Nestren opened his eyes and fell over when Zareth bugled at him. Looking up at Nico, he had a blushed look on his face. Looking at where Kirana was chuckling at him, the boy had a hopefull gleam on his face. "Does that mean he likes me? Can I join the others?"
He stood up slowly and held his hand out to Zareth. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to close my eyes...I am just really excited. You remind me of the dragon that landed in my hold once. He is the reason why I came to Rias."
He rambled at the candidate master and at the dragon. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hold things up!"

Remia watched with alternating excitement and disappointment for those who were either chosen or found unsuitable. When the larger portion of the hopefuls had been sent off, she smiled at the ones who remained welcomingly.
Then she turned her attention to the Candidate Master, worrying her lower lip gently between her teeth. What would come next?
She shifted her weight, and by chance, her hand bumped Orana's who was next to her. She took a chance and gently took hold of it, finding comfort in familiarity. She looked over with an excited smile to see Orana's reaction and correct herself if necessary.
They were really doing this! They were going to have a chance to Impress!

Airinna wandered around the halls, searching for the Weyr Bowl. "Shards, where is that drated Bowl? I need to get there fast! I must be ages late now!" She quickened her step now, for she felt she was near.
"Ah, Canidatemaster!" She said, arriving finnaly. "I'm so sorry that I'm late! Please forgive me." She bowed her head, then went to stand with the others. "I hope this doesn't make me unelligeble for a dragon." She muttered.

Xilias chuckled at the thought of crawlers on Zareth. He was certain the blue would far from enjoy that. Steel eyes glanced over the ranks of candidates that has assembled. Well, at least there would be enough candidates for the eggs, his sister Ephia would be much pleased with that, but there were only a mere 41 candidates. Surely a few more would be better. The thought of a young dragonling going between because it couldn't find a lifemate was heartshattering and Xilias didn't want to experience something like that first hand.
Sighing he turned his attention back to Nico and Zareth, ready for the lesson to come.

Orana looked down to her hand as Remia grabbed it, She smiled back to her friend squeasing Remia's hand for her own comfort. Orana smiled at Remia and watched as some Hopefuls where found unstutable. She waited beside Remia watching the hopefulls. They where acctuallu Doing this, They would have a chance to impress! Orana thought to herself excitedly. She couldnt wait to Touch the eggs. Her Worry tuned to excitement as thought of the goodthings to come.
Orana shifted her wieght to her right foot and continued watching. The Blue was beautiful and amazingly impressive. This was the closest she had been to a dragon for awhile now. 'Nervous?" she asked Remia quietly looking skyward then back down to her friend's face.

Kirana laughed a bit as Verde and Azure winked back between to their room at her request. She was a little surprised at actually being allowed to participate. Wait...that means...she was standing. Kirana got a little weaklegged, her hand finding Nestren's before she could actually fall over.
Slowly, she turned to him and smiled a bit, "Looks like we're both in it now," She whispered, chuckling softly.

Curiousity aroused by the sound of a dragon's bugle was what brought Karael down to the feeding grounds. She was due to return to the hold soon, and that did not bother her in the least. Still, while she was in the weyr, she could at least take a quick look at the famed dragons. The closest she'd ever seen one was at a Search, Turns before, and that was from a great distance. To see one up close.... well... that would be quite exciting.
Thus, when she heard a dragon bugle rather loudly, she headed for the source of the noise. It wasn't hard to find the dragon, a blue. It was at the feeding grounds, surrounded by people, innumerable amounts of people. Karael grimaced silently and smoothly edged around the group. She gave the herdbeasts an almost sympathetic look, watching them with a practiced and rather critical eye. They were of good stock or seemed to be as far as she could tell.
Despite her interest in the beasts, though, her gaze kept straying back to the dragon. It was a large creature to her. She knew that they could grow much, much bigger, but this dragon was large enough for her. How a human could ever hope to bond with a creature as large-- and potentially dangerous-- as that was far beyond her comprehension. Still, they were rather nice to look at.

Xilias looked around and shrugged before striding towards the blue. He was much smaller in comparison to his sister's great queen Ariath, but being in such proximity to a dragon was thrilling none-the-less.
Stopping infront of the blue Xilias smiled brightly and bowed his head to the dragon. "If you wish, I'd be more than happy to give you a bit of affection. A scratching on the eyeridge wouldn't be a bother." Xilias grinned broadly, waiting to see if Zareth wished to have the offered attention.

"Ready" She muttered to Remia. Orana stepped near toward the large blue Dragon. Orana let go of Remia's hand and walked toward the Dragon. She was nervous but not afraid. This dragon was much smaller than the Golden Queen but still impressive and beautiful. "Zareth," Orana said continuing her walk near to the large blue, she was dwarfed by his size "May I have the honnor of touching you?" she asked looking upward to the Dragon.
Orana continued to stand tall and unafraid, she was still in awe of this great beast even though she had spent quite a few turns with them already... They still amazed her and Orana hoped she would impress desprately.

Nestren held tight onto Kirana's arm as she went pale. He tugged her up slowly to Zareth with him by her side. Looking the dragon square in the eye, he bowed ever so slightly. "Do not worry, Zareth. I will not ever put crawlers on you. I am a cook, so I spend more time feeding your rider than I do playing."
He let go of Kirana's hand and held out his own. "Hopefully, I do not stink of spices and fire too much. I try to keep clean."

Lemurrin hid a smile and approached the blue. Bowing respectively, he extended a tendril of thought. Blue Zareth, I am Journeyman Harper Lemurrin. Standing next to Xilias, he offered a hand to be sniffed and moved to scratch the blue's eyeridges. "It is an honor," he said aloud.

Janista heard the dragon bugle and ran toward the source of the noise, her blue firelizard Del flying ahead of her. "I'm gonna beat you!" she shouted, but the blue disappeared between and arrived near the crowd of dragonrider hopefuls.
"No fair!" Janista pouted, "You cheated!" But her anger abated as she caught sight of the blue stepping toward her. As he planted himself in the middle of the crowd, Del quickly disappeared again to some unknown, safe location. Janista listened patiently for once as she heard the dragonrider speak, and afterwards joined the crowd approaching the dragon. She knew that blues were supposed to be the smallest of dragons, but he still seemed like a giant to her.
"E-excuse me, Mr. Zareth...m-may I t-touch you?" she asked, losing her normally loud and semi-obnoxious tone for one of respectful fear and awe.

((Gah... r/l sucked me away... I'm glad I didn't miss too much. ^_^ ))
Remia smiled as she felt Orana squeeze her hand, and answered in a whisper, "A little, but I'm more excited!"
She thought about getting to approach the eggs on the Sands, and to actually touch them! It would be a humbling experience, to her mind.
She listened as Nico explained that they were to approach Zareth, to become used to dragons, and then she was hopping out of the dragon's way so he could stand within their circle. Orana went up to ask him, along with several others, but Remia held back, not wanting to seem too pushy.
But being wishy-washy is no way to be, either. Get out there!" she scolded herself, and moved forward, curtseying before asking, "Excuse me, Blue Zareth?"
She paused, not sure if he would remember her. "My name is Remia, and it is an honor to see you again." She patiently held out a hand for his inspection. Once he had accepted her, she would give his shoulder a hearty scratch, liking the feel of soft dragon skin beneath her fingers.
She breathed in deeply, taking in the spicy scent of dragon mingling with that of firestone and oil as she closed her eyes and thought of what her future would be, if she impressed.
