A Distraction? {Weyrling Lesson}

[Akira]

K'lin sighed as he made his way to the weyrling barracks. He stopped outside. Alright Bearith, let them know to come outside. He looked up at his blue dragon as he spoke, and was glad for his company through all of this. Young weyrlings please bring Your's outside for your first lesson. Bearith turned a large, swirling eye on His, waiting for his eye ridges to be scratched. K'lin smiled and reached up one hand to scratch the blue's eye ridges. Alright you, what exactly are we going to do? We can't exactly teach them to fly yet, and no one can leave the Weyr. The large blue dragon crooned at His, he knew that the man would come up with something to distract the weyrlings from the previous days happenings. Bearith had always had confidance in K'lin, that is why he picked him out of all the other candidates that had touched his egg before he hatched.

K'lin smiled and turned his attention to the weyrlings that would soon be arriving. The man's mind was going a mile-a-minute, and to those that knew him well enough, you could almost see the gears turning as he thought of something for the weyrlings to do. I wonder how well the weyrlings are at controling their legs Bear. At the sound of the pet name K'lin used, the blue dragon crooned. He himself had trouble at times when he tried to run on the ground, though, after years of practice, he has gotten pretty good at it. Not as well as they will some day Mine. K'lin nodded his head at the dragon's words. He knew that the dragonets and Their's would need something to do to keep their minds off of everything that was going on, and the stress that came with becoming a weyrling. I think I have an idea. He wasn't sure his idea would work, but it was worth a try.

Braith was a starving black hole. Yep, that was exactly what he was. Tai'n groaned as he got up from carving a carcass for the blue to eat. He never was satisfied with a full stomach anymore, and Tai'n had been woken up from his nap to feed the blue dragonet.

A-sharding-gain.

Still, it was nice to care for the dragonet. Rubbing his flit's head, Tai'n handed the bucket of meat bits to Braith. Okay buddy, eat up. The blue crooned and dove into the offered bucket. Yum, yum, yummy FOOD! Gobbling down the meal, Braith had to be scolded and made to slow down as to not get an ache. Sorry Mine, but with food that good who can blame me? The dragonet yawned wide. It seemed as if he had already forgotten about the feast's events.

Someone trying to poison the Weyr? That wasn't easily put out of Tai'n's mind. Oh come on now. Look up Mine! Everything will be fine, you'll see. Ever the relaxed and opptomistic one, Braith crooned happily and fluttered his dappled wings. They were a pale sky blue almost like silk now that they had been recently oiled too. Licking his jaws like a content feline, the blue perked his head up. By the way, we're being called for a lesson.

Widening his eyes, Tai'n hissed slightly through gritted teeth. "You couldn't have told me sooner Braith?!?" Putting away the carving knife and the now empty bucket, Tai'n grabbed up his flit and nudged Braith into moving. The blue was sluggish with his stomach full, and it took them longer than the weyrling would have liked to get there. Still, it seemed they were the first at least. Looking around, Tai'n wondered when the others would appear. After all, they're weyrling class was anything but huge. In the mean time he'd just say hello to the weyrlingmaster, who was a fellow blue rider. "Hey there. Tai'n of blue Braith here."

Akira smiled as her and Milo finished oiling Amaranth's garnet hide. The dragoness crooned happily as she turned her head to look back, at the part of her she could see, to inspect her rider, and the blue's work. She fluttered her wings in satisfaction, happy with the work that Her's and the Little One did. Akiramine, Bearith calls for our first lesson. Akira sighed, noddingher head as she finished picking up the things she had used for Amaranth's hide.

Alright Ama, Milo, let's go. She placed her hand on Amaranth's neck as they walked side-by-side. Milo chirped playfully as he flew up to land on Akira's shoulder, and wrapped his tail around her neck. She rolled her eyes as they made their way to where the Weyrling Assistant was waiting for them. Hello K'lin, Bearith. Hello to you too Tia'n and Braith. She had almost gotten the two blue's names mixed. Why do they have to be so close like that? Amaranth just shook her head at Hers' thoughts.
