Swinging by Ravana, or B'run's, hut for breakfast had become second nature to Terken. He was still banned from the kitchen after the last fiasco he had caused there, so it was a good thing the green rider was happy to cook and to share with only a little ribbing about Terken's cooking skills.
He was startled when he loped to her door this morning to find her sitting on the porch with a basket. "You want to go eat breakfast with B'sen this morning." She picked up the basket and Terken blinked. "I do?" She nodded firmly.
"You do. Lith flew yesterday and he could probably use a friend." He paused a moment to wonder how she knew, shrugged and chalked it up to that 'greenrider solidarity' he often heard about. The greenriders of Katila probably met often and complained together or something. Hell there was probably a club! He wondered what it was called...
Taking the basket, he decided he did want to eat breakfast with B'sen. A quick peak in the basket showed him a loaf of freshly baked bread, cheese, meat and some of Ravana's famous juices in cold bottles wrapped in cloth so they didn't chell the rest of the basket's contents. Idly, Terken wondered why she kept trying (and explosively failing) to make alcohol when he juices were so wonderful, then shrugged. Not his business, aside from making sure he was out of the weyr when she was trying to make another batch.
He headed to the man's hut, Kela trotting alongside him. On the way, he got an idea. Women liked rocks, right? Ravana always cooed when he offered her a roack and jewlery was nothing but shiny rocks made smaller and set with metal. And what was green dragon but a very large woman with green hide? He detoured to his hut since it was on the way, and picked up a clean ball of Kela, and then a round rock for Lith. He had grabbed it for Ravana to make into something, but she had refused saying it was something called a geode. It looked ugly but it was something a dragon might like. Ravana had, but said he should keep it for someone special. He liked Lith. She and B'sen were special, but he didn't think men liked rocks.
Tucking ball and rock under his arm, he and Kela trotted to B'sen's hut. It felt good to have her alongside him again. Her litter was finally weaned and he had settled them in a large run outside. He could work with them this afternoon and visit this morning. Looking around once he was there, he looked around for Lith first. Once he found the green, he called lightly, "Hello Lith! I have a gift for you and breakfast for B'sen!"
