Welcome to Gaia! ::

P’ree there is a clutch on the sands, we should Search, it is our duty to Search, Iawanth rumbled, he was sunning himself while his rider ate breakfast. I am sure we will find some worthy candidates, remember back home, I picked a green rider. Iawanth had still not been able to call this Weyr home, his Weyr was Benden, his clutch mates were there, now Benden's they know how to have a good time, dragon and rider.

P’ree grumbled, couldn’t Iawanth take one day off? All he wanted to do was recover from last night’s drinking. His hair was slicked back and he knew he needed it cut, perhaps he could use that as an excuse.
I know some of the things you think, Mine, don’t worry about your hair, we should worry about the Weyr.

There are already many candidates, no dragon will be disappointed, P’ree responded as he sipped his warm Klah. He shuddered to think of the picky dragon that betweened at a hatching. There had to be enough candidates, right?

Alright, we’ll go out on a Search, but if we don’t find anyone this morning we’re coming back here to relax.

We must never relax, Mine. Not when Thread will come, Iawanth responded. Why must you be the lazy one? I am just trying to keep from going crazy. Iawanth thought but did not project to his rider, he spoke on his own private channel.

The pair popped out of between just above Keroon, P’ree gave a visible shiver and patted Iawanth’s side. He was glad he trusted his partner and that the spent so much time being mischievous and thrill seeking together that they knew one another well. Between was one of very few things that really twisted P’ree out of shape, he made sure to triple check destination points with his blue and still then he would ask.

Iawanth, perhaps we could check some of the minor holds attached to Keroon? P’ree liked the weather here, it was cooler than Ista but still quite warm. You’ll get the chance to scare a few runnerbeasts!

Iawanth bugled his response to rider and started off in the direction indicated, he beat his wings strongly. Once they were far enough away from Keroon and the people he closed his wings completely. The two fell quickly and P’ree’s breath caught in his throat. Iawanth, were you trying to kill me so early in the day! He projected towards his blue as Iawanth opened his wings to catch the wing and resume flying towards their destination.

Iawanth circled in the air and picked a place near the woman and crying child, his decent was a bit too flashy for the occasion, but it was never too late to let people know how wonderful being apart of a dragon and rider pair was. Afte rall, they needed to attract a willing candidate.

"Hello there, I am P'ree rider of blue Iawanth, I am here on Search, if you could kindly bring out anyone of impressing age," P'ree's voice boomed as he slid gracefully from Iawanth's back. He looked at the surprised tear stained tot and chuckled.

Poor guy, I hope you didn't scare him you big wherry, P'ree poked at Iawanth.

Tell them I am sorry if it was my fault, I am not scary.

"Iawanth says he is sorry if he scared the young one," P'ree offered an apology with a smile.

P'ree shrugged and leaned against Iawanth, waiting for the usual suspects to line up. He was used to seeing the same old thing, very young boys or older girls everyone wanting a chance. He talked back and forth with Iawanth for a moment about nothing, wondering if this really was something that the blue enjoyed doing.

Iawanth's eyes whirled a slow greenish blue as he looked back and force from perspective candidates he wasn't getting any of what he normally did hat meant a young person was right for impressing. Before explaining this to P'ree the larger black haired girl caught his attention.

This one mine, I am sure, Iawanth took two steps toward Tealyn and he craned his neck back to P'ree, tell this one.

P'ree looked at the girl walking toward the group, "Iawanth says you've got Candidate material."

P'ree cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck, "We are from Ista, sorry thought I mentioned, there is a clutch on the Sands." He wondered why she seemed so flustered he swooped forward patting Iawanth's leg.

Good job mine, you've found a wherry in heat, P'ree chuckled and smiled at Tealyn.

"Tealyn, if you'd like you could grab a few things, Ista is very hot so light layers are preferred by most," P'ree fell into a more well known speech, "It is a great honor to stand on the Sands and look for your bonded, perhaps one day you could be a rider." Iawanth bugled to emphasize the point. P'ree forgot to mention the over crowding, the history of fleas as well as sickness..it was easier to get people to come of they were you know..not put off by all of that.

P'ree looked bewildered, had he insulted the girl? He watched her questioningly with interest, she was most certainly not his type he saw her as apart of the job. Had P'ree Searched a girl because she was pretty..he wouldn't admit it out loud, but he had picked one over another before when Iawanth had pointed out two and P'ree had only taken one.

"Ready to go then, Tealyn? You've said your goodbyes?" P'ree gave her a warm affirming smile, not sure how to handle someone who seemed so hostile, well...he was used to being rejected by hostile women, but at least then he had actualyl done something. Iawanth had said..and the sooner he got his Candidate choice back the sooner he could use it as an excuse and force Iawanth to let him relax.

P'ree, using Iawanth's outstretched legged hopped to sit between the ridges on the blue's back. Iawanth was on the scrawnier side, but he was large enough to carry the two of them. P'ree looked down and held out his hand to her.

P'ree waved to the holders and instructed Iawanth to start gaining altitude so they could pop between, back to the Weyr bowl at Ista.

"As long as it takes to cough three times," he repositioned her hands so tha she held his belt tightly and resisted the urge not to slink away from the angry female.

Iawanth, we're supposed to avoid angry women, P'ree laughed and sent the directions to go home.

The cold was something P'ree would never become accustom to, no matter how many trips between the pair had taken and as he counted they appeared in the warm sunlight of Ista.

"Home sweet, home!" He shouted to the girl and looked back to make sure she was alight.
