Ravana thought a moment. "It's been so long since I've been a weyrling that I...forget the order things go in." She blushed, but a look towards Shanith and she wondered quietly if she was to be of the last generation of the female fighters. So few dragons these days impressed to women except golds...
She tore her mind from that thought. "I liked that best too. Shanith likes lilac best in her oil, though I tend to favour a chamomile and lavender blend for her. It calms her enough that I can actually manage to finish oiling her from time to time." She spoke musingly, then shook her head.
"I am glad she does. Shanith seems to like her too." The green was easy going. Ravana just hoped that her green didn't manage to corrupt the weyrling or lead her into mischief! That would be bad on so very many levels.
"I read to my daughter most nights. The healer said I should talk to her more, but I've never been a big talker and her father speaks even less, so reading to her both helps with that, and in teaching her. If you like I can lend you the books in the series. We're four or five in and..." She decided to be blunt since her green was distracted. "...Shanith's memory isn't that great for a book I would have read a few months ago."
The rider changed the subject then, worried about Rhaedalyn's reaction to being offered loan of children's books! "I thought that was your blue that was wearing a scarf a while ago, but wasn't too sure...He looked good in it." She smiled though at the little gold's hat, though she did hope Stubborn wasn't wanting to wear one. "Well I need someone to make a collar for Stubborn here. I've often made her necklaces and that, and she loves to wear them, but they keep winding up on other firelizards. I'm thinking something permanent I can hang small charms and beads off of."
Ravana tugged out a cloth bag, and passed it to Rhaedalyn. The beads were simply wrought, some round and sparkly or flat, some shaped into simpler shapes to look like dragons and firelizards, canines, felines, fish, shipfish, paw prints, a crescent moon and even a little frog, though that one needed a bit more work. "She likes these, keeps stealing and hoarding them. I'm hoping if I give her a way to wear them, my beads will stop disappearing." Ravana blushed, feeling silly at indulging the tiny gold.
Outside, Shanith continued the story.See the snakes had watched the feline's human try and bathe her through a window, and when the feline panicked the tunnelsnake told all his friends. And when word got back to the leader of the tunnelsnakes, they made a plan. They were going to use the feline's fear of water to get into the house!
