Or`n snored softly, furs bunched at his hips and hair strun about as he slept soundly. He had been exhauated the night before. The Harpers had come in the early evening to the Barracks to visit...but also on business. Though he was a Weyrling he was a Harper Apprentice as well and his skills were still required and with that he'd taken Tohanath and the two of them had travelled out to the lake where there was room for everyone to be comfortable and go over the lyrics he'd recently written and go over lessons he'd missed due to Weyrling Training. By the time he'd gotten back to the Barracks it was well passed curfew and he was exhausted. Bathing himself and Tohanath before feeding her a late night/early morning meal he'd then collapsed into bed and not stirred from his deep sleep except to roll over or curl up around a pillow.
Tohanath had slept at the lake while Or`n had been attending lessons so the little three month old was up and wide awake at their usual early morning time. However, she did not dare awaken her Own, she could feel he was still tired and even in his sleep he was going over both Weyrling and Harper Lessons. For a moment she worried that both lessons would overload her little Or`n but decided he knew what he was doing. He loved music and so became a Harper Apprentice, he loved Dragons and so became a Candidate and Impressed her. Looking about at the other empty wallows and beds about she wondered if there was someone to talk to or even play with while her Own rested.

Seerowth was wide awake. The little brown was ready to learn new things, but C'lin was still sleeping. He decided not to bother C'lin just yet and explore a little. }:Hello, sister,:[ he said to Tohanath when he saw the green was awake.

Tohanath turned to the new voice in her mind and blinked at the brown. ((Hello, Brother Seerowth, I take it your Own is still asleep as well,)) she said as she stretched and rose. SHe'd grown very well and was filling out nicely though had a shapely figure, for a dragon. She was thin for a dragon, almost streamline but she was also a little on the large side as were her wings which were tucked neatly along her back. Lookign towards her Own she crooned softly when she saw Yinmin curl up on her Own's moving chest. Turning blue eyes back to the brown she butt her head against his neck gently. ((Why don't we wander a little while we await our Owns.))

The brown bobbed his head. He was large for a brown and was glad that Tohanath didn't mention it. He was very conscious of his size for a dragon. Seerowth stood with a stretch, then folded his wings against his back. };Yes, he was up late last night,:{ he answered, glancing back at C'lin. The brown turned whirling eyes back to the lovely. }:That sounds like fun, Tohanath. I would love to explore some.:[

Tohanath crooned again as she turned to her Own and watched as he shifted slightly, the movement roused Yinmin and she looekd up, her eyes beginning to whirl faster and flickering from green to red at the sight of the brown near her human. Seeing the problem Tohanth calmed the flit and soon her eyes turned back to green and she crawled up Or`n's body to curl up in her favorite spot when he was lying down, in the crook of his neck and shoulder. ((My Own's pet is very protective,)) she apologized as she began to walk down between the aisle of wallows towards the large doors that led outside, she wished to sun herself. ((Does your Own have pets, my Own's Yinmin is his only one.))

Seerowth watched Yinmin curiously. He wanted to investigate the little flit closer, but could see that she wasn't happy. The brown kept his distance until Tohanath had the green calmed down. };It is already. She's cute. I like her.:[ He glanced back at C'lin to make sure the boy was still safe. He would tell C'lin all about his adventures when the boy woke up. Seerowth shook his head sadly. }:No, he doesn't. I like the little ones though. Maybe he will get one for me to play with.:[

Tohanath tilted her head curiously. ((Yours has no pet? Well...perhaps if my Own's pet has a clutch he could give him one,)) she suggested as they stepped out into the sun and she crooned softly. ((Come, let us bathe in the sun and talk while Our Owns sleep the day away,)) she suggested before stretching out on the warm grass. Her pale jade body shimmered under the sunlight, Or`n dared not go a day without bathing and oiling her and the treatment was obvious, if her pristine hide was anything to go by.

Seerowth snorted softly. }:No, he doesn't. I think he would like that. I would like a little Pet. They seem fun.:{ The brown was far from being jealous of C'lin and was actually very curious about fire lizards.
Seerowth followed Tohanath out of the barracks. He looked up at the sun before laying down beside her. }:I like it out here,:[ he said. }:Maybe when Ours finally wake up we can get them to bathe us.:{

Tohanath crooned at the idea and raise dher head to turn it towards Seerowth. ((That is an excellent idea. My Own has not bathed me today and I feel slightly itchy on my tail. So, does your Own enjoy the lessons? My Own is tired since he has these lessons and then Harper lessons as well. That's why he is so ery tired.))

}:Then a bath we shall have,:{ the little brown said. Seerowth bobbed his head. }:C'lin loves his lessons. I do too. We both like to learn. But then he stays up studying all night.:{ Not that he blamed C'lin. He was just as interested in everything around him as C'lin was. }:Harper lessons? Does Yours sing?:{

Tohanath crooned and stretched slightly at the idea of a bath then looked to the brown. Oh yes, my Own studies as well. He does his Weyrling studies first then he attends his Harper Lessons and oh yes, he does sing. He sings beautifully, he could be a weyrsinger if he wanted but he fears he may not pay as much attention to me if he moves further up with becoming a Harper she sighed softly.

};They have a lot of lessons,:{ Seerwoth said, thinking of everything that C'lin was always studying. }:But I like it. It's fun to learn. Really? Do you think he'd sing for us? And I don't think he'd ever neglect you. No matter what else he did.:{

Do you believe so...he loves music very much and I ust worry a little... she lay her head in the grass and snorted softly. At his question about him singing she thought a moment and turned green eyes to the brown. I think he would, he's a little shy but I think he'd like singing for you and Yours

Seerowth watched Tohanath. He knew how she felt. He worried about His too. };Just make sure he doesn't do too much,:{ he said. The little brown's eyes whirled happily. }:I hope so. I would like to hear him.:{

Tohanath purred softly as she closed her eyes, the heat of the sun warming her long body. I will ask him when he awakens...as for him doing too much, matter how much I tell him not to he doesn't listen. It's always 'Just a few more minutes which ends up turning into two candlemarks or more...I think the Harpers put too much rpessure on him sometimes. The Weyrling Lessons he does fine in, but it seems like the Apprentice Lessons might be getting too hard or just too much for him to handle
It was as she mused on this that Oryen stirred. Groaning softly he stretched a bit as he lay back in bed, lifting his hand to run his fingers over Yinmin's tiny sleeping body, causing her to coo and cuddle closer as he did. With a yawn he slowly sat up and ran the fingers of his free hand through his long hair beofre rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

Seerowth thingyed his head to the side as he listened to Tohanath. He was glad C'lin wasn't quite that bad. }:He'll learn,:[ the brown said. }:He's young like us. He likes learning things. You will both figure out what needs to be done.:{ At least he hoped he was right. The brown laid his head back down on his forelegs.
C'lin woke a few minutes before Or'n and was now hunting for his clothes for the day. He hadn't realized that Seerowth was gone yet.

Or`n was up and dressing by the time he noticed his Tohanath was not in her wallow. Mine...where are you?
Tohanath raised her head at her Own's question and sent waved of reassurance to him. I am with Seerowth, Mine. Bornw of C`lin. We are sunbathing near the lake. Would you care to join us and perhaps oil as well?
Or`n blinked then smiled and shook his head, gently pushing Yinmin back up onto his shoulder as he buttoned up his vest and went to his drawer to pull out the oil jar he had for his Own, a gift from his mother of lavendar oil. As he walked from his bed he turned to see another weyrling and thought a moment before asking. "Are you, C`lin?"

Seerowth looked over when Tohanath looked up. He knew C'lin was up, but the boy seemed to have his mind on other things. };Is everything okay?:[ he asked Tohanath.
C'lin looked up at Or'n's question. "Yes, I am," he answered, suddenly realizing Seerowth was gone. He groaned. **Seerowth?**
}:I am fine. I am with Tohanath enjoying the sun.:{

Oryen smiled softly and nodded. "Um...I just got a message from Mine that she is out near the lake sunbathing with Yours. If you want we can both go an retrieve our wandering dragons," he said, knowing he'd have to give the other young man a little time to get dressed and ready to go out, but he could wait.

C'lin shook his head with a soft laugh. "Seerowth just told me pretty much the same thing. Just give me a second to throw on a shirt and then we can go collect them." The boy got up and found a clean shirt and pants. He quickly got changed, leaving his shirt untucked for the moment. "Ready?"

Or`n nodded and waited for the other boy to get ready. When he asked if he was ready the young blonde weyrling nodded. "Yup." Walking out together the instant he was outside he looked about, the movement awoke hie little Yinmin and she chirped as she begant o wake up fully, blinking against the sun. Or`n smiled down at her and pushed his hair in front of her so the sun wouldn't hurt her eyes before spotting the two dragonets. "There they are," he said as he pointed and looked back at C'lin for a moment before turning back and waving. I see you, Mine, can you see us? Near the door. Tohanath raised her haead and yawned before squinting at the two shapes. Yes, Mine, I see you, we are lying out in the sun, it's so warm... she purred before stretching out.

C'lin followed Or'n out of the barracks. He grinned as he looked up at the sun. It was going to be another perfect day. He smiled in sympathy when he caught sight of Or'n's little green flit. The sun had to be hard on her eyes.
Seerowth lifted his head when Tohanath did. }:Come sit with us,:{ the brown said. }:The sun is warm. You'll like it.:{
C'lin laughed. "Seerowth just invited us to sit with him. He says the sun is nice and we'll like it."

Or`n smiled and nodded. "It is very warm," he sighed as he turned his eyes to his Own. As he approached His own Shifted and curled her body and Or`n immediately took the invitation and sat on the ground, lenaing against her slender body. "I hope you had fun," he smiled as he reached up and caressed her neck gently. Oh, yes, very much, it's so clear and warm, and you slept well. Or`n smiled brightly. Yes, I did, thank you, now, did you still wish to be oiled? The little green crooned happily and lay back in the grass. "Did you wish to oil Yours?" he asked C`lin as he dipped his fingers into the jar.

C'lin smiled at his dragonet and sat down against him. Seerowth wrapped his tail around the boy. }:Did you sleep well?:{
**Yes, I did. Thank you. And I hope you are enjoying yourself.** The brown bobbed his head. C'lin looked over at Or'n and Tohanath. "I think I will. He needs it anyhow."

Or`n nodded and pushed the oil a little closer to C`lin as he turned to his Own and ran his oiled fingers over itchy spots. Tohanath crooned happily, eyes glowing a deep blue with complete contentment as he Own cared for her. "The Weyrling Lessons feel as if they're starting to run together. How are the lessons going for you?

Post by Sorra on Dec 2, 2008 21:41:16 GMT -5
"Thanks," C'lin said, picking up the oil and getting his own hands covered. Seerowth moved slightly closer as C'lin set to work on oiling him. The little brown's eyes drifted shut in contentment.
C'lin laughed a little. "They are running together. I have so many notes that I can't keep them all straight, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. I love having Seerowth, even if it means tons of notes."

Or`n nodded. "Agreed. It's a pain having to study Weyrling Notes and Harper Apprentice note...do you know I actually though that the ridges of a set of pipes was the same as the eyeridges on Tohanath...I was so embarrassed when I said that," he said, blushing as he remembered his teacher giving him a strange look as they'd gone over notes the night before. "But the same as you, I wouldn't trade my Tohanath for anything. I knew I was missing something...I though it was homesickness at first but..." he sighed softly as he gazed down at his green, his fingers dipping in the jar to gather more oil, "now I know what I was truly missing."

C'lin smiled in sympathy. "I can understand how that could happen. I've tried to keep up on some of my healer notes, but end up getting them confused." He chuckled a little. "Unfortunately, learning how to bathe a dragon is slightly different from helping someone who's sick." He was glad to know that he wasn't the only one finding lessons difficult. Not that he minded. He loved learning. "Yes, I know what you mean. I felt the same way, but Seerowth here took care of that for me."

Or`n nodded as he finished and wiped his hands over his arms a bit with the excess oil. "It's gotta be worth it one day," he smiled softly before the words really hit him. "You're training to be a Healer? Wow...and I though Harper training was hard, you have to learn all kinds of things about the human body and everything, right? Well...you are doing Healer training, not Dragonhealer, right?"

Post by Sorra on Dec 10, 2008 9:12:26 GMT -5
C'lin found a patch of semi-dry skin and set to work on making sure that Seerowth didn't start itching. The brown crooned happily. C'lin grined. "Yes, it will definitely be worth it one day." The boy nodded. "It is hard, but I've always liked helping people and animals. I was working with people to begin with, but now I might see about learning dragon healing."
