Lesson One: Feeding and Basic Care

[prissy]

(OOC: Ok seeing as we now have a Weyrling Master its time that Lessons began, also if this is not appropriate Admins delete it.)

K'nor had been pleased with the eggs and the hatchlings it was time that he had Kintrath contact all of the Dragonets. It was the day after impression they needed to get some basic information if they were to be dragonriders.

{Kintrath buddy tell the Dragonets to have Theirs meet me in the Classroom. You know the drill.}K'nor told the Bronze who with a sigh and heaving of weight got up and contacted them.

{Little Ones have Yours meet mine in the classroom.} The Bronze told all of the hatchlings he wanted to make sure he got the point across.

Little Ones have Yours meet mine in the classroom.

Dzilyath's previously drooping head shot up all of a sudden, the green becoming highly alert, listening to the message from the Bronze. This was the Green's first time having another Dragon speak to her and it made her excitable. In fact, right now, most new things made her excitable. She was an incredibly curious and enthusiastic creature. Often she said or did things that made K'rin laugh, she made him appreciate all sorts of things that he had previously taken for granted. He was seeing the world through new, fresh eyes and it was amazing.

My K'rin, My K'rin! the dragonet exclaimed as she pounced on the boy who, unfortunately for him, was bending over at the time to put something away at the time, ended up on the floor with the ecstatic dragon pinning him to the ground.

Ihavebeentoldtotellyoutogototheclassroomyouhavealessoncanicomewithyouwhatwillitbelikewhatwillyoubedoingwillothers betherewillitfunohpleasecanicomewith?
Unfortunately for K'rin, one didn't have to pause to breath when talking telepathically so there was not a single pause between any of the words. As far as he could workout there was a statement or two and a few questions in that stream of syllables that Dzilyath liked to use instead of sentences.

I have a lesson? K'rin asked as he moved the dragon off of himself. He hadn't expected them quite so soon but it made sense really. I guess I should go to that then. I'm afraid I don't know what it will be like or what I'll be doing yet. The young Green pranced around him in general excitement, begging to go with. K'rin frowned and paused, pretending to think it over to prolong the suspense for his beloved. I don't see why you shouldn't. I'd rather have you with me so I can keep an eye on you. K'rin soon found himself on the floor again, Dzilyath nuzzling his face with he wedge shaped head as she had him pinned again out of joy.


Antheiath was a whole lot more relaxed about the whole matter. In a very calm manner she told Ahiru: Mine, there is a lesson. We should go now to make sure we aren't tardy.
The main reason she wanted to go so soon was because she too was curious about the whole affair but was not one for such displays as the green was. As the purple passed the Green, she could not help but give her an 'Oh dear' side long look as she pinned her rider.

Ahiru was extremely glad that her Dragon was more reserved than some of the others were. She asked a lot of questions, but had never been so bold as to jump on top of her. It didn't seem to be in the purples nature. They reached the classroom first and loitered a bit until some of the others appeared or the Bronze rider acted.

Ahiru made a point of ignoring the Male greenrider when he entered. She wasn't sure how he could stand having such an active a dragon who found no problem in jumping on him. Or in fact, that she was a green. Weren't men supposed to have proper male dragons?
(She does not like K'rin =p)

Muzith bounced towards the classroom like a puppy, his poor rider trailing behind him.

"Hold up," Z'war called after the cream, trying not to laugh.

But if we're late, we might miss something!

Finally, Z'war caught up just as his dragon entered the large classroom area...large because it had to hold young dragons as well as their riders. He had been warned to stay close to Muzith whenever the young dragon was awake. He found a position kind of in the corner. Muzith crouched next to him, wings spread a little and practically perched on his talons. The only time he was still was when he was asleep...and sometimes not even then.

Dr'ym was relaxing on his new weyrling bed, absently stroking both Krian, his bronze fire-lizard, and Claudiuth, his Bronze dragon.

Suddenly Claudiuth sat up and poked his rider with his head. Mine, I was just told that we have a lesson in the classroom...we should go now.

Ok Claudi. Dr'ym got up and told Krian to stay put. Hmm...maybe he should put on a shirt? He wiggled into one and, hand in pocket while the other was on Claudiuth's head, they walked side by side out of the Barracks toward the classroom.

This may be interesting. Dr'ym said as he spotted Ahiru and her Purple. Claudiuth rumbled his agreement, he wanted to know what a lesson was exactly.

[Kirin]

Ahiru had found a spot at the back of the room, leaning against the wall. One hand was leisurely scratching Antheiath's eye-ridges which drew a croon of pleasure from the purple. She kept her blue-violet eyes half on the door in order to watch the people who entered and trying to gauge whether they were worth her effort talking to. She had already deemed the Greenrider not so. Then came the Cream rider. He seemed interesting, and with a wonderfully rare, new coloured dragon. The Cream was a pretty beast.

Ahiru pushed herself away from the wall and walked towards the door in general, considering going over to Z'war and to talk to him but he went straight for the corner which was...odd. In her opinion at the very least. But then came one of the boys who had impressed a Bronze. From what she had seem of him he was a bit of a flirt. Well. She might as well fill the time between now and when the lesson started by talking to him, if she absolutely had to.

'Hi there... Dr'ym, isn't it?' She said with a smile as she approached the boy. 'I'm Ahiru and this beauty is Antheiath.'

[nick]

As Dr'ym and Claudiuth entered, Dr'ym saw that Z'war and his Muzith were there already as were K'rin and his Dzilyath...and the Purplerider. She may be worth a flirt, what do you think Claudiuth?

That she is coming to talk to you.

Dr'ym smiled at her as she approached, and at Claudiuth's comment.

" Yes, I am Dr'ym, and your dragon is beautiful...but why not? Only a beautiful dragon for a very beautiful girl, Ahiru. My Bronze is Claudiuth by the way." He grinned at her.

[Kirin]

Ahiru's smiles widened at his comments and she dipped her head in appreciation, an action that would almost make her appear to be coy.

"Why thank you Dr'ym." She said looking up at him through lowered lashes.

"Claudiuth is a very fine looking dragon. It seems that the Dragons seem to pick those who were their equals in looks." She gave a quiet chuckle as she added "Maybe that is how they go about picking their riders."

[shadowreine]

Z'war felt eyes on him. The pretty purplerider. He finger-waved at her, but did not approach. Academic classes...of any kind...intimidated him a little, and he did not plan on putting himself where the teacher would notice him. The other hand remained on Muzith's neck.

[nick]

Dr'ym acknowledged any one of the other weyrlings looking over with a nod.

Now it was Dr'ym's turn to react.Ha! Claudi, someone who flirts back instead of just prettily blushing!

His cheeks reddened a little at her remark. " Thank you love, but surely the ties go farther than looks alone?" His smile widened as, moving as one being it seemed, he leaned against the wall and Claudiuth hunkered down next to him, eyes ever on the Purple dragon...whirling a light blue.

Hers is very pretty too...I like them.

Dr'ym looked down at the little dragon. He smiled and looked back at Ahiru. " It seems that Claudiuth likes you and Antheiath."

His eyes were twinkling.

[Sparrow]

Byronth was beginning to grow annoyed of his Mine's shy brown fire lizard's shy attempts at meeting its new cousin. He could sense the flitts excitement, but it seemed overpowered by a fear of something or other. He did nothing to comfort the brown though, it could figure out how to greet a dragon in its own time.

Little Ones have Yours meet mine in the classroom.

Byronth's head snapped up in surprise, he had never heard the voice of another dragon before. T'rinmine! He stood and nudged T'rin, who was lying half-asleep on his couch. Gently at first, but then more vigorously until the boy fell onto the floor.

"What?"

A dragoncall, Byronth replied seriously, We are to go to the classroom. The young Blue hoped his rider knew where this classroom was, for he had no idea. T'rin sighed.
Hurry Mine! Byronth gave His a hard shove towards the outside of the weyr. Rorth gave an anxious squawk and leapt onto the boy's shoulder.

"Off we go then," T'rin said, giving the dragonet an annoyed glance. Byronth's eyes whirled a warning yellow and he started off, giving T'rin the occasional bump to keep him moving quickly.

Upon arriving at the classroom, T'rin noticed a few other weyrlings there, but overall it appeared he wasn't late at all, despite Byronth's worries. See, we're here in plenty of time!

Byronth gave his tail a proud flick and started across the room to where a cream-colored dragonet waited with his new Mine. T'rin followed, not feeling much choice in the matter. "Hullo," he said cheerfully, leaning against the wall. Rorth wrapped his tail around T'rin's neck and looked anxiously around the classroom. "Do you know what we're going to be doing here?"

[shadowreine]

Z'war shook his head. "Don't know yet...I'm guessing it's some kind of orientation class as it's our first one."

Muzith flicked his tail and regarded Byronth with some curiosity. Hello he sent to the other dragon with tendrils of inquisitive thought.

[.::.Shrimp.::.]

Mine. NayzaMine, we are being called for lessons.
{We are? Alright, I will go to you now, and then we can go to the lessons.}

Leaving the kitchens and her chores behind, the female reached her Maryth. The Purple had been oiled early morning while she slept, and only now had she been awoken by the Bronze that called them to their lessons. She was beginning to hunger too. {Don’t worry, love. I think we’ll be feeding you at the lesson today.} Reassured that, ys, she would soon get food, the Purple hatchling crooned lovingly, following besides the seventeen turn old. She soon arrived, watching the large amount of people present, before spotting Dr’ym, already busy flirting it seemed.

{Men... Come, love.}

The Purple followed besides Nayza, though she did not approach the Bronze Weyrling. No, he was busy flirting – plus he was nothing of hers, and she wasn’t exactly interested in an overly flirty male. Sure, it was amusing, but that was it.

---

Blue Ratumaith and K’zo were the next to arrive, the albino Weyrling and former Weyr drudge more than glad to take place in an empty corner with his dragon. He wasn’t exactly the most social butterfly among the Weyr.

---

”Lutinusth is so much better than that thing!”
“H’nuk, drop it. They’re both Bronzes. And, in any case, Valentinth hatched first – so he’s the first born.”
“So?! Lutinusth is the biggest of them all.”
“Actually, I believe the gold is.”
“Not by much! He’s almost as big as her!”
“You do know size isn’t the only thing that matters, right?”
“Of course it is! Only the biggest are the strongest!”
“Whatever...”

Hopefully H’nuk would, one day, understand that just being big didn’t meant being strong. But for now the brat was young, and he surely wouldn’t listen. Maybe these lessons would, eventually, change his way of looking at things. They arrived to a room full of Weyrlings and, even through H’nuk’s bickering, still stayed together. It was like a love/hate relationship between the two siblings.

[nick]

Dr'ym was busy flirting. Claudiuth, however, seemed to have better judgment...perhaps he just knew that the other Purplerider that had just entered was someone His knew. Whichever it was, as soon as his eye caught them, his head snapped around to look intently at them.

Dr'ym didn't notice, he was talking to Ahiru. He did notice that others were coming in, but he didn't see who the other Purple's rider had been. Yet Claudi began to move over to the other ones.

Dr'ym looked over, and stopped breathing. Nayza! She was so much more vibrant with a dragon of her own. " Ah, excuse me Ahiru...I must atend to something else. So must Claudiuth it seems." He excused himself from her distractedly and wondered over to Nayza, looking from rider to dragon.

" Hey there pretty Nayza. And who might your very beautiful Purple lifemate be?" Dr'ym asked, before blushing at his gawking. " This Bronze bandit here is Claudiuth...or for you, you can call him Claudi...I don't think he would mind."

How is Hers such a pretty color?


" I don't know Claudi, I don't know." He absently said aloud as he settled down on a table top near the other pair. Claudiuth was staring intently at the Purple dragon, rumbling every now and then.

[.::.Shrimp.::.]

”Hey there pretty Nayza. And who might your very beautiful Purple lifemate be?”
”Oh, hello there Dr’ym. There was no need for you to come. After all, you seemed to be enjoying the attention of that PurpleWeyrling over there...”

It was clear the female wasn’t as glad to see him as he had been to see her. Still, the Bronze had no fault over the matter, and with a friendly grin the female bent to scratch his eyeridges softly. Certainly she was being much more friendly with Claudiuth than with Dr’ym himself. Maryth herself moved over to inspect the other dragonet, tilting her head softly. He was so big compared to her!

”Well, hello there Claudi! Aren’t you a gorgeous Bronze? Yes you are, yes you are! Come here, Maryth, come meet Claudiuth!”
Claudiuth? How come he’s all yellow-ish and green-ish, NayzaLove?
{That’s a different shade of Bronze, likethat one over there is more reddish, and that one is a pure Bronze color.}
Oh... And why is he bigger?
{‘Cause he’s a Bronze, darling.}
Are Bronze better than me, Mine? Would Nayza want a Bronze instead?
{Nonsense, dear. You are the only one for me, my beloved Maryth.}

The Purple dragonet crooned in relief, lavishing the attention Hers gave her as she stroked her head and scratched her eyeridges. Yes, she had chosen right with her Nayza, she was the only one for her. Forever.

Little Ones have Yours meet mine in the classroom.

Cupith perked up from where he had been sitting beside Dev, who had been up early to eat and had oiled the cream while he sluggishly woke. His rose-cream hide was handsome, slightly feminine but suiting him beautifully. He nudged Dev from where he could from the floor, her leg as she sprawled across the bed. Dev, Kintrath calls us to lessons

Dev sat up with a sigh, and slipped off the bed, walking out with Cupith following. Her dark hair was down, and it made a messy brown halo about her head. Her eyes were keen, dark olive. Her clothing was simple, a loose brown shirt and practical, scarred wherhide pants. Nothing in her clothing was remotely feminine, and it was likely that someone would mistake her for a boy.

She slipped into the classroom, hoping not to be seen, though her height made that unlikely. She slouched her soulders, and wove her way to the back, hiding herself from attention.

Why do you not wish to be seen my Dev? You are beautiful, and none dare insult you with me by your side.[/b][/color]

Call it habit Cupith. I just don't like to be noticed.

Cupith shook his head, unable to fathom her logic. Dev-love, being noticed is unavoidable. People are always going to talk, so you might as well give them something to talke about

Dev turned to give her cream an astonished look. He was usually right in cases like this though. Sighing she gave him a smile and straightened up, her dark eyes warm as he butted her hip. Love you Cu. Even when you annoy me.

Love you too Dev. Cupith replied, his eyes whirling a gentle blue-green.
