Welcome to Gaia! ::

D'lin found himself enjoying the early night hours as he ambled along with Plexith, the newly adult bronze sometimes wandered alongside him and other times soared about overhead. Tensions had been strong in the Weyr lately with this whole Mystweed ordeal and it was nice to just take a bit of time and relax.

'Watch where you are going mine, it is getting dark' Came Plexith's voice, the dragon was currently flying overhead and D'lin paused momentarily to look up at his great flying bulk before replying mentally 'I'm fine Plexy, the moon gives off enough light to see by'

'Plexith' came the dragons miffed reply and D'lin smiled sightly to himself 'If you say so mine but there is a girl up ahead' 'what? Where?' 'Thought you said it was light enough to see...' 'Don't be a smartass Plexith' D'lin remarked to his bronze peering ahead to spot the supposed girl and half thinking Plexith might be having him on.

it wasn't long before an outline appeared before him and as D'lin stepped closer it quickly resolved itself into the girl Plexith had mentioned earlier'Told you' Came the dragons pleased remark and D'lin rolled his eyes a little bit at his partners typical desire to prove the right one in any situation.

She was sitting outside what he assumed to be her dwellings in the weyr and he might have just continued on past her if Plexith - deciding that his needed more interaction with others - hadn't swooped down in a great rush of wings and wind to settle on the ledge in front of her and tilt his great bronze head to peer at her with whirling green and blue eyes 'Tell her hello' prompted the dragon. D'lin sighed 'you probably just scared the heck out of her' he scolded the bronze mentally before offering the girl an apologetic look "Sorry about that...Plexith wanted to say hello" He told her

'That is not what I meant...' Objected Plexith and D'lin smiled 'I know'.

D'lin was rather used to people ignoring him when Plexith was around - the bronze was far more commanding in presence then he was and D'lin didn't mind that one bit - he was exceptionally proud of the fine dragon Plexith had grown up to be. Patting Plexith's nose while he waited for the girls attention to return.

Taking the offered seat while Plexith trilled his approval D'lin shook his head slightly "Plextih likes to meet everyone, and he doesn't think I spend enough time socializing" He told her with a chuckle. He assumed the girl was a candidate - though she must be a new one because he didn't recall her from his standing and that had been the last clutch. "I'm D'lin" He introduced himself "And thats Plexith" Though he'd already mentioned the dragon name it seemed proper to introduce him formally anyways. "Whats got you sitting out here in the middle of the night?"

Lilia's that was a pretty name, D'lin thought to himself though he was far to shy to actually tell her that, obediently he eyed the piece of wood and then twisted around to look at the carvings she gestured to 'Hey, those are really good" He complimented her sincerely, he wasn't too shy to tell her something like that, he'd hated his time as a smith but he'd developed a like for fine craftsmanship..any craftsmanship along the way.

At her question Plexith whom had huddled his head down to look at the carvings also seemed to appreciate them 'They look good enough to eat' He approved, he'd developed a taste for some fish along the way, which was somewhat annoying given the sheer number it took to fill him up. But Plexith was finicky when it came to food and saying something looked good enough to eat was fairly high praise from the dragon so D'lin passed it on "Plexith say's they look good enough to eat he told her" and then because it seemed more polite to do so he asked Plexith out loud if he would mind her carving him "What do you think Plexith, want her to make a carving of you?"

In respone Plexith regarded Lilias for a few moments before blowing gently 'As long as she doesn't make me look like a fish' He remarked in a tone which made D'lin think the dragon was secretly quite pleased to be considered for such a thing "I think your 'magnificent' description won him over" D'lin told Lilias "He says yes...as long as he doesn't look like a fish"

'I do like fish' Plexith confirmed with a smug look at D'lin "Now you've done it" He told Lilias "Now he's going to be showing up and begging fish from you whenever there isn't a herd beast to his liking" It was really quite absurd Plexith and his eating habits - I mean really who ever heard of a picky Dragon? While most of his clutch mates were more then happy to scar down whatever was presented to them - except maybe Scarath who liked spices and such - Plexith demanded only the best and it could be challenging to find a 'best' that appealed to him from time to time.

'Well she offered'' Plexith pointed out, blowing out a small huff at his partner. 'Yes but that doesn't mean you can pester her all the time' D'lin pointed out to his dragon mentally. 'I don't know anything about carving wood'' fussed Plexith 'How do I know what to pick?'

"He says he doesn't know anything about carving, so I guess we'll leave the pose up to you" He told her with a chuckle. "I was a smith before being searched, do you miss your time as a fishcrafter?"

' There you see she doesn't mind' Plexith injected with a smug tone, of course it made perfect sense to him, who in their right mind would object to doing something for a bronze? Especially a bronze as clearly wonderful as he was. Why it was a wonder he didn't have hordes of lady dragons and humans alike trailing after him. 'Getting a bit cocky there aren't you?' D'lin question his dragon as he caught the jist of his thoughts.

'Not at all' countered the bronze confidently, faceted eyes whirling with curiosity as he watched this carving take shape. "That's understandable" D'lin told Lilias "I missed my family I suppose, though not so much my craft, I've never been on a boat, I've heard it can make you ill"

'I'm sure it can't be any worse then how jittery you used to get when we first started flying' Plexith piped up in a humorous tone, and in the way of bronzes and their penchant for doing what they wished when they so wished to do it he surprised D'lin by expanding his words to let Lilias hear them as well.

"Yes..thank you for bringing that up Plexith" D'lin remarked out loud in a dry voice though an undercurrent of amusement was there to show he really wasn't mad at the beast at all - so he'd been a bit nervous at first, did you see how high dragons flew? Anyone in their right minds should be! "Maybe I should try a boat sometime" He pondered "I don't think anyone in my families even been on one - they're sort of the stay at home type"

'Of course it was' Plexith confirmed and D'lin shrugged slightly "Just wait until you impress, they never stop talking then" He teased the bronze who turned his head to give his rider a look and huffed slightly before turning his attention back to Lilias and her carving.

"I don't think I'd be nervous on the water" He hazarded a guess " I just wasn't so fond of heights. Flying was a bit nerve wracking at first but Plexith is a fine flyer and we're fine now" Though if he was truthful his heart still fluttered a bit when they dove. Studying the carving which was taking shape in her hands he had to smile "That's really good, looks just like him" He complimented
