Welcome to Gaia! ::

Talare yawned widely as she walked up the path leading to the weyr. Her blue tunic and leggings durty from the road dust, but all and all she didnt mind. With a wide yawn she streched her arms above her head and gave a joyus laugh. She spun herself in a circle. She didnt know why, but today was a grand day, and she just felt so alive! The sun shown clearly through the bright blue sky, warming her shoulders as a wind, lightly scented by wild flowers wafted through the air. Talare smiled brightly, and there was a little joy in her steps as she kept forth. Her dark raven tresses trailing behind her.

After she came to a bend in the road, she desided she must take a rest. Her legs where growing stiff from walking and a short break would do them and her stomach some good. She found a nice patch of greens and ploped her self down, and sighed with contentment. She pulled from her belt pouch a roll and some cheese, a meal fit for someone on the road. She ate quickly, and leaned back on her elbows. The clouds in the sky were puffy and white, and fun to watch on days like today. Her spirit was so full of jouvilty that she pulled out her pipe and began to play.

A merry melody escaped her fingers, just a little tune of her own making. Often times her finger would dance over the holes and play music of their own accord and sometimes that was when her best music was composed. However this was an older tune of hers, of playing as a child and running through medows. Times in which she could get away from the tasks of tending to the heard and runner beasts and be by herself to play. Slowly her fingers slowed and the song ended. Talare smiled, pleased with herself and this day and layed the pipe across her lap, should another tune over take her.

Talare yawned softly and she thought just before she had put the pipes down on her lap she had heard a soft trill. But looking around now she saw no animal which could have made the sound. Talare was framilure with the legend of firelizards, but she had only met a few. Coming to the weyr however, she was sure she would see alot more. But there where none here now. She shruged a bit and layed back on the soft plush grass. A smile crossed her face, after all she must have been hearing things, such a silly notion in itself. Perhaps her pipes had made the noise? A bur or blade of grass having got lodged inside could explain it. Yet upon examination of her pipes the air way was clear.

Talare laughed to herself as she laid back once more, crossing her feet and placing her arms behind her head. She was just being silly today. Yet...the sound of her laughter seemed to change pitch as it echoed across the medow....and there it was again. Raising a quizical eye brow she sat up and looked down the path. But from where she was sitting, she was in the corner of bend, so she couldnt see very far down. Distantly the laughter trailed on and she was sure someone was approching.

With a second laugh of her own she hoped to her feet, she was close to the weyr so hopefully this meeting would hail her someone to talk to on the rest of travle. With a small hop in her step the harper head off down the path towards the sound of the laughing voice.

((*wry grin* Times like these a RP map & miniatures would come in handy. Well. No sense being strangers!))

The dragonrider was far enough ahead that Kyira did not see him; her attention on her own little green. The sudden appearance of the other green startled her momentarily before the two little ones had an excited conversation. Obviously this firelizard was getting her own all wound up about something, & that was why Fellis was bringing Kyira along. She wondered what it could be.

Fellis crooned plaintatively, obviously asking permission to go ahead with her friend. Images of the lolling ocean water filled Kyira's inner eye. Laughing, the young healer could only oblige. "Go ahead. A dip does sound good. I'll be along as soon as my inability to fly allows."

Knuckling the firelizard's head affectionately Kyira beamed lmost maternally as her green took off after the other, shielding her eyes against the sun. When she could no longer see them she returned her gaze to finding a land based way to follow them. Rounding a corner she spied another female. Are those pipes in her hand? Curious & eager she slipped into a slight jog.

"Hello!" She called merrily. "Were you the one playing pipes a bit ago?"

A questioning trill escaped Fellis momentarily as she eyed the dragon's massive forepaw warily. Glancing at Sisao, the hatchling was reasured of the safety & forgot her fear in favor of playing this new game. With mimicing actions she emulated Sisao as if a mirror image to "fly" in Feronamth's clawed hand.

Talare smiled to the woman who had just rounded the bend. A questioning look crossed her face as she seemed surprised to see the harper sitting there. Her lithe fingers dusted back her raven locks as she slolwy stood to greet the woman. "Aye, these are pipes. " She chuckled merrily. "Yes I was playing, Did you hear it? I hadnt thought the sound would carry that far but then again there isnt much ambiant noise." She grinned and extended her hand out to the new comer. "were are my Manners, Im Talare. Are you from the Weyr?"

Sisao tried to understand her friend but could not. She once again tried to explain C'tari, but really he was trapped somewhere between a large bronze dragon and meat rolls in her erratic mind. She darted up and without warning went between and arrived just above her bonded's shoulder.

C'tari waved her away from landing on him. The tunic he was wearing was not thick enough to withstand her sharp talons. Instead he directed her to sit next to the first batch of oil he was intending to use. It had been some time since he had oiled his dragon, mostly because the great bronze, now at his full growth, hardly needed it. It was still a good practice once in a while to help bring out his deep colors and gaurd against cracks from the cold of between and itchy peeling hide.

Feronamth finished his bathing and bugled to let his rider know he was returning straight so that he would be plenty dry in time for the oiling. The water felt good, the air is clear. Thread falls soon.

C'tari was a bit distracted by his strange comment about thread. Everyone knew it would fall again soon and they would be sent to fight it. His heart pounded at the thought. There were always casualties during a fall and injuries. His own dragon had thread score. We fly well are you worried old friend?

The bronze dragon cooed his rider, we do fly well. Others are approaching. From his much higher vantage point Feronamth could see the two women heading towards thier location half way between the beach and the weyr.

(I have no concept of distance. xD For all I know the beach is like miles away... oh well. xP For all intents and purposes, lets just say it is quite close.)

Talare smiled and before she knew it was grabbed by the hand heading towards the beach. She couldnt help but laugh as she ran, it felt good to run her long legs falling easily to pace with the other womans. Besides...a firelizard! She'd only ever seen a few in her life...and by the grace of the gods had been graced with an egg and was happily awaiting its arrival. It was still soft yet but hardening a little more everyday in its pot by the hearth.

Her long raven hair caught the breeze and belowed out behind her, tresses falling in her eyes every now and then. She giggled again as they approched the beach and slowed her pace as she slid down the slope. "Oh my! I havent ran like that in quite some time!" she grined and threw her hands out and twirled in the sea breeze. "Lovely day too." She eyed the sky warily for but a moment before remembering that thred fall was not due for awhile yet.

She turned her bright blue eyes on her new companoin. "So where is the firelizard that demands our attention." She grined and looked around, taking a quick moment to pull her long locks into a thick braid, as not to tangle against the gusts of cool wind coming off the
waves.

C'tari looked up at Feronamth's urging and saw the two women approaching. He smiled in his sly way as the women looked lost or... he wasn't sure.

Feronamth saw Kyira look up to his form and bugled a hello as he took the last few turns before landing. He rumbled as his feet hit the ground looking at the barrel of oil warming in the sun.

Sisao realized she had missed her chance to get oiled and dipped her nose in the big barrel thinking it would somehow help. Then she saw Fellis sitting on Kyira's lap and meandered over to Kyira sitting on the ground in front of her, chirruping and asking if she could sit with Fellis.

He smiled at the actions of both his dragons and even brighter at the journeyHealer. I'm C'tari, and this is Feronamth. He is indeed, bronze and I've been getting all sorts of reports about your little green from him today. He watched Sisao pacing in front of Kyira. Though I'm not sure what she is more interested, the oil or your Fellis.

The bronze dragon nodded his head, his eyes swirly a soft happy green at being introduced. He nudged his rider getting happily impatient about the imenent oiling.

The fire lizard heard her bonded talking about her and took to the air in an impressive display of aerobatics.

Now if I could just convince her to help oil Feronamth then she would get plenty of oil on herself without me having to do it. He winked at Kyira. Then sudden realized his manners he nodded a hello to the other woman, but Feronamth grumbled and nudnged him again and he turned laughing to grab the oil brush and dip it in the basket to start oiling his giant companion.

((because I'm a bronzerider we should make this RP occuring one week before Ariath rises... just so the outcome or talk about it won't conflict with the actual RP in progress))
