Characters: E'rae, An'dr
Description: Leith and Pluserth have a chat while sitting by the water.
Location: River Bluff Weyr
Date: month 9, day 14 of Turn 5
Leith had just finished a herdbeast. With a full stomach, the
blue wondered if he would slink off to his weyr or if he might sun
on the rim. }:I could float in the water:{ His head swiveled and he
saw how clear the water was. There were a few other dragons
about. Wandering in that direction, he saw a younger blue. }:Good day, young one:{
E'rae could feel Leith's full stomach and it made him a little sleepy.
Focusing more on what he was doing, he went back to the
charts he was studying. They had fall soon.
}:And to you,:{ came a courteous response. An'dr looked up to see just who
his blue was talking to, spotting another blue.
}:I had good meat today:{ Leith shared, knowing that all dragons
could appreciate a good meal.
}:From a young herdbeast?:{
}:Yes, it was not an easy catch:{ Leith was used to hunting more than
most dragons since his rider took him to the jungle quite often for
game.
}:In our feeding pens?:{ There was a note of curiosity in Pluserth's voice,
but like most young dragons, food was something that was remembered.
}:This time it was:{ The wild herds were usually more stringy.
}:You could show me one like it sometime?:{ queried the younger blue.
}:Maybe. Does your rider ever take you hunting somewhere else?:{ Leith
happily sat in the cool water, his blue hide blending in with the ripples.
}:Sometimes,:{ admitted Pluserth. }:When our duties allow us.:{
}:You could go with us. Tell your rider:{ Dipping his head underwater, the
blue lost sight of everything else before he came back up.
}:Maybe I will,:{ it was a thought, but one that he shared with Leith.
}:Were you hatched here?:{ It seemed the blue was in the conversational
mood, which was more often than not in his case.
}:I was. I chose my rider from the stands. He was special.:{
}:That's nice. Mine came to my egg and got me.:{ Leith was pretty sure that
E'rae might have cut the egg open himself if he had asked. Of course the
blue did well enough on his own.
}:He knew he was for me, he had to convince the others though,:{ An'dr had
told Pluserth the story often enough, leaving out the bit about bursting
into tears trying to get to him.
}:What others?:{ Leith didn't remember any others on his Hatching day. Of
course the blue didn't remember much. He used E'rae's memory more often than not.
}:Other riders, or so my rider says.:{
Leith accepted that willingly and was quiet for a time while he enjoyed the
water. }:I wonder if any pretty greens are flying today:{
}:My rider says pretty greens often have pretty girl riders,:{ commented
Pluserth, }:That's what he likes.:{
}:Mine likes any green. I'm the one that wants them pretty:{ Leith mentally
chuckled.
Pluserth chuckled also. }:I think my An'dr wants to go.:{
}:Good day to you then. See you some other time:{ Leith told him jovially.
}:Another time.:{
