Dancing on Thin Ice (S'rring)

[Zephyr]

Have you met any of the new weyrlings? The green dragon asked, halfway submerged in the hot water. Only her nose and eyes were readily visible, but the girl sitting on the warm rocks, knees pulled to her chest could pinpoint the dragon's precise location thanks to the bond she shared with her. " You know I haven't, so why ask?" The brunette said somewhat grumpily. She hated it when Katearath pointed things out that were obviously...so obvious. Then you haven't heard? The dragon asked, glancing to her rider. There was an oddly mischievous look in her eyes, which were whirrling with pure amusement. "Heard what?" Lani asked, getting a little fed up with Kate's tauntings. Of course she was taunting. The green liked to taunt her rider about her feelings. Oh. Just that the boy we met impressed.

Lani crinkled her brow, staring into the rising mist of the hot springs. " What boy?" Kate couldn't mean... The cute boy with the bronze pest that kept wanting to run down your shirt. ...of course she did. Lelani sighed heavily, burying her face in her arms which were wrapped around her knees. Wavy brunette hair fell around her legs. " What makes you think I care if he impressed or not?"

The dragon lifted her head out of the water, watching her rider with that same amused glint in her eyes. Oh, I don't know. Why would you be hiding if you didn't? The girl lifted her head, shooting venomous barbs in the green's direction. She just wished she had something to throw at Katearath.

Hungry. Uth complained as he winged his way up towards the hot springs. The brown rumbled beneath him and S'rring clutched a bit tighter to the riding harness.

You're always hungry you big lug. We're almost there.

Behruth's will not be pleased with us.[/color] The brown was right, for once. While the newest weyrlings in the weyr were growing rapidly, they were still not quite to the point where long flights with their riders were an easy feat. In fact they'd just taken to rider accompanied glides across the weyrbowl earlier that sevenday. Still, Uth was a bit larger and stronger, at least that's how S'rring saw it. And the hot springs weren't all that far.

M'ta doesn't have to know. As long as no one catches us up here. You'll like the hot waters, you can relax and soak. Its good exercise, and you need it with as much as you eat. S'rring retorted with a bit of a grin. Finally they could see the pools of hot steaming water and Uth banked to find an area to land.

Circling once he slowly made his descent and then landed in an open area clear of rocks. The landing was a bit rough, had S'rring not been strapped in he may have fallen from Uth's back. Clearly something the pair needed to work on. Once Uth was settled on the ground, S'rring undid the straps and half-slid half-jumped down from the brown's back. Slapping his side lovingly he nodded towards the warm waters, "Go on ya big lug."

Stripping off his riding leathers he tossed them aside and looked around. Through the steam rising off the waters he could see someone sitting across one of the larger pools. Who is that? he asked his brown as Uth slid into another pool of warm water and rumbled happily.

Don't know.[/color]

Helpful.

With Uth being of no use to him he made his way along the rocky shoreline towards the figure until it came into better view, "Fancy meeting you here."
