Welcome to Gaia! ::

Weyrling barrack weyr #2 had recently become home to the newly bonded pair of C'rci and Bolth along with Az'rin and Qizixth. The new much larger space a rather shocking transition for the former Wherhandler apprentice from the cramped quarters of the candidate barracks. As a matter of fact compared to the little space she'd made her own back there this new weyr seemed rather cavernous and empty.

A croon of affection and a steel blue head bumping against her leg quickly interrupted C'rci's thoughts as she looked down to smile at Bolth. Well with her dragon, her dragon she loved the sound of that. Well with her dragon the weyr would likely get more and more cramped as the blue grew.

Do not worry Mine we will do well here. I am home as long as I have you. Bolth murmured lovingly in her mind his eyes whirling a rainbow of blue and green. When C'rci had first heard how much dragons and riders spoke to each other silently she'd wondered if it wouldn't be strange having another being in your mind. Someone who knew every facet of who you are both good and bad and saw every thought that flickered through your head. Yet the more she had thought on it the more she'd longed to be so intimately tied.

And now that she had impressed the girl couldn't imagine a second of her life without the gentle, kind, loving, diplomatic blue in it. Reaching down she ran a gentle hand over Bolth's head ridges grinning at her lifemate. Someone had left her things by the door, she wasn't sure who or when, but they were there in a pile waiting for her to move about placing them. The shelves were already lined with Weyrling supplies like pots of oil and rags even a few little things of numbweed and bandages for scratches and other minor wounds.

"Come on love let's get settled in and clean up while we wait for our barrack mate." C'rci replied bending to scoop up her bags and moving to the right bunk. Dumping her things there on her bed she moved to grab a broom that had been leaning near the doorway and began sweeping out what would be Bolth's wallow. Once she'd finished that then and only then was she going to begin putting her things away.

I'm helping Mine! Mine what's this? Ooo! this is neat! What is it Mine? Where'd the lights go? Came Bolth's chatter as C'rci spun her dragons curious calls and keen of confusion alerting her. Only to turn to see her things scattered about the bed, the blue having hopped onto the bunk to try and help his rider tidy up and Bolth himself with his head stuck in her rucksack.

C'rci blinked a second torn between worry and laughter though worry won out in the end when Bolth let out another pathetic keening call for help. Rushing to his side she untangled the rucksack pull strings from around his sensitive head knobs and pulled the bag off him chuckling as she did so.

Mine! There you are! I was so scared! Bolth exclaimed all, but pouncing into his riders arms and knocking his head against her chest. Breaking down into fits of laughter C'rci simply shook her head reaching up to rub her fingers over Bolth's sensitive head knobs to ease the spots the strings had pinched them as her blue crooning appreciatively.

There there Bolth. I'm here, settle down now. You have quite the habit of getting into trouble. She thought to him offering a gentle smile when Bolth wavered thinking her disappointed in him. Bending she pressed a affectionate little kiss to his forehead and then with one last pat she lowered his clawed feet from where they were digging into her shoulders and settled him back onto the bed. I wouldn't have you any other way though.

When Az'rin stepped inside he was greeted with an interesting sight. There standing on her tip toes was a petite woman with a mass of wild flaming red hair, her skin pale with a very light beginnings of a tan. Her back was currently turned to him as she slid a few very precious scrolls and her journal up onto a shelf. The majority of her possessions, what little she had that he could see had already been neatly put away. Sitting curled up quite comfortably on the girl's bed and watching them with rapt interest was an average sized steely blue dragon with ragged darkened stripes riddling the hatchlings hide.

At Az'rin's rather timid greeting the blue lifted his head a warbled a warm reply at them.

Mine. They have arrived. The blue informed her slinking rather carefully off the bed. His memories of getting rocked and falling this way and that from his time in the egg still very fresh.

"Yes thank you Bolth. I can hear them." C'rci replied smiling lovingly at the blue as she turned, first checking that the hatchling was able to slip from her bed without trouble before looking to Az'rin. It was clear she was speaking aloud more for his benefit then her own.

"Hello. I'm C'rci~" And before the girl could even finish her sentence now safely down from his napping place Bolth all, but galloped up to his green blue brother nearly crashing into him in his excitement to greet the new pair.

Hello brother. Is this yours? He looks very nice. Mine's cleaned out our new home, she even sweeped out the wallows for us. She says we're supposed to sleep in the wallows, but I like to curl up with Mine instead. Bolth spoke to Qizixth prancing happily around his larger brother trilling and crooning at him as his rider chuckled.

"As I was saying I'm C'rci and the blue is my lifepartner Bolth. Don't worry he's friendly." She continued stepping up to Az'rin to offer a hand holding herself with a calm and staunch confidence that belayed strength even though the girls height put her surprisingly below Az'rin himself in hand lengths.

Only a very good sense of self control and the somber thought that she'd beat the crap out of anyone who laughed at her dragon kept her from doubling over in fits at the sight before her. Bolth in all his terrifying cuddliness had galloped over to them causing the other rider to squeak and squeal like a holder girl at the sight of a tunnelsnake while his dragon when front flat to the ground with his tail sticking up in the air. On the other hand she felt a good deal better about Bolth's sensitive more passive personality when placed next to his green blue sibling.

Bolth on the other hand was still happily prancing about the pair playfully and when he saw his brothers new position he too dropped into it mimicking Qizixth's position perfectly. Why are you apologizing Qizixth brother? Is this a new game? Attack? Is that the name of the game? Mine has games too. Mine is very nice, very brave. And Bolth crooned happily at this, his confidence in his choice of rider absolute.

Qizixth brother? And Bolth cocked his head up to eye Az'rin at this, his playful tone dropping to the more intellectual one of curiosity. Why is yours changing such an odd color?

Seeing the older boy drop his head C'rci frowned slightly unsure what she had done until her sharp eyes spotted the heavy blush across Az'rin's face. Was he shy? Scared of her? I mean she could understand his reaction to Bolth even if it was a little insulting. After all the blue was rather fearsome looking despite his gentle personality. Then the boy seemed to draw himself up somewhat and speak, slowly, but with less of a stutter this time.

"Hello Az'rin. It's good to meet both you and Qizixth. Neither Bolth nor I bite so you can stop your shaking. So long as you don't try to hurt us we'll be nothing, but friendly towards you two. Left side is all yours. It's been sweeped and dusted so it's ready for you to unpack." C'rci replied, blunt and too the point as she gripped his hand in a firm shake her hazel gold eyes catching his as she offered him a welcoming grin.

"Also if Qizixth wants to spread out a little more he can. I can't keep Bolth out of my bed so until he's too big to fit under the covers yours is welcome to take his pick of either wallow. I'm gonna warn you he's very friendly and very curious so if you don't want him getting into something then for now put it up on a shelf out of his reach." She warned turnign to chirp and click in wher speech to her hatchingling smiling when Bolth chirped back complete amused at his riders odd assortment of noises.

They seem very nice Mine. Can we keep them? The blue asked cocking his head to look pleadingly up at his rider who simply chuckled.

They're not flits Bolth we can't 'keep' them, but yes they're going to stay. She replied bending to caress her dragons head as he trotted back to her rubbing against her side happily.

Scary indeed. Bolth heartily agreed tilting his little head to look at his brother. Had his really stood up to his angry green sister? Then no wonder she was so disapproving of his choice! At finding the source of his siblings anger over his rider Bolth all, but grinned and hummed happily. Well that only served to him to show that he'd picked his well. Now he would simply have to see if he could talk Firinth around and then maybe he could ease his sisters dislike. After all there was no reason for conflict.

I'm not going to attack you Qizixth brother. Bolth assured his brother cheerfully and from where he sat next to his in front of the other pair he reached out to gently nudge his blue green sibling playfully.

Embarrassed? I wonder what embarrassed is? Well whatever it is it seems to make yours look very pretty. See! Mine is even being friendly with yours. She thinks he's funny. Bolth crooned nudging his riders leg as she reached down to instinctively scratch and itch he had on his head nob. It was so hard to tell what itch was hers and what was his. What hunger was hers and what was. . .then Bolth's stomach rumbled. Nope, that one was definitely Bolth.

C'rci was still somewhat confused by how shy the boy was, coming from a more rough and tumble craft where she'd been simply treated as one of the guys. "It's fine. Doesn't cause any harm so don't worry about it." She assured him with a slightly gentler grin before it shifted to a worried frown at hearing Bolth's stomach rumble.

"Yes well so long as you two don't try to climb in with me and Bolth afterwards too often I think we'll be fine. My bed can barely fit one dragonet as it is." She replied with an amused chuckle. "I'd better take him down to the kitchens and get some meat cut up for him. Would you like to come as well? I'll help you unpack once we get back if you like to save you time." She offered as Bolth trotted forward towards the door, but stopped just an arms length from his rider not wishing to go much farther and stared at her pleadingly his eyes whirling red with hunger as he creeled piteously.

Mine? Mine? It hurts! The blue replied no longer distracted from his hunger pains and instead was left to shift on his feet awkwardly before his rider moved to follow.

Coming Bolth. C'rci responded her eyes distant now, her attention clearly having shifted completely to her dragon's needs.
