A part of her will be with you (Tags Farryl)

F’lyn followed the beat with foot taps as Piper and Pandorath began the harmony. Piper’s rich fluting tunes blending in perfectly with Pandorath’s gentle humming. Clearing his throat, F’lyn began to sing, his rich baritone blending in smoothly with his mind mates.

The little queen, all golden
Flew at the sea.
To keep it back,
To turn it back
She flew forth bravely.

As she attacked the sea in rage
A holderman came nigh
Along the sand
Fishnet in hand
And saw the queen midsky.

He stared at her in wonder
For often he'd been told
That such as she
Could never be
Who hovered there, bright gold.

He saw her plight and quickly
He looked up the cliff he faced
And saw a cave
Above the wave
In which her eggs he placed.

The little queen all golden
Upon his shoulder stood
Her eyes all blue
Glowed of her true
Undying gratitude.

Upon finishing Piper gave a particularly low warble and spread his wings as if taking a bow. F’lyn chuckled as Terilyn squealed in delight and waved her tiny fists in the air. From her propped up position on F’lyn’s bed, she had been privy to the whole performance. In fact it had been concocted just for her. It was one of her favorite songs and Pandorath loved it to.

“You know boys we carry a pretty darn good harmony.” As if in agreement Terilyn gave another delighted squeal and giggled. Pandorath rumbled happily and touched his bondeds mind. If his hadn’t impressed he could have probably made a nice harper! F’lyn laughed at that as Piper launched himself into the air to crash land on the bed, drawing another round of giggles from Terilyn. The little blue loved to perform for the baby. He had quickly discovered that she loved his stories! Plus she was always a willing audience. What he needed was to get his brother and his bonded up here as well. Then they could put on such a merry show. Oh yes, yes, yes.

F’lyn shook his head at Pipers exaggerated antics and almost missed the knock at the door between the fir lizards excited warbles and the baby’s exuberant babbling. Frowning the Blue rider gave a sideways glance to his dragon. “Where you expecting company?” Pandorath cocked his head and replied softly. No he was not. Did he think maybe the gold rider had come to call? F’lyn thought about this for a moment before shaking his head in the negative. I doubt she would swing by without first asking. Pressing urgently on Piper’s mind to watch the baby, F’lyn strode forward and opened the door. He stared at the green rider in the hallway and gave her a soft smile. “Can I help you?” Who was she? Maybe she had accidentally gotten the wrong weyr?

Farryl was so nervous she nearly jumped out of her skin when he opened the door. She was standed with her hands behind her back, holding the present she had brought. Hobbs and Zellos were on her shoulders, as always, her constant guardians. She didn't know the blue rider hardly at all, and had only heard from the creche woman that he had been taking care of Terilyn. She was glad he was, he looked a kind sort of person, but she still felt a pang of guilt for not being able to do it herself. It had just been too hard and too painful to think about Raylin, much less care for her child.

"I..um.." She cursed inwardly. She wasn't usually this lost for words. Hobbs, having no such problem, chirped a greeting at the man. Zellos just glared at him from his hiding place behind Farryl's hair. Have you seen her? Peppeth asked, sounding almost as nervous as her rider. Is she well? Can I see? I haven't gotten in the door yet, Peppeth, Farryl replied patiently. I'll ask if you can come see too.

Somehow, Peppeth's nervous energy made Farryl feel more confidant. It was strange how she had that effect on her. "I'm Farryl," she explained to the man with a small smile. "Is Raylin's..." She stopped for a moment, a sad look in her eyes. It was still hard to think of Raylin. Then she shook herself and kept going. "Is Terilyn here? I have something for her."

F’lyn raised an eyebrow at the pets gracing the young woman’s shoulders. He felt two curious presences in the back of his mind. Piper and Pandorath no doubt. Such busy bodies they both where. He pressed the two blues away with assurances that she was no threat and was just here to see the baby. That seemed to settle them for the time being. When the green rider introduced herself the blue rider smiled and stepped back gesturing for her to enter. “It’s nice to meet you Farryl. Terilyn is indeed here and you came at a good time. She just ate and isn’t due to nap for a few hours yet so she’s in a good mood.” He smiled warmly before turning from her. One of Raylin’s friends. If he wasn’t mistaken her dragon was Peppeth, Ebolath’s only surviving sister. Sad how many had perished due to the war.

Piper sat up on the bed and fluted curiously as he caught sight of Hobbs. A part of the blue was very nervous, but as of yet there wasn’t any threat forthcoming so he decided to be friendly. Craning his neck he turned to chitter at Terilyn in explanation. Someone was here to see her, they where. She needn’t worry, he still had plenty of stories to tell her later. Leaping form the bed Piper took wing and settled carefully on F’lyn’s shoulder. His talons had been clipped shortly after his arrival but still they where rather long. The little blue was careful to curl his talons in as he alighted so they wouldn’t accidentally poke his. Terilyn watched the blue go with wide eyes before she cried out in an excited babble.

F’lyn crossed the room in a few strides and picked the little girl up before turning to regard Farryl again. Terilyn clung to F’lyn’s shirt tightly and immediately looked up at Piper, babbling to him happily. It took the baby a few moments to realize Farryl was there and as soon as she noticed the woman she fell silent, staring at the girl with wide hazel eyes. Suddenly she giggled and smiled at the green rider. The blue rider smiled down at the little girl before looking back up at Farryl. “Seems as if you’ve been accepted.” He joked even as Pandorath crooned a late welcome to the young green rider. “Come and meet her. Most people tell me she looks a lot like T’rid. Never met him but Teri sure doesn’t have Raylin’s eyes.”

Pandorath watched the goings on with a interested air. Flicking his tail back and forth he remained sprawled out on his couch. He offered no other sound after the croon. He merely watched and waited for more to happen. Farryl would surely love the hatchling. Who wouldn’t love her? The dark blue touched F’lyn’s mind with a relaxed string of images. It would be rude to not extend an invitation to Peppeth wouldn’t it? The blue rider gave a mental nod to his dragon and cleared his throat. “Pandorath says that Peppeth is welcome to share his ledge. Please let her know that Pandorath can’t speak. He’s mute but he still has his own way of communicating. Mostly through imaging and emotion. He doesn‘t want to chance offending her you see.”
