G’rem watched from the shore with his arms crossed, face stoic and unamused. While he found the splashing and general antics of the young dragonriders annoying, he didn’t actually move to stop them. Children would be children, whether they were human or dragon. They were going to splash and cut up no matter what. At least they were doing what they were supposed to be doing, though.
Remenath was more supportive. The blue lingered in the water, jeweled eyes flashing between one dragonet and the next. He never moved from this spot, but he did offer gentle words of encouragement to the young ones as they played their games.
They are young. If it doesn’t feel like work, they’ll do more of it Remenath reminded his bonded. The blue was relaxed. Let them be young while they can
G’rem quietly accepted the advice, though not without a slight snort. He knew his dragon was right and he probably shouldn’t let his sour jadedness affect him so much. He waited quietly for some time, occasionally correcting a weyrling whose dragonet’s form needed improvement, but otherwise he stayed out of their way. As Remenath predicted, they seemed much more eager for the exercise when it was disguised as play.
At length, Remenath gave a sudden, shrill bugle. It was his way of getting the weyrlings’ attention. “All right!” G’rem shouted, stepping forward and waving for their attention. “Now that they’ve gotten the motions down and gotten some practice, we’re going to do some organized swim drills. Everyone bring their dragonets to the shore and line them up!” He waved his stick wildly at the water line.
He waited impatiently for each weyrling to bring his or her (usually reluctant) dragonet to the shore. “Now then,” G’rem said, “they will all swim out to meet the adult dragons.” He motioned to Remenath and his helpers, still forming a protective line. “Have your dragonet swim there and back. It’ll be tiring for them, but that’s how we’ll measure progress. Next time, after you’ve all had a bit of practice on your own…” A pause for emphasis. If someone skipped out on swimming practice, G’rem would know!.
“…This distance should be much quicker and easier for them. Now, go!”
