You're falling asleep.

"Mhhmmm."

He, and Charath filled Erisi's mind with the image of G'rem to fill in for the lack of speaking his name, is coming our way. Look alert. You're going to embarrass us. Why Charath never spoke anyone's name was beyond them. He imagined it was because she thought everyone else was beneath her, because the only person she'd give him a mental image of and say their name was Valerian. The only comfort Erisi could take in was that she wasn't talking to the man yet. Erisi also had no idea why she insisted that he be on his best behavior when she hardly was. But, to avoid getting whacked over the head, Erisi straightened up and forced the light back into his eyes.

All he had been thinking about was leaning over to Valerian and using his shoulder as a pillow. Charath was frustrated with that line of thought herself, because with Veeth guarding Valerian like a canine, she could not make her own way over to him. Valerian does a better job of pretending to pay attention than you do. You should take some lessons. Charath nearly squawked indignantly when her bonded rolled his eyes at her. It became Erisi's natural response to whenever Charath started fawning over Valerian - it really was his only way to cope with his dragonet's obsession with his friend.

She heard Larrikith, but also felt the temptation to stay by Erisi's side to make sure he made it through the lesson without a welt on his head. But, hmmm, as Veeth was suddenly making his way to the older dragon... Charath's train of thought to a sudden twist. It might be good for Erisi to get in trouble! Charath could not always watch his back, and this would teach him to pay attention during class. Afterwards he would ask Charath about what had happened during the lesson, and Charath neither had the attention span or memory to relay it in detail to him. It would be a hard lesson, but a valuable one! This way, she could also gt back at Veeth for hovering over Valerian like a rabid canine. Talk about possessive.

She waited until Veeth was about halfway to Larrikith, and then began her own pursuit. The green dragon crouched low to the ground, stomach skimming across grass as she moved forward. It wasn't exactly an elegant approach, but it was better than flat-out running after him. This way, she had the possibility of taking Veeth by surprise. I will be back in a little while - I have some things to take care of.

Erisi did not want to know.

The green dragonet paused right behind Veeth, sure that her cover would be blown if she did not act immediately. She decided to remain quiet overall, as to avoid attracting the attention of G'rem, since she did want to be able to play for more than few seconds. So, her assault was verbal. VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! she screeched loudly into the Blue's head.

Over back in the huddle of Weyrlings, Erisi jumped and raised his hands to cover his ears irritably. Whoops.

Thank you, she concluded pleasantly to Larrikith for the opportunity the dragon had provided.
