Stir. Stir. Stir. Change direction. Stir. Stir. Stir. Change again. Stir. Stir. Stir. Shards this stuff stinks.
Numbweed duty. Probably one of the most miserable chores that could be given to a Candidate, and here he was, stirring away. It might not have helped that he had been caught trying to teach Drakell how to properly set up a bag of ashes above a door frame earlier on. Said flit was resting on his shoulder with a tail curled around his neck, even in spite of the stench. Azuran was at least grateful that he had stuck around, but that didn't do anything to alleviate the pains of numbweed stink.
Stir. Stir. Stir. Perhaps next time he tried to enlist the small brown's help in a prank he would practice first in a place outside of the Weyr. Stir. Stir. Stir.

If you cant train your flit then get out side where she cant do any damage, go stir numbweed! were the words that followed Zeren outside in towards the stinking Numbweed, he coughed and pinched his nose shut, "Viska why wont you learn to behave?" he asked the green flit who was happily persched on his shoulder, having persistently annoyed the kitchen staff by stealing food, and annoying the spit canines, most of the food she's taken had ended up in Zeren's bunk, which he'd dutifully returned, however, the staff, hadn't been nearly so pleased as Viska seemed to be.
Viaska crooned, happy, so what she'd not done as she was told, she was only bringing Zeren food, what was wrong with that?! she couldn't/didn't understand that her actions seemed to get him into trouble alot, she just found the things he tried to tell her .. not fun, she chirruped excitedly when they got close to the big Numbweed pots *brownfunbrownfun* she chittered and threw herself off Zeren's shoulder, flyin directly towards Drakell who was perched on his boy's shoulder
"not again" moaned Zeren, racing towards where his flit had gone, "OH, Azuran! no wonder Viska got excited" he said blushing "what did you do to warrant the pots?" he asked, reaching for the stirrer "here i'll take over for a bit, rest your arms" he suggested, knowing that they daren't mess up the pot or there'd be even worse chores to do.undefined

Drakell chirruped happily at the sight of the familiar green, and he immediately leapt off of Azuran's shoulder to meet her half-way. The two fluttered about in mid-air, exchanging greetings in the form of random happy images and emotions.
"Ah, hello, Zeren," Azuran greeted, not really taking note of the blush. He gratefully relinquished the stirring duty at the other's offer and took a moment to enjoy the small break. "Thanks. Eh, just got caught trying to teach Drakell something that I probably shouldn't have been," he replied, not going into specifics. "What about you? I take it from your question that you weren't just assigned this as a normal chore?"

Zeren took the stirrer from Azuran, barely stopping the movement, and started stirring, looking into the pot slightly before he answered "Viska was teasing the spit canines, one had to be patched up, she tore its ear, and stealing food, she brought it to me, and i had to take it back, most of it was spoiled but at least i took it back" he said a little grumpily "the kitchen staff sent me and Viska here out of the way" glaring at the flit who was exchanging greetings with the brown.
Viska hummed and chittered happily, she had attention, proper attention and that only meant fun *playplayplay?* she emitted to the Brown and kind of looped around him in a large circle

"Yikes. Sounds like she's quite a bit of trouble," the ebony-haired teen remarked, placing an arm on his shoulder and rotating it around a bit. It was amazing how such a monotonous task could stiffen one up. "Perhaps you should try finding some kind of outlet for her. She appears to be quite energetic." He looked over at the two flits as he said this and shook his head. Must Drakell always be so sociable around others? Made it more difficult to get his attention back.
The firelizard trilled in excitement as the female circled about him. Her energy was quite contagious. YESPLAY! With a strong beat of his wings, the brown 'dove' down at Viska, trying for a playful tackle mid-air.

Zeren nodded, "i dont know what to do, i've tried to train her, i really have, you've heard me in the barracks surely, she ..just .. wont... listen" he sighed, "wow this hurts fast" he said, meaning his shoulders and arms from stirring.
Viska squeaked happily, dodging the bigger brown with relative ease, spinning on a tailtip and tweaking his tail, grabbing at it, to pull him down a little, flapping her wings hard.

Yup, he had heard him alright. And the other really didn't seem to be having much luck with her. Azuran actually hadn't been having much trouble with Drakell at all, other than the fact that the brown liked to occasionally fly off on his own to meet people. Then that required fetching, which required talking...
"Yeah, it sure does," Azuran said with a small sigh. "You get used to it after a while though. Here, I can take back over that if you'd like."
Drakell let out a chirp of surprise when Viska grabbed his tail, but he quickly recovered and tried to spin around and n** her back. The green was much more agile, true, but he was persistent.

Zeren shook his head "i'll do it, for a bit longer, take a rest" he said, he'dnot been stirring long, and he didnt even know how long Azuran had been at the pot before him, though he could see others dotted around the clearing with their own large pots, some people in pairs, others in threes, and some in groups. "how do you keep your flits attention?" he asked
Viska chirped in surprise as the brown turned, she tried to outrace him, but her earlier antics had used up most of her speed, this is where the brown had the advantage, she might have speed, but his stamina was greater, her dodging started to get slower

"You know, I'm not entirely sure," Azuran admitted, somewhat sheepishly. "Well, sometimes I can't keep his attention-- like now for instance," he said, gesturing over to the two aerially entangled flits. "But mostly... I dunno. Food usually helps."
Seeing that the other was starting to slow, Drakell chirruped in triumph as he dove in yet again, managing to successfully tug on her tail this time. He flittered off higher to escape from her return attack.

Zeren grunted, glancing at the cavorting flits, "she's like that wth every male that'll pay her attention, though she seems to be more hyper around Drakell" he said, with a sigh, trying to roll his shoulders while stirring, he coughed as he took a deep breath "shards this stinks" he said, bursting into a coughing fit.
Viska chitted as Drakell pulled on her tail, she fell a couple of feet before she recovered, she tried to gain height again, and beat her wings hard to gain height, grolwing in mock anger *cheatcheatcheat*

"Yeah... I think Drakell just gets hyper around others in general," Azuran said with a shake of his head. "But especially around anything even remotely related to him. He's extremely social with other flits and dragons." The teen blinked as Zeren fell into a coughing fit, and patted the other lightly on the back. "You gunna be alright there? It helps if you try to avoid breathing though your nose. ... Although admittedly 'tasting' the smell isn't all that much better."
Drakell seemed highly amused by the female's plight, and swooped down to meet her mid-air again. He had plenty of energy left still, and he used that energy to circle about the other teasingly.

Viska waited for Drakell to come to her, when he did she grabbed gently at his wings, and dove down towards the ground at the last minute straighteing out to land on a rock near the two boys *funfunfun*
Zeren coughed again, "i need to get my face out of the stink, would you stir?" he asked, watching Viska and Drakell, he went to pet her a while, her soft hide calming and warm, noticing a small flakey patch "i guess you want poinling later" he said to her.

Drakell unfortunately wasn't nearly as agile as the smaller green, and the little maneuver resulted in him smacking painfully into the ground. NOTFUN! he called out in complaint, eyes whirling grey as his front side smarted from the impact. Notfunnotfun.
"Fine by me," Azuran replied, taking back over stirring duty. No sooner had he grabbed hold of the handle however than he heard the play come to an end with a soft thud and an indignant cry. A moment later the brown flit popped back up onto his shoulder, snuggling into Azuran's neck for comfort. "Played a little too rough there, buddy?" he questioned, unfortunately unable to pet the flit with his hands full. He did tilt his head lightly against the small brown as he snuggled into his neck however, sort of as a pseudo petting.

Zeren winced "i'm sorry Azuran, Drakell" and reached out to pick Drakell up at the same moment he flitted off to Azuran, "Viska, you shouldn't do that, what if he'd been really hurt" he scolded the flit.
Viska crooned to Drakell, her eyes whirling slightly yellow, she chirped to Drakell, *ok?ok?* she seemed to ask from Zerens arms, though she didnt go to the other flit, since he'd returned to his boy *boygoodboygood* totally ignoring Zeren's scolding

"It's alright. Things happen," Azuran replied with a faint smile. "Perhaps this will keep him from getting too carried away in the future." He didn't seem to be seriously hurt after all, apart from maybe some minor bruising to both his front side and his ego.
For once Drakell appeared to be more interested in his human than in a fellow flit, and he ignored Viska's croon completely in favor of more snuggling. The grey in his eyes was dulling and slowly turning more back to their normal blue-green, but he ignored the other flit nonetheless.
