I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
I can't change
I can't hide it
That's just the way I am
Name: Nandeli (NAHN-deh-lee)
Nicknames: Nan or Nande, but usually just The Nose
Age: 17 turns and proud of every one
Gender: Female
Craft: None
Rank: Jr. Weyrling
Physical Description: If her loud and proud nature gets a look from you, than her appearance will get a second. While she's not a glamorous or superbly beautiful girl, she has a very pretty face and a body that matches. She's well proportioned, her hips balanced by her breasts creating the traditional female hourglass shape. Though she's not near as old as some of the other candidates she has already hit puberty, filling out into her womanly figure. Her black hair is naturally curly, and falls in ringlets a little past her shoulders. Usually it's allowed to bounce freely around her face or put up in pigtails, however whenever she's trying to look nice or dressy she'll tie it back with a string of fabric. Her brown eyes are almond shaped, framed by dark eyelashes which she has a habit of batting if it will help her get what she wants.
Personality: There’s a good reason that Nan’s called The Nose, and it has nothing to do with the size of her nose. Her nose it quite normally sized, actually, but somehow it always finds its way into other people’s business. Renowned for knowing the dirt on just about everybody in the Weyr, Nan lives and breathes gossip. Heck, she probably starts half of it just based on snippets of conversations she’s heard when she’s eavesdropping. Wait, did we say eavesdropping? No, no, she doesn’t eavesdrop (the nerve!). She collects information. It’s a fine art it is, and one she has a great deal of practice in. Nan puts new meaning to the phrase ‘the walls have ears’, and with her vivid imagination she’s a walking nightmare for anyone who’s got something to hide (or just anyone really).
Any new arrival to the Weyr, especially a candidate, is subjected to her version of a ‘welcome party’, which consists of her talking their ear off and asking a lot of questions about their life. If she seemed genuinely interested it’s because she is. She likes knowing about people. She just likes knowing about their secret scandals better. And she admits it. She's also a total sucker for any sort of forbidden romance, and will even go so far as to play the role of matchmaker herself. Nothing beats hooking up two people who were just destined for each other.
Aside from her gossipy nature, Nan is a very bright girl who caries herself with a distinct air of self-assurance. She’s never had any problems with her appearance, upbringing, or parentage, and it shows. Her self-confidence makes it easy for her to talk to anyone, and she is known for just walking up to someone and starting a conversation. She’ll even talk enough for two people if the person she’s speaking to is shy (this is not recommended, as she will often answer her own questions and start rumours about people that didn’t exist before said conversation). Loud and proud, she’s the type of girl who has a horrible singing voice but belts it out anyways just to be heard. Though she’s not noticeably talented in anything she believes in trying anything once. Food, activities, Crafts, and more, she’ll try them all if given the opportunity. Life is made for living, and Nan takes everything that comes her way in stride.
Pets: None
Other/Talents: Very good at ‘collecting information'*
Picture: Tektek
Image Songs: Skye Sweetnam - Just The Way I Am, Rob Mills - Miss Vanity, Risembool Rangers - Yaoi Fangirl
Thread: [x]
* It is expected that, in order for her character to work, she will have some knowledge of every character that has arrived at the Weyr. It’ll generally be common knowledge type stuff that can be found on the profiles, and I’ll ask if I want to use something that isn’t name, age, craft, etc.

History
Pre-Roleplay
While her mother was originally from Ista Hold, she was Searched for the previous clutch and ended up at Ista Weyr. She failed to Impress when she stood for the first time, however she stayed at the Weyr in the hope of being able to stand again for the next clutch. Her second chance was snipped in the bud when a one night stand with a rider produced Nandeli, barring her from standing again. By the time her daughter was old enough she was too old and had lost her chance at being a dragonrider. Life at the Weyr lost its appeal very quickly, and by the time Nandeli was three turns old her mother had returned home, leaving her daughter in foster care. Her mother went on to marry a Journeyman Smith and rarely visits the Weyr. Her father visited her and still visits her when he has the time, but for the most part Nan grew up under the tutelage of the women of the Lower Caverns.
Growing up like every other Weyrbrat, she spent her time offering a hand wherever she could. Her time in the kitchen peeling potatoes was what sparked her interest in Weyr gossip. Kitchen workers are notorious for listening in on the conversations that people in the dining hall have while they eat and share the information amongst themselves while they work. Nan joined in on this practice when she was old enough to help with the serving, and soon became the go to person if anyone wanted to know anything. Was one of the bronzeriders having a secret relationship with the head cook? Whose blue managed to catch the recently Risen green? Why was the Weyrleader looking more tired than usual? Nan had answers to these questions and many more, and was always keen on sharing it with anyone who even hinted they might want to know.
She’s stood for Impression as soon as she was able, but has yet to actually become a dragonrider. Unlike her mother, this is only part of her life, and she intends to continue her life as the Weyr gossip even if she does not Impress a dragon. The Weyr is her home and she would be very upset to have to leave it.
The RP Chronicles
Weyr life is the best life, or so Nandeli will tell you. We begin the adventures of the infamous Nose with the arrival of her partner in crime: Miss Information (known to the rest of the world as Elae). Along with her friend C'ym the newly made bronzerider, Elae and Nan start rumours left, right, and centre. The first of their most epic stories revolves around the greenrider C'ren, who they believed had an older brother complex and was compensating by having a hot threesome with Raena and Kallista. Who wouldn't want to be involved in a greenrider threesome? C'ren, however, proved to be rather unscandalous as the weeks passed, not to mention he was an awful grouch. Nandeli soon turned her attention to Raena's secret affairs with S'kagi, master of the bronzerider trap, after a conversation with Raena and Rayale led her to believe that the two were quarreling down in the lower caverns. Honestly, can't people keep domestic spats behind doors?
A new friend appeared on the scene when Nandeli met Kiriwar, the adorable little gay vintner who was far too cute for his own good. She vowed to make sure that he would be happy at the Weyr, and he in turn promised to help join her information gathering ring. With a face that cute, who could resist? Another companion made his debut in the tuber peeling corner of the kitchens. Little did Nan know that her second co-conspirer would be Okassis the trader, but they most certainly bonded in their little exchange of gossip. So much so that he even invited her to be the commentator for the Klah Off he was hosting with Sovann and Inaari! Nandeli also met with Grouch 1 and Grouch 2 (commonly known as Bevan and Marko) and the rumours about Marko starting a gay harem of Harpers began here. We're still not entirely sure if those are false yet.
The Hatching was the second Nandeli had been a part of, and she was very pleased when Rayale – not R'ael – Impressed a little blue. The Klah Off proved to be an excellent use of her time, and she was privileged enough to meet Sovann and Inaari. While she wouldn't come into real contact with Sovann until later, she managed to bond well with Inaari when they met later mending clothing. A young, albeit slightly innocent Holder girl, she'll need a little more time before she can fully appreciate the beauty of two guys together with no clothes. She'll understand it one day, of that Nandeli is sure. Dorinelic, the poor Journeyman smith, was also subjected to Nandeli's insistent pestering and made to help fold sheets. He became a Candidate not too long after, and Nandeli was pleased to report that she expected him to be on a green. How could he not be gay?
Then began the life and times of Nan and Sovann, who had several interesting encounters together including a kiss in the kitchens and then a naked picture oh the beach. At the Hatching Sovann Impressed an adorable brown, and she made sure that he dragged his sorry a** down to the Hatching Feast (apparently so he could be drunkenly fondled). After getting her hands on a copy of the naked picture, she attempted to present it to Okassis to keep him company (now that his lover was gone) only to find that S'van was staying in the same barracks as Okassis. Nandeli invited herself in and they had an awesome slumber party. And she tickled S'van awake in the morning shrieking FANGIRLS, much to his dismay.
Life quieted down a little, and Nan went out in search of new people to meet. She met the grumpy yet destined for sekrit love S'en and his dragon, and made a mental note to keep an eye out for girls for him. One day he would see that she was right! A walk in the beach proved to be a Good Idea when she met and unstuck F'sey, the Weyrlingmaster who was surrounded by scandalous rumours of her own creation. She also attended the Gather and met up with Nimwae and her boyfriend Ceanandin, as well as he a very nice dance with Kiriwar (cue aaaaws). After that, the Weyr burst into motion again when the newest clutch was laid, and Nandeli was prepared for celebratory "omg you Impressed" dances afterward. What she didn't expect was that this Hatching would be her lucky one, and she would Impress none other than the Queen, gold Reneneth.

RelationshipsIn the Weyr there’s a girl named Nan
Who tells all the lies that she can
If you’ve got business
She’ll be a witness
Your 'mates will know all that you plan (written by Miss Cherie <3)
~Everybody: I'm watching you! :3 Do something interesting, please?
~Reneneth: We are going to have the best time ever together, you and me. I still can't believe you chose me, but they say you'll never get over that feeling. That's okay though. I want to be the best rider I can be for you, so that we can rock this Weyr together!
~Kaskel: Kaskel, Kaskel, Kaskel. What am I going to do with you? We grew up together so I can't exactly say anything bad about you, but you really should have a better appreciation for my art form. I'm good at collection information you know! You're a sweetheart, though and a goof, so I guess I forgive you. Good luck with those dozen kids!
~Jessmet: A girl with a similar background to mine. We grew up together, however I can't say I know her very well. She's a nice girl though, and a good sport. It seems Ren's hatching was also good luck for her as well. I hope she enjoys that little green!
~Lanakirene: She has a very poor imagination, sadly, and doesn't really know how to appraise the male form. Though, that shouldn't be surprising what with all the rumours floating around about her. Rumours aside, she did Impress a green, so we'll just have to see how that goes. She seems like a nice girl though, and she certainly doesn't go waggling her finger at the gossipers, which is always a bonus.
~Elae: Miss Information! The dear girl is my partner in crime. She's absolutely brilliant at finding the truth even when it's buried under so many lies (not to mention she has an excellent imagination). We make the best team in all of the Weyr. I truly hope that she Impresses and is able to stay with the rest of us at the Weyr. I'm not sure what I would do without her!
~C'ym: Tee hee. Poor C'ym. I can't help but keep teasing him, but in my defense he really shouldn't be so cute. Now that he's got and adorable bronze I'm not sure what we're going to do with him! One day I'll find the perfect girl for him so he can live happily ever after, but until then I want to see if I can get his whole neck to turn red!
~Raena: Interesting girl, though I think she's trying to compete with me for who knows the most. Clearly, it's me, despite the fact that she many know some inconsequential details about the Weyr. It's the information on the greenriders that matter. Everybody knows that.
~Kallista: Temper temper! It's not my fault you're doing scandalous things with a greenrider. Hate me all you want but I will get to the bottom of this!
~C'ren: Needs to get laid. Never fear greenrider, Miss Information and the Nose will find you your Weyrmate and you can be happy again!
~R'ael: Adorable Holder boy. I don't think he knows quite what to do with himself at the Weyr, but I'm sure he'll fit in nicely once he gets used to the goings on. He seems to be interested in gossip and a willing talker, so he can't be all that bad. And he Impressed! A pretty little blue too. Now we'll get to stay and talk together!
~K'riwar: Omg he has the cutest dimple in his cheek. ;; An absolutely adorable Candidate who loves talking to people almost as much as I do! I hope he hangs around the Weyr even if he doesn't Impress because he's such a sweetheart. And he Impressed! To an adorable little green! Go K'riwar!
~O'asis: Man does he know how to talk! I have a feeling we could totally swap tips or something because this Trader has got a mouth on him to rival mine (and I don't say that very often). He played the too cool for a green card, but we'll have to see how that goes. Overall, I think we have a new, welcome addition to the tuber peeling corner. And now he's a bronzerider! Talk about rising the ranks! Tuber peeler to bronzerider in two Hachings. That's some serious skill.
~Westren: A boy I met briefly in the girl's side of the Candidate dorms. Though I initially thought he was looking for his girlfriend - how scandalous! - it turned out he was only looking for his sister. Major bummer. Ah well, at least I pointed him in the right direction. I think he totally scandalized a few of the other girls though...
~Bevan: Man what a grouch! A classic case of older brother envy though, and not that I blame him. Kiriwar is pretty awesome. Ah well, all we have to do is find him a pretty girl or boy to wear away at that tough exterior to find the mushy goodness inside. Or something like that. I’ll keep my eyes out for someone like that.
~Marko: The Harper of Epic Gay Proportions! And kind of a grouch too, if you ask me. Honestly, are all the gay men at Ista grouches? It's like him, C'ren and F'sey all got together and decided they needed to be meaner or something. He's never going to get his harem if he doesn't learn to be a little nicer! I wonder if I should tell him that...
~S'van: My favourite adorable er ruggedly handsome brownrider, previously known as adorable little fisher boy! (As you can see, the adorable his hard to drop, but what can I say? He is pretty darn cute with his little dimple). He’s got quite a sassy side though, however I can’t say I’m complaining. It seems a little cheering goes a long way, and I intend to see just how far he’ll go one day. His dragon is totally the best thing that ever happened to him, and I have a feeling we might even be on the way to partners in crime. How awesome is that?
~Inaari: She's a pretty Holder girl and she's got a good head on her shoulders. I don't think she quite understands the appeal of two men together, but that can easily be rectified. In the mean time, it's just a matter of getting her used to the slightly freer look on sex and nudity at the Weyr. No doubt she'll get the hang of it soon though, and I'd bet you a mark that before long she'll be a rider. Another one I'd definitely like to keep around the Weyr.
~Dorinelic: A Smith from Keroon. Not a bad fellow, but I can't help but think he's going to get the shock of his life living at the Weyr. A little too much all at once, if you know what I mean. I wonder if he's secretly gay or something...
~Reike: I've known this guy ever since we were little. One of the benefits of growing up a weyrbrat, if I do say so myself. He's the overly friendly sort, but I like him. I haven't seen him around much, but I've been known to keep the occasional eye on him. He is the type to get himself involved in sticky situations.
~Veyes: I met him briefly when I ran into Reike. All I remember is that he liked marbles. More information is required before I make a judgement. I heard he was one of the kids involved in the wine stealing incident...
~Zhaylan: Mister Strange Artist man! I'm not entirely sure what to make of him, but he did paint S'van naked, so he can't be all that bad. We'll see if he does anything interesting in the future.
~S'en: The grumpy bronzerider destined to fall in love with a girl when he least expects it. Remember those words well because it's totally going to happen and I'm going to do a victory dance when it does. It's a shame he's such a grump though, since his dragon seems so nice. Ah well.
~F'sey: Pending
~Nimwae: Another partner in crime! A very nice girl and very talktative (I'll never complain about that!). She and I usually have tons to talk about when we get together, which makes all of our meetings awesome. I hope she spreads the rumour about S'kagi around a bit. And now she's got a green! Look at this, all of my friends are Impressing! This is totally awesome. I'm dying to meet the green that Impressed her. They're bound to be like kindred spirits.
~Ceanandin: Nimwae's boyfriend! I mean, her friend. Yes. Right. They came from the same place - Southern Boll - apparently and he seemed to be quite buddy buddy with her. I'll definitely need to look into this guy.
~Ariaen: I can't say I know much about her, but she Impressed the really aggressive green at Ren's Hatching. She can't be too bad though, since she came over to congratulate our little group. We'll have to see how things pan out with her.
~E’si: Easy's grumpy! I think if we're giving out awards for the grumpiest greenrider ever, E'si might take the cake. Still, he doesn't seem too unhappy about the hug I had N'tos give him, which is a good thing. It's a sign that he just needs a little love. I wonder if I can set him up with a really nice bluerider...

Dragon Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try, cause it's your time
Time to fly
Name: Reneneth
Color: Gold
Font Color: Goldenrod
Physical Description: Reneneth is average-sized for a Queen, though her wings are surprisingly larger than normal. Because of this, she can quite easily soar to great heights and glide much longer than most dragons, pumping them quickly for speed and distance. Unfortunately, they are indeed heavy in comparison to the rest of her body, and so she often can't maintain these sharp bursts of speed for very long. It has been noted that, if one manages to startle her, she often flares her wings a little as though to unconsciously make herself seem a bit bigger.
Personality: Fairly shy and subdued, there is a certain elegance that surrounds Reneneth. Even as a dragonet, she somehow lacks the clumsy, bumbling movements of her siblings. She moves with cat-like grace, and often will sit and observe her brothers and sisters at play instead of joining in, observing them in a curious manner. She isn't condescending, however, not in the least. There's simply something about her that makes her seem more mature than the rest, and a little more secretive, more mysterious and enigmatic than the rest of the dragonets. Still, with perhaps a little persuading from her rider, she will sigh and hesitantly, but regally make her way to interact with the other Weyrlings.
Because of her introverted nature and the fact that she shows no interest in leadership, her rider will be hard pressed to make her senior Weyrwoman. Still, her dignity and grace clearly mark her as a gold, and she is quite the intelligent creature. Despite her reluctance to speak up sometimes, Reneneth is strong, compassionate, and understanding whenever a problem surfaces. She is good at offering insightful advice to those who need it, and many will come to admire and respect her levelheadedness.
When it comes to her duty as a Queen, this girl will quietly accept it because it is what is expected of her. She hides what she doesn't like to do quite well, as she hides most things, so much, in fact, that sometimes it's difficult to figure her out. She's an enigma to everyone but her rider, and while she doesn't seem self-motivated, nor malicious, she hoards most things about her like a dragon hoards gold. No one but her rider knows what she's thinking, and it's the same with her duties. Does she like to be a queen? Only her rider can tell.

The King Cobra Egg InformationThe King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the world's longest venomous snake, with a length that can be as large as 6.7 m (22 ft). This species is widespread throughout Southeast Asia and parts of India, but found mostly in forested areas. Its genus name, Ophiophagus, literally means "snake-eater", and its diet primarily consists of other snakes, including sizeable pythons and even smaller members of its own species. The venom of the King Cobra is primarily neurotoxic, and the snake is fully capable of killing a human with a single bite. The mortality rate from a bite can be as high as 75%. When in danger, especially when coming in contact with a mongoose, it will flatten its upper body by spreading its ribs, forming the distinctive cobra hood about its neck, which can be the size of an adult's handspan. It will also emit a high-pitched hiss, sometimes with feigned closed-mouth strikes. These efforts usually prove to be very effective, especially since the King cobra is more dangerous than other mongoose prey as well as being much too large for the small mammal to kill. The King Cobra's venom is primarily neurotoxic and thus attacks the victim's central nervous system and quickly induces severe pain, blurred vision, vertigo, drowsiness, and paralysis. In one to two minutes, cardiovascular collapse occurs, and the victim falls into a coma. Death soon follows due to respiratory failure. Despite the King Cobra's fearsome reputation and deadly bite, it is a shy and reclusive animal, avoiding confrontation with humans as often as possible. There are other venomous snakes within this species' range, in fact, that are responsible for more fatal snake bites than the King Cobra, such as the Monocled Cobra, or Russell's Viper . MythIn Egyptian mythology, Renenutet (also transliteration as Ernutet, and Renenet) was the anthropomorphic deification of the act of gaining a true name, an aspect of the soul, during birth. Her name simply meaning, (she who) gives Ren, with Ren being the Egyptian word for this true name. Indeed, it was said that newborns had Renenutet upon their shoulder from their first day, and she was referred to as (she who) rears, and Lady of the robes (referring to birth-robes). Initially, her cult was centered in Terenuthis. Her name also could be interpreted in an alternate way, as renen-utet, rather than ren-nutet, consequently having the more esoteric meaning - nourishment snake. As a nourishment snake, Renenutet was envisioned, particularly in art, as a cobra, or as a woman with the head of a cobra. Snakes are another animal without sexual dimorphism and seeming only to be female to the Ancient Egyptians so there was only a goddess. This secondary meaning also led to her being considered the source of nourishment, thus a goddess of the harvest; gaining titles such as Lady of granaries, and Lady of fertile fields. The importance of the harvest caused people to make many offerings to Renenutet during harvest time, leading to her being seen as a goddess of riches and good fortune. Why Me?Underneath Nan's gossipy exterior, there is a heart of gold. It takes a lot for someone to make the effort to talk to everyone, and to try to get along. It's a rare quality, one that Ren regards higher than anything else. To be able to be genuine in all regards, now that is truly golden. While Reneneth is a relatively shy, withdrawn queen, she views Nandeli's ability to talk to everyone as a good thing, wishing to learn from her as well as have her relay any thoughts and actions the two of them feel should be taken. While she'll be hard pressed to make Nan a Sr Weyrwoman, she will do all she can to make her happy. If that includes taking up a position of leadership, it is a small sacrifice for having the honor of being Nandeli's dragon.

Quote: King Cobra Egg - Last but not least, the sight everyone came to see, the Queen egg! Average-sized as far as Queen eggs go, she is shuffled towards the back, much closer to her mother than everyone else. Even in the protective shadow of the dragon, it's not hard to see her egg is colored darker than usual. The darkness makes the golden shine that much more obvious than usual and the bottom of the egg is dramatically lighter.
Quote: And then there were two. The rest of the eggs had hatched, leaving behind the remnants of their shells and a few places of disrupted sand. The chaos had begun to die down slowly, very slowly, as healers ans S'kagi took care of the situation. Things were beginning to settle back down to how the hatching had been in the beginning, a more calm environment, with the Candidates waiting with bated breaths. The queen egg was one of the ones left there on the sands -- the sight that all the girls had come to see, and hoped to Impress. The carpet python was the other egg, both seeming unusually still. Perhaps it was just that everyone had been so caught up with the violence that had ensued before, that this calm merely felt unusual. Or maybe it was just the calm before the storm. It was the queen egg who began to quiver first, her large egg drastically overshadowing the small carpet pythons, and within a few moments the Cobra egg had hatched, revealing the gold dragonet. She was everything that could be expected from a queen -- poised, even after just hatching, raising her head up to an even level and spreading her wings, flicking a piece of shell off it. Within the few moments that the Cobra looked around, the carpet python began to shake, tumbling onto the sands with considerably less grace, her tail raised as if to try to balance herself, although she were already in the sand. Letting out a surprise squeak, the green pushed herself up with a little effort, stumbling a little and running almost face-first into the Cobra, who stood perfectly still, despite how the python almost barreled right into her. Instead, she merely toppled into the sands before her, as if a sacrifice before some goddess. The entire Hatching Grounds echoed with the collective gasp. The carpet python let out another squeal, this time more of fright and instability than confusion, scrambling up hastily before the large queen and hissing with an unsure anger and fear at her, her position defensive. The Cobra continued to watch, blue eyes calm, although she lifted her wings higher, as if to make herself look bigger. The sands were completely quiet. Moments passed without anyone daring to breathe. The Cobra moved slowly, the first of the two to do so, and all eyes watched her. She bowed. In that instant the carpet python both relaxed and tensed at the same time, the honor bestowed on her sending the poor dragonet reeling, both mentally and physically. Stumbling away from the confrontation that had just happened, she moved towards the Candidates almost desperately.
Quote: This was the last dragon. The last to stand before the Candidates was the Cobra, who, wonder of all wonders, had bowed to the green who had stumbled before her, letting her find Hers before even she herself found her rider. Her eyes had followed Anidanth, watching her Impress, having long-since straightened. It was her turn now, the last of her clutch, and the one everyone had been eagerly watching. It was not surprising that she was the last to stand there, scanning the Candidates with an unreadable look in her eyes. There was a regalness about her that, while she did not do anything to try to divert everyone's attention from other things, obviously captured it anyway with no effort. This, however, seemed to do less to do with her color and more to do with her personality. Had she been a green, it was easy to see that this girl's personality would have shown through no less brightly than it did now. It seemed to take much longer than it actually did for the gold to lock eyes with a girl, everyone holding their breath as the small queen taking her first steps towards the group of Candidates. NandeliMineThere was no hesitation in the deep, feminine voice as the Cobra moved with a serpent's grace towards the girls, glancing towards a few of the others before moving around them to get to the girl who would be Hers. NandeliMine, you are bright. I could see it from there, you shone quite brightly in my eyes. Your thoughts are so warm. You talk to all... please teach me to do the same. Your Reneneth wants to be a worthy Queen.

Quote: As the Queen took a step forward Nandeli took a moment to glance around the crowd, trying to scout out who she knew among them. One of them in here was going to get this queen and she would be damned if she didn't know who it w- NandeliMine.Hold up. Had she just... heard her name? In her mind? She turned her head slowly, brown eyes returning to the Queen. It was impossible. There was no way that she had Impressed a gold! And yet there she was, the regal gold from the cobra egg making her way through the crowd towards her. The Nose could do nothing but stand there and stare at her, eyes wide in shock. Never in a thousand Turns had she imagined anything like this. She had always just assumed that she would stand with the others and then spread some love around at the Hatching Feast for those Impressed and un-Impressed alike. But to think that she, Nandeli the Infamous Nose, would be among the Impressed? It was... it was unthinkable! NandeliMine, you are bright. I could see it from there, you shone quite brightly in my eyes. Your thoughts are so warm. You talk to all... please teach me to do the same. Your Reneneth wants to be a worthy Queen. The gold stopped before her rider, gently touching her muzzle to her. She, the last of the dragons on the Sands, had made her choice. Nandeli reached out to gently touch the top of the hatchling's head, eyes still wide as she took in the contours of the gold's hide with her fingertips. Reneneth crooned softly at the touch, pressing against the hand like a cat. Things were much better now that she had found Hers. And the little green had found Hers too! Yes, all was right in the world. "Reneneth... shards you just... wow...." Nan clapped a hand over her mouth to stop her giggling, She could feel puzzlement across their bond, and waved her hand in a dismissive gesture. "Don't worry about it. It's alright. We're alright. We're... just wow. What you did with that green back there? Awesome! The Weyr's going to be talking about it for weeks!" She threw her arms around the gold's neck, the giggles returning as she buried her face in the smooth hide. "You're mine." And you are mine. And for the first time in her life, Nan was happy that she had absolutely nothing to say.
