Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was now a sevenday since they had Impressed and frankly the whole thing was mainly a blur. Feed, oil, scrub, feed, lessons, feed, oil, scrub, and so on. Baeveth slept a lot but she herself didn't have a lot of time for it, none of them did; mainly when the dragons were sleeping during the day they would be in lessons or preparing food for them or something else. Most of them weren't strangers to hard work but the routine was still punishing, and yet she couldn't seem to mind at all or in fact to want to sleep a whole lot. She was exhausted but she didn't want to miss a moment of this new life of hers on sleep; she wanted to wrestle with Baeveth, talk with her, experience her presence in her mind, or even just watch her sleep.

When Onyal dismissed the class - advanced anatomy and some of the rarer sicknesses that could afflict a dragon - V' got to her feet, yawned, and stretched. Baeveth, who had been sitting beside her desk, did likewise.

"I feel like a walk to the lake," V' said aloud, rolling her shoulders to loosen them up, "anyone coming?" As she spoke her silver firelizard set about gathering up her notes - written on bark paper in awkward, angular script - and vanished them away to her dorm room; useful little b*****d he was, a lot more so since she'd Impressed. She wasn't quite sure that she understood what was going on in his little mind but she suspected that he felt like he had to be more responsible now he wasn't the baby anymore.

Baeveth snorted to her rider, stretching out her wings and then giving herself a shake. she added aloud to her clutchmates. She hadn't been swimming before but she had picked up from briefly wandering thoughts that her rider had done so quite a lot where she used to live, though that had been in salt water not fresh.
