G’rem & Blue Remeneth – Weyrling Master
G’rem’s brows furrowed in distaste as his boisterous students spoke up, one speaking grievously out of turn and another apparently being rude to a fellow candidate for the sake of being rude. The bluerider cleared his throat loudly and produced a heaving grunt before speaking over them, his booming voice both forceful and distinctly gravely.
“Listen up!” he said, hard eyes moving between Lymsleia and Erisi with equal distaste. He kept his temper in check, but only barely. Don’t punish them for rules they didn’t realize they were breaking Remeneth suggested soothingly. G’rem snorted.
“From now on, you will not speak out of turn!” he said, looking first at Lymsleia, his tone gruff but not necessarily cruel. Young people and their lack of discipline! His head snapped deceptively quickly towards Erisi. “And you! Respect your classmates, or I’ll have you running laps around the Weyr before you can say ‘dimglow’!” he said. Remeneth gave off a supporting rumble from behind his rider. As usual, the blue loomed as a calming force, trying to remind the class that yes, his rider was actually there to teach them, not murder them.
“Now then,” G’rem grunted. “Now that’s out of the way, let’s begin.” He was just going to assume they got the message now. He liked discipline and order! “Sexuality...”G’rem knew no shame. Most weyrfolk gradually outgrew shame, but G’rem wasn’t the sort of man most people would expect to give a lecture on sexuality. They expected a woman rider, or perhaps one of those slender, effeminate men. Well, too sharding bad!
“Urm,” he grunted, “I’m going to assume most of you grew up in the hold. Holds are notoriously close-minded when it comes to sex,” he said. Remeneth curled up in the grass and laid down, his shining eyes looking reassuringly on the candidates. “Some holds,” G’rem continued, “encourage young people to abstain from sex until married. Most, if not all, condemn sexual activity between two members of the same sex…” he said.
“Well! That’s not the case here,” he said. “As many of you experienced when Nirinath flew, dragon sexuality has a strong effect on bystanders. It becomes considerably more intense when the dragon in question is your own.” He shifted a suspicious glare to Remeneth, who only crooned gently and looked quite pleased with himself.
“To put it plainly, it’s gonna happen,” G’rem grunted. “It’s common for dragons with riders of the same sex to mate, which results in a sexual encounter between the riders as well. It’s part of life here, and part of being a dragonrider. So any assumptions you have about conservative sexual ideology need to go out the window. It will happen, and here at the Weyr, it’s an acceptable part of life,” he said.
“Same sex encounters aren’t frowned on like they are in the holds. They’re quite common. At the Weyr, you’re welcome to pursue whatever kind of sexuality pleases you, so long as it isn’t harmful to others,” he added. “In fact, the Weyrleaders and staff actively encourage you to experiment with sexual activity before Impression.”
His face hardened, as if daring any of them to giggle at this next part. “Now then,” he said. “we do this because dragonflight is an intense experience. We don’t recommend that anyone lose their virginity in a flight. Sex is intense enough the first time, it’s better to know what to expect before experiencing it through dragonflight,” he said. “That extends to same-sex encounters as well. Those of you who have never tried will want to consider doing so before Impression, or you may find yourself trapped with another man or woman in dragonlust one day and come out considerably worse off than you would if you knew what to expect…”
Though all this, G’rem remained perfectly serious and impersonal, albeit gruff. He crossed his arms and surveyed the candidates. “….Any questions so far?”
