Quarantine Boredom Vol. 1 {Open}

[Zenniel]

At this point Malin had been humming a randomly made song. She was still staring at the clouds. And yet, when Dr'ym touched her arm, she looked at him. "Oh, what is this? You want me to help?" No one ever asked her for anything... except maybe her name and to shut up.

Brangwainth lifted her head up from where it had been resting. Don't forget to be nice, Malin. Malin ignored her dragon. "You're touching me." That was said pointedly. No one ever touched Malin, and when they did touch her, it was to slap her... or something like that. "But... you should watch the clouds, too. They're pretty today."

[nick]

Dr'ym grinned at the girl. She was wierd, but she was obviously not used to being around pleasant people.

" Tell you what Malin! You help us, and even if we get nowhere, I'll come back and look at clouds with you for a while." He winked at her. He put his arm around the considerably smaller girl and looked up into the sky.

" They are pretty today Malin. Just as pretty as you are!" He threw in the compliment. He figured that she had never got to many of those.

Claudiuth came to stand beside them.

[shadowreine]

Z'war shook his head, looking more and more bemused as the argument went on. Finally, the cream rider stood up, walked over and said, loudly but clearly.

"What would you rather be, Dr'ym?" A pause. "Bored or sick? Not to mention what being sick would do to our dragons. Nobody's going to break out. That's *stupid*." He ignored Malin, who was just weird.

[Zenniel]

Z'war ignored Malin, so she ignored him. Instead, she looked Dr'ym over. This male had called her pretty. No one ever called her pretty, even if... well... she was pretty. She smiled, and said, "I would like to fly to the clouds on a day such as this." Then she smiled at the bronze. "Nice shiny for a nice man."

[Sparrow]

T'rin had been listening discreetly to all the conversations while Rhani play-fought with his much larger dragon friend. The boy agreed with the Cream rider- Z'war- they didn't necessarily need to break out. "Maybe we could have those flitt races we were talking about in here," T'rin suggested randomly. This caused Rhani to freeze in mid-strike, the Brown was very much looking forward to these races.

Flitt races, Mine? Byronth looked at T'rin curiously. You never mentioned that to me.

[nick]

Dr'ym looked at Z'war a little funny...really for ignoring Malin. She was pretty much in his arms. " I don't know Z'war. I'm just so bored, it's not like we could break out. Plotting is just something for me to do."

" It would be a good day for flying though eh, Malin?" Dr'ym asked.

He smiled down at Malin. " Thank you lovely, Claudiuth is very shiny and pretty! Well so is Krian....Ha! Ah, but your dragon matches you in beauty too! She is lovely! What is it you call her? Bran?" He grinned at Malin and squeezed her a little.

" Brangwainth isn't that bad. I like her full name as well."

He then looked over at T'rin who had suggested Fire-lizard racing, again. " Krian may be interested T'rin. Up to him though, I got my arms full with Malin." And he looked back down into her eyes, smiling.

[shadowreine]

Z'war glanced over. "Firelizard races? I have a bronze, but he's not much older than our dragons. Kind of young get." Said bronze was, in fact, asleep on the edge of Muzith's wallow.

[Zenniel]

Zenniel perked up when she heard about fire-lizard races." I don't know what you guys are doing, but Cree-" she indicated the bronze- "and Xiri-" this time the blue "-would love to have some fun. Besides, it would get our mind off of this sickness stuff. I'm sure Cree would win." This was meant as a jest, to see who else would take it. Cree and Xiri were quite probably the oldest fire-lizards here, so she didn't worry.

Akkika looked at her small Brown, and snorted. "Try getting Terra up, and you'll have one more contestant." Terra was... of course... asleep.

Meanwhile, Malin looked at all the dragons and fire-lizards. "I think racing would be a fun idea! I would get to see all the pretty colors go flying past! That's better than clouds..." then, in an undertone... "but just a little." Brangwrainth snorted, He just gave us compliments, and you turn him down!? You have some sort of disorder. Actually, the disorder was more like ADD, or ADHD, I forget which. Malin, who hadn't fully forgotten, hugged Dr'ym, and grinned. "Thank you, fellow Weyrling. Those words of yours can be very kind."

[shadowreine]

Z'war grinned. "They would be. I just doubt Mor will wake up for them...and he'd lose anyway...against all those bigger and older guys and girls, that is." He was sure Mor would grow into a fine little bronze, but right now he was as much in the eat and sleep stage as Muzith...who had fallen asleep...was. "Zenniel, your pair are lovely...that blue's a gorgeous color."

[Sparrow]

T'rin grinned at Zennial. "I'll bet Rhani could beat him." He didn't even consider that he could be wrong, as long as the flitt thought he could win then maybe he had a better chance. "All those new hatchings might have to have a contest of their own... eating or something." T'rin shrugged and sat down next to Byronth. Rhani hopped onto his shoulder, chirping excitedly.

Byronth rolled onto his back, leaving his belly open for a rub. He looked like a giant blue furless puppy with wings, his legs in the air and his belly round from recent gorgings. Rhani is looking forward to the race, the blue dragonet commented needlessly.

[nick]

" It's not only my words, lovely. I'm kind too!" he smiled and hugged her back...well more than he was already because he was squeezing her.

" Well if you want to watch the flitter races dearest Malin, then certainly we will. Together." Dr'ym nodded and grinned at her.

" Would you like to move away from the window now?"

Claudiuth had wondered over to Brangwrainth and had began to look at her contently, head turning back and forth. He looked at her through one eye and then the other...they were whirling slightly.

" Ha! It appears that Claudi likes Bran..." Dr'ym laughed.

[Kirin]

All was silent, all was dark. Quiet, peaceful, nice.

K'rin started to become all too aware of the voices all around him as he started to come to. His head felt fuzzy and clogged up, like day time naps sometimes leave you feeling. He rolled over on his bed and scrunched his eyes up as daylight hit him, causing red to flare up under his eyelids where once cool blackness had resided peacefully.

The boy sat up and rubbed his eyes with one hand before opening them and letting them adjust to the light, blinking a few times before normal sight settled in. K'rin ran his fingers through him matted hair to get the worse of the knotting out while he absent minded-ly gazed around the room. There was a bit of a kerfuffle going on amongst the bored weyrlings as they tried to occupy themselves while the quarantine was on.

K'rin got off his bed and knelt beside his sleeping dragonet, tuning the voices down until they were merely murmurings. First of all he simply looked over her dainty form and cool green hide. And he had to smile as he saw the sleeping form of his blue firelizard curled up on her back. Gently, he ran one hand over the leathery hide. He loved the feel of it so much. Although he noticed that she needed oiling again. Well that would give him something to do when she woke up. Dzilyath fidgeted in her self, quite possibly prompted by his touch.

The Weyrling withdrew from the dragonet and perched on the side of him bed and turned his attention at least to his fellows. The most prominent of the lot was quite possibly the bronze rider, Dr'ym. And it looked like he was flirting with yet another girl. He shock his head, conveniently forgetting how one he had been just as bad, if not worse. Then there was T'rin, Z'war, Zenniel and others mulling about and chatting.

------

Ahiru was making a point of ignoring the noisy weyrlings. She had found a rather interesting history of Pern to read just before they had been shut in here and now that Antheiath had been fed and oiled and was quite content she used the chance to get some reading done.

And while the young purple was content, she also wanted to socialise and took her riders reading as a chance to do so and wandered off towards the nearest Dragonet to her. Which happened to be the blue, Byronth.
Hello there. How long do you think it will be until we're allowed out again? She asked as she sat down, tilting her head. Antheiath had never had an issue with talking directly to whom ever she so desired.

[Sparrow]

Hello. Byronth glanced over at the Purple, having not really noticed her before. I don't know, but hopefully we won't have to wait too long.

T'rin absently rubbed his dragon's stomach, meanwhile whispering encouragements into Rhani's ear. The brown flitt seemed to be puffing up considerably with pride and excitement. If he lost T'rin would probably be in trouble.

[shadowreine]

Z'war grinned at his bronze. "It sometimes feels as if Mor eats almost as much as Muzith does, but I think firelizards, at least, grow up quicker. Fly sooner, too." The little one was a sleeping pile of lizard right now. Z'war loved Muzith best, of course, but he was fond of his little pet...although he suspected he'd be inserting an 's' into that word on occasion.

[Zenniel]

Zenniel grinned as she watched the pride most flitters were showing off. Xiri, for his part, huffed and stood up a little straighter. The blue was, in some sense, a green in a blue's body. Cree, for his part, curled up in Zenniel's arms and went to sleep. That lazy thing. Lupercaliath looked at Cree with disappointment, Does he always do that?

Malin, for her part, grinned down at the dragonets. Dr'ym still held her in his arms... which was a mite weird even for a weird girl like Malin. She pushed herself free of him, and dropped down so she could look at Claudiuth eye to eye. "He has very pretty eyes." Which, of course, was another compliment. Bran nodded with much feeling. But this green was going to possibly be matched to a blue or brown rather than a bronze when she flew, and Claudiuth would possibly not like the green any more than just friendly curiosity. Better not get your hopes up, little Malin.

C'rick, for his part, just rolled his eyes. He liked to watch what Malin and Dr'ym were doing.

Akkika looked at Terra, and could see that the fire-lizard wanted to fly. To show off. She snorted. It is something to do. Upendith grunted.
