Kindra was hot, sweaty and her hands were covored in Oil, currently instead of wearing a handsome dress or something that showed off her curves she was wearing a practical vest with a flowy skirt. It was still fetching but far beyong the regality Kindra usually wore on an average day. She was nothing if not a refined dresser.
Today she was oiling Suunath's riding leathers, She'd had to get a new set recently as her last ones had begun to stretch so they were stiff and new. Hence Kindra being out here oiling them. She didn't trust anyone else to do it for her, not even N'mol was allowed to do this except for while her arm had been healing, but that had been the old set, every time Suunath's straps were replaced Kindra insisted on oiling them herself, taking the care to oil and soften them so they wouldn't chafe Suunath.
Suunath on the other hand had eaten while Kindra had been fetching the oil and the new straps and was currently lying on a wonderfully warm, sunny patch of soft grass that ticked her hide if she wriggled. She was cleaning her claws while Kindra oiled. Spread out as she was, she was fairly comfortable and seemed larger than she was with her wings spread wide to absorb the sun and warm her body.

Amelia and Sharath were soaring, taking in their new home. It was cooler up in the wind but the sun beat just as hard and the goldrider was already sporting a farmer's tan when they spotted the other gold.
They hadn't had a chance to meet the other goldriders in person yet and while Sharath rumbled irately as Amelia encouraged her to land, Amelia was interested in whoever rode that gold.
When they landed, Sharath did so with a sweep of wings and bugle enough for a royal announcement. Settling down gracefully, she bowed a little as Amelia dropped off and walked the dragon length to Kindra. "Hello! We saw you from above... we haven't met yet, but I'm Amelia. New here."
Sharath, meanwhile, snorted and eyed Suunath's wallowing in the sun. She is even smaller then I am, Mine.
Amelia grimaced a bit, So? Say hello.
The Gold snorted and shuffled her feet as she resettled her wings and inclined her head to the other gold, Greetings. I am Sharath. You are?

Suuanth was alert to the arriving Gold quicker than Kindra was, bent at her task as she was and she waited for them to arrive, remembering them through Kindra that they were the newly transferred pair. Mine, we have company she said privately to Kindra then stood to greet the new Gold, dipping just a little in greeting after answering the other's bugle.
Kindra looked up, then wiped her hands on the rag she kept aside for that purpose. Kindra looked the woman up and down a little as she neared, she was taller than Kindra and it slightly annoyed her. Shoving that feeling down she put on a welcoming smile. "Junior Weyrwoman Kindra, nice to meet you Amelia" she said, offering her hand to shake, though it had a little oil on it still. "This is Suuanth" she offered up the name of her dragon with just the very slightest touch of an edge, possibly not even noticeable.
Suunath eyed Sharath when she snorted, bringing herself up into a proud bearing, wings half flared, neck curved elegantly as she looked upon yet another larger Gold though not as large as every other she remembered meeting. Greetings Sharath, i am Suunath she said, nodding her head ever so slightly in acknowledgement. What brings you and Yours here on this bright day?

"Well met," Amelia responded and quirked a grin as well - she'd been welcomed as a Junior Weyrwoman here as well. The drop of the title normally didn't bother her but when Kindra used it personally and not generally, it irked the miner. That and the edge in her tone in mentioning Suunath made her frown visible. So she's one of those, Amelia thought to herself and shrugged. All the more reason to take the competition seriously.
"Sharath is my bonded. I missed meeting you at the introductory meeting with Weyrwoman Abigail. How are you? Is there any news of the Districts? Trine's endeavour is unique among the Weyrs." Amelia was genial in her tone, though she stood proudly, her bearing confident and her smile easy and charismatic.
Sharath, on the other hand, wasn't so much. She watched the little gold posture and her eyes rolled orange briefly at the impudence. We were soaring when we spotted you and Yours. Mine wished to speak to Yours. She glanced back at her rider, speaking privately, I doubt her clutches are very good...
All I know is they're one of the twin golds from Benden. Amelia replied, a quirk of her expression bemused. There'd be a bit of a rivalry between Benden and High Reaches for a long time and it pleased both dragon and rider to see Benden no longer boasting the biggest golds of Pern.

Kindra inclined her head ever so slightly "Ah yes, the introduction meeting, i am afraid i was busy, duties wait for no woman as you might say" she replied, "As for the districts, I'm afraid here is probably little more i can tell you that you don't already know" she didn't add the fact she wasn't that interested in the matter, she wanted Benden back so didn't feel the need to get too involved in the scheme here too deeply. The fact the other woman was taller, especially in her bearing irked at Kindra, how dare this lowborn woman be just as forceful in her bearing as Kindra, higherborn, Lord Holder's daughter no less. Well Kindra would get over it in a short time as long as matters stayed civil between the two goldriders.
Suunath didn't miss the slight flash of orange in the other gold's eyes and it irritated her. She'd been pleasant enough to this new gold. She fought to keep a flash of color tinge her eyes in return. "Yes we were absent from the meeting with Brakiath's and the others that make up the running of the Weyr, we had other matters to attend to at the time unfortunately" she replied to Sharath. "And you Sharath? how are you settling in here?" she asked, still trying to be pleasant though she too, like her rider, was starting to feel a need to show her bearing, as a Gold, despite being diplomatic for the most part.
