J'di had planned to take Caymath to the lake today to wash and oil him. The blue absolutely loved its cool waters and peaceful environs when the busy chaos of the main Weyr became too much. Unfortunately, one of the weyrlings had developed an issue that needed her attention. She'd bathe him at the river later. The disappointed Caymath had instead offered a compromise and Faredin had been drafted to accompany the blue to the lake as a replacement set of hands.
The boy hardly minded. It was a straight flight and he was still young enough that any flight was a thrilling experience- even if he was getting old enough to play it cool to anyone else. Caymath wasn't a difficult dragon at all, he'd been assured, and would settle right down for bathing after a bit of play and relaxation. And, at any rate, he'd been given an order and it was his duty to honor it the best he could. His only regret was that he hadn't been able to find Diolon in time for his brother to come along. They could have had a grand time.
"Looks like you'll have company." He commented to Caymath as they neared the lake and he spotted the great bronze in it. The dragon didn't reply, busy adjusting his course to touch down lightly at the lake edge, but he wasn't really expecting one. Faredin dismounted when invited to do so, taking his supplies and setting them up on the shore as Bo curled up beside them to sun. He didn't feel like swimming today and was content to wait for the blue to come back.
Greetings, Morith. Caymath greeted pleasantly, wading into the cool depths. I hope you and your rider fare well today. The blue was delighted to be able to stretch his legs in the water, but careful to keep an eye out for V'riy.
