Welcome to Gaia! ::

D'lin had wanted to arrive a touch earlier then he had but Plexith had insisted upon double checking to make sure they had everything before going off to meet S'kor and his. Of course when D'lin had pointed out they had already checked the night before Plexith had merely told him it was proper to double check such things and honestly..it was easier to just comply then argue with the bronze.

'look they have arrived before us, we're late now' D'lin pointed out as they came in for a landing beside the pair. 'But we know we haven't forgotten anything' Plexith responded before bugling a greeting to his fellow bronze as they landed

'The sun has not yet come up however' Plexith reminded his fellow bronze 'We will still be gone in good time' He concluded quite sure that they were still on a good schedule for this outing and like Scarath quite excited to be off now that they were ready to do so. 'Scarath and his are ready mine, we should be off' He relayed to D'lin.

'Hold a second while we figure out where we should be off to' D'lin told his eager dragon and greeting S'kor "Hey sorry we're a bit late" he apologized before furrowing his brow in thought while he considered S'kor's question. "I think some of the others searched the eastern part of the territory already, did you want to try the west?

'As we should' Plexith agreed to his fellow bronze. To Plexith's mind they really shouldn't even have to claim it...as bronze's such things as the best hunting grounds should just be given to them outright. Unless of course a queen was hunting..but such deference to the golds was acceptable. It was simply the way things were, and should remain.

"West it is then" D'lin confimed with a nod, he didn't even bother consulting with Plexith about taking the lead...no one ever had to ask Plexith twice when it came to such things. He always wanted to be in the lead, tiring at times...but D'lin had learned to roll with it more often then fighting against it."Ready?" He asked Skor "Lets go then" He told S'kor and Plexith who had already crouched in readiness leapt off the ground in one powerful leap, fierce downstrokes of his massive wings rising him higher and higher until they could bank off towards the west. 'Have Scarath tell S'kor that there is a stream to the west that I think might be a good place to start looking' D'lin bespoke Plexith who relayed the message to his bronze companion in swift fashion

'That is fine with Scarath and his' Plexith relayed upon receiving the other dragon's answer, The location D'lin was thinking of wasn't all that far off and of course the two bronzes made good time, an easy flight for two such strong dragons and before long D'lin was pointing out a likely landing spot to his fellow rider and Plexith was spiraling down towards the grassy clearing beside the stream.

Touching down lightly he tucked his wings in and waited for Scarath to land beside him.

'Even if they have started running they will be no match for the likes of us' Plexith stated with confidence 'We will find them and eat well' He concluded with a hint of excitement in his voice. He was hungry obviously but hunting the penned herdbeasts at the Weyr wasn't nearly as much fun as tracking them down out here.

'Try not to stuff yourself too much' D'lin told the bronze with a affectionate pat before he undid the satchels he'd brought with him and slung them over his shoulder before dismounting to join S'kor. "what do you think? I figure we can start here and work our way down the stream a bit.They say the plants like moisture and shade..so seemed like a good location to me"

D'lin watched as Plexith and Scarath took to the skies, they were certainly impressive to be seen side by side like that with this metallic hides and pretty markings. He and S'kor had certainly gotten the good end of the deal at that hatching if he did say so himself.

'Have a good hunt' He wished Plexith and felt his warm return before turning back to S'kor. "That might be more efficient " He agreed, and the stream was small enough that they could easily still chat to pass the time while they worked "You can take th side if you want and I'll cross to the other?" He suggested "Theres some stones there that I can use as stepping tones to get across' He motioned with his head a few feet downstream.

D'lin eyed the rapid waters and had to agree with S'kor - this time of year? It was likely they were downright frigid though he certainly had no desire to find out for sure "Aw...can't be any worse then jumping the stream back where I grew up" He assured the other rider before adjusting his pack and making his way across the stream with a few quick jumps...and thankfully only one close call.

Like his fellow D'lin began to search under the hanging branches of streamside bushes and shift fallen leaves aside to peer beneath them. "Do you see anything likely?" He called across to S'kor after they had been searching for a little while, kicking aside another leaf and peering down at the plant beneath. "I think I found one!" He suddenly yelled across "And it looks fairly healthy"
