Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hekate had in a few short moments gone from lowly drudge to bonded to one of the rarest dragons in the Weyr and in a stands impression no less. With this game both an upgrade in status and slight downgrade in rooming as she would no longer have the privacy of her own room without the risk of a Weyrlingmaster barging into it.

It was worth it though as Hekate awoke to rather insistant. Rider and dragon having slept themselves out into the early dawn of the next day after the hatching. Cracking amber gold eyes open she spied Devith where he sat by her bed eyes whirling with his own brand of dark lit love.

"Good Morning King of mine." Hekate greeted her lifemate with a chuckle, Devith preening slightly under the compliment. Of course he was a King! He was far above the measly rank of some prince! Put right now his hide was darkened with dirt from the sands and he would not be out and about looking like a pauper.

This feast will be a mostpleasing celebration of our glory. We must bathe Mine. I itch. Praytell Mine what can be done for it? For I demand that we shine for such an occasion. The dusky silver crooned his tone commanding as Hekate stretched and cast her eyes about the room reaching to the shelf by her bed to snatch up a container of oil.

"I agree. We'll see about getting that muck off of you in the lake. I see dragons bathing there all the time. Then King of Mine we'll see to oiling your hide until you put the bronzes to shame." Hekate replied with a grin, she'd have to fetch some of her things from her old room on her way back, for now though her dirty clothes from yesterday when stripped down a little would be fine for bathing her glorious silver as she reached a hand out running it over Devith's head and tracing his markings with a loving caress. The action rising a low croon from the hatchlings throat.

This idea pleases me. Then youwill dress. I demand nothingless of perfection for such an event! With this said dragon and rider cut a slow pace towards the lake shore. Despite Devith's pride Hekate would not risk the little silver over taxing himself and managed to deflect any injury to his pride by stating that a slow gait allowed him to employ more grace and show off his handsome form for all to see in the early morning light.

Hatteth was in fact not the dragon to show, but another. Coming up in a slow trot the dusky marked silver eyed the crimson in the lake with distaste.

Mine? What is this female doinghere? Devith asked settling himself down on the pebbled shore to take in the situation making sure to shift himself to properly show off his sleek dark marking. In truth the little walk had tired him, but he was far from admitting such things.

"It appears she's out for a swim." Hekate replied her tone light with humor as she sat down beside Devith shifting her arm to let her lifemate rest his head in her lap. "Though she isn't disturbing the shallows to over much, but if she bothers you we can move elsewhere." She suggested watching as Devith's eyes whirled with thought a small grin tugging across her lips. She doubted Devith would pass up an audience.

Come Mine. Weshall be admired. The silver finally urged after some thought rising with a predatory grace to stalk into the shallows where he sat down to stare expectantly at his rider.

Chuckling lovingly at her life mate Hekate paused to quickly pin up her pants and skirt only stopping to kick off her shoes and wade in after him. Pulling a clean rag from her pocket she stared at it with disapproval. Devith deserved better then this, she'd get him some proper cleaning brushes and some scented sand though she was fairly certain the Weyr provided some of that. Still her sudden vault from lowest of the low to near the head of the pack had left her little time to collect such things and unlike the others candidates she was woefully equipped equipment wise to care for a dragon like Devith.

A soft disdainful snort brought Hekate back to reality as Devith nosed her hands his eyes whirling with love and a look of understanding equally mixed with as much distaste for their situation as she held.. It willdo for now Mine. We will acquire betterthings soon. Very soon. Fornow attend your King so I might shine! Then together wewill blind them with our greatness. Devith assured her spreading his wings to allow his sides to be scrubbed letting out a low croon when Hekate grinning leaned over and pressed a little kiss to the tip of his darkened nose.

"Well then hold still Devith and I'll see to your sides." Hekate assured him dipping the rag into the water and carefully running it along his side. After a few moments the pair seemed to fall into a routine as a soft hummed tune rose up from Hekates throat while she worked, the dirt and dust streaming away from Devith's hide. Pleased with his improved beauty the dragon twisted this way and that to both allowed Hekate better leverage to scrub and equally show off his stunning appearance to any eyes that might be watching.
