The gold had kept herself entertained for what seemed like an eternity, napping on her ledge and soaking up the morning sun for a bit. She was still a little upset that she couldn't go to the Gather too, more so that Cazan had taken another dragon to get there while she was stuck in the Weyr. How was that fair? But there was the promise of a firelizard, all she had to do was keep being sneaky. No one had even stopped by, no one was asking where her rider was, so surely the rest of the day would be easy. Maybe if she practiced being extra sneaky, she'd be able to go with Cazan on her next adventure.
Malvayth thought back to the accident her precious rider had with the dye, how it made her hands black for days, and an idea began to form. She could practice being sneaky if she disguised herself. If being gold drew so much attention, maybe she just needed to be darker, like her brother Taith. That would help! It was a common color for leather, so she knew Cazan kept several large jugs of it in the corner of their weyr where she kept her supplies.
Carefully moving the jugs to her wallow so that she had more room to work with kept her occupied for a little bit, but then she faced a different problem. How to apply the dye to herself. She would need help with this, so she decided to recruit some assistance from one of her favorite siblings. She headed back out to the ledge, and went off to find her darkest, and thus sneakiest, brother.
Taith! Malvayth called quietly to her brother as she paced outside of his weyr. Taith! Can you come out to play? I want your help! Remembering Cazan's warning she added a bit more quietly, But we have to be sneaky. Cazan is napping.
