Description: Kedvencth and Elleth chat and the gold makes a suggestion.
Location: Dolphin Cove Weyr
Date: month 2, day 21 of Turn 6
N'mor visited the stables every time he had time to spare. He had been
beastcrafter apprentice before Impressing, and sometimes he missed those
days. Things just seemed so much simpler back then. He had been Searched
just when he was starting to get success as jockey, so runner beasts
were his absolute favourites.
This runner stallion was new to Weyr's stable. The smell of dragons,
large predator, made him nervous. Unfortunately in Weyr, that smell was
impossible to escape. N'mor stroked his muzzle, talking with soft,
crooning voice.
}: Tell him that I won't eat him, he's someone's pet, :{ Kedvencth said,
watching them from distance.
** I'm trying to ** N'mor replied.
}: Don't you speak runner-language? :{ The bronze asked curiously. He
seemed to think that all beasts were as sapient as dragons.
** Not very well,** N'mor replied, laughing out aloud.
}:Your rider is visiting the runners?:{ A gentle voice asked as the
gold settled next to the bronze. }:My rider visits them as well
sometimes.:{ The tip of Elleth's tail twitched back and forth, her
whirling eyes focusing on the stables, though only briefly. There was
an image of her rider, the girl set about on crutches that she passed
on to Kedvencth.
}: Why does she have those sticks? :{ Ked had never seen anyone with
crutches before.
}:They are called crutches. She was hit by Thread and injured. They
are helping her to walk until she heels.:{ The pain was still too much
for Meledei to walk on her own and Elleth was glad they had something
that helped her. }:She will be better soon.:{
Kedvencth was about to reply that they had never been hit by Thread
when he stopped to hesitate. Had they? He had a faint memory of N'mor
going around with a bandage around his arm.
}: Have we ever been hit by Thread? :{ he had to check out from his
lifemate, he was his memory.
** You haven't, I have. I still have a scar in my upper arm,** N'mor
replied.
}: My rider has Thread scar too, :{ the young bronze told the even
younger gold.
}:She'll have a scar too.:{ Elleth didn't seem worried about that - for
her rider wasn't. Meledei had grown up in the Weyr and everyone knew
that scars were just a part of fighting Threadfall. **On her hip and
leg.**
}: They all seem to have scars, :{ Ked observed.
}:All of them?:{ There was a pause as Elleth rummaged around through
thoughts and searched her own lifemate's memory. }:Not all.
Many.:{ She stated finally. }:My rider knows yours.:{ She added
after a moment.
}: Yes, :{ the bronze agreed to that. }: Mine was training yours... I
think, :{ dwelling on a past wasn't his strongest skill.
There was another pause as Elleth tried to shift through her rider's
memories. }:She does not remember anything of that sort, but they
stood together when you hatched.:{ The gold made a sound that could be
compared to a feline's purr. }:Yours should visit my rider. She likes
company.:{
}: I'll tell him, :{ Ked promised and relayed Elleth's suggestion to
N'mor.
**What an excellent idea. I shall do just so, ** N'mor replied when he
heard the bronzes suggestion.
