OrlinaOrlina didn't often think of her height as being a detriment to her, but she was doing so now. Cursed shortness! Even so, Orlina did her best to pick out where Zarike's voice was coming from, and began pushing her way through the crowd with apologies left and right. "Zarike! Zar-- Oh!" Orlina grabbed onto Zarike's arms for balance as they ran into one another in their pushing through the crowd. Her lips split into a bright, wide grin. "There you are! I've been looking everywhere! I thought for certain you would get food first, but I see you've already been busy spending marks!" Orlina took a moment to look over what he had in his hands and then met his eyes again, her own sparkling. "Nice haul! Did you play all of the games? What do they have? Can we go back so I can spend some of my marks, too? I don't want to miss out before the end of the Gather!" CetaleseCeta's eyes darted to D'lin as he ordered and she found him already staring back, assessing her startled expression. She said nothing for a long moment, even after her expression had smoothed into something more usual, and then she smiled faintly and looked back to the vintners. "If you could get a bottle of your fine wine as well, while you're back there, I would appreciate it." She listened to Plexith's suggestion with one ear as she watched the vintners retrieve the suggested items. That was sweet of him. "Your duties likely keep you busy, but if you ever wanted to pick up a hobby, I'm sure you could find room to produce wine around the Weyr," Cetalese added, rejoining the conversation. "If the weather isn't entirely conducive to growing the usual grapes, perhaps there's a way to make a fermented product from redfruit. Southern certainly has enough of it."

Tanya - Game Corner"I'll take the cups with the green swirls on them, thank you," Tanya said, beaming at the man. Once the cups were packaged and she had her arms full of her winnings-- something which made her almost glow with pleasure-- she popped open her parasol and perched it on one shoulder. With it protecting her from the sun, she followed M'lan to the contest of strength and applauded as best she could with full hands when he struck the machine. His muffled curses earned him a concerned look. "I don't think it was that bad, M'lan. Better than I can do, certainly." She beamed at him. "I've never been much for strength. Did you want to try again, or did you want to go and get some wine or food?" She wasn't going to be able to carry all of those prizes for long without dropping something. The last thing she wanted was to break the cups or dirty her stuffed firelizard. Riarna - PC Weavers Stall
Earned this Gather: 3 3/4 marksRiarna smiled politely at the rider as she finished purchasing something from Kaylen and then turned to the other Weaver. Since their stall was clear of all customers, but for the Greenrider who hadn't quite left, Riarna took the opportunity to at least give the appearance of being sociable. She owed the woman that much for sharing her space with Riarna. "Not too bad a Gather day. Is this your first time setting up a stall?"

Kaylen - PC Weavers Stall - 3 3/4 Marks Current Marks: 1, 3/8, 1/16 Marks She blushed alittle, "Is it obvious?" She asked as she ran a hand down the side of her face. "I've only ever just made clothes for the weyr. And it's so rare to have Gathers nowadays. With this war going on." She smiled softly. "But I am having fun and I'm quite surprised that I've made this much." Giggling alittle, she turned and leaned against the side of the counter. "Have you done this much before? Setting up a stall and selling?"

M'lan smiled widely at Tanya, she looked just lovely with her parasol over her shoulder, he blushed at the thought and glanced away "I could get Zing and Snow to take something back to your bunk if you like?" he asked, knowing that the brown and the Bronze got along well and were good at co-operating. "Then would can go grab some wine and then take it and get some food?" he asked her in return, his stomach rumbling a little at the mention of food which made him blush again, embarrassed. "Though.... i think you'd better not let them take your stuffed firelizard, if Mal got wind of it she'd shred it" he added, grinning.

Kindra smiled at Riarna when the woman wrapped the scarves, Kindra guessed this was Kaylen's first time running a gather stall, it was good she had Riarna to help her, she'd be better next time. "It's quite alright Kaylen" she told the woman with an almost warm smile as she took her goods, then allowed herself to be pulled away from the stall, she really didn't want an arguement and was glad N'mol was there, his steady presence steadied her temper. She did blink at N'mol's murmuring in her ear and the soft kiss then she gave a small smirking smile, "Is that a promise N'mol?" she said, the smirk turning into an almost shy grin, despite her being anything but shy, her stomach feeling like like it was twisting up on itself in a good way when he looked at her like that. It made her feel like giggling like a silly teen, though she didn't but her smile said it all. "Shall we go see more stalls or get food and drinks?" she asked him "or should we just return to the Weyr while everyone else is busy" her tone lightly suggestive though she could do with eating soon... ish.

Tanya
"Oh, she wouldn't," Tanya protested, shaking her head. "As long as you don't have the stuffed firelizard, I'm sure Mal will be just fine. I'm not certain what else the boys can take, so... I think I'll be all right. Thank you. Food would be wonderful, though. If we don't get a skin or bottle of wine, we should get food first, so that one of us can find a place to settle in and the other can go get the wine poured into our cups."
Tanya looked around. She hadn't gone through the shops yet, but she assumed that if there was a vintner's stall, it would be in there.
"I know where the food tables are, if you don't mind being the one to fill up the plates for us."

M'lan
M'lan guessed Tanya wanted to look around a bit more before settling for food, he HAD kind of taken over what they were doing so far "How about we check out some of the stalls?" he asked her "anything that takes your fancy to go looking?" he smiled, he liked when she was happy, true winning the stuffed firelizard and the cups and parasol had made her happy but at the same time, he'd monopolised her, he knew he had a problem with controlling people and he DID try not to. "We can always send Asoth Between with some things if there's too much to carry, but i'm sure one of the stalls will have bags of some kind, or sacks, and i can carry it for you" he said with a chuckle "except the stuffed firelizard that is" he added.

A small blue firelizard appeared in front of R'an, gripping a note in its paws.
"Congratulations, you won the grand prize! Please return to the Ring Toss to collect your firelizard egg."
Not long after this C'ross would find himself similarly waylaid by a chubby crimson.
"Well aren't you the strong one? Please return to the High Striker to receive a well earned firelizard egg!"
[As stated on the front page your character may IC sell the egg if they choose! Please let me know ASAP whether they will keep or sell, if they will be keeping I will then send you the firelizard you have won. You can assume the eggs hatch in a couple of days time.]

R'an - Feast area - Marks to be added later R'an was surprised, he had just grabbed himself a meatpie and bitten into it when a firelizard appeared infront of his face. He leaned back, but took the note. The little thing disappeared and he read it. Wow he never thought he'd win anything other than his little prizes. A firelizard egg? He stood up and grabbed his meatpie, it was small enough that he could eat it on the way and made his way to the Ring Toss, fighting through the crowd, he appeared infront of the salesman. "Hey, I got this note?" He showed the note to the man. "I won a firelizard egg?"

C'ross - Damned if I remember how many marks he's got left
C'ross was somewhat surprised by being waylaid by the chubby crimson that was definitely not Trill. But he accepted the message with a little nod, read it, then tucked away in his pocket and tapped I'saak on the shoulder.
"Hey. Come with me for a sec? I have something I need to show you."

I'saak - going with C'ross?
IDK like 1/16 or something? boy spent ALL HIS CASH
Well, I'saak wasn't one to argue with people asking him to do things, and even if he was still kind of dithering over the jacket, C'ross pulling him away was incentive to make an impulse buy. Smiling, he passed over all but the last eighth-mark of his Gather money to the leatherworker, waving and calling a thanks as he followed C'ross, still in the jacket.
"Where are we going?" he asked quietly.

C’ross – at High Striker“Back to the High Striker.” For the third time that evening. Hopefully I’saak wouldn’t mind. “I have a prize to pick up, apparently,” he told the greenweyrling, waving the folded note at him but not handing it over. He wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise, exactly. Once he got there, he caught the attention of the man running the game. “I’d like to give the egg to my friend I’saak, here.” Glancing over sidelong, C'ross added as an awkward afterthought, "That is, if he doesn't mind."

I'saak - High Striker
his a** broke
"High Striker?" I'saak was puzzled, trailing somewhat awkwardly in C'ross's wake as he tried to juggle a parasol and stuffed firelizard even as he attempted to shrug out of the jacket (it was just far too hot at Trine to walk around casually wearing one). "But we already - I..."
He trailed off as he realized what C'ross was doing, expression going completely blank as he looked from his friend to the stallkeeper. "What - I can't - oh, Faranth, C'ross! I can't - but - Faranth, if you really want me to..." He could write to his father, that way. I'saak wasn't sure he wanted to, but maybe he could get a message to S'aak...somehow. "If...if it's really all right with you..."
"Oh!" He could feel color rising to his cheeks, and so he scrabbled desperately, attempting to re-settle the jacket, parasol, and firelizard plush all under one arm so he could pull the knife out of his pocket. "I almost forgot." He looked up, smiling hopefully at his friend, and offered the knife, hilt-first. "I got you this."

Rashel Kitsune R'an - Feast area - Marks to be added later
"Ahhh yes, welcome back!" the stall keeper smiled, he looked tired but rather pleased - he must have had a good day's takings in the end. "Here you go young sir," he passed over a pot of sand with a large plain firelizard egg in it. "It should hatch soon, I'm sure there's plenty of people that can offer you care tips for it."
In a few days' time R'an's egg would hatch into a handsome bronze!
"Oh?" the stall keeper raised his eyebrows a little at C'ross but then smiled with pleased surprise. "Well of course, better to give than receive isn't it?" So saying he passed the potted egg to I'saak as he watched the rather handsome knife come out for the boy who'd won the egg. Was nice to see, young people thinking of one another like that. "There's a little leaflet in the sand with some basic care tips," he added with a nod, "should get you through the first days if you're not sure what to do."
In a few days' time I'saak's new egg would hatch into a beautiful spunky green!

Taking it carefully, he thanked the man and carried the pot carefully in his hands. It burned alittle and he had to keep transferring it. Suddenly a thought occurred to him... He needed to put this back in his room, he couldn't carry it around the gather all day! With that in mind, he began heading back to the weyrling dorms. 'I'm bringing a friend.' He told Syriacuth. 'I thought the toy was my friend?' Came the dragon's interested reply. 'I won a firelizard egg.' There was some silence. 'Will it be loud?' was the final response. R'an smiled. 'I don't know, but we'll find out.'
