The invitation to visit Azrin at Ista had surprised Xyliah, mostly because while she liked Jalazmar’s brothers, she consistently forgot there was anyone outside the small collection of people living in her own little household. Being a Lady was hard work, which was why she dished most of it off on Yanzi and Kelikki to do. Granted, she did all the ‘important’ things, and made sure the work the two women was as required. But she gave them a lot of loose lead to move around with, and honestly, so long as neither of them screwed her or Jalazmar over by doing things they shouldn’t, Xyliah saw no reason to be tight fisted.

As such, when Yanzi said she would take care of settling their items into the rooms Azrin had arranged for them, and that she should go to the Weyr with her husband, Xyliah had no qualms about doing just that. The fact that she was completely oblivious to the naughty smile and quick wink Yanzi tossed to Azrin probably helped quite a bit. While Xyliah wouldn’t have been at all surprised by her maid bedding someone at the Hold, she probably wouldn’t have reacted well to the brazen indication that the woman was bedding her brother-in-law!

Not long after, and Xyliah had her arm wrapped lightly around M’ris’ as the Weyrleader took her on a tour of his Weyr. She didn’t stay like that for long, though, because everything was so exciting and new for the young woman who had definitely not been out of her home hold nearly enough to be sedate and composed when visiting a Weyr that was wonderfully filled with dragons. And firelizards! Xyliah squealed when one popped into appearance to give a note to M’ris, and was delighted when the little gold realised she was the centre of attention and landed on Xyliah’s arm for a few moments to be gushed over before going on her way.

Xyliah’s response to the firelizard had changed M’ris’ plans, apparently, because suddenly he was leading her in an entirely different direction and before she knew it, Xyliah found herself on the edge of what looked like a lesson. There were young men all sitting around with notebooks and backpacks while off to one side somewhat, several small dragons were sleeping or frolicking together. Xyliah gasped into her hands, and bounced on the spot in delighted excitement as M’ris lead her over to the group and introduced her to a couple that were nearby. Xyliah paid enough attention to wave brightly at the youngsters, but her gaze was clearly primarily demanded by the dragonets not far away.

“They’re so beautiful!” She gushed, not even realising that M’ris had left her as she stood by the three young men who appeared to be deciding how to handle having her thrown into their midst. “Can I meet them?” She asked, turning her beseeching gaze down on the riders-to-be, her hands clasped together before her as she bounced slightly on her toes, definitely not the image of a self-important Lady and every inch an excited teenager.

Lucky for Xyliah, she didn’t need permission from the riders for the young dragons to be interested in her. Faxxonth, for one, was intrigued by the newcomer. She was so very enthusiastic about them, wasn’t she? How fun. Despite not being the most socially adept dragonet in the Weyr, Faxxonth was intensely curious and wanted to find out if this new person would be fun to play with. The little ‘green’ ambled over to Xyliah, managing to only stumble a little bit on the way.

Nerreh watched Faxxonth a bit apprehensively. Her dragon had already shown a penchant for entertaining herself at the expense of others, and Nerreh wasn’t keen on Faxxonth messing with a Lady, as M’ris had introduced her to be — which was a whole ‘nother thing, she didn’t usually have the Weyrleader speaking to her at all, let alone asking her to entertain a Lady while he had to deal with something. She would have worried about what to do if Lady Xyliah hadn’t been so excited about the young dragons. Which was fair, they were pretty damn cute. Faxxonth especially, but Nerreh was biased. A little bit.

Despite Nerreh’s concern, Faxxonth was behaving. For now. She inspected the new human, sniffing her curiously (she smelled rather strongly of flowers) and gently nosing at her cloud of curly hair. The curls bounced at the gentle touch and Faxxonth squeaked in surprise, staring wide eyed at Xyliah. Nerreh snickered, utterly entertained by her dragon’s antics, but figured she may need to apologize to the Lady, just in case.

“Sorry about her,” Nerreh said through her grin, laughter audible in the words, “She’s friendly, I promise.” Watching Faxxonth reach out again to poke at another curl, Nerreh bit her lip to keep from laughing too much. Lady might get offended. Ladies got offended easy, didn’t they? That’s what Nerreh had heard anyway.

Xyxyth had watched the Weyrleader approach with a strange woman he didn’t recall having the pleasure of meeting before. He stood at attention when M’ris approached their little group and nodded in greeting before paying full attention to the man. He liked M’ris; found the man to be charming in his own ways and he could be a good role model for A’tay, once the boy stopped staring at his toes so much and focused on what was around him and what he could be.

Hearing Xyliah’s name, Xyxyth perked up even more and nearly pranced after Faxxonth to meet the woman. He watched the way the Faxxonth played with the curly hair and chuckled, finding it all to be harmless fun and then plopped himself down on the other side of Xyliah. Our names are similar, Xyliah! I’m Xyxyth! he greeted her just before Nerreh stepped in with an apology. Should he tone down the friendliness as well? He hadn’t nudged her yet, which he wanted to do but was trying not to overwhelm the woman so he thought he was doing okay so far. A’tay didn’t seem to mind either as a glance to his mate saw the boy just getting to his feet and coming over to join the party.

A’tay hadn’t spent as much time at his Aunt Eridella’s like T’ryn had but it had been enough to prepare him for an excited Lady. Eridella admittedly didn’t dance on the spot in excitement –that he had seen anyway, but maybe she did—but she was pretty outstanding and kept him on his toes with some of her comments. She also had some eccentric children and visitors so a woman excited to see dragons didn’t seem too scary after some of the encounters he had made it through.

He laid a hand on Xyxyth’s side when he reached his dragon. The creature kept growing! He was still the largest in his class and every time A’tay felt like the beast had stopped for a while, they woke up to complaints of itchiness as he grew again. It was odd to see him at such a size now when he had been so tiny upon hatching, which both seemed like a million years ago and yesterday all rolled into one. “Nice to meet you, Lady Xyliah. I’m A’tay and that’s Nerreh. You may regret stopping at this group. I swear these two are the most curious and excited dragons in the clutch.”

I like her. Can I call her Xylith? Xyxyth had been studying Xyliah as A’tay spoke, taking her measure and deciding she was a good person and she would be nice to have around. You are now Xylith, companion of Xyxyth. She liked dragons and seemed to have enough energy to fuel a dragon –maybe she was one in disguise!—so she deserved a dragon’s name. That only he could use, of course. What was the point of special nicknames if everyone used them?

There was no way on Pern the dragonets weren’t ridiculously cute; however, they were also a lot bigger than Xyliah had given them credit for being when they were a good stretch away, and finding one of them right in her face and blowing and nosing at her hair was, honestly, more than a little intimidating. Xyliah wasn’t one to freak out, often, but her eyes were quite wide and it was only the solid knowledge that she’d been told dragons did not hurt people that kept her from stepping backwards rapidly. The squeak from the dragonet, though, had Xyliah gasping in surprise herself, and she took a half step backwards, eyes as round as dinner plates.

She was absolutely floored when there was a voice suddenly in her mind that was decidedly not her own and Xyliah gasped again, her eyes just about popping out of her head and she stared in shock at the dragon before her, before realising that there was another dragon right beside her and she spun just enough to see the young bronze, who was not at all little! And he wasn’t grown yet?! That’s what M’ris had said! They were only babies still! Goodness! “H-hi!” Xyliah stumbled over the simple word, her gaze now glued to the young bronze.

“They’re so beautiful,” Xyliah mumbled, completely entranced now that she had a young rider on each side of her to back up and control their dragons. Not that she would say any such thing, of course, and when the bronze one renamed her, Xyliah flushed crimson while smiling brightly. “Thank you!” She gushed, curtsying deeply. Her dress had not made mounting the dragon who had brought them to Telgar easy, but Xyliah hated wearing pants, and had pouted ferociously at Jalazmar when he’d suggested it. (Besides, while she was fully clothed at the present time, she could hardly tease her husband if she had trousers on!)

Brushing her skirts down as she stood up, Xyliah looked imploringly back at the riders again, eyes wide and expression glowing and hopeful. “Can I touch them?” She asked softly, breathy with excitement. She didn’t want to offend riders or dragons by launching herself at either of them, but she really, really wanted to give them some love! One of the dragonriders had told her where his blue liked to be scratched, and let her do so, and the dragon had even made a sound that was like when her cat purred, but loud!

If dragons could pout, Faxxonth would absolutely be pouting as Xyxyth came up at took Xyliah’s attention away from her. She’d gotten to the Lady first, why did Xyxyth get to come over and become the center of attention? Big dumb bronzes who made everything about them, ugh. Faxxonth huffed and flopped down next to Xyliah, watching her curtsey. What a weird thing to do. Humans were weird.

When Xyliah asked if she could touch the dragons, Faxxonth immediately perked up, very excited about the prospect of getting pets and scritches. Tell her she can! Tell her she can! she chanted at Nerreh, trying her best to keep still so she wouldn’t make Xyliah nervous. She knew she could talk directly to the lady, like Xyxyth was doing, but she didn’t like it, it was weird to talk to anyone other than her bonded. Nerreh didn’t mind acting as translator, so it was fine. Faxx didn’t have to bespeak anyone she didn’t want to.

“Faxxonth says you can pet her,” Nerreh said, bemused by her dragon’s reluctance to talk to anyone else, “or maybe I should say demands that you pet her, she seems very excited by the idea. Also, if you couldn’t tell, she really likes your hair.” Faxx hadn’t told her to say that, but Nerreh felt it might be a good idea to clarify that the dragon playing with her hair had been a positive thing.

It is good hair, Faxx agreed quietly, nodding along with her bonded’s words, even though she didn’t let Xyliah hear the comment, I like it. Nerreh has good hair too, but it’s not as fun to play with. Nerreh snorted.

"Apparently it's more fun than mine," Nerreh said with a laugh, reaching out to pat Faxx on the shoulder. She had such a silly dragon.

“Really?” Xyliah asked, the word escaping on an excited gasp as she turned wide eyes on the young green dragon, beaming brightly when Nerreh continued by saying that the dragonet demanded Xyliah pat her, and the young woman just about threw herself on the dragonet, wrapping her arms around the nose and snuggling her for a moment before running her hands all over the soft hide, giggling and gasping and making soft noises of appreciation as she trailed slowly around Faxxonth, tracing patterns over the marking son her hide.

“So soft! And so pretty! Look at this marking! It looks like a cloud!” She spoke to herself more than anyone else in the little group, primarily because she was quite sure Nerreh would be well aware of every speck and spot on her dragon’s hide – especially since she’d heard that dragonets take a lot of bathing and oiling and since Faxxonth’s hide was so soft, Xyliah was sure she got a lot of special oiling and looking after! Making it back up to Faxxonth’s front, Xyliah wrapped her arms around as much of the dragonet’s neck as she could, and snuggled close, enjoying the strange scent of dragon and whatever oil was used on her.

“Can I keep her?” She half expected Jalazmar to pop out of between with a quippy answer to her question, but resisted the urge to peer around for her husband as she looked with playfully beseeching eyes at Nerreh. Her teasing grin on her lips, she looked over at Xyxyth, and her expression brightened. “You too!” she said, releasing Faxxonth and clapping her hands together, bouncing on the balls of her feet before she closed the distance between herself and the even bigger dragonet, wrapping her arms around his nose and hugging his face. “I want to keep you both! I don’t think Sunshine will be impressed, though!” She giggled at the thought of her cat’s face if she introduced the orange tom to the two dragons.

Faxxonth had not been expecting the lady to hug her nose like that. Thankfully, she managed to stay still and not pull Xyliah up into the air jerking her head back in surprise. This lady was so enthusiastic! Faxxonth liked her, she was interesting, and the dragonet preened under Xyliah’s attention. She was soft and pretty, and it was nice even non-dragon people could tell. Faxxonth hoped her hide would stay pretty as she aged — she knew most dragonets’ hides changed before they reached proper adulthood, and Faxxonth wasn’t sure how different hers might be soon. As long as it was still pretty, she was okay with it, even if it was extraordinarily different!

And then Faxxonth was getting another hug and Nerreh grinned at her dragon’s confused croon. The little green was always curious, but Nerreh had already noticed she wasn’t overly social outside of meeting new people; Faxx wanted to see if someone was interesting, but if they were deemed boring, Faxx quickly lost interest. A lot of the dragonet’s clutchmates had be dismissed as utterly dull, only entertaining as the butt of some prank or another. Clearly, Faxx considered Xyliah someone to investigate further, and Nerreh laughed at the request to keep her dragon.

“If you want, but it’s a package deal — you get me too, and then you have to feed both of us,” Nerreh teased, gesturing at Faxxonth, “growing dragons eat a lot, and I eat nearly as much. Might be a bit more than you bargained for, especially if you’re getting Xyxyth and A’tay too.” Nerreh watched as Xyliah released Faxx to hug Xyxyth, feeling her dragonet’s pouting at the loss of attention in her mind.

Who is Sunshine? Why won’t he Impress? Is he a dragon? She doesn’t have a dragon, I’d know, and she’s never seen weyrlings before. Is this Sunshine alright? Faxxonth’s puzzled voice asked with a gentle mental poke to her bonded. None of what the Lady just said made sense. Oh, is Sunshine a firelizard? That could make sense… but if he is, how can he not be Impressed? The dragon trailed off, eyeing Xyliah, as if waiting for a flit to appear from between at any moment. Nerreh snorted.

“Faxx wants to know who Sunshine is. She’s worried about him not being Impressed and wants to know if he’s okay.” She said, emphasizing the word ‘Impressed’ to say she meant the dragonrider version of the word. There were a few giggles that escaped while Nerreh was saying it, and she hoped Xyliah managed to catch what she meant.
