Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lilias sighed as a light breeze brushed her hair back from her face, closing her eyes she tried to envision the ocean even though she was sitting beside a very freshwater lake at Trine Weyr. It was no use though the lake just wasn't salty smelling enough and she opened her eyes. Upon which she was instantly attracted by shadowy shapes in the water of the lake. Fish, she thought, though much more colorful than the ones at home.

Lilias's mouth fell open. Was that a fire lizard? Catching fish? It was so close and so beautiful a perfect replica of its larger dragon counter parts. The ease with which it flew, the ultimate balance in the air. It was breathtakingly beautiful and could catch fish better than she could. She couldn't remember the last time she had caught them with her hands. And she didnt have nearly the speed or grace of a fire lizard. She decided right then and there that she liked fire lizards. Lilias remained stock still on the sand in order to prolong the encounter with the little fisherman.

"Shards!" Lilias exclaimed as a blue firelizard came out of nowhere. She ducked instinctively, knowing he would not have hit her either way but to startled to change the instinct. She had no idea where the brown had gone but she was occupied now with what had just happened with the pretty blue, he had had a most unique coloration. That was close, she thought to herself , I'm awake now. She had not seen Saykiro yet.

"Oh thats quite alright, I have never seen one so close before." Lilias looked down at the little brown which was apparantly trying to get her attention his small claws tickling her leg. She examined Saykiro. His light blue eyes catching her attention first, she liked the color. She skimmed over the scar on his bare arm and gazed quickly at the rest of him. Her first impression leading to "friend" right away anyhow his firelizards seemed to like her.

She held out her hand to him. "My name is Lilias, Pleased to meet you, and Dune is it?" she asked glancing down at the firelizard. who it seemed was intent on tickling her.

Lilias blushed at the attention of both Saykiro and the firelizards.
" Hello Ishbel", Lilias acknowledged the little Queen, "No I havent seen one up close until now and seeing three has been quite the experience. "What made you name her Ishbel? I like the name." she ashured the queen so as not to cause her offence. Lilias looked down at her hand in Saykiro's and noticing the calluses she pulled her hand away embarrased. A lady's hand was suppsed to be smooth. Too bad being a lady was so boring.

Dune, had finally stopped trying to get her attention or perhaps get Saykiro's attention on her. She wasnt sure which.

"They arn't disobedient, just willfull," Lilias mused on the topic of freedom fighting firelizards. "At least they can fish," she put in. "Thats what I used to do."

"Nice to meet you", Lilias replied. "My name is Lilias, I am a fishercraft apprentice hence the calluses. And also a candidate."

"Out of curiousity how did you get your firelizards are they not uncommon?" "How much do they eat?" Lilias added as an afterthought after seeing Saykiro feed the brown a tidbit.

"Im sure there would be plenty of bronzes to catch her fancy when the time comes. If they can catch you." She crooned at the pretty gold. "After all a lady such as you deserves only the best."

Lilias nodded at the firelizard in acknowledgement, she gently poked Dune with her toe to reassure herself of exactly where he was lying so she wouldn't step on him by accident.
