“So! I heard there were nekkid people here!” Elae announced grandly, making her entrance. Unlike Nan, she was not heralded by a group of potato-peelers. Unfortunately, the poor girl had gotten in trouble----completely taken out of context, mind you----and had been unfairly punished. Honestly, what was with these people who couldn’t answer a few simple questions? And what was wrong with going through some efforts to find the answers? She darkly suspected that a certain Greenrider was behind it all. Mindlessly, she scratched her scalp a little, trying to relieve some of that awful itching.
Well, clearly, if C’ren was trying to get her in trouble, she was getting closer. She was about to do some more research on her latest theory when someone had arrived with the news: Nekkid boys down at the lake! And, possibly, nekkid girls! Elae strolled along the lake, hoping for a glimpse. And then she saw them. And squealed. Loudly. Eee! Nekkid boys! They were so cute!
… Well, parts of them, anyway. Actually, she thought crotches were pretty gross, no matter who they belonged to. But bare chests!! Eeee! And there was Nan!
Eeee! Elae scurried over to her friend and seized her in a tight hug. “My dear, I’ve missed you so much! What’s happening over here? Well… besides the simply gorgeous boys over there?” she eyed them thoughtfully before giving them a bright smile and a wave.

Veyes nodded just a little as he listened to Zhaylan. Ok so maybe he was right that putting them all together might be fake. But then again, how many pages would he have to go through to get all of what he wanted to sketch? And at this point the pants were getting a might bit uncomfortable floating around as he sat half in the sands and out of the lake. Oh great, he would be here all day!
With that in mind, he was beginning to think that comfort was more in style if he were going to be sitting here for awhile. So when Zhaylan's attentions were elsewhere he quickly took note of his position then shifted and yanked off his pants under the water depositing them close by. "Ok...no lines for now.", he called back to Zhaylan as he maneuvered back into the pose. He hoped that would get the drawing done quicker this way. Even so, it was nice to be free in the lake rather than the pants clinging across his flesh.
As he sat half in the lake and half on the sands, he knew he should have been more embarrassed but the water made things a little easier to join in. Plus, the idea that two others had undressed before made him a bit more brave by some unsaid moral support. Either way, he felt a little more like a finned fish rather than the land bound man he was causing his imagination to rumble with approval. However, it was Zhaylan's next words caused a wicked idea to cross his mind and imagination briefly; one he'd have to initiate quickly lest he loose his new found courage.
Glancing up at the girls further away he grinned with a broad smile and called out to the feminine onlookers. "Are you brave enough to be natural with us and let the Artist sketch you? Or you just going to stand there gawking at us all day? Ain't never seen a man before? I dare ya to do it!"
He could feel the bit of adrenalin rush hit at that moment. Had he really just said that? He remember the last time he had felt that same need release an outburst like that...it was with L'thor when he first met him. But...Oh great..."that girl" was on the hill!
He turned his head back to the pose then realized Keiryann wasn't that far away. "Did I really just say that to them?" he asked with that dreadful thought....maybe it had been his imagination playing a rude trick.

More and more girls. Like little itchy bugs. Maybe the girls made itchy bugs. Who knew? All that Zhaylan knew was his sketching was done. He now started to go back in and work on the details. Hair, long hair and floating hair. Braided hair. Eyes, expressions.
So much detail. He was completely absorbed in the art. By now, his subjects had to have been posing for several candle marks. He knew that they would start to get fidgety soon and want to move. Dragons and flits were easy to draw. They rarely moved when sleeping.
Then the fishy boy, dolphin boy with the long hairs said something to the noisy girls. Noisy girls had to pose too. If he did boys, girls might get jealous... Angry? He shrugged and continued to work the details. Redhead had nice shoulders. What about the girls?
"Girls can pose. They have little dragons. Little dragons can cover girls, blend together. Natural boys. Natural girls. Makes much sense to me. Very good idea."
Hopping down from his rock, Zhaylan started to walk around the boys again, adding to the drawing of each one as he examined them again. What a fine picture! One of his best. Turning, he showed all four boys what he had drawn. "Like yes? Is you, all together. Looking happy. Very good, I like it much."

As the Artist spoke, Elae tilted her head to one side. What? Was the man allergic to certain words or something? He sure spoke in a funny manner… it even took her several moments to figure out that he was asking the girls to strip. Wait, what? That was a little uncalled for! Elae had been at the Weyr for a few Turns, but she wasn’t eager to get her clothes off. Well, maybe around certain people… but surely not in public. Let the Weyrfolk take care of that.
Oh wait! Then it all made sense! The man’s strange manner of speaking, his absurd and rude requests… he had to be one of those… ah… differently intelligenced folk. Not everyone was blessed with a working brain, after all. Clearly he was extremely talented at drawing, but not so talented with everything else. Elae’s manner softened slightly, but she showed no signs of getting naked. No matter how mentally challenged the man was, that was no excuse for his behavior.
“Are you sure you want to be out here?” she asked very gentle in a very, very soft voice, the sort of voice one kept in reserve for the very stupid or for animals. “Come on. I’m sure we can find someone to get you something to eat. You’d like that, wouldn’t you?” Honestly, didn’t anyone else see how cruel it was to keep the poor man out here? He needed care, not to be gawked at by some unruly Candidates!
Normally, Elae was very much in favor of gawking, but there were some lines that shouldn’t be crossed, she felt.

Lanamine, I think this might be a bit intrusive, you know... Isonth began, but La was not currently listening to her. She had been washing her dragon, but as more and more boys got naked (she had initially assumed some sort of hazing ritual or a dare, but when nobody got pushed into the lake or paraded around in anything strange, she had dismissed that and inched ever so casually closer. When she had realized that something relatively innocent (minus Nan) going on, she had dismissed it. But now there was the possibility of female nudity courtesy of some noisy dares from a Candidate-boy she didn't know, and La was suddenly all atwitter to know precisely what was happening.
"Don't worry, Isonth. I'm not interrupting anyone. They don't own this space," she remarked, trailing her dragon behind her and taking just a moment to tie one of her drying cloths around her waist for the sake of some reasonable degree of modesty. It wasn't as if she was completely naked, but, well, walking around in her underthings was not something she had ever been particularly concerned about. It wasn't like everyone hadn't seen it at some point. Weyrs were not renowned for their prudish modesty. Isonth huffed quietly and bumped La's hip with her head as they walked over. La rested her hand just behind the dragonet's headknobs.
Spying Elae, she led her little green over to the group with mild interest, though Isonth chose to plant her haunches squarely on the sand a little ways away from the flock. La kept walking, only stopping when she drew up beside Elae and grinned briefly at her. "What's going on?" she asked curiously.
Lanamine, you are being nosy, Isonth said. I thought you weren't supposed to be nosy.
Don't worry, Isonth. I've got this covered.

Uroru was having no problem sitting still as the sands were quite comfortable, not too hot and slightly damp from the water which helped keep him cool. He was finding endless humor in how his visit to the lake was going. Everything was great, so long as he kept his mind from lingering on the gaggle of oogling girls a little ways off. He chuckled to himself, making a mental note to consider staying around should the girls get brave enough to 'Get natural' like he and a few other boys had.
His darkened honey hued eyes followed Zhaylan as he walked around him and the others to take in as much detail as his page could fit. When showed the artist's work, he smiled brightly, highly impressed. "It's great! Wow, Zhaylan, you do some impressive work. I like it!"
He chuckled warmly. "I'll definitely have to see more of your work sometime." He glanced towards the still growing group of girls blinking curiously at them. "Hm. You'd think they'd never seen naked boys before."

A mysterious gift on her bed? How exciting! "Sounds like somebody's got a secret admirer~" Nandeli crooned, clearly quite pleased by the turn of events. Perhaps it had been Bevan who'd seen the sweet little Inaari and decided she was just his type, though she didn't know how he'd come by a flit egg. Perhaps it had been a younger rider, or maybe it was even one of the boys at the Klah-Off! She would have to do some further investigation later.
She had to resist the urge to giggle when Inaari said that Sovann's skin was soft, extremely tempted to ask if it was soft like something else. That, however, might cause the poor Holder girl to faint, and she didn't want that to happen. At her question she simply laughed, spreading her arms wide in an all-encompassing gesture. "Because we asked him to! Well, the artist did, but we egged him on. Look a bunch of the other boys are doing it too! NATURAL LOOKS GOOD ON YOU!" she bellowed the last bit, and several of the other girls added their own cat-calls.
One of the girls nearest Jessmet leaned in when the fellow Candidate joined them, and whispered eagerly, "An artist is painting the boys on the beach! And he wants them nude!" She burst into giggles along with the girls closest to her, clearly finding the whole situation to be incredibly amusing.
The chaos only got worse when Elae arrived on the scene, her hug making Nandeli squeak in surprise. Surprise turned quickly to glee when she realized who was hugging her and she returned the embrace. "You've come just at the right time! It's posing day for the artist! Are you enjoying the view?" She definitely was! The Nose was distracted from her gaggle of girls by a yelling voice and she turned to look at Veyes. Wasn't that the boy she'd seen from the girl's dorm? Veyes? And what was he asking them to do? Go all natural? Daring them to go all natural? Ohohoho!
"It'll take more than that to get us undressed! We all cheered for you, so I expect some cheers from the boys!" Nonetheless, Nandeli had already halfway undone the buttons on her blouse. Spotting La making her way over, her face broke out into a grin. "La! Bring Isonth over so the artist can draw her too!" Seeing as the young greenrider was already in proper attire for this natural painting, why not invite her to join in?

Once Jessmet had been brought up to speed, she shook her head and laughed. The little brown on her shoulder chirped in protest at the movement. With a calming hand, Jessmet couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to get a better look. Yes, that was Sovann over there! He'd certainly come a long way from barely being about to kiss Nelioa on the cheek.
She laughed off the dare as well, until the man with the sketchbook started talking as if it were great idea. Girls covered in little dragons? Jessmet's tanned cheeks turned pink; Trundlebug's eyes whirled, mirroring her embarrassment. Growing up in the Weyr meant that Jessmet wasn't averse to nudity, but there was a big difference between sharing a bathing room, or swimming, and actually posing nude to be drawn! That could be left for those like Nan, who relished being in the spotlight or-- La! Who had an actual dragon.
Jessmet waved at the new greenrider and stepped back into the crowd. There, she spared a glance for the other girl with a firelizard. She'd been at the klah competition as well. Judging by Inaari's fair skin and apparent youth, nudity probably wasn't what she had in mind either. Jessmet hoped. That would give her an excellent reason not to pose.

Of course, Sovann didn't find anything sexual about being nude on a hot day, so he was blithely oblivious to Jessmet's sentiments. Nan wanted some cheering, huh? Well, if she wanted cheering... "Oy, Nan! Take it off!" he yelled, grinning rather broadly. Not that he could see her, so it really didn't matter to him, but the idea of getting the notorious gossip to pose for the artist did amuse him. Oh Nandeli. He had to give her credit, though. She was certainly brave... for a girl. He quirked an eyebrow, glancing at the image. "It's, um. Very good?" How else did one respond to that? He'd never seen so many naked (or nearly naked) young men. At least not ones that he wasn't related to. Was the artist going to add the girls in, as well?
((Sorry, I'd make a longer post, but I'm sick, and my brain is therefore cloudy.))

When Zhay was satisfied that all the boys approved of the work, he made his way back to his rock. He was tempted to start coloring then and there but the temptation of the little dragons and big dragon coming were too much for him. Carefully, he put the first sketch away and took out a clean sheet. He didn't have much of it left; Tersa would be proud but sad that he didn't save for another day.
When a funny girl came up and starting asked him stupid questions, Zhay made a rude noise in the back of his throat. He looked down at her and shook his head. "No. Not hungry. Drawing. Finish the pictures and I will be done. Very simple. Coloring comes after outline."
Turning away, he moved over to the gaggle of girls. If they wanted to be natural, it would be up to them. He didn't insist on it. Circling them, he moved one girl and turned another, getting them to like a random group -which they were- but matching up those who complimented each other.
Taking the young girl, Inaari, with the noisy green he moved her so that she was sitting closer to Nan. "Please stay? Have little dragon around neck or in hair, or in lap. Stretch out, be lazy. Natural for girls, not so natural huh?"
He chuckled at his own joke, not caring if the youngster got it or not. Turning to the loud, silly girl, Zhaylan moved her back towards the center of the group. Very important, she was in the middle of it all. Noting she was already getting ready for the picture, he nodded absent-mindedly and patted her on the head. "Good, good. You pose, you are in the middle. Everyone natural..er-looking at you!"
Then there was the girl with the brown little dragon. He looked around to see where he could put her. Small green dragon was coming up with girl and he could see in his mind's eye, the two related creatures staring at each other, nose to nose. Pointing at Jessmet and the one he didn't know was called La, Zhaylan raised his voice a little. "You two get together and talk. Flit and small dragon look at each other and talk too. Not too long to sketch. Nice pictures for everyone to have. Pose. Be natural. Cover self in sand or dragons, not a bad idea. Boys much braver than girls."
That last part he muttered under his breath as he went back to his rock to start the beginning outline.

Veyes smiled brightly when he saw the drawing that Zhay had created. It was a heck of a lot better than anything he could have done an it was really neat to see himself on paper! It was rather strange to actually see someone take that time to draw him because he hadn't ever thought of having a drawing done. Well he never could have afforded one. "Thanks for taking the time ta do, Zhaylan, It looks really good." He made sure to offer praise because that always encourage better work later...maybe he'd consider posing for the boy again in the future. Why not?
So the girl wanted a few cheers beyond just the dare. Sure did take more work to get the girls to do anything! Maybe that's why it was easier to deal with boys - Not nearly as many complex things to figure out about other men. But as soon as the bare boy on the rock started hollering, he smirked and offered his own support.
"Yes...Take it off! Take it Off! Come on girls!" he called out to the girls. "Which one of you is brave enough to join us!? The Artist can't wait all day!" He chuckled just a little not expecting any of the holder girls to strip down - too much modesty there. Well, he had to agree a little...he probably wouldn't have started this on his own without the other two doing it ahead of him. However, he was now getting into it just a little bit more and didn't feel as uncomfortable as he had awhile ago.

Keiryann who while not totally natural, he only had on his undergarment(dont quite know what the guys wore ... i know girls had straps and underwear ... anywho) lounging in the sun was nice as being out doors .... he chuckled rather loud at Veyes and how the girls where reacting.
The young green rider and her dragon ... where a sight as was the other girl who finally went "natural" though the guys wherent that bad looking either ... sadly Keiryann wasnt looking for a relationship at the moment but he did enjoy the show...
Keiryann being a sketch artist by hobby was greatly interested in the artists work and couldn't wait to see that it looked like. unfortunately he had not brought down his sketch pad .... oh well maybe another time .... as he watches the amusing scene he thinks greatly upon the eggs on the hatching grounds and the candidate lessons .... he sighs heavily and continues to watch in amusement the others

La grinned at Nan, and as soon as she realized what was going on, she raised her eyebrows and gave the boys a cursory once-over before actually paying attention to what was going on. Wait....were girls going to be undressing? This would be great fun!
When Zhaylan spoke to her, La looked over at him and raised an eyebrow. Oh, really? He wanted her to talk to Jessmet? And wanted Isonth to talk to a flitt? She wondered briefly if he knew anything at all about how dragons communicated, but it probably wasn't worth mentioning it. Zhaylan, in general, was...she wasn't sure. He seemed to be 'not entirely there'. But whether he was stupid or whether he was incredibly ingenious, he had come up with the most brilliant technique for getting people naked that could ever be devised. She would go along with it for the sake of the other girls, whom she hoped would get more naked than they already were.
"Come on, Isonth!" she called lightly, for everyone's benefit. "They're candidates, they won't bite, and he wants to draw you!
Artisancraft? Is he an artisan, really? Isonth asked brightly, perking up and rising to her feet again. Weaving between the other girls and boys, stepping ever-so-carefully but occasionally only just avoiding sensitive parts of both genders with a wingtip or claw, she sat down next to Hers and nuzzled her affectionately. Why is everyone taking off their clothes? Does this have anything to do with the itching bugs? she asked curiously.
No, love, La answered, rubbing her head thoughtfully. The hair was going to have to go, and soon. But that was another story for another time. She grinned slightly and scratched Isonth's eye ridges, looking around at the girls and dropping the cloth around her waist. Stepping out of her underthings, she folded everything neatly and laid it aside.
"Right then," she said, standing surprisingly demurely for a girl with such a masculine figure. Looking at Jessmet, she tilted her head and offered a smile. She wasn't sure she had ever spent much time with the girl, to be honest.

Zhaylan nodded happily as two of the girls were cooperating nicely. When the little green with spots came and sat down next to hers, Zhaylan could see the picture in his head. Moving up to the little dragon, he actually held a respectful tone as he spoke.
"Pretty green dragon. Don't steal the picture now. Please move your head forward to cover rider's parts. Such a pretty dragon, yes? And raise your wing a little?"
Of course, everyone from the lowest drudge to the most respected Lord Holder knew that you never, ever touched a rider's dragon without permission. Carefully, he flipped back to the page of the boys posing and showed the darling creature. "See? I will draw you, like I draw them. Rider can remember when you were small."
Gah! He was wasting time! With some of the girls already in their poses, some nude and some not, Zhaylan decided he had wasted enough time. Pulling out the soft lead stick, he began to sketch quickly before anyone moved.

Jessmet shrugged. Ah well. Isonth was lovely enough to be the center of the drawing. Although she wasn't entirely sure Trundlebug would understand what he was supposed to do.
The girl pulled off her light tunic and trews, setting them near La's, but leaving her minimal undergarments on. (The sand could be uncomfortably warm, right?) She settled in the sand near the green dragon and attempted to arrange her brown fire-lizard as instructed. As he was her first, and he only just hatched, sending images was a new concept for Jessmet. Fortunately, Trundlebug was intrigued by the green weyrling and was perfectly happy to stand on his hindquarters for a better look. As a final touch, Jessmet quickly unplaited her long braid to let her hair flow over her chest and back.
