Flutter flutter flits here. Shashee  This little green flit was born moody! If ever there was a green born for mood swings then Shashee is her. Nothing seems to please her or soothes her or is good enough for her. When she rises only a bronze will do, or maybe a beautifully colored brown. Never Ever a blue! Rather an independent little snot, she is, she'll go hunt her own food and MAYBE she'll share it.
Training: Aerial Search, Greeting
Breeding: noneTrissum  Found as an abandoned egg in the kitchens, Trissum is jealously protected by Shashee. A mellow flit it takes a significant amount of excitement to provoke a response. She is happy with just about anyone. A sympathetic green Trissum doesn't mind a long cuddle to help someone feel better.
Training: none
Breeding: none

Journal Down to basics:
Fleshing a hide is simply the removal of meat and fat from the skin. It is best done after the hide has soaked for one whole day. After that it can be frozen. To thaw and ready for use, thaw hide and soak for 24 candlemarks.
Dehairing is exactly as it sounds. Removing the hair from the hide, you want to get below the brown layer. This step is easier the fresher the hide is. If allowed to dry its called rawhide. Soak overnight in cold water and hand stretch before using rawhide.
Following dehairing is pre-braining. This step uses a brain solution of one bovine brain for every 2 gallons of water. The hides are soaked in this solution for as little as 20 minutes to over night. Results in a whiter hide.
After pre-brain soaking the hide needs to be hung straight up and down, not folded on itself. Soak the hide over night in cold water(a lot of this involves over night in cold water soakings) prior to stretching. This results only in more whitening of the hide.
Once dry, the hide may be smoked. It needs to be hung 3 feet from the smoke pot. Enough to smoke but not cook it. This takes 3 candlemarks. After smoking, it goes back into the brain solution for a half to full candlemark. It's rubbed over a bane and returned to the solution for 3 candlemarks to overnight.
Wring hide after final soaking then work it with rope, beam, or cable. The purpose is to soften the hide, be careful as it can be overworked.

So far in the past sevenday I have been, 1. Whisked away from the Tanner Hall by a blue dragon, 2. Met a fellow candidate and Weyr healer Soril, 3. Stood for the first time at a Hatching in High Reaches Weyr, 4. Didn't Impress, but S'ril did to a pretty green. Yeah I think that much about covers it.
It all happened so fast. I think my head is still whirling. The others seem friendly or at least friendly enough and the dragonets are cute. Does the Weyr need an apprentice tanner? Most likely not. I may stay anyhow. This was only my first Hatching and I can have others. It might be worthwhile to stick it out. If I don't Impress I'm sure my master at Tanner Hall will take me back, hehe hehe hehe......

I have been training Shashee to help me in my quest for sweets. She flies in and finds where the sweets are. Then she keeps a look out while I slip in and grab one or two. I decided to try out her training. It worked perfectly! She went in and found for me the location of the sweets. Unfortately, a girl saw me. Her name is Keir and she's very nice. She let me have a sweet and promised not to tell the cook. Shashee even got to use another thing I've been training her. A greeting where she cheeps and bobs her head. She was very cute, but don't tell her I said so. Calling her cute makes her angry.
Several days after we met Keir, I was in the kitchen again, when Shashee noticed an abandoned clutch of flit eggs. There were three in all. A blue egg, a sunrise egg, and a pink tiger egg. My little girl took a liking to the Pink Tiger Egg. So since no one else claimed it, we're, or more acturately Shashee is taking care of it. Keir showed up and adopted the sunrise, while another guy took in the blue egg. I think the pink tiger might be a blue or a green.

Well I was right. Several days after we found the eggs and I took home the Pink Tiger Egg, it hatched. Inside was a sweet tempered green. When I went to name her however.... I was going to name her Triss-something, but it came out "Triss.... um..." And so she took her name as Trissum. She's a cute little thing that likes to sleep nestled in the crook of my arm.
Shashee guards her jealously when she's not with me. I'm not sure why though. I understood that greens don't have much material instincts. Maybe Shashee feels bad that she was abandoned? Or is this a phase she'll grow out of when she gets bored of it?
