Description: Aletta and Figol attend the hatching feast together.
Location: Dolphin Cove Weyr
Date: month 13, day 14 of Turn 3

Figol couldn't help but tap his foot to the music playing in the background as he finished his meal. "This food is amazing. I think there's more here than at Turn's End!"

"That's a hatching for you." Aletta smiled. Tavia had disappeared with a dance partner earlier and she was glad to have Figol to herself.

Normally he could watch her smile all day, but at that moment his eyes were drawn to the trays of desserts being brought in by the kitchen drudges. Usually he was lucky to get one of whatever they served to the apprentice tables, but here it looked like you could _pick_ which dessert you wanted! He watched as several dragonriders looked over the selection and picked two or three for their plates. "Can we have however many we want?" he asked, jumping up in his excitement.

"We can. but I was hoping for a dance or two before you raid the sweets."

As much as he wanted the yummy treats, the prospect of getting to hold Aletta in a dance was far more enticing. "Oh, yeah, definitely, sorry.
I'm actually a pretty decent dancer."

"I though playing music was the focus of a class or two for harpers, not dancing." she laughed.

"Harper's are trained in my things, my dear." He said with a wink. He stood up and offered his hand to the greenrider.

"Think you can keep up with me huh?" she teased as the song moved into a fast pace.

He wasn't _that_ sure of his capabilities since he didn't often get the chance to dance with a partner, but still... he was a harper and he had a reputation to uphold. "I think the real question is can you keep up with me?" He challenged her with a wicked grin.

"Lets find out!"

So they danced. Three fast dances in a row, to which Figol felt he held up admirably well. As the third dance ended and the start of a slower one began, he eyed his partner, "Are you up for another one or do you want to sit down?"

"Lets dance this one, then we can take a break." Aletta was, for once, disinclined to argue but wanted Figol to herself for a least another song.

Figol grinned a rather goofy grin before pulling her closer. He remembered when they had first met they had been equal in height, but now she had to look up at him, and that pleased him to no end. He inhaled her sweet sweaty aroma as he looked down into her shining eyes, and grinned again despite himself. He just couldn't remember when he had been so happy!

The smile on his face was too much of a temptation. Reaching up, for a moment surprised at needing to do so, Aletta pulled him toward her for a kiss.

Figol was surprised, but leaned into the kiss and held her tight. He forgot all about the dancing as the kiss lengthened and all his focus was put into relishing her sweet lips. He finally broke the kiss, looking again into her eyes before cupping her face with one hand. He brushed her cheek with his thumb unsure of what to do next, finally saying the only thing that came to mind. "You're beautiful you know that?"

Delight made her eyes brighten. She smiled, "Not really but if you say so I guess must be true."

"Then I say so." He kissed her quickly one more time before removing his hand, then escorted her off the dance floor.

"I heard the hall is doing something special for turns end, do you have any idea what?" she asked, hoping he knew more that she did.

He shrugged, as he suddenly caught sight of a girl placing a rather large tray of hot bubbly pies on the end table. "It depends on where the performance is, you mean here at the Weyr?"

"I heard something about the dolphin hall but I thought they where going to join us in the weyr." Catching his line of sight she smiled.
"I wonder what filling they have tonight."

He looked back at her and grabbed her hand with a grin. "Yes and No.
I'll fill you in later. First, lets get some of those pies!" he added pulling her along as he followed his nose.
