OOC:Walk with the animals, sing and dance and play with the animals!



Whether it was because the candidate master figured that a Beastcrafter apprentice was better suited to doing general chores up with the weyr’s herders every once in a while or if she’d just happened to get lucky, Breanna seemed to land the chore of tending to the herdbeast quite often.

During winter, when the rain and the wind pounded mercilessly on them all, she wasn’t fussed on the job, but, today when the sky was clear and the day a pleasant sort of warm, she couldn’t be happier.

He dragons themselves seemed to have a routine when it came to feeding on the herdbeasts, and, while she herself had no idea about when those times were, she seemed to always land the chores when there was nary a dragon in the sky. Probably one of the few downsides to the chore itself.

As it was, since the dragons, and, quite frankly the weyrfolk used the herdbeast as…w ell… a food source, one of her many duties when she was up there was to move through the herd and watch for any signs of sickness. That part of healing at least – she knew how to do well. She just couldn’t do much about it when she found out one of them was indeed ill.

So, with a whistle and a hop in her step, she started forth, running gentle hands along each beast she passed to search for any severe injuries that may become serious infections, and any signs of disease or illness.

"Oh shush you wherry brain! I'm not hurting you!" Breanna scolded, raising her hand and placing it on the Herdbeast's rump in an attempt to settle it as she ran teh fingers of her other hand across a recently healed gash in its back leg.

The herdbeast in question, however, was much to occupied with the potential threat of a blue dragon to be concerned with the girl right by him and rather aggressively kicked her leg out with an angry bellow, forcing Breanna to let go of the creature before gallabanting off to seek safety with the rest of the herd.

It was about this time that Breanna, shoulder sore from trying to hold the beast back, saw a hand pop up above the groupd of animals and heard her yell out.

It was at this point that Breanna actually noticed the restlessness of the herd as a whole - some herdcrafter she was - and, frowning, she made her way through the herd to see if she could figure out what the problem was.

Needless to say she was surprised to see that it was someone younger then her who had told her to come out. "Oh, hello there!" she said with a grin, holding her hand out in greeting. "You here to help out with the herdbeasts as well? They're a bit antsy right now, but they should settle down in a bit. Again a grin, and a helpless shrug, there were dragons living right beneath the earth the herdbeast stood on after all, why wouldn't they be antsy on occasion.

Breanna's face reddened as she took in the other's facial expression, followed soon after by verbal confirmation of her error.

Bowing her head apologetically, she went to say something when Wykla introduced her two firelizards. "Oh wow! How long have they been with you?

And then of course with a swirl of blue wings the dragon that belonged to the rider before her swooped over them - causing her to duck, despite knowing that the dragon wouldn't hurt her... Or at least, hoped she knew - and Breanna was reminded once more of her unintentional insult.

Going slightly green as she realised the blue had managed to pick the exact herdbeast she had been treating moments earlier and, wanting to look away but not able she watched as he silenced the braying beast quickly and moved off to feed.

Ahh, sorry about not giving you credit where it was due dragonrider. She started, bowing her head again even as she tried to keep eye contact. she had no idea what curtesy demanded of her. after a small pause, however, she added, "My name's Breanna"
