Seven Spindles High
The first errant breeze of freedom! Lyria could not get outside fast enough after the day's lessons, emerging in a blur of cloth and black hair to soak up the sun. Okay - that was enough. Smirking to herself at the internal jest made of her own fair skin, she stopped in the middle of the bowl, shielding her eyes with a hand to gaze up at the craggy points jutting along the northern rim of the Weyr. A body of sapphire hues emerged from beyond them, winging up into the air on a warm current of springtime that the candidate envied to her toes. How pleasant it must be up there! Despite the relatively mild temperature, she brought her arms akimbo over her bosom to crowd her body heat to herself. None of her jovial delight was lost, however - she spun on her heels, glad to be rid of the tedium of repeated material, and made her way unerringly for her usual spot.
The 'usual spot' in question happened to be a portion of rock carved out of the bowl like a balled melon, a scoop perfectly sized for one of her stature to lean back in and reflect on a day's happenings. That is precisely what she did too, dropping her weight onto the stone to settle back in a recline atop a bent arm. One leg dangled off the edge of her little couch, foot swinging an idle pendulum as she watched the clouds past the upper lip of that cubby, smiling widely as a Dragon's wings carved a visible pattern into one of them that quickly reformed once the beast had passed through. It was a nice day.
