R'dal started his day by visiting friends at Telgar Weyr. Several had Impressed last summer and were just learning to fly together with their dragons and he had hoped to see some attempts in between catching up with them now that they were able to have more outside visitors. Gold Amagrith had been so graceful on her wings with Mylorah laughing and seeming to be her usual carefree self. That changed upon landing. Amagrith landed hard and stumbled, but her rider only gave a quick grimace before smiling and patting the gold. Apparently that was a better landing than the last several had been, he was told after the lesson.
After chatting with some friends and sneaking in cuddles with Mylorah--even Z'kel seemed okay with curling up with them!--before the young goldrider had her special lessons with the Weyrwoman, R'dal had only pouted a little. He was tempted to push his luck with the former lordling and try for a nap with him, but Mylorah offered to walk with him on her way out as she also had a favour to ask. Since she still couldn't leave the Weyr with her young dragon, she asked if he would mind picking up a few items at Tillek Hold so she could surprise Z'kel and even L'ri with. Of course he would help!
That was how he next found himself at Tillek Hold with his satchel full of a few bottles of wine and a few other little trinkets and snacks the Hold was known for. He even delivered a letter for Mylorah! And since she said he didn't need to rush back, R'dal figured an afternoon at the beach was a nice treat for both Edath and him. The water is cooler here, Edath pointed out as he walked them just deep enough into the ocean that the dragon's feet were wet. Perhaps I will just sun, he added as he backed up again to dry sand so R'dal could dismount.
The bluerider was considering his own options as he strolled a bit away from his dragon and looked out over the water when something--someone--caught his eye and he gasped. "Is that a mermaid?" He asked excitedly but his smile dropped as what F'drel would call the more realistic option hit him. "Or is someone in danger? Are they drowning?" I believe they're waving and calling out a greeting to you, so no, likely not drowning.
R'dal was smiling again as he gave little hops of excitement and waved back at the person. "Hi!" While he didn't get into the water, he did move a little further down the beach so they wouldn't be yelling at each other as much. "Aren't you cold?" He gasped again. Didn't the stories say the merpeople didn't feel the temperature of the water? "Are you a mermaid? Merman? That's so cool! F'drel will never believe me," he gave a little pout at that last idea but was back to smiling brightly at the beautiful person splashing around.
