"Eh, I was Weyrbred," Ellaira replied with a shrug. "I mostly knew what was going on." It had been awkward, yes, though not for the reasons Jada was imagining. D'jen hadn't been looking forward to 'the talk' to his best friend's little sister - the man was gay, after all - but it probably was worse to have said little sister come up and confess her undying love and that she had 'blossomed into a woman.'
Jada's ridiculous imitation of a male lizard trying to woo mates - and her ensuing laughter at Ellaira's antics - slowly broke though the woman's irritation at sand in her mouth. Ellaira cracked a smile, then started chuckling, and finally laughing, a grin breaking across her face as she raked her hair out of her eyes and neatly swam over to Jada's rock, pulling herself up onto it and starting to wring out her hair with no attention for modesty.
"You should talk, Master Lizard," Ellaira said cheerfully. She finished wringing her hair out and tossed it back over her shoulder, sprawling out on the large rock in a manner not too far distant from a lizard spreading out its limbs to absorb the maximum amount of sun. "Feels good to be clean, though, doesn't it? Cleaner, at least." Ellaira wrinkled her nose and flashed a smile at the young goldrider. "I'm looking forward to a proper bath when they let us go back to the Weyr."
