weyrlings to arrive but from now on you have exactly twenty minutes to get to the Weyrling courtyard from the time of Mneith's summoning. Tardiness will be punished."

Hasima quietly apologized for the fact that she had forgotten to bow to Rhia and the large brown, and bowed to them as to correct herself from before. Hasima was about to say something to Rimith, something about how she thought that J'kel might come late because she could picture him sleeping in. But before a word slipped out, she felt a arm heavily sling itself around her. She looked to the side of her and grinned shyly, "Hello J'kel. And Jorath.". Despite her wretched memory, she had taken it upon herself to remember everyone's names and she was getting a bit better at it. She nodded slowly, "We're fine, thank you.".
Greetings to you too clutch-brother. Rimith crooned sweetly before turning her head to also greet Temesth, Orlyith, Zalith and Verith. Greetings to all of you, also The yellow said pleasantly, not wanting to appear rude and not greet them. Hasima and her dragonet listened politely to Rhia and both made a mental note to not be late. Being punished didn't seem like the best thing to get.

Rhia waited a few moments more so that the rest of the W'lings could arrive. She nodded a greeting to the former Harper Apprentice as she and her green Priath arrived. Anassa bowed politely and then took her place with the other W'lings. P'rin and his bronze Kilzanth were not far behind her. He too bowed and then stood off to the side to wait for instructions.
"Now I will call out attendance." ((THIS IS NPC DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS. This is just to see which w'lings get chores and for me to see...your posting is saying you are here))
1. K'nest of blue Temesth
2. T'vril of bronze Mekinoth
3. Jessalyn of copper Aylith
4. V'koran of brown Verith
5. Hali/Kalor of green Orylith
6. Rifenjesk of green Sulith
7. R'xis of female brown Ersith
8. P'an of brown Drath
9. J'kel of blue Jorath
10. Hasima of yellow Rimith
11. L'von of green Zalith
12. Sorcha of moolightstreak Lirlith
13. P'rin of bronze Kilzanth
14. Anassa of green Priath
15. Wolf of gold Serinth
((now it becomes IC))
Rhia smiled out at her charges, knowing that they were not going to like the schedule they would begin following as of the next morning.
"W'lings you will be on a schedule starting tomorrow. I will post it on the W'ling board in the courtyard. I will also be posting chores. They will change every sevenday because I do not want any of you stuck with the same chores over and over again."
05:45 - Wake-up, dress
06:00 - Breakfast
06:30 - Preparation of meat for hatchlings/feeding of dragons
07:00 - Morning lecture and Q&A
08:30 - Morning training sessions
10:30 - Bathing/oiling of dragon
11:45 - Barracks clean-up
12:15 - Midday meal
12:45 - Afternoon chores
02:30 - Afternoon lecture and Q&A
04:00 - Afternoon training sessions
06:00 - Evening meal
07:00 - Evening chores
1000 - Free time
10:30 - Lights out
She outlined the schedule. "I will give you an overview of what we will be learning during the first 4 sevendays of lessons. Mind you this might change."
Month 1
Topics for this month:
Basic dragon care: proper feeding and hygiene - includes how, what and when to feed the dragonet, and what to do if a dragon has overeaten. Also includes training the dragonet to conform to a schedule but also to be willing and able to shift schedule when necessary.
Understanding and strengthening pair bonding - getting used to dragon emotions, and strengthening the mental and emotional bond between rider and dragon.
Complete tour of the Weyr - identification of areas off-limits for Weyrlings.
Be able to identify by name all members of particular Weyrling class.
Skills assessment and learning how to perform daily tasks on the Weyrling work schedule - this includes latrine duty (usually the poor sot who is currently being punished), mending clothes, helping in the kitchens, helping to serve meals, unloading tithe wagons, assisting Crafters, etc. This schedule is posted each week, with Weyrlings being rotated through various tasks. During this first month, Weyrlings will be introduced to all of the possible different duties that appear on the work schedule.
Basic first aid skills - use of numbweed, stopping bleeding, proper wound care (cleaning, changing bandages), creating a personal first aid kit for rider and dragon.
Learning the basics of firestone selection, sizing and proper bagging. Weyr rules and regulations.
Knowing when to ask for help.
Every Weyrling must make his or her own shoulder knot.
Every Weyrling must butcher for his or her dragon.
She smiled. "I know you are probably starting to hate me at the moment but this must be done. Now I have to tell you the rules of W'ling hood. Since you are Jr. W'lings and we don't have Sr. W'lings the Sr. rules do not apply to you but they will once there is a clutch on the sands which should be soon."
1. Weyrlings do not have intimate relationships of any kind (whether or not actual sex is involved). Your dragon will not understand the emotions involved and will be harmed by them.
2. Weyrlings are not allowed to leave the Weyr under any circumstances, without express permission from the Weyrleaders.
3. Don't try anything before you've been taught. This includes riding your dragon, chewing firestone and flaming, and especially going between.
4. No tormenting those with any sort of limitation or restriction, both authority-wise or health wise.
5. Daring other Weyrlings to do something they have not been taught, or inciting them to break any rules will not be tolerated.
6. Whenever the WLM or one of his assistants is speaking, you are to give them your full attention. You are expected to obey orders - this prepares you for when you become part of a Fighting Wing. Questioning or disobeying a superior's orders can result in the death of you, your dragon, or a fellow rider and his dragon when fighting Thread.
7. No consumption of alcohol during your weyrling period. Wait until after you graduate.
8. The barracks are restricted to authorised personnel only. This means weyrlings, WLM and assistants, weyrleader and weyrwomen only.
Junior Weyrlings:
9. Visitors are not allowed without express permission from the Weyrleader in the event of an emergency. Your lifemate is young and the two of you need to be together constantly, working on your bond without distraction.
10. Do not leave the barracks or training area without permission from a WLM or assistant. Do not leave your lifemate unless he or she is fast asleep.
Senior Weyrlings:
11. Harassing younger Weyrlings or candidates will not be tolerated.
12. Anyone who proves him or herself untrustworthy will be sent to a hold as a relay rider for three months. The Weyrleader has to be able to trust every fighting rider fully.
"If you do not follow these rules you will be punished and the punishments get worse with the more offences you have. So I suggest you follow them. We all had to and we survived. Any questions?" She winked.
((this will be condensed and some of them will be npc lessons))

J'kel just stared at Rhia as words spilled out of her mouth like a waterfall. (That is what J'kel thinks anyways.) Uhh...Jorath, did you get that? The weyrling asked nervously.
Huh? What? Oh..um...maybe. Jorath said lightly.
Were you even listening? J'kel questioned.
Well..um....parts! Jorath hadn't realized there was a speech until part way through and had kept zoning out.
Jorath! J'kel scolded.
Well you were listening. You can fill me in later. The blue decided.
Heh....if I can remember. J'kel added quietly.
((What a poor team they make! They get along but don't exactly help eachother.))

Rhia smiled and chuckled at the blank expressions on some of the W'ling's faces. "Don't worry I will be posting this information on the Weyrling board. But from now on whatever I teach you will have to stick in your heads so you had best learn to pay attention." Her eyes flicked over J'kel and his dragon for a moment.
((lol))

"Why?" Wolf moaned, having just woken-up when Mneith's call reached her ears. She sat up, a bit dizzy. She rubbed her temples, muttering about how she wasn't an early riser. She looked over to Serinth's bed where she was just stirring. "Time to get up, we don't have a choice," Wolf said annoyingly. Serinth sleepily headed to the entrance of the Weyrling Barracks, waiting for her's to get ready. Wolf screamed, expressing further annoyance of not being able to sleep-in. "Why, why, why!" she shouted, causing Serinth to wince.
The pair were soon on there way, dragging there feet the entire time. Wolf closed her eyes over, though she continued to walk. "I want to sleeeep," she whined. Me too! Serinth chimed in. "No no," Wolf said, looking over at her dragonet. "You can't be rebellious too, I don't think the Weyr would allow it." Serinth looked surprised for a moment, until Wolf smirked. Serinth rumbled in laughter, looking about the Weyrling Training grounds once they arrived. Wolf raised a hand, covering her mouth as she yawned. "Present," she mumbled. She was glad to see that she wasn't late, since others were still arriving as well. She stood still, though she was struggling with doing so much as that.
Serinth looked up at Wolf, then looked over to Rhia and Mneith. You haven't greeted the WeyrlingMaster Serinth sent in a low whisper. Wolf's eyes shot open immediately as she recalled her manners. "I'm so sorry," she frowned. She straightened her back, standing tall as she headed up to Rhia. She bowed low, keeping her balance (unlike most times.) "Good-morning to you," she said respectfully. Serinth looked up at brown Mneith, enlightened. I hope you and your's are faring well today. Serinth hoped she had said the right thing, feeling quite unsure of herself. Wolf then stepped back, joining the group of Weyrlings behind her. She scanned over the whole lot, hoping to find her friends. "J'kel, Hasima!" she squeaked, racing over to them. She pummeled right into Hasima, putting a hand on the girl's back to keep her standing. "Sorry," she quickly said, Serinth at her side in no time at all. Hello clutch-brothers and clutch-sisters, I hope all of you and your rider's are faring well today! Serinth announced, permitting everyone to hear. "Good girl," Wolf praised her, glad that the Gold has some common sense compared to her.
She turned to Rhia as she spoke of the rules and schedule that they would be following. Wolf's face immediately drained of all emotion, shocked by how many things they had to remember. "That's a lot of stuff." She looked around, hoping that no one would be regarding her as a fool for saying so. She looked over at J'kel, seeing that he too was overwhelmed by the mass of things named off. Wolf, despite her short attention span, was doing her best to pay attention.
Do not be overwhelmed Mine, things will come easier once you are used to doing them on a regular basis. True, Wolf sniffed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
R'xis came down the route to the Weyrling Barracks, looking both relaxed and happy. Ersith walked equally fast at his side, not wanting to be late either. R'xis pushed back his unruly blond-hair, excited to be heading to his very first Weyrling lesson. Ersith contained herself, knowing she'd be using her energy to train with her's.
The first thing R'xis did-unlike his sister-was head up to the WeyrlingMaster. "I'm very glad to be here, I would like to bid you a good-morning." He bowed low, remembering that it was only right of him to. Ersith crooned, it being easy to tell how much energy she had currently. Her tail wavered back and forth behind her, her head raised to look upon brown Mneith. Hello there great WeyrlingMaster's dragon, it is good to be seeing you and your's. I hope that the both of you are doing well today. It is a beautiful day, isn't it? A perfect day for lessons really. Ersith unintentionally rambled, hoping that Mneith didn't mind.
R'xis then stood among his fellow Weyrlings, looking for anyone he recognized like Wolf had done. At the sight of his sister his entire face-lit up. "Wolf!" he yelled. He jogged over to her, eyes drifting over the faces of J'kel and Hasima. "Hey," he nodded to each of them, not knowing them all that well. Ersith joined him, smiling at her clutch-brother and clutch-sisters. It is nice to be surrounded by you all, I hope that you and your's are in good spirits today, Ersith said aloud. She had been addressing even those not in her current group.
R'xis too looked over at Rhia once she began to speak. He appeared not phased by the duties and things that were named-off. He had expected being a dragonrider to have a constant schedule. Ersith felt calmed by how easily R'xis was taking to the instructions given.

 ((I thought this might come in handy. Suggestion for IC play:- Concerns about young dragon. Washing, oiling troublesome dragonet.Threads that emphasis the strength and needs of the young dragon. Please note, interaction with the general Weyr will be limited. The newly Impressed pair will be required to stay within visual range of each other at the outside at all times for at least this month. Possible IC material in over-eating or preventing over eating. Many of the lectures will involve people coming to them and food will be brought to them rather than them leaving their life mate for the first couple of sevendays. Bear this in mind when RP-ing. )) |

Hasima couldn't help it, but when she heard all the things she was supposed to remember, her mouth dropped a bit. There were so many things! Was it even possible to remember them all? You'd need to have a photographic memory, that was for sure. She could hear Rimith laugh at the fact the girl looked dumb founded at the moment after Rhia was done speaking. You should close your mouth now Hasima. People will stare The small yellow said, rubbing herself against Hasima's leg.
As Wolf almost fell into the Hasima, Rimith moved out the way, careful not to be tripped on. Hasima looked startled as Wolf appeared, stumbling into her but regained composure after a moment and smiled lightly at Wolf, her shyness taking over her actions. She also gave a weak wave to R'xis as he too appeared but a moment later. Yes, I agree. It is nice to see everyone again Rimith said politely, agreeing with the female brown.
During this time Hasima was silent, trying to remember everything Rhia had just said silently before giving up with a sigh of resignation. It was much too hard. She was definitely glad that the woman would be posting what she had just said, up.

Rhia took a deep breath. "Ok, any questions before I start your first lesson?" She waited a few moments before speaking again, grey eyes scanning the crowd to see if there were any questions.
"All right then. I will begin. If there is any question at any time feel free to stop me. Raise your hand. If your dragon has a question, the same procedure applies although they can ask Mneith as well. He is here to teach you just as I am so listen to him all of you."
"The first thing we will do is get these little ones fed. The drudges can't always be hacking up meat for hungry dragonets so the first chore of the day will be to feed your dragonets. Then you will have your own breakfast. That is just the schedule for today. After today you will start to follow the schedule I mentioned. You will be woken by me and Mneith and take your own breakfast and then it will be time to wake and feed your dragons if they are not already awake by then."
Rhia turned to where the drudges had hung carcasses of heardbeasts. "The older dragons and the drudges will kill the beasts for you, but you will have to skin and chop the meat up for your dragons yourselves. I will show you how to do it and then you will be paired off with a partner. Two to a beast. You will be expected to remember your partner's name and where they are from. This will help you bond with your fellow Weyrlings. Part of your lesson today will be getting to know each other. Your partner will change every day and eventually you will be expected to know the name of each Weyrling and their dragon and be able to recognize them by sight and sound. This will be very important during Threadfall. A wing has to be able to trust its members to survive during Threadfall. This will be your training on how to interact with a wing."
" A wing is a family. Right now, you are the Weyrling wing, so you are family. I am your wingleader. If I had an assistant, he or she would be my Wingsecond but since I don't I will chose a wingsecond from you guys. I will change wingseconds every sevenday so that each of you will get a chance. I will choose from the one who shows the most progress. Remember though, the class does not move forward until everyone has learned the skill. I will be quizzing you on my lectures every morning so make sure you pay attention."
Rhia chuckled. "Sorry younglings, I didn't mean to make another speech. I guess we are all in for a lot of them." She grabbed a knife. "This is how you will skin the beasts." She demonstrated how to skin the heardbeasts and then how to chop the meat up. The meat went into a bucket. "You want the chunks to be small enough so that the dragons don't choke but big enough to make them chew. This will help build up their jaw strength for when they need to chew firestone. If a dragonet bites its tongue come to me so we can tend it. Basic first aid will be part of the lesson plan for the next couple of sevendays."
She pulled out a piece of hide. "I have a chart set up saying who will be paired for the next sevenday ((I will post this when I get a chance to compile it.)) Listen up and if you don't hear me wait until I am done to ask who you are paired with. Remember, you are to know who your partner is, who their dragon is, where they are from, and one interesting fact about them. Then we will play a game to get to know each other better."
K'nest of blue Temesth and Jessalyn of copper Aylith
T'vril of bronze Mekinoth and L'von of green Zalith
Hali/Kalor of green Orylith and R'xis of female brown Ersith
J'kel of blue Jorath and Anassa of green Priath
Hasima of yellow Rimith and V'koran of brown Verith
P'rin of bronze Kilzanth and Wolf of gold Serinth
Sorcha of moolightstreak Lirlith will be with me
Rifenjesk of green Sulith P'an of brown Drath
"Any questions? Then get to work younglings." ((ask questions if you want...just because i continue with a lesson doesnt mean that Rhia wont answer questions...))

K'nest frowned for a few long moments. So many words ... and just because the blue impressed him. He glanced down at the blue and patted its' head briefly before trying to pay attention to the fountain of words that seemed to spring from this woman's mouth. He'd definately need to find those papers with the lists. Later, apparently it was time for food. He looked around dubiously before deciding to just move to a herdbeast thing and hope his partner knew him.

P'rin looked around, searching for Wolf. He knew who she was mostly because she was the one that the surprise Queen had Impressed to. He took a deep breath and walked over to where she stood. Kilzanth followed, holding his bronze head up regally even though he looked rather ungainly with his awkward dragonet body. P'rin ran a hand through his blue-black hair and smiled.
"I guess we are partners for this lesson." He said, his voice low. He bowed slightly, his pale blue eyes twinkling at some inner amusement. "Master Tanner P'rin of bronze Kilzanth. My regards to you and your Queen." His voice was warm but his words were formal. "I do believe our dragons are hungry. Shall we begin?"
Kilzanth spread his jewel-speckled wings and then resettled them against his back. Good day to you my clutch-sister. Kilzanth was as formal as his rider as he held his reddish-orange bronze head high. The near-black tip of his tail was curled around his body as he sat and waited with barely veiled impatience for his rider to feed him.

Hasima's eyebrows slanted slightly with confusion. She had understood that they were being paired up, that they were supposed to learn more about each other. Yes, she had gotten all that. Except...there was a tiny problem. She didn't know the boy that she had been paired up. Which wasn't a big deal, they were supposed to get to know them after all. The problem was that there was three browns in the room, and she only knew Ersith. That left two possibilities, which one was V'koran though?
She bit her lip, concentrating on the two browns, hoping that if she stared long enough their name would suddenly pop up in front of her. But, of course, nothing like that happened. She would have to call out his name and hoped he heard her. The girl was too shy though, she couldn't bring herself to shout out a strangers name. Rimith shifted slightly, crooning softly. There may be more than one brown, but there is only one yellow in the room. He might come find you. Hasima looked down at Rimith and smiled softly, glad that the yellow was with her.

V'koran listened carefully as Weyrlingmaster Rhia read out the pairs. He was paired with a Hasima, of Yellow Rimith. That's easy enough, he thought, as there was just one yellow dragon. He looked around a bit, but it was Verith who spotted her.
Over there, he said, pointing with his nose and starting over to them. V'koran followed close behind. When he came up to her, he bowed.
"Good day Hasima, and yellow Rimith. I am V'koran, and this is Verith." The brown attempted a bow but didn't quite pul it off as gracefully as his rider did. Good day, clutch-sister, he said to Rimith.

As Hasima heard the voice, she turned to it and noticed that he had a brown. Perhaps this was V'koran? The boy opened his mouth, introducing him and his dragon and relief showed on her face. Her body relaxed slightly, no longer stiff. Sub-conciously she realized it was silly of her to think that she wouldn't be able to find who she was paired with.
She bowed also to the boy, long hair creating a small veil around her face as she did so. She straightened and let out a small smile, and said in a tiny, whispered voice, "Good day to you too.". She guessed that she didn't need to introduce herself to him, considering he had just said both her and Rimith's name. Rimith bowed her head slightly to the rider and his brown. Greetings clutch-brother Rimith said happily, and politely.
Hasima shifted slightly, looking at the spot where Rhia had just demonstrated what they should do. She tucked her hair behind her ears and turned to V'koran. "Should we start?" She asked softly, slightly worried that instead of cutting up what she was supposed too, she would accidently chop up her hand.
