Welcome to Gaia! ::

Practice had gone a bit longer then they had anticipated and D'lin had barely managed to squeak a few sweetrolls out of the kitchen before Plexith bugling his impatience outside had demanded they go to the beach right NOW. "I'm coming I'm coming" He told the dragon before clambering aboard with his rolls wrapped in a cloth.

'You can't be all that hungry' he bespoke the beast as Plexith took to the air 'You ate not to long ago' He pointed out - recalling well the trouble the bronze had had in picking out a suitable herd beast.'It was a small herdbeast' Plexith complained 'I just want a snack that's different' He continued in a firm tone. 'Alright..alright, just don't make her fish forever okay? That would be mean' He reminded the dragon as the beach came into view.

'I will not be greedy or mean' Plexith promised solemnly and D'lin patted his neck a they descended to land a bit away from where Lilias was fishing - they hadn't wanted to spray her with sand and such after all, sliding off with his pack - where Plexith's scrub brush was sticking out a bit ponderously they ambled the rest of the way towards her. "Sorry were a bit late, practice ran long" He explained once they'd gotten close enough.

Plexith rumbled his pleasure at the pile of fish - and D'lin supposed it was a greeting of sort as well though the bronze had already started rooting about in the pile of fish 'Try not to be too picky' D'lin urged Plexith in a hopeful tone though the bronze seemed inclined to ignore him for the moment and continued almost delicately picking through the fish - well delicate for a dragon anyways

Giving Lilias a wan smile "Plexith says hello" He told her as she flung the net and then went over to see what she'd caught - D'lin honestly hadn't even noticed what she was throwing the net at until she'd already done it, he supposed that was just something you developed an eye for. 'Practice was good - mostly it's allot of repeating this or that but I guess thats how you learn such things..just do it over and over again until you don't have to think about it anymore."

D'lin smiled a bit as Lilias went on about her craft, he could relate he supposed recalling the hours and hours he'd spent learning things in the forge before he'd been searched - though he guessed that Lilias had enjoyed her craft far more then he had. She'd already admitted to missing it while he himself had practically thrown an inner party at the thought of leaving it behind. 'And now you will never have to return Mine' cooed Plexith as he caught the last bit of D'lins thoughts and D'lin smiled 'you did save me from that' He bespoke the bronze affectionately.

'Tell her I like these ones' Plexith continued on, seemingly back on the subject of his snack and prodding at a largish grey colored one that to D'lin's eye looked just the same as many of the other fish in the pile "Well Plexith definitely appreciates all the practicing you did" He told Lilias with a slight chuckle "He says he likes..those ones" He answered, pointing out the fish Plexith had indicated

Obligingly D'lin glanced down at the quickly shrinking pile of fish, it seemed there were more then one type that Plexith liked enough to actually eat - which considering his finicky appetite was something of a miracle really. Maybe he should have tried to get the bronze to try fish sooner.

'They are quite good' Plexith commented to his lifemate 'Though not as fun to chase as a wherry' He continued. 'well thats because your not doing the chasing' D'lin bespoke the bronze before leaning down to pick up a small flopping fish, holding it by the tail with two fingers as he brought it over to Lilias

Plexith lifted his head to glance quizzically at Lilias and her fishing pole 'I don't think I could,it is such an odd way of hunting' 'well we don't all have wings and claws and fangs' D'lin pointed out with a laugh and then explained to Lilias "Plexith believes we have strange hunting methods..though I've pointed out that we don't have the luxury of claws,fangs or wing"

D'lin smiled "Something I'm sure Plexith would be incredibly lost without" He both told Lilias and teased his dragon who rumbled a hearty agreement at such a statement 'Though I am sure you would find a way to scratch me anyways' He added, arching his neck to regard them both with a prideful look.

"He says we'd find a way to scratch him anyways" He shared with Lilias, wincing slightly as she stuffed the hook down the fish's gullet, before he caught himself - sheesh you'd think he wouldn't even blink about such things anymore considering that of all things Plexith liked to eat the brains.yes the brains of his kills first...but once the bronze was old enough to make his own kills D'lin had tried to keep his distance from the more gruesome of the sights, though he tried to make it seem casual - lest he have to endure some ribbing from the other riders. Big bad bronze rider with a queasy stomach...he could just hear it now.

"Just don't tell the other Riders and Candidates" D'lin remarked with a smile "And i can't say I'm all that fond of any rotten smell, don't know of anyone who is" He mused, glancing at Plexith where he sat still daintily picking his way through the fish - of which there was noticeably quite a few less then before - "Except perhaps the tanners..they work with all sorts of nasty things tanning their hides and don't seem bothered by it much at all.." He let his words trail off suddenly as Lilias let out a Squeak.

'Mine! She is being dragged away!' Plexith rumbled, his giant bronze head swiveling in Lilias direction as his eyes wheeled in worry "Don't even think about it Plexith, I've got it" D'lin warned his dragon before he started bugling for help or some such thing and darted over to where Lilias was still making steady progress into the water, grabbing her about the waist to keep her from being dragged any further with one hand while reaching to help steady the pole with his other.

Seemingly only semi-satisfied Plexith was watching them with wheeling eyes and wings half spread, as though he was ready to snatch them up himself...or tear apart the fish, it was somewhat hard to tell which. Thankfully the fish didn't seem strong enough to pull both of them toward the water even in the slippery sand. "Well...fishing is a bit more exciting then I thought it was going to be..." D'lin remarked

D'lin tried to keep out of the way and help her pull the fish out of the water at the same time, which given how little he knew about fishing he was sure he was more of a bother then a help honestly. Still it was nice of her to say he'd helped and now that they were back a bit and clearly in no further danger of being dragged off Plexith had settled somewhat...though he insisted on padding over to inspect the both of them up close, prodding them with his giant muzzle before D'lin soothed him by scratching his eye ridges.

'This fishing is very dangerous' The dragon concluded though his eyes began to slow at the scratching and return to their typical content coloration. "I don't think it's dangerous all the time Plexith" D'lin commented out-loud with a tolerant smile "And as Lilias said she would just just let go of the rod..I doubt she would have let herself drown" He continued.

'Of course not! And I would have saved her before that' The bronze declared with his typical bronze pride, because clearly no one could be a better saviour then a bronze..well except maybe his rider of course. "And I'm sure you would have been an excellent rescuer" He told the dragon with an affectionate pat before looking back to the fish "I didn't even know that had teeth like that"
