Dizzian jerked awake, blinking blurred eyes she felt a moment of panic as the sunshaft streaming through her window was NOT where it was supposed to be! She flailed in her blankets, feeling the unfamiliar bed beneath her before a soothing presence enveloped her mind and she was staring into tiny green eyes tinged with just a hint of worry. ~ Are you alright Mine? I hunger and itch. ~
Dizzian blinked, her eyes coming into focus and a wide grin lit up her face. Courath! She flung her arms around the little green once again, something that was bound to be repeated many times over in their upcoming turns. "I'm positively perfect now that you're here!" She swung her legs out of bed and stretched. "Did you get enough sleep hun?"
~ Yes. Now I hunger and itch. ~ Her eyes whirled faster as she watched Hers change clothes and tie her hair back. She chose her usual tunic and leggings though it was obvious she planned to get wet, a decent undershirt and shorts went with her ensemble. She stood and followed Dizzian out of the barracks, keeping right at her side.
"I got it I got it" Dizzian laughed. "You're still covered in sand! That's probably the worst of it though." judging from the activity in the weyr, many of the weyrlings had already awoken and were busy tending to their new charges. Thankfully the feeding tables for the weyrlings weren't far from their barracks. Courath didn't spend long eatting, just filling up enough to make the hunger pangs take a back seat to the itchyness.
~ Now Mine! It's unbearable. ~ There was a plaintive plea in her mental voice as her eyes tinged orange. Courath had seemed such a collected and well, wise hatchling just that morning! But she was just as needy as any of the other hatchlings and when that delicate green hide itched, it ITCHED.
Dizzian quickly led them both to the lakeshore, a passive though bringing back her two flits from where they'd fled. For once they had taken her order to stay away in perfect seriousness, only returning once welcomed back. Courath eyed them but for the most part ignored as they finally reached the water. "Go on in, we'll wash that muck off before I oil you." She stripped of her outer clothing and waded in, not needing to coax the brave hatchling into the shallows. Dizzian had come prepared, already a small bag of sweetsand had been dampened and a soft bristled scrub brush hung from a strap around her wrist. "Let's introduce you to the joys of flitter care!"
The lakeshore was populated with dragons and hatchlings all getting to know eachother. Dizzian could spot a few of her clutchmates already.

Selene woke to a rather unpleasant smell. She opened her eyes and sat up with a groan. "Ugh, what is that smell?"
Good morning, Mine, that smell would be me. I told you I needed a bath, but then again your leg needed rest. We'll eat and bathe fist because I hunger, itch and smell, then I want you to go to the Healers again. Just to be safe.
She jumped at first them smiled as she pet Tessth. "Good morning to you too." Hers had a special way of making her feel guilty. She rummaged for her clothing making sure to put on an undershirt and shorts for when they bathed.
Tessth ate a healthy batch of meat only satisfied with a full stomach, before she let Selene take her to the lakes. All right, Mine, we have to go get clean now!
Selene stripped down to her underclothes and led Tessth into the water. There was such an urgency in the dragonets voice it just made her feel more guilty. "I'm sorry Tessth I should have bathed you eariler."
Tessth paused and looked at Selene, nudging her leg slightly, It was better at that time to see to your wound. It's okay, Selenemine. I am not mad at you.
She began to relax as she started to bathe Tessth finding peace with the activity.

They had stayed awake as long as they could possibly force their eyelids to stay open. They had sleepily watched as their clutchmates had trailed in pair by pair, assessing and debating about what had brought each pair together. Ky't couldn't put to words how happy she was to have another mind that worked like her's. Or rather...another layer to her own mind that was so similar. Without words or thoughts Hermith already understood her social awkwardness and shy nature. She didn't judge, she simple embraced the young woman. And she embraced her green. As was and very happily.
She woke to rolling pangs of hunger and smiled. Rolling to her side she met red eyes and her smile widened. I am sorry Ky'tmine. I tried to let you sleep. I am hungry. And I have a small itch. The new green rider frowned and shook her head as she sat up and swung her legs over the edge. "Don't lie to me silly. You itch a whole lot. But let's feed you first."
Feeding Hermith had proven to be a relatively pain free task. She was always careful about chewing the meat and never gorged herself. Ky't made sure that Hermith's hunger had been sated before she stood again and headed for the lake. As they came closer a smile broke loose on her face as she picked out Selene and her new crimson also headed for the lake. Shall we bath with Selene and my sister? I'd like that. Would you mind Hermith my love? Not at all. It will be nice to have a conversation while you work.

Courath submerged herself up to her eyes, already enjoying the water as much as her bonded did. The warm lake waves swept away the loosest of dirt as Dizzian gave the sweet sand to her flits and set to work with the brush. "Up you, let those two get to your hide." She knelt in the water, and started gently on Courath's face as both Tweaker and Spazz set to work with claws and sand on her back and wings, chittering happily to each other and to her.
~ Oh! That feels so good...~ Courath's inner eyelids closed and her secondarys fluttered with pleasure. She almost sank to her belly again before being reminded she needed to stand to be scrubbed.
Dizzian laughed. "So I've been told! Well they don't seem to mind having a new friend around. I'm really glad." Dizzian had worried about it. What if her flits took exception to sharing her? They already disliked sharing everything else.
~ Why would they? You are a part of me as I am a part of you. We are like one. ~ She couldn't turn her head as Dizz worked on it but she watched Hermith and Tessth enter the water nearby and called out to them. ~ Hello Sisters. ~ [/i She looked rather silly with her face covered in suds and two flitters crawling around on her back but Courath didn't mind. It wasn't about outward appearances after all.
Dizzian twisted her head to see who Courath had spoke to and saw K'yt and Selene. She lifted the hand with the brush and waved vigorously. "Hey, congratulations on Impressing! How are you adjusting?"

I do enjoy this, Mine. Tessth was now covered in suds as Selene worked to clean her up. Her gaze flicked over to Courath then Hermith. Hello, my sisters, enjoying your baths?
Selene laughed slightly as she looked at the mound of bubbles before her, "Well I'm glad you're enjoying yourself." She looked up as Dizzian called to her and grinned, "Thanks Dizzian, and congratulations to you too!" She looked at Ky't and grinned ear to ear, "I'm glad we all Impressed in the same clutch, I guess that makes us closer, huh?"

Hermith took her time edging into the water, not wanting to go too deep or give herself a shock from the sudden temperature change. Ky't rolled her eyes just slightly as she moved a bit closer to the other two pairs. As Dizzian called out to them her smile grew wide and wider still. "Wonderfully. I'm sure you guys feel the same so it's a bit redundant to say but....this is just so amazing! I still can't believe it!" Obviously impressing had boosted the shy girl's confidence. She reached down to the little pouch of sweet sand at her hip and began to rub Hermith down. Hello sisters. Doesn't this feel lovely?

Courath pulled her face away from Dizzian's hands and dunked it again. She shifted so she could more easily see Hermith and Tessth. ~ I am and it does! If Yours has flits they should scrub you. ~ Her wings spread as Tweaker moved beneath one. Spazz had paused in his scrubbing to chirp curiously at the two new arrivals. Courath twisted her head around to look at the blue. She echoed the little chirp at him, drawing Tweaker's attention as well. Both crawled up onto her back and peered at the two hatchlings.
Dizzian worked down to Courath's chest and forelegs, lifting each out of the water to detail the hands and claws. "Haha I guess it does! We're all Weyrlings now! " She turned to Ky't and nodded. "I know exactly what you mean. After waiting so long it's kinda surreal that she's actually here! I woke up and for a moment I feared it had been a dream. "

It is very lovely. Mine does not have flits, but she is doing well.
Thank you Tessth... "I have to admit that I jumped when Tessth greeted me. she said with a laugh. She kneeled down in the water to rub down Tessth's belly.

I will tell mine to try that next time. She fell quiet as Ky't began to carefully rub down her face. "I didn't want to open my eyes. I was afraid I'd be back in the candidate barracks." She smiled over at them as she let Hermith dunk her head to rinse. "It will take a long time before I'm used to it I think."

Courath lifted her wings higher as her two companions got back to work. Dizzian could well appreciate the normally troublesome duo now. If they were this willing to help when she was small, they'd be life savers when Courath was full grown. The two had covered her entire back and their work on her wings left Dizzian free to finish up her under belly and hind legs. She was glad dragons only needed this much attention when they were small. Feeding eight times a day, oiling three and bathing at least once would leave them no time for training, chores or sleep themselves as adult riders!
"So where do you two come from? I grew up here at Trine." She gestured to Selene. "I know I've seen you around forever it seems. You weyrborn too?" Dizz blamed her busy schedule with both her craft and candidate duties for her failure in getting to know her fellow candidates. That and the fact that she never really stayed in the candidate barracks, preferring her parents hut with the other weyrcrafters.

Selene smiled at Ky't. "I'm sure you are getting used to it faster than you think."
"Born and bred in Trine Weyr," she grinned at Dizzian moving to work on Tessth's hind legs and tail. "I've seen you around too, I'm sorry it took us this long to finally have a conversation."

A bit lower. The itch is unbearable. Ky't happily obliged, dropping down into a crouch to get a better angle at Hermith's legs and stomach. She made sure to see to every inch of the green, careful not to miss even the tinyest spot. Hermith's eyes whirled in content pleasure as the blonde scrubbed away at that infuriating itch. That feels much better. Thank you love. She smiled under the praise, her stomach doing backflips at the love and adoration held in that voice. It was a feeling she had craved for so long. Now it was all her's, and no one could ever take that away from her.
"Technically I'm also a weyrbrat. I grew up with my family rather than in the creche though. I spent some time at the Harper Hall as well." She shook her head a bit. "Its a shame that none of us have ever really spoken before." She looked to Selene and grinned. "Until recently that is."
