The Day After - Hasth's Post Flight{Akira}

[Zara]

Cass opened her eyes slowly. It was the morning after the Flight. Cassondra wasn't entirely certain what to make of the outcome. She felt a little bit awkward. Yes, she had hoped for this outcome, but... She hadn't counted on feeling any awkwardness about it later. Why should it change anything, though? It was normal for these kinds of things to happen in the Weyr. But, perhaps, it came from the fact that Cass was hoping for more than just a night after her dragoness' Flight and then going back to everything in some part of her girly heart. But that was impractical, and she told herself so as she sat up slowly, holding the furs up to the base of her neck, looking over at the man who had won Hasth's Flight. A'lik. Moruth and Hasth were curled up together near Hasth's couch, which was probably not as big as it needed to be fore the two.

Cass got up slowly, trying not to wake A'lik and went to change, getting dressed quickly and quietly. She sat on the edge of the bed, brushing out her blonde hair, still quiet. Moruth -had- won. She recalled the conversation she had had with A'lik that day. She hoped that she hadn't influenced Hasth's choice in any way. She didn't think she had. Moruth had simply tried so hard. That was why he had won. Hasth had seen him as being the one who was the most daring. The bravest.

She wondered if Hasth would choose someone else next time she flew, but that thought didn't stick around for long. There was no need to be worrying about something that was a ways into the future yet. Things were best taken a step at a time. And the next step she was going to be taking was trying to figure out what came next.

She knew Hasth would soon start to become egg heavy and clutch some time in the future. She knew that the Green was also going to be more herself, which was one worry off her shoulders. She also knew that she would have to figure out how she would act around A'lik. Quite simply, she could return to their simple and easy friendship. That is if that was what he wished to do, which she didn't doubt at that moment that that would be it. After all, she told herself again, she was being ridiculous to think too much of it. This was a Weyr. A Hold born girl such of herself, though, she still read a lot more into these things than she probably should...

[Akira]

A'lik slowly blinked his eyes as he started to wake up. Finally realizing that he was alone in the bed he quietly sat up. He watched as Cassondra brushed her blonde hair. He smiled as he watched, leaning his head on his hand as he did so. Good morning. His voice was still a little heavy with sleep, and there was a small glint in his dark brown eyes. He shifted, and sat up, making sure to keep himself covered from the waste down, though there really was no reason to since Moruth had won Hasth's flight. I won the flight A'likMine. The tired voice of his dragon had the man chuckling. I know you did big guy. He smiled as he gazed into the sleepy gaze of his dragon.

((Sorry it's so short, I'll do better next time >.<))

Cassondra turned slowly and smiled at him. "Good morning, A'lik... Congratulations." She grinned, looking at him, her eyes shining. She leaned forward and gave him a short, gentle kiss. "What do you think of this outcome...?" She asked, her tone almost a bit teasing.

Good morning... Hasth's tone was very tired. But Cass wasn't surprised at that. she had flown so hard and so fast and long yesterday. She grinned, turning towards the bright Green dragoness. "You flew very well, Love," Cass said aloud to her dragoness, partially for the benefit of A'lik...

She bit her lip for a moment before letting it go and turning back towards him. She raised an eyebrow, a teasing kind of expression coming across her features. "So... Back to the question I just asked before I was distracted... What do you think of this outcome?"

She hoped it was a pleasing outcome to him too. She hoped that he'd just tell her what she wanted to hear, but that didn't mean he would or that he should. Especially if it wasn't true. She still hoped though, and why shouldn't she?

Hasth lifted her head and turned an eye that swirled lovingly on her new weyrmate and then to her Rider, giving a soft croon. She was happy. That mattered, didn't it? She would think so. She lay back down, her eyelids sliding closed as she pretended to go back to sleep.

Cassondra was still sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes searching A'lik's. She noted the glint in his eye, but was at a loss as to what it might mean.

[Akira]

A'lik nodded his head when Cassondra told him good morning. Thank you, and congratulations to you too. His voice held a very slight teasing tone to it as he spoke to the woman. He leaned forward, and returned the woman's kiss. I like it...though...I think we should probably move to my room so that the dragon's...and ourselves, could have more room. He didn't mind being in the green rider's weyr, but he did have to admit, was smaller than the one that was built for a brown. You flew magnificently MyMate. Moruth crooned as he spoke to the green dragoness. His wings still ached from the strain he put on them the day before, but he was glad that he did.

That she did, that she did. He smiled and then turned his attention back to the woman who was still sitting at the foot of the bed. He raised both of his eye brows when he saw the look on her face. Hmmm...wouldn't you like to know. He stuck his tongue out while he teased the woman. Truth be told he loved this result, though he was starting to wonder what she wanted to hear from him. Moruth rustled his wings before placing one large, light brown wing protectively over his mate. He did feel a little cramped lying on such a small couch with a green beside him, though, he wasn't about to get up and move either.

[Zara]

Cassondra paused, blinking and really thinking about his earlier words. "Wait... Are you saying what... I think you are?" She looked around briefly. "It is rather small... Especially for a Brown like Moruth," she looked at him again, a grin spreading over her face, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Thank you, MyMoruth... She gently nuzzled him, crooning softly. She was very happy with this. Very happy indeed. The clutch, however, that she would soon have on the sands, was not in her thoughts at that point in time.

She frowned, but couldn't help but laugh, especially when he stuck his tongue out at her. She suddenly became serious again, though it was hard to keep the smile that threatened to pull at her lips from showing. "Yes. I would like to know what you think. Of course, I am starting to guess..." She grinned and stood, her walk smooth and graceful as she walked back to put her brush away. She started to braid her hair, pulling it over her shoulder. She wasn't particularly gentle as she made sure it was pulled tight. She didn't even think to wonder if he knew what she meant or not. She, being Cassondra, just assumed that he did.

[Akira]

A'lik raised a questioning eye brow when the woman asked him her question. What question do you think I'm asking? A smile spread slowly across his lips when he saw her blushing. He never really did understand why women blushed, but he thought it was cute whenever Cassondra did. Moruth crooned happily, and curled up around his mate in the small room, glad that he could sleep off the wear and tear of the day before. A'lik liked it when Cass laughed, especially when he was the one that made her happy, made her laugh. A frown crossed his face when he saw Cassondra get serious again. That was a side of her he didn't really want to see much off, it wasn't very fun.

Well, if you want to know so badly, guess. He smiled as he teased the woman. He watched as Cassondra walked over to put her brush away. He smiled as he remembered the events of the night before. If Cassondra could see what was going on in his mind, he believed she would turn a brighter shade of red than anyone has ever seen before, and she would probably smack him too. You should leave your hair down. His voice was light and playful as he spoke, with a hidden undertone that he had masked very well, though, if anyone was paying extremely close attention, they would notice that the undertone was one of love, and affection.

[Zara]

Cassondra looked over her shoulder at him, giving him a little playful smirk. "Oh... nothing~" she said, her voice somewhat singsong-ish and teasing. She was almost enjoying this too much. She was still ever so slightly red, though, even as she was playing around with him.

Hasth moved to readjust herself against Moruth, hiding her face under Moruth's wing. She felt safe. She had her great big Brown to protect her, and she was very comfortable there. She gave a muffled croon as she curled up a little bit tighter than she already was with Moruth.

"You are more than happy with this... Because... Well... I rather hear you say it." She was still braiding her long blonde hair, which actually, naturally fell in blonde ringlets down around her shoulders. She smiled and looked over her shoulder. "You really think so, A'lik?" She already had it tied off at this point. She walked back over to him and sitting down on the bed next to him, pulling her legs up on the bed and sitting so that she was sitting on her hip, legs together, her hand supporting her. She lay down slowly laid down so she was facing him, looking at him with a certain light and expression, one that showed... love. Something that, if you knew her well enough, you would see, but if you didn't, you could miss it all together.

She gently reached over and brushed her hand gently from his temple to the his jaw and moved closer to him and gently kissed him gently and briefly.

[Akira]

A'lik smiled at the look that Cassondra gave him when she looked over her shoulder. He heard the way her voice sounded like she was singing, and wondered if he had caused her current happiness. He turned his head to look at the two dragons when he heard Moruth's wings rustle. He smiled kindly when he saw what had caused the noise. Apparently Hasth has made herself more comfortable under Moruth's large brown wing. Well, I wonder if their just going to sleep all day. His voice was light and happy as he spoke. He couldn't help but wonder what it was like to be a sleeping dragon. Then again, he thought he liked his human life better than the thought he would like a life of a dragon.

A'lik turned his attention back to Cassondra when he heard her talk. What am I more than happy with Cass? He smiled and arched his brows as he spoke. He wasn't exactly sure what she ewas trying to get him to say, but maybe he would be able to get her to tell him, but he wasn't going to count on it. He nodded his head in response to her question. He hadn't seen the woman with her hair down very many times before, and he liked how it looked. He was actually starting to wonder why she never left it down more often, but then his attention was drawn back to reality when Cass came to sit by him on the bed. He watched as the woman made herself more comfortable by laying down on the bed. It looked to A'lik like Cassondra had an expression of love on her face, but then again, he could be mistaken after all. He smiled, and bent down to kiss her back, and was glad that the two of them were finally together.

[Zara]

Cassondra looked at the two dragons and muffled a laugh. "They very well might. They both flew very hard yesterday. And Moruth did so well and flew so hard..." Her tone was affectionate. She loved to seem them so happy together. We may sleep at least most of the day, Hasth said to both Riders and Moruth, her voice groggy and content. She was very pleased with her choice and she was very pleased with the idea that he was -her- mate. She gently nuzzled Moruth's side again and then lay her head back down sleepily.

She grinned at him. She hummed, teasing him as she lay there next to him. "Well, if you think I should wear it down..." She pulled the tie on it so that it came loose and brushed her fingers through it to separate it and, since she couldn't shake it out for the moment, it worked pretty well.

She still didn't specify what he wanted him to say to her. But, then again, she wanted him to say it without being prompted. "Maybe we should move sometime before we get to sleep tonight... Make things more comfortable. Including for the dragons, even though they seem pretty comfortable for right now..." She was using her hand to support herself again as she leaned into him, her head against his shoulder.

She was almost amused by the fact that how she said "the dragons" almost sounded like she was talking about children. She was tempted to kiss him again, but this time, she didn't. Not at that particular moment.

Cass bit her lip slightly. "Do you know what I mean yet... Hmm...?" she asked, debating whether or not to give him a hint. She was rather enjoying this game. She bit her lip slightly, her blue eyes shining, mischievous and... loving all at the same time.

[Akira]

A'lik nodded at Cassondra's words. The two dragon's did fly hard the day before, and he knew they deserved a good long rest. The large brown dragon crooned sleepily when he heard his name being spoken. Moruth re-adjusted his wing so that it was protectively covering Hasth. He moved his tail so that it was more comfortably wrapped around his mate before falling back to sleep. A'lik smiled lovingly as he watched Cassondra tease him as she pulled her hair out of it's braid. He reached over and softly threaded his hand through her blonde hair.

A'lik wrapped his arms around Cass when she leaned into him. He chuckled a little when she said they should move before they went to bed. Maybe I do, maybe I don't. His voice was deep, and sensual as he spoke to Cass. He could tell that she was having fun with this, and wondered how long she would continue to play with him. Though, his mind started to wander, he quickly pulled his mind back into reality before it could go too far, and made him get slapped for it. A'lik's dark brown eyes slowly moved over the woman laying next to him as the memory of the night before re-entered his mind once again.

[Zara]

Cassondra grinned. "Oh... Well... Would you like a hint... Or would you like me to tease you a little more...?" She looked him in the eye for a moment then laid her head down. "Our dragons are going to sleep all day... But what are we going to be doing?" she asked him, raising one eyebrow. She really wasn't sure what she wanted to do, but it was normal for her to get up and get ready for the day already.

She decided she liked the feeling of his hands running through her hair. She wasn't entirely certain why, but she did. "I can either give you a big hint... or a little one. If you want it, anyways." She just leaned against him, his arms wrapped around her.

Hasth quickly fell asleep after Moruth readjusted himself around her, giving a happy little croon. Cassondra grinned. She couldn't help but think it was... was... well, sweet. That was the word that came to mind first off. They were sweet. She was so tiny compared to him. So, so tiny. She grinned a little. "Morruth is so much bigger than Hasth." It was just a statement. She hadn't really thought about it before... Not until now, after seeing them curled up on the Green's small couch. He was way too big for it. It would definitely be good to move to A'lik's Weyr... for the comfort of all of them.
