ShrimpNote: Page claim!!! XDD [/sup] ” All this ruckus to find out a fire-lizard's color? You are definitely adventurous Nayza!””Oh, shush you! I like firelizards; I wanted to see his color. Not many people around the Weyr have them, much less a high rank like a brown!”Regardless of color, the female was never one to care for rank; the flitter was indeed amazing and handsome. Then again, almost anything lizard-like was considered awesome in her eyes – along with every animal in the planet. This was the girl that tried to have tunnelsnakes for pets when small: she thought one of tem might lead her to firelizard eggs. If there was one thing Nayza was, it was resourceful. ” Sorry there Nayza-girl, don't take my touchy-feely acts the wrong way hmm?””Mmm, what? Oh, that. Bah, no worries. I’m not gonna chew anyone out for touching my back.”She gave a grin, though the glitter in her eyes spoke more than her words. She had no problem with physical activity; she even liked to play rough with the boys sometimes. She enjoyed almost any activity – so long as the natural limits set by logical default were not crossed. As the Candidate spoke, introducing his flitter first and then himself, Nayza grinned. ”Pleasure to meet you both, Brun and Oisin. How long have you had him?”As the brown came over to inspect the platter of different food assortments the girl smiled, relishing the chance for a closer view as she took another bite of her fruit. She’d offered the flitter something to eat, but Oisin was already doing that – a meat piece dangling from his finger. |

Oisin followed the conversation between the two Candidates, but at the same time, his attention was diverted between the Candidates and Brun, who was snapping at the dangling meat in his fingers. Don't bite me, Oisin warned, just a little to late.
Brun snapped his sharp teeth at the meat, catching the tip of Oisin's middle finger. As the little firelizard pulled away, meat clutched in his mouth, his eyes flashed light blue, then white, expressing his worry then fright at niping Oisin.
Pulling his hand away, Oisin wiped the blood away on a piece of cloth. "Had him for three years, but it might as well have been yesterday when I Impressed him," he commented to Nayza's question. [/sup] |

”Oh, my, are you alright Oisin?”
The female had managed to notice when the firelizard nipped the other lad, watching the change of coloring in his eyes to express his emotions. The poor dear, he was probably frightened about hurting his bond. To calm Brun down lightly the female placed a piece of wherry meat in his front claws – she didn’t want to get her fingers nipped too – before turning to Oisin and demanding to see his wound.
”Come on, let me see. It’s nothing a bit of cleaning and cloth can’t heal. But we better clean it to avoid it being infected, or something. You wouldn’t want to lose your middle finger, right?”
The last sentence was said in a more jesting tone, though the female soon walked away for a moment and further into the kitchen chambers. Most of her chores had been here, and after so many turns she was basically allowed to wader where she pleased. Returning she had a piece of cloth as well as some numbweed – plus some bandages to wrap the wound. It might be small, but flitters had sharp teeth, and no doubt the bite was a bit deep. Returning she sat down again, placing the new items on the table before looking at Oisin.
”Well, let me take a look. Or would you prefer to have a fidgeting Healer look at it instead?”

Draym liked the little Brun. He watched his antics as he got onto the table and laughed a little.
When the lizard bit Oisin's finger and Nayza went to get some cleaning cloth Draym turned to the other Candidate.
" So, that happen often? It looks that way from the other bandages that you have. He's a bit energetic eh?" he smiled at the Brown and then looked back at Oisin with an eyebrow up.
" I'm sure meeting a lot of new people today!" he laughed as Nayza sat down again with her supplies and demanded to see the finger that was bitten..." Why not have her look at the others too Oisin, better than going to a Healer?"

Upon entering the kitchens, Tarin noticed they were basically empty except for a small group in a shadowy corner across the room. Odd, he thought, usually people are in here in the mornings.... Maybe there was something going on elsewhere... he didn't know. As long as it wasn't the dragon hatching... Musing absently over that, he gathered some breakfast and then headed for the one habited table.
"Hello," he said cheerfully. "Mind if I sit here?" Perched on Tarin's shoulder, Rhani chirped his own greeting, although mostly to the other brown flitt.

At the feel and smell of the meat in his front claws, Brun's worried eyes turned to dark blue, showing his contentment to the other Candidate and the meat. But when she sat, demanding to see Oisin's fingers, his eye color quickly changed to red, before lunging into Oisin's chest and clutching at his shirt. He was growling and hissing, glaring at Nayza.
Reaching with his free hand, Oisin placed it over Brun's back and wings, holding the flitt to him. "Calm down, Brun," he said strenly, stretching his other hand out to Nayza. "She won't hurt me," he said, turning his gaze on Nayza. He hated seeing Brun get angry over silly things, but he was still a bit young and it would take time for him to learn.
"He nips from time to time, but nothing serious," he stated, taking his hand off Brun for a second to remove the other bandages, then placed it on the Brown flitt's tail as he moved to sit on Oisin's shoudler.
His gaze flickered to the newly arrived Candidate with a Brown flitt. This flitt was chriping at Brun, which was causing Brun to divide his attention from Nayza, which was good. He just turned his gaze back to Nayza, wondering how many other Candidates would follow this girl's example. [/sup] |

As the firelizard became protective of his Keeper the girl giggled softly, watching the dark colored Brun and his antics, along with Oisin trying to calm him down. ”It’s ok, I know many creatures can be protective of those they like. It’s good, though, it means Brun really likes you a lot. No?” She didn’t wait for an answer, inspecting the wounds on the male’s hand. The flitter was young still, so it was natural for these incidents to happen. Still, keeping them clean and healthy was probably a good idea, it’d be bad to have a wound infection on any finger – seeing as the hands was the main thing used in all chores.
Numbweed was applied carefully, before each nip and scratch was re-bandaged by the female. Pleased with her work she grinned, before turning upon hearing the chirping of another flitter. Realizing Brun seemed busy watching something else she noticed the new arrival to their table, grinning in a welcoming manner.
”Hello. Mind if I sit here?”
”Why no, not at all! Feel free to join us! You know, Draym, you’re so right. A few sevendays ago this place was so quiet… And now it’s buzzing with lots of new candidates! It’s good to have people around again.”
The female continued to smile; she was clearly pleased with the company. Having been here for five turns straight she had seen Candidates turn into Riders, Candidates come and go, as well as Riders perish one way or another. Still, having fresh, new blood was always good – for one never knew how they were until you took the time to know the new arrivals.

Draym smiled at the little brown too. His eyes watched the approaching person closely, but when it turned out to be another Candidate!
He nodded as Nayza told him to join them...and saw the other brown lizard on the boy's shoulder.
He turned to look at her when she spoke to him, and smiled at her. " It's always good to have people around!" he leaned closer to whisper to her, " Especially a beauty like you!" and tickled her knee under the table a little.
He picked up the pitcher and poured her some more juice, and himself before offering the others some...then he reached for a meatroll.

As Draym went for a meatroll, Brun lunged and grabbed it, nearly taking the male's finger. "Brun!!" Oisin shouted, reaching out but grasping air. Brun sat in the high corner of the kitchen, nibbling on Draym's meatroll, giving short bugles around his meatroll and chriping as he ate.
"I'm sorry," Oisin said, handing over his last meatroll to Draym. "I sometimes wonder how things would be without him around, but I wouldn't trade him for my life," he said, placing the meatroll in front of Draym, thingying a grin at him not allowing him to say 'no'. [/sup] |

All of a sudden a second Brown Fire-Lizard darted into the room, quite clearly very excited as he did a lap around the room, Chirping most cheerfully before he ended up settling down on the table around which the Candidates were sat. Stealthily (or so he liked to think) the Brown stole a meat roll and wolfed it down before turning his gaze onto all those gathered round here.
The perhaps unfortunate keeper of this energetic flitt entered at a far more relaxed fashion, shaking his head at his wards antics. K'mo sped up when he saw that Arashi had gone to bother those candidates and quickly got himself a nice warm mug of Klah and a plate of meatrolls, most of which were for Arashi before heading over to the group.
'I'm sorry if he's bothering you lot, I'll take him away now if you'd like.'
And with a sharp whistle, the well trained flitt begrudgingly flew over to sit on the Blue Riders shoulder.

” It's always good to have people around!”
She couldn’t agree with him more in that, the female knew how it was, exactly, to be all alone around a Weyr with little people close to your age group. ” Especially a beauty like you!” As he had leaned closer and whispered Nayza blinked a few times, before giving a squeal of laughter as she was tickled.
”Hey! No tickling, or I’ll... I’ll bite you! I’m ticklish!”
She was half-joking, half being serious, though couldn’t avoid but let out a few chuckles as she was tickled. It wasn’t her fault tickles were one of her weaknesses, darn her sensitive skin. Soon her glass and his were refilled, courtesy to the male, and the female nodded her thanks. Another chuckle escaped her, Nayza amused at the new sight. Brun had managed to snatch the meatroll Draym himself was about to eat.
” Brun!! I'm sorry, I sometimes wonder how things would be without him around, but I wouldn't trade him for my life.”
”Mmm, he’s a bit mischievous, isn’t he? But he seems really attached to you. You’re lucky to have a flitt of your own, I wish I had one.”
Already there were two Brown firelizards on the table, and suddenly a third zoomed past and landed on the table. Apparently he seemed to think he was invisible, snatching one of Nayza’s meatrolls and devouring it, while the female suppressed her laughter. Did this Brown thought he was invisible or something? Flitters could be so amusing.
”Hey there, Arashi. You know I can see you, right? Wow, it seems Brown firelizards are common around the kitchens, no?”
” I'm sorry if he's bothering you lot, I'll take him away now if you'd like.”
”Oh no, not at all. He’s no bother, really K’mo! Care to join us for breakfast?”
So she was social and friendly... Not her fault, really. Besides, having lived in the Weyr for five turns had its good side, she was acquainted with most, if not all, Riders and residents. Holding another meatroll on her hand she broke it in half, offering one piece to the Brown while she ate the other. She did have to eat, after all.

Draym was shocked at first by Brun's "attack" but laughed a little that the brown would do something so crazy. He was also laughing at Nayza's reaction to the tickle under the table...that was enjoyable. He whispered to her again " Maybe when we aren't in so much company I'll have to tickle that knee again". He grinned at her.
" Really it's nothing Oisin...thanks." he said as he picked up the offered replacement and took a bite. " Why would you trade him for anything? He's a real fiesty critter."
He was drinking a little juice when another brown suddenly swooped in and began to eat a meatroll on the table like he wasn't being seen...Draym began to laugh.
As his owner came over, Draym motioned for him to join them. Nayza knew them...K'mo and Arashi..yes. This was an eventful breakfast. He bit into the meatroll again.

Scooting over a little, Oisin made room for the new Candidate and the Blue Rider. Suddenly, his uneventful breakfast had just turned into a malestorm of Brown flitters and new people. He was silently thanking Brun, who was returning to the table to snatch some of his fruit. "Mine, no one else's" he hissed low, nodding to his shoulder.
With his head slightly lowered in apology, Brun moved up Oisin's arm to rest on his shoulder. His long brown tail wrapped around Oisin's neck, not putting pressure on his throat, though.
As the Blue Rider sat, Oisin suddenly felt neverous and dropped his gaze to his plate. Rider's did that to him. He just couldn't help but think that all Rider's looked down on Candidates, due to some trouble when he was younger. [/sup] |

'Oh I would love to Nayza.' K'mo said cheerfully as he placed his plate of meat rolls and mug down and settled himself into the space that Oisin had so kindly made for him and Tarin, making sure there was plenty of room still for the other candidate sit.
Due to the numerous people and plentiful food, Arashi simply couldn't sit still. He did try though, bless him. But it wasn't long before he took off from K'mo's shoulder and settled himself in about as near to center of the table as he could manage. He took the offered half a meat roll without hesitation then crooned at Nayza in delight and thanks. He spun around quite suddenly, practically attacked K'mo's plate of meatrolls, sending a couple flying as he picked one up in his mouth and another in his claws before returning to center stage where he ate them quite happily.
After his flitts display of madness, K'mo noticed that Oisin seemed a lot quieter all of a sudden than he had been when the Blue rider had entered. He tilted his head slightly as he looked side long at the boy before turning to face him a little more.
'It's Oisin, isn't it?' He said with a friendly smile, referring to the boys name 'I must say you do have a fine brown there. I'd say he'd almost give Arashi a run for his money in a race.'

Lifting his head, and pushing his hair out of his eyes, Oisin regarded K'mo for a second before glancing at his Brown Arashi. "Arashi's healthy and extremely . . . . . excitable. Brun would have to work for his chance in a race," he said, turning back to nod at the Blue Rider.
His eyes turned back to his plate, feeling Brun slip from his shoulder to join the other Brown flitt in the center of the table. In a rare show of brotherly affection, Brun nudged one of Arashi's fallen meatrolls to the munching flitter, and started in on the piece of fruit he was carrying. [/sup] |
