Shanith was happy to cuddle agaisnt Torath. Other dragons were warmer even than the sun and c as it made R'ana crazy, she enjoyed closeness with them. She knew it was something her rider would likely barely ever understand. the woman she'd chosen seemed to have been born without the need for closeness with others. Shanith shrugged to herself. R'ana could suck it up. It wasn't like Torath objected!
She listened to Torath and replied quietly,He doesn't seem so grumpy with mine. She thought. Then again she probably wouldn't notice if he was. We should get them to hang out together more often! She was careful to hide that thought from her rider. R'ana would counter her plans if she heard of them! And probably fuss all the while.
Meanwhile the green rider was thinking of N'kal's words and reached out to touch his shoulder. She spoke only half in jest. "It's too late to apologize! I've already forgiven you." Her words were teasing but her eyes were serious.
Teh dragons were still preening, drawing humor to her eyes and making her shake her head. Shanith got called pretty so seldom that R'ana tended to let her joy at being given a compliment, any compliment, shine unabated and undimmed. She petted her nose softly, feeling her happiness and said to her, I keep forgetting to tell you you're wonderful sometimes, don't I? The dragon nimply blew air over her head and sent a feeling of warmth and care.
She looked down though and spoke softly. "I play chess about once a week, but normally don't play unless Shanith decides I must. She says that the chess games don't count."Damn right they don't count! You just sit still and think! Playing should make you laugh not be serious and boring!
She looked at her dragon warily as Shanith continued brightly.Hide and go seek could be fun! I'll hide you and they can find you! I know all kinds of places where I can hide you!
"NO!" R'ana folded her arms and glared up at her green. It was rude to N'kal but she knew the green well enough to know that certain things should be nipped in the bud! This was one of them. What if Shanith decided to stuf Ravana in someone else's hut, or in a box or closet or...
She decided to cut Shanith off at the pass and spoke to N'kal. "If you like, you're welcome to swing by my hut sometime. You can sit and relax on the porch chairs and you don't have to talk if you don't want to. And you'll be with someone, so Torath might just leave you alone while you do it." Humor touched her owrds at the last words and she said, "Usually I don't get guests, aside from my daughter and my fosterling, so my hut's usually a safe haven and a very quiet place."
She'd wanted to build far far away from Katila but that had been frowned on and she had built within the weyr boundries but as far away as she could possibly get from Katila proper and still be within the rules that dragonriders had to make homes in the weyr. It made for seclusion that suited her.
She listened to Torath and replied quietly,
