Winter -3 - 2 C | 26 - 35 F Fort is already home to snowfalls, though early in the month they fade away when the sun rises. As the month progresses, more snow stays on the ground, ending up with several feet of snow before the month is over. The areas around homes and populations has the snow shoveled away or trodden down. Icicles attached to Weyr ledges prove some danger and are routinely removed. Ista Boundaries: Winter, 9 - 21 C | 48 - 69 F Generally warm enough to go about without a jacket on, Ista has low humidity but high chance of rain, generally in the form of vicious afternoon thunderstorms. The storms wash away any bite of heat the day had, and leave it feeling fresh for the night. The days are short, but grow bright quickly and the afternoons seem to be particularly short when heavy thunderstorms roll in and cover the sky. Telgar Boundaries: Winter, -5 - 0 C | 23 - 32 F Bitterly cold, with icy winds constantly flowing down from the mountains. Freezing rain is almost constant; the sky always a murky grey and the ground slippery with slushy refrozen ice. The days are extremely short, with the nights dropping a good number below the daily average. Icicles attached to Weyr ledges prove a major danger, and are checked upon every day, with anything bigger than a fist being removed. Summer 27 - 38 C | 80 - 100 F Light breezes down from the mountains tot he North keep the temperature comfortable, even when the sun can bake an egg on the edge of a weyr. Sunburn is common. Ista Boundaries: Summer, 34 - 43 C | 93 - 110 F A very dry, dusty heat. Little to no rain, causing more than some to worry about the drought not breaking and the rest of the Isle being at risk of fires. Many seek the depths of weyr, hold or hall during the midday and early afternoon heat. Telgar Boundaries: Summer, 26 - 35 C | 79 - 95 F Muggy, sticky and generally just plain humid. Thunder storms are regular occurances, often happening in the early afternoon or evening, with heavy rainfall before drying off sometime in the night. Mornings are usually crisp, but warm up swiftly. Ista Boundaries: Season, Low to High Telgar Boundaries: Season, Low to High [[Update slowly in progress because ThistleProse is a slackarse :3 lmao ]] North: Early Spring | South: Early Autumn −1.9 C to 4.7 C | 20.0 C to 29.0 Spring has sprung, with the snow slowly melting in much of the North, creating mushy grounds and greyish, icy snow piles that are doing their best to melt. In comparison, Ista finds itself naturally warmer, (~10C / 50) and many people who can find rides are making their way to the Island to spend some time in warmth and sunshine, away from the lingering touch of winter. Katila is beginning to cool down to more reasonable temperature, but is no less muggy and uncomfortable to those who are not used to the seasons. It is still a good place to escape to when seeking a warm day or a nice swim at the lake, though. The Red Star can be seen by those who choose to see it, causing no shortage of whispers that Thread will return - and just as much dismissal from those who do not believe. After all, it's been so long, surely it is no longer a threat! Weyrleaders are, regardless, beginning to put together wings in their Weyrs, if only to keep troublesome and bored riders busy.

As the month progresses, more and more snow will fall, with frequent blizzard-like storms towards the very end of the month. Telgar and Fort will in particular become burried under mountains of snow, while Ista is sunjected to frequent icy rainstorms, and heavy winds coming in from across the ocean. North: Late Autumn| South: Late Spring 13.4 to 21.0 C | 13.8 C to 25.6 C North: Mid Autumn| South: Mid Spring 13.4 to 21.0 C | 13.8 C to 25.6 C North: Early Autumn| South: Early Spring 13.4 to 21.0 C | 13.8 C to 25.6 C Following the disastrous fires (sometime in around the 28th of Month 08), Ista Isle has found itself suddenly in the midst of constant rain; not enough to flood, but a steady, dreary downfall that seems to only take a time out for a couple of hours here and there, before coming back again. Its cast the entire sooty Isle into a sombre and depressed mood. Alongside the rain, the weather is muggy and while not hot, is not particularly cool, either. The rest of Northern Pern is getting their usual weather, though they, too, have been called to action following the wildfires that savaged Ista. Many individuals who called Ista Island home have been relocated not just to Ista Weyr, Ista Hold or Sea Cliff Hold, but also to other areas of Pern, whether with family or friends.

North: Late Summer | South: Late Winter 17.4 to 25.5 C | 10.8 C to 23.2 C Ista is still unseasonably warm - 37 to 45 C - has resulted in an incredibly dry summer, with little to no rain. This was climaxed by a dry thunderstorm, the results of which caused three fires to start across the Island on the 24.07.739 in the early morning hours. While the results of this are yet to be played out, the events will no doubt leave more than just the scarring of the land.

North: Mid Summer | South: Mid Winter 18.0 to 26.6 C | 10.2 C to 21.9 C Ista is still unseasonably warm, with average weather being in the 37 to 45 C range, making it now a more than slightly undesirable escape for the rest of the Northern population from the more enjoyable early summer weather. There has been very little in the way of rain, though the coastal areas are no stranger to the salty wind. Ista's limited farmlands and fields are dry and dusty, with golden straw instead of grass where there is any growth at all. Meanwhile, the rest of the Northern areas are still getting a lot of evening rain and the occasional thunderstorms, which cools down the populus and allows them to sleep easily without sweating their brains out like the Istans.

There has been very little in the way of rain, though the coastal areas are no stranger to the salty wind. Meanwhile, the rest of the Northern areas are getting a lot of rain, thunderstorms, and cloudy days. Grass is growing, flowers flowering, and baby animals popping up all over the place! Yay spring!

North: Late Autumn | South: Late Spring Autumn is coming to an end, with the days slowly becoming shorter still, with early nights and late mornings. The temperature is getting very cool, with jackets being more required, but it has yet to actually snow. Despite this, it is often raining and miserable. The Southern contient is in full bloom, with flowers coming to life in the grasses and on the trees. The skies are bright blue with fluffy clouds, and occassional sunshowers bringing a dampness to the day. The nights are still crisp, but not cold. The ground is starting to dry up as water is absorbed by the blooming flora. North: Mid Autumn | South: Mid Spring Autumn is in full tilt, with the leaves a shocking array of orange and red, and more of them on the ground than on the trees. The skies are often a clear and crisp blue, with a cool breeze flowing, shifting the leaves and sending them scattering. Rain is not common, but when it does roll in the skies are dark like night come early, and thunderstorms are not uncommon, though they don't last for long and the amount of rain that falls isn't too heavy.

The ground is starting to dry up as water is absorbed by the blooming flora. North: Start Autumn | South: Start Spring Nothern regions are entering into Autumn, with the trees beginning to change to their reds and oranges, while the air is beginning to feel more crips. There are still more warm days than cool, and the nights are mostly warm enough for light bedding still. Rain has faded away and most days are clear and bright. The Southern contient finds itself heading into spring, with rain and flowers vying for attention. The ground is often muddy and squishy, while the skies are either bright and blue, or overcast wtih fluffy clouds. North: End Summer | South: End Winter Summer is winding to an end in the Northern hemisphere, with the weather slowly cooling and the trees beginning to turn their leaves. The days are still long and bright, but the sun is beginning to lose some of its strength. The coastal Weyrs are falling victim to coastal storms, strong winds and heavy rains with thunder and lightening. The more inbound Weyrs and Holds find themselves drier, not getting nearly as much rain or storms, they find themselves on the end of a long drought. North: Mid Summer | South: Mid Winter Summer is in full spring in the Nothern hemisphere, with the bulk of each day being unbearbly hot, followed by vicious thunderstorms and heavy humidity in the evenings and at night. The coastal areas are experiencing monsoon like weather, and spend a lot of their time locked away in Hold, Hall or Weyr. The more inner locations find themselves faced with more dry heat during the day, and horrible humidity in the evening and at night while the thunderstorms rage. |

Get those eager young men and women out there and grow them so we can match them with their perfect lifemate when the new year rolls around and one of our lovely golds throws a clutch on the Sands -- At this point in time, the Weyrs are sharing Candidates, so your Candidate can be Searched by any Weyr, and transfer to the one holding the PC clutch! History is almost complete, and the profile has been re-coded. All new characters will need to go onto the new profile, but all old can keep their current! We'll begin advertising properly over the next couple of weeks, once the history has been completed, and probably after the weekend of the 8th and 9th, because that is when ThistleProse is having her birthday. We officially have two layouts! You can post here with any issues you find, or request any changes! If you find any bugs or issues, plese repot them here, and we will do our best to fix them in a timely manner. |

Eyes: A light shade of blue that brightens when he’s in a good mood and looks dull when he’s a bit listless himself.
Hair: A light shade of brown, his hair wouldn’t be all that remarkable if it wasn’t for the wavy curl that takes over his slightly scruffy length.

General Appearance: Given his rather unhealthy lifestyle in recent turns, M’ris had put on extra weight that didn’t come from muscle mass. Once he started to straighten out his life again, his physique, while still a bit softer than some others, has regained some of its tone and strength. He has defined arms and legs with his abdomen losing the extra padding and slowly coming along to something worth showing off.
Face-wise, M’ris has a rather sculpted jawline that ends in a point rather than the strong jaw most manly men sport. Whether done subconsciously or not, he usually has a few-days-old stumble that gives him a more masculine look than a clean shave does. Thanks to his slender jawline, his large ears seem all the more prominent, making that the main reason he keeps his hair long enough to help camouflage them.
Dressing Style: While it’s hard to do so in varying stages of exile, M’ris does prefer to put a bit of effort into his clothing. A nice shirt and well-tailored pants are all he really needs though. No excess in details and colour isn’t overly important either. Darker tones suit him fine and require little thought about matching.

General Character Traits:
While hardly classified as a ladies’ man and certainly doesn’t rank as highly as some of the blueriders running around, M’ris is a man that enjoys the carnal pleasures liberally. He doesn’t sleep with every woman that looks his way but he also finds it perfectly acceptable to have more than one woman warming his bed on any given night and doesn’t exactly shy away from letting that be known. In truth, while on some level he does enjoy the physical contact, it has become more of a habit borne of necessity. It helped him to cover up the pain of his mate that died in exile, something that nearly drove him to the brink of insanity and would have left him drowning in the ocean if it wasn’t for his dragon’s devotion.
Women help him keep the pain of his loss buried and gives him something fun to do now that so much time has passed and he’s been able to move on to some degree. That wasn’t his only coping device, however. Once Katila was established and supplies were being brought back with the secret scouting parties, M’ris took up drinking to the point where he blacked out on more than one occasion. He’d wake with little to no memory of the previous night – or several days if he had been binge drinking. Oftentimes he was a happy drunk that bordered on goofy and annoying. It took a lot of time, patience, and fists to the face to help M’ris find his way back out from the bottom of the bottle. Despite the addiction that started to rule his life, he never fully quit drinking but limits himself to a few drinks on special events, like Hatchings.
The personality that shines when he isn’t drunk or seducing someone into bed is rather personable. He’s not a social butterfly by any stretch of the imagination but he doesn’t seek out the shadows to hide in either. He is often smiles and friendly with a hint of silliness but just as easily, he can silently agree and follow orders from his superiors or be miserable towards someone that irritates him.
Given his rank of bronzerider, M’ris has always believed he is among the top of the food chain and arrogance shines through. He has respect for the Weyrleader and his Wingleader but he also expects everyone else to treat him with reverence as well. The current trend that Katila fell into of brownriders working above their station and taking the positions meant for bronzeriders rubbed him the wrong way and he tried, usually in vain, to rally support against the upstarts and troublemakers – notably, of course, brownrider S’kef.
Habits/Mannerisms: M’ris drums his hands on his legs when sitting and bored.
Opinions:
Threadfall Theory: If it returns, we’ll be ready. If it doesn’t, then I guess we party and celebrate our good fortune.
Stealing/Kidnapping: A bad decision that benefited the Weyr and dragons. If it ever left a bad taste, the after taste washed it away.
Firelizards: Initially he wanted nothing to do with them but once everything seemed normal, he viewed them as nothing more than pesky little things.
Return North: The North and South hold good and bad memories for M’ris. He doesn’t really care either way where he is but he sees the move as beneficial for dragons if nothing else.

A recent hobby; M’ris finds a new tranquility in himself when he’s playing with heavily diluted paints that glide over parchment with ease. He has no talent and what he ends up with is mostly a page with colours swirled around.Opinions:

Swimming:
It’s a good way to cool off and relax but it can also be used to fool himself into exercising.The Mystery Notes:
He’s actually bordering on being obsessed with them. They’re poorly written but fun is still conveyed and M’ris gets a good laugh out of them. He’s always waiting for the next one to appear and checks the boards regularly.
Dislikes:
Healers:
This stems from his hatred of dragon healers that couldn’t do anything to stop the plague. He doesn’t trust Healers and wonders about motives at times, especially when prominent people in their Weyr die under a Healer’s watch.Exercise:
Once, he didn’t mind it so much but since falling out of shape and living a lazy life for too long, M’ris hates exercising from sit-ups to push ups to running. Nothing enjoyable comes from it though he does appreciate the body he’s starting to get again.Food Allergies:
Redfruit leaves his face red and blotchy though it isn’t as bad as the way cheese can affect him. Cheese often leaves him with stomach cramps and while it is a common part of meals, M’ris has learned to bypass it.
Strengths:
Reliable:
Despite his party boy phases, M’ris can clean up and show up when he is truly needed. Adventurous:
M’ris is always up for exploring and views new things as a challenge that shouldn’t get in the way.Charismatic:
His easy nature and love of laughing make him popular with most and he’s been known to sway people to his way of thinking more than once with a smile and the right words.
Flaws:
Addictive Personality:
While he can eventually moderate some addictions, M’ris can easily fall into a habit of constantly turning to something whether for comfort or the thrill. Booze, sex, and even his secret affair with K’tir all qualify for this.Impulsive:
He doesn’t always stop to think what the consequences are before suddenly doing something.Detached:
Since the death of his mate, M’ris can flirt with the best of them but he never gets attached and there are some that see through the guise and know he’s a bit empty inside when it comes to other people.Personal History

Background Story:
692 & 0:
Marnaris is born; the third son for his parents.702 & 10:
He’s deemed more than old enough to begin seriously helping around the farm and Marnaris gains a new respect for his father and the discipline that is needed for maintaining such a scheduled routine. He’s still not overly fond of it, though.705 & 13:
A Searchrider notices him on a trip to the market with his family. Given his parents could barely afford to send the eldest son to a Hall and nothing truly remarkable awaited him outside a marriage to a bland girl as he got older, Marnaris eagerly accepts the offer to Stand.706 & 14:
His rather girly eyes and slightly longer than the current trend hairstyle leaves him open to ridicule from older Weyrbrats and Weyrlings, especially when he doesn’t Impress for the first several Hatchings he Stands for.707 & 15:
Impresses to Mosiath, the first bronze of the clutch.709 & 17:
Graduation! He takes up the name M’ris, much to the delight of some of the other riders who call him Missy and other girly names but now that he’s a full-fledged bronzerider, M’ris flaunts his rank when needed to get his way.710 & 18:
Wins his first gold flight early in the turn and proudly watches the Hatching his wonderful dragon sired.711 & 19:
M’ris is horrified that Mosiath chased a green. He’s proud the dragon won another flight but the rider was male and M’ris wasn’t thrilled with waking beside a man despite having finally accepted it as natural – for other people to indulge in.712 & 20:
Wins the maiden flight of a different gold, one that Mosiath takes a strong interest in. M’ris himself doesn’t find the goldrider all that bad either and takes up a relationship with her later in the turn.713 & 21:
His first child with Sarendall is born.714 & 22:
Having managed to win all of Sarendall’s flights, the Weyr considers them mated and M’ris finds himself developing stronger than expected feelings for the woman that leaves him okay with being mated.715 & 25:
His second child with Sarendall is born.716 & 24:
The plague is working its way through the dragon population and the order is given to flee South in order to save as many dragons as possible. The suggestion to split up is ignored by M’ris who refuses to let Sarendall out of his sight and they make the trip together, setting up their own little camp when they finally reach land. Their two young children are left with their favourite crèche worker who stayed in the North.717-718 & 25-26:
While it was nothing to brag about, their quaint hut is destroyed in a storm one night, forcing them to start over yet again. Other than that set back, M’ris doesn’t mind too much the life spent with his mate, though the longing for a few more friends and music hits at times. 719 & 27:
At the end of the turn, Sarendall falls ill and with the lack of supplies and knowledge, she dies with Karith taking them between. This event breaks M’ris to the point where he was suicidal, begging Mosiath to take him to his mate and telling him to stop saving him from the ocen’s embrace. Eventually the bond outweighed the grief and M’ris managed to keep himself alive for his dragon’s sake.720 & 28:
The call to reunite is heard but M’ris hesitates. Mosiath encourages him it’s better to move on then to continue staying in the place that holds the good and bad memories and they finally join up with the survivors. 721-726 & 29-34:
Alcohol, as bad as the Katilan attempts are, becomes of his favourite thing and M’ris spends turns lost in its comforting embrace to assist him in forgetting the pain and horrors of exile. Regardless of hour, he’s likely drunk or hungover from days of binge drinking. Luckily he’s not a violent drunk but his wandering hands and lewd comments to the wrong women earn him smacks by gentle hands or punches by heavy fists. That doesn’t mean he’s never successful and finds himself in different beds regularly.727 & 35:
Nirinath rising pleases Mosiath but M’ris’ foggy mind hinders the win. The event, however, assists in cleaning M’ris up and he eases up on the drinking. New eggs after so long is a sign of hope to him and he finally realises that Sarendall wouldn’t like or forgive him for his sorry state.728-731 & 36-39:
Drinking becomes something to be done when celebrating or mourning and now that he’s more sober than not, M’ris begins making friends in better circles and applying himself more to assisting others and the Weyr.731 & 39:
Drunk and horny at the World Above feast, M’ris meant to find a female partner but ended up with brownrider K’tir. Shocked that he had enjoyed himself, M’ris finds himself taking K’tir up on his offer to stop by again sometime a half a month later. While women are still preferred, the thrill of sneaking around to meet with the brownrider that can keep a secret adds to the desire to continue meeting. 732 & 40:
The return of Firelizards puts M’ris a bit on edge and he watches them closely until it is shown they aren’t about to start the second plague. The attempt on D’ren’s life isn’t taken well. Even if there were flaws in the man’s leadership, he was still their leader and a bronzerider. To find out another bronzerider was responsible disgusts M’ris and he doesn’t mourn T’shiro after the execution. He does, however, quietly voice his displeasure at seeing a brownrider step up.733 & 41:
The announcement S’kef makes that women riders are no longer allowed honorifics makes sense to M’ris and is one of the few things he so far agrees on with the brownrider. Having once been mated to a gold, he always felt keeping their full name was its own honour and girls on fighting dragons don’t need to pretend they’re one of the boys by taking on an honorific.734 & 42:
The landslide brings back horrible memories and M’ris falls back into the bottle for quite some time. Aradissicath’s clutch hatching without issue helps to sober him up again as he sees hope isn’t entirely lost just yet.735 & 43:
Continues to assist in setting up Telgar Weyr, finding pleasure with some of his affairs.736 & 44:
Happily takes the position of Ista Weyrleader when he's told he can pick the goldrider to 'lead' with him. Ameris is chosen without hesitation has their dragons have taken a fondness for each other and M'ris is starting to feel the same way for the woman. Education

Name Pronounced: Mo-see-aath
Dragon Colour: Bronze
Wing Assigned: S’kef’s
Wing Rank: Wingrider
Hatching Date: 23.07.711 AL
Birthing Weyr: High Reaches Weyr
Home Weyr: Telgar Weyr
Clutch Name: Fragmented Memories
Clutch Mother: Gold Flodareth
Clutch Father: Bronze Tanroth
Key Word: Compassion
Egg Name: Compassion
Egg Description: This cream coloured egg is rather average in size but makes up for it in the way a toffee colour swirls freely from top to bottom, spiralling around the egg until it pools along the base.
Appearance:
Length: 27.4
Height: 15
Wingspan: 39
Scars & Markings:
Weyrlinghood: Mosiath was rather gangly in youth with an awkward gait.
Adulthood: His wings are slightly too small for his frame which, while wouldn’t be classified as ‘fat’ isn’t slender either. Before the plague and founding of Katila, Mosiath was considered rather average in size for bronze dragons but now, with each clutch that hatches, he finds himself ending up on the smaller end of dragon sizing; especially since browns and a lot of blues are becoming larger than him.
Colour-wise, as an adult, Mosiath’s hide is almost a creamy gold with its soft shade of bronze. The wing sails are of a deeper bronze, just as the fingers of lightning that spread over his body are.
Mindvoice: A deep rumble when he’s relaxing or pleased but it takes on a slightly higher pitch when he’s in high spirits and energetic.
General Character Traits: Mosiath has a surprising understanding of others and goes out of his way to make dragon and human alike comfortable. He’s interested in problems that he can help solve, be it a physical task or even a mental or emotional issue.
That isn’t to say he’s entirely selfless, however. He is still bonded to M’ris and the man’s arrogance has rubbed off some over the years. Mosiath can use his station to his benefit when needed but rarely looks down upon others without an extremely good reason.
Habits/Mannerisms: Sleeps on his back when napping in the sun.
Likes:
Playing I-Spy:
Mosiath doesn’t care if it seems childish, he simply loves observing everything around him and playing the game with others to see if they are as observant. He’s taken to playing with the newly hatched since they’re so energetic and curious.Peering Over Shoulders:
He’s a curious dragon and sometimes waiting to be let in on the story and news isn’t good enough and he peeks over shoulders and heads to see what’s going on.Like 3:
Dislikes:
Being Painted:
M’ris saw children painting Grith once and had the idea to try out his new hobby on Mosiath. It didn’t go over well. The typically kind and docile dragon will usually vanish when anyone comes too close with paint in hand.Dislike 2:
Dislike 3:
Strengths:
Diplomatic:
Mosiath is rather skilled in playing the middle ground and helping both sides come to an understanding. He’s rather impartial.Sympathetic:
Not one to let someone suffer alone, Mosiath will curl up beside someone and be their shoulder to cry on as he listens to issues.Practical:
Countering M’ris’ impulsiveness, Mosiath is a thinker and doesn’t jump head long into trouble.
Flaws:
[div style="clear:both"] Arrogant:
He might come across as a nice guy but he thinks rather highly of himself.Gullible:
When his bleeding heart is stronger than his arrogance, Mosiath can fall for mind games and be taken advantage of.Flaw 3:

| M’ris held his head in his hands, hunched over where he sat in the Stands. It was partly done in grief but mostly done to massage away the headache he felt forming. This was going to be one of those days where he didn’t want to be Weyrleader. Actually, most days he didn’t want the job but it usually was a pretty relaxed gig where he could delegate and didn’t have to make a lot of important or life-altering decisions. This Hatching was going to make him deal with a lot of political drama and he had barely recovered from the Touching several days earlier. Some of the Candidates liked to gossip and the Weyrlingmaster was very traditional and voiced his concerns about Vaeyla having her nine year old son on the Sands. Of course word reached the superstitious and he was soon dealing with the issue of letting kids on the Sands when their mom was visiting her bound dragon. They argued that the boy could damage an egg if he was running around them and might mess up Impressions if he went around touching them. M’ris figured it wouldn’t hurt to impose an age limit on that, especially since a child of Evritt’s age could be helping with chores around the Weyr or even be put into the crèche for whatever reason. Some argued that infants didn’t even need to be near the eggs since they had wet nurses but M’ris didn’t want to put undue stress on the mothers and made the rule that they could keep their child with them – except during the actual Hatching – until the child was two. He had left it up to Ameris to tell her friend that while she wasn’t in trouble, she did inspire a rule for all future sand-bound golds. Now, he knew what was coming. Not only because he heard the rumblings around him from visiting dragonriders, but because it was rather obvious. The little brown had killed two women who were Standing for all colours since they didn’t have a gold in the clutch. Out of the three open Northern Weyrs, M’ris had been the only Weyrleader to allow such a thing. He supposed the others didn’t because it was more traditional or maybe they didn’t want to risk as many injuries. But he never liked the idea of only rushing women on and off the Sands when the gold made her appearance. It seemed far more dangerous for the girls and could upset more dragonets that way. Besides, if a green wanted one of those girls, she would find her way to where they were stashed. It was simply safer all around. He also strongly believed that a woman on a fighter dragon was better than a dead dragon and let those that wanted to Stand, do so. He didn’t know how many heard Huxlieth’s explanation. Dragonets had no control over their volume yet but with so much going on, he hoped it was overlooked. But he heard it. Heard it loud and clear that the brown thought the two girls were weak and didn’t deserve to be on dragon or alive because of it. When the second girl Impressed to a green, M’ris felt a surge of hope that perhaps everything could balance out, but the Healer’s shake of his head dashed that away quickly. The girl wouldn’t make it, and apparently she was further gone than M’ris had thought with how hard the Healers seemed to have been working on her for seconds later he saw a green dragonet go between. That, at least, semi proved his point. If that girl hadn’t been there, the green would have died. But because he did allow her to be there, she had died with the dragonet. His guilt was going to be alive and well for quite a while, especially with how many meetings he knew he was going to be stuck in. This was going to test him more than he had been tested before. After losing his mate during the exile, M’ris had spent years drinking himself into oblivion and doing a lot of stupid things. He eventually sobered up, still did some stupid stuff, but stayed in control. He even managed to have a glass of wine with Ameris from time to time and simply enjoy the one glass without a need for more. Now, however, he knew if he had a sip while in this mood, he wouldn’t stop until he didn’t feel the pain and guilt. Everyone else would be celebrating and mourning with too much alcohol that day, but he couldn’t allow himself to. He had to keep a level head, especially since he also had a raging gold dragon that Vaeyla was struggling to control. He nearly lost his own temper and yelled at the poor woman to control her dragon before more lives were endangered but held his tongue when it seemed like Vaeyla made progress with Nadioth. He only hoped Mizeath didn’t hear all of her ranting, though it was hard not to and his headache didn’t appreciate it, or perhaps she’d be in a good mood and not care. But M’ris felt Mosiath’s irritation grow at Nadioth calling the Sands hers. He didn’t even have to question Mosiath’s ire. She may not have as much power as golds once held before the plague, but Mizeath was still the Weyrwoman’s dragon and that made the Sands technically hers with others borrowing it. Well, this is Nadioth’s clutch and her Sands for a few more eggs, so don’t start anything. I don’t need anything else going wrong with this Hatching. |
