Malvren Weyr was a rather cold, dark, dower place of late. With the loss of the last Weyrleader the usually sunny place had grown quiet and solemn seeming to suck out the warmth of body and soul. Riders and Dragons alike were in a sad state. Not even the recent hatching and the joy of new Weyrlings running about the Weyr could keep at bay the sorrow.

This was a state a bright, bustling, cheerful dragon like Bolth could not stand and of late the steely blue had been wracking his brain for how to fix such a problem.

Bolth, If you keep twitching your tail like that you're going to rub the hide off it for scraping it over the ground. C'rci thought to her lifemate looking up from where she was penning in her journal to smile lovingly at the blue draped over her feet where the girl sat at the edge of her bed.

Sorry Mine. It's just so sorrowful here Mine. So dark and it makes me sad. How can I stop the sad Mine? How? Bolth asked his rider curling about her legs and whining low as he tried to plot out some plan to improve his home.

Don't fret dear heart. Come on I hear they've just gotten in some fresh slaughtered herdbeasts. Why don't we go down to the cooking caverns and see about getting you a snack to cheer you up? Maybe they'll even have some bubbly pies for us flightless ones. C'rci thought to her wonderful partner with a smile. Only to frown when Bolth bolted to his feet with a bugle of joy grabbing his rider's pants in his mouth and dragging her from the bed.

To the caverns Mine! We much get treats! Give treats to everyone! I'll get the others Mine! We'll rouse the entire Weyr and chase off the gloom with good things! The blue cried out with joy letting go of his rather stunned and blinking rider who was now on the floor to dash through the Weyrling barracks bugling out his idea before streaking towards the caverns.

C'rci, knowing how found most of the people in the caverns had become of her chatty blue had a feeling that more people then she had at first guessed might be behind her handsome dragons plan. Shaking her head and chuckling she grabbed her boots pulling them on and taking off after her lifemate. By the time she got to the lower caverns she already found the chefs laughing and grinning hard at work, a few of the holders even working on putting together little wooden toys for the younger ones. There watching all the going ons was Bolth happy as can be.

"My dear heart what have you started?" C'rci asked with a laugh and a shake of her head.

Cheering up the Weyr Mine! Bolth called to her watching as some of the cavern works loaded up a few little baskets handing the bulk to C'rci to bring back to any Weyrling that wanted to help and even laughing when Bolth rose to his haunches taking one in his mouth to trot after his rider helping her give out treats as she went.

Stepping into the Barracks C'rci called out with a grin. "Riders to me! Any Weyrling willing come grab a basket and help spread some cheer round the Weyr! Line up and we'll tell where everyone will go! We need to move fast before the goodies get cold!"

BROTHERS! SISTERS! TO US! TO US! Bolth bugled in joy practically dancing in place.
