Advice from the inexpierienced (os/lu)

Why had he agreed to this? R’vor sat cross-legged, his back leaning against Piwoth’s forarm, arms crossed. Elisabeta would of course think it was funny, recruiting him of all people to talk to some of the candidates about flights, and what to expect if they were caught in the cross fire of dragon induced lust. Of course he had said yes, Elisabeta was not one to cross and anyone with an ounce of brains would do anything possible to placate her. He supposed it was his fault for not checking on the lesson plans…

You could have asked, the blue dragon quipped, opening his mouth in a quiet yawn. The sun always made the dragon lethargic; it was just so nice and soothing. R’vor grimaced again. If he had wanted his dragon to play an active role in the lesson, he should have picked somewhere not so warm. Well, R’vor thought, tugging at his color, perhaps a tired Piwoth would be more allowing of candidate’s tentative touches than a fully awake Piwoth.

Well shard it all. Screw flights, R’vor thought in disgust. What was he supposed to say to the candidates. ‘If you did get caught in a flight, I can’t really tell you what to expect because I am in fact a virgin. A twenty six year old virgin.’ Shard it all.

Piwoth opened an amused eye. The blue didn’t chase much, inhibitated by his rider’s fears. And when he was allowed to chase, he never caught. I am older than you in dragon years and I’ve never done it either. Its about time we ‘did the dirty’ yes? “Shut up.” The rider muttered, shifting uncomfortably. “They know where to find us?” pcolor=blue]I told them.[/color] “Good.”

Perhaps they wouldn’t want to talk about flights, R’vor thought, brightening at the notion. Dragon anatomy was equally important after all, so it was a possibility that he wouldn’t have to reveal his virginal status to a bunch of students half his age.

Lilu walked cheerily towards the meeting location she was told about by Elisabeta, almost hopping. She always enjoyed a nice, sunny day, especially since it let her wear clothing that was extra-cute. Today she wore a flower-patterned mid-thigh skirt that was tight around her hips but flared around her legs, along with a peach-colored blouse that was snug around her torso, with puffy lace sleeves that cinched at her delicate wrists and a plunging open-v back that showed she didn't bother wearing a breastband today. Her skipping feet were bare, her toenails painted a vibrant green to match her fingernails, and adorned with copper anklets that jingled with each step.

As she approached the lounging blue and his rider, she licked her lips, tasting the cherries she'd used to dye them a dark red, and ran a hand through her now-curly crimson locks. Walking up to the pair confidently, an honest smile on her face, she exclaimed, "Hello! R'vor, is it? Oooh, and you must be Piwoth! What a handsome dragon!" Not even breaking her step, she walked directly up to the drowsy blue, reaching out to stroke his head softly.

Following not far behind, Osnat couldn't help but linger and slow in her step if only to show the contrast between herself and the other candidate. She hadn't spoken to Lilu yet - there really wasn't anything that she had to say - but if anything she was learning quickly from this alone that there was going to be very little common ground from which every day conversation could be contrived. She would just have to hope for some kind of strange similarity like a shared affinity for plankton or something, because...oy. It was really almost cringe inducing in her to see the properly primped woman run up to the dragon in a full on skip..... almost.

Instead, when Osnat got to R'vor in her easy gait she gave the man a head nod. Yes, a head nod - the type of greeting that men too often threw at each other, and here she was using it at a rider that she'd never met before. Don't worry, it was going to continue to get worse. Since the other girl was busy doting on the dragon, and she was still leery about the fact that they looked like the winged versions of the monsters from her Uncle's big fish stories, she paused in the presence of the blue rider and looked up at him calmly before saying, "So, uh, hows it hanging?" It took everything in her not to give him a playful punch, and she had to forcibly plunge her hands into the deep pockets of her slouchy pants just to give the appendages something to do while she waited for this R'vor's spiel about.... whatever it was he was planning on talking about.

Hmmm that seemed like a good way to fill the silence, "So R'vor... that's yer name right? Whats on the docket here? More talk about the crazy dragon boinking that goes on or something else?" She winked at him, assuming that as a rider he'd surely have had plenty of experience on the topic.

R'vor nodded to each of the candidates in turn, but grimanced as the first one, Lilu was it, he thought that's what Elisabeta had said she was named, walked forward without invitation to pat Piwoth's head. It didn't bother R'vor, but Piwoth let out a small growl in distaste, shifting away from the touch. Kindly tell them hands off, the blue told R'vor.

"I'm R'vor, and that's Piwoth, my blue, and Uhhh, we'll touch Piwoth later, when we talk about anatomy," the rider said quickly, shepherding the candidate away from the very irritable Piwoth. Then he adressed the second one. He blinked in confusion at the second candidate, taking a second to realize that he was the one being adressed. "Errr, yea, We'll be talking a bit about some, did you say dragon bonking? Yea, we'll talk about flights some, and then anatomy." Way to not be awkward R'vor.

"So flights. We'll, I heard what Elisabeta told you about them, and she hit it spot on. I wouldn't suggest getting near them unless you want to be bedded against your will? I mean if your looking for some rough love I guess you could hang around there..." Not appropriate. I'm nervous, what am I supposed to say? I can't give them any practical advise. I'll tell you what to say, just repeat after me.

R'vor did just that, parroting back everything Piwoth said without a second thought. "When dragon's fly to mate, their riders become controlled by dragon lust, as well as those in the vascinity. Not so much for green flights, but gold flights definitly affect the outcome. I am a virgin." Shard it Piwoth! R'vor cursed as he realized what he had been tricked into saying. Piwoth's eyes were whirling in amusment.

The blue rider rushed on, maybe they wouldn't notice the slip of the tongue? "Because the riders are controlled by the dragon induced lust, when the dragon's twine in the air, they are compelled to do the same with the rider of the winning dragon. Because you too will probably ride females, I would strongly suggest finding another candidate or rider who you wouldn't mind doing it with..." There was a definitie tinge in R'vors cheeks after his speach. "Any questions before I move onto anatomy?" R'vor prayed that the gods were on his side and the candidate's questions would have been answered.

[Aftershock]

Lilu pouted a bit as she was herded away from the growling blue, and said, "I'm sorry. He's just so handsome, I wanted to pet him." Hearing Osnat speak, she glanced over at the other Candidate, not realizing she was there until that moment, and wrinkled her nose a bit in distaste. How rude she was, and she acted like she was some kind of male dock worker. And what was she WEARING? It took all of Lilu's self-control not to stick her tongue out in disgust at the other girl's lack of fashion sense.

Lilu lowered herself demurely to the ground as R'vor began to speak, her legs tucked to the side so as to show leg without showing any more underneath her skirt. She smiled a bit, seeing how the rider was obviously uncomfortable speaking about such things, and her grin became more impish the more flustered the man became. When the admission of virginity, and the obvious surprise he had with the admission, came up, Lilu giggled quietly, covering her mouth with a hand to try and avoid embarrassing the rider yet further. As he concluded, Lilu raised a hand demurely, asking, "So... can you lock yourself in your room while your dragon has her Flight, and avoid it? Or does your dragon control you both? And if you like a boy, does it go the other way and your dragon likes that boy's dragon, if he's a rider?"

[Lotty]

Osnat was blissfuly unaware of the pique of irritation Lilu caused Piwoth, simply for the fact that she was a little more than preoccupied with the odd way in which R'vor was reacting to her. Why was he so uncomfortable, she hadn't a clue, but his hesitation in parroting the work 'boink' back to her was enough to cue her in on the fact that this fella was not just your average dragonrider. Of course, she wasn't sure yet what was off about him, he looked like a rider for all intents and purposes, with the prototypical physique and his skin freckled from the sun, but she narrowed her eyes briefly at him, attempting to peel back the layers and examine what was going on there in the head. Luckily for her, she didn't have to squint too hard... the man was about to blurt it all out for her.

She was almost willing to ignore the way he mechanically read off his little speech about flights and excusing the stiffness for a case of trying to rattle off a speech that was poorly committed to memory when he said a short quip that seemed distinctly out of place. Her jaw dropped just a little and she immediately let her head sink down to find the expression of the now sitting Lilu. It wasn't so much that Ossie wanted to know what the other girl thought. It was simply that she needed those words to be confirmed. Did he just blurt out that he was a virgin?

Osnat didn't actually care what he was either way. It most definitely wasn't any of her business, but the fact that he would be so cavalier as to admit it out loud is what struck her as funny. Hardly waiting for Lilu to finish her own question, the dirty blonde had a few of herself. A few that lack the coy quality that the other woman maintained, "Uhm... also... why would you blurt that you're a virgin?" She tapped her chin a few times, vaguely regarding him as some kind of project. If what he said was true then maybe she could help a brother out... after all her brother and his friends did the same for each other. It was the obvious fraternal sort of thing to do was it not? Before her mind could be set however she gave him another skeptical look, "Unless you've got yourself a weird sense of humor? I don't mind either way but if you're askin for help..." then sensing this was not the time and place for this discussion she waved off the notion with her hand, "nevermind, commence with the lesson..."

[Sebz]

R'vor scratched the back of his head uncomfortably. "I don't think that's an option Lilu," he said. Right? R'vor actually thought that sounded like quite a good idea, for him at least, but should he tell the candidate that? He was saved by Osnat, who chimed in imediatly afterwards, but after listening to her questions, decided that Piwoth and himself were going to have a very long talk after this was over.

"Uhhh..." What was he going to say? 'My dragon made me do it?' Somehow that just didn't seem like it would cut it, so he chose another option. "I was seeing if you were listening to me, I was a candidate once to you know, and I tended to zone out during my own lessons. Good job Osnat." Piwoth rumbled in amusement, opening a hooded eye to look at the young women. They know your lying. How would they know that? Piwoth just gave another rumble.

R'vor turned red at the next part of her statement. Asking for help? Ok, this lessons was steered in the wrong direction. Way way way in the wrong direction. Pressing forward, the blue rider continued, thanking the gods that the candidate had dismissed her own question. "Now, are we ready to move onto anatomy?" R'vor asked hopefully. "What do you all know so far?"

[Aftershock]

Lilu pouted cutely as R'vor attempted to skip to the next part of the lesson, saying, "But you didn't answer my other question. I'd like to know if only the dragon's emotions affect the rider, or if the rider's affections can affect their dragon." She attempted to ignore her fellow Candidate, however... apparently she was willing to de-virginize this poor man right here and now. It seems she was one of those girls who made up for not being cute by giving everything up for all the boys and getting attention by being loose and easy.
