Cailan looked up in the forest tree tops and continued to walk around exploring his new home. He had been searched only a few days ago and was already enjoying the new scenery. The young man had learned some of the names and the rules that came to this place. While he learned that everyone kept to their own and if he impressed a metallic then would have to it sun somewhere else. A log was nearby then took a seat admiring a brown dragon that laid nearby camouflaging into the scenery.
He had no preference for what type of dragon that was impressed just to impress. Cailan looked around a little more then thought to his family and how happy that he was given this opportunity.The young candidate couldn't believe Burimyu Weyr was this well hidden and decided to go exploring. A path was taken through the jungle till he came to a waterfall and took off his boots then put it in the water. He felt the cold water soothe him and then laid back looking up into the canopy. While his thoughts went to a particular clutch that had been yet to even be laid. He heard a noise then sat up and said, "Hello," wondering who was out there.

Keavon had been busy scouting the forest ground, looking for a place for himself. Not that he had any problems being around others, he wanted to find a place where he could go to be by himself, it was good to get away from time to time. He had found a few promising places, his favorite so far a small grass clearing next to a waterfall. He had returned to the place a few times over the few days since he had arrived at the weyr, and each time he revisited the site, the more he fell in love it.
Though he was new to the area, he had been fairly certain that nobody else had known of the field's existence, so when he heard a tentative call of "Hello," he froze with what he was doing- skinning a fish he had snared from the path of the waterfall- and cocked his head in confusion. Who could have found him?
"Whose there," Keavon replied cautiously, getting to his feet and moving silently over the ground until he was able to pear out of the underbrush. There was another boy there, around his age. He didn't recognize him, but then again, Keavon barely recognized any of the other inhabitants of Burimyu.

Cailan got up turning around to see another boy his age and smiled saying, "Hi, I'm Cailan," then tried to walk closer. He had not been expecting company yet meeting anyone else would be great. The whole weyr was very secretive and wondered if they would always have to live in secret. His worry was never being able to go home and explain to his uncle the wonders of a weyr or show him a dragon if he impressed. "Sorry to have frightened you," said Cailan as he ran a hand through his hair. "You a candidate to," asked Cailan as he looked at the boy wondering if he happened to be a candidate as well?
The only other people he'd meet we're a few green riders and a girl candidate. He had heard that most girl candidates we're after a gold and was glad that he was that limited. Cailan knew that that gold dragons we're rare and smiled a bit before he looked over at the waterfall then back at the guy. "I just arrived a few days ago from Blossom Hold," said Cailan trying to make conversation with the guy that was obviously one of the only few people around here that bothered to get out. When they impressed then they could travel anywhere when they took their dragons in between and would appear on a tropical beach somewhere.

"You didn't scare me," Keavon muttered, not being completely truthful to himself. But Keavon was not one to admit to being frightened. "I'm Keavon, and yes, I'm a candidate as well," he replied, closing the distance and shaking the boys hand. "Just searched from Blossom? As was I." Keavon didn't offer anymore information about himself, he was quiet by nature, though not a pushover, and it would need convincing to open up to most people.
Keavon took a seat at the edge of the water, dipping his fingers into the moving stream, before motioning the other candidate to sit beside him. Cailen seemed nice enough, and had offered no reason for him to be distrusted, so he as soon as the silence stretched long enough to be considered awkward, he asked, "What do you think of the weyr? I havn't learned much about it since I arrived."

A musical trill heralded the arrival of a small, dark blue fire lizard who darted behind Cailan's head. Barely a second later, a brown blur shot down in front of Kaevon's face. The feathered creature screeched with fury and banked up away from the waterfall. The razorclaw, for that's what it was, circled above the boys' heads, chattering at the fire lizard. It was almost as if he was scolding the other for some offense, though the blue was trying to ignore him in favor of snuggling into Cailan's shirt.
"Nhim! Tae! You ungrateful little ruffians! Get back here!" A woman's shout echoed through the trees. Hoayamae, complete with flour covered apron and hair starting to come loose, came panted through the underbrush towards them. She paused, blinking at the two boys who had attracted the attention of her companions. Sparing a quick glare for the fire lizard and razorclaw, she beamed at the boys. "New candidates? I'm Hoayamae. I make most of the food around here. Don't steal my pies and we'll get along fine."

Cailan was listening to the guy talk and smiled at him for a moment then was about to talk when out of nowhere when he felt something behind his head and then got a glimpse of a tail. The guy got a glimpse of a brown bird of some sort then saw a woman appear and stared talking. He felt something in his shirt and then giggled as she spoke then said, "Yes, I'm Cailan a candidate," as he continued to giggle. The candidate was very ticklish and had to smile at the thought of a blue fire lizard running around in his shirt.
"This is Keavon," said Cailan with a smile in between the giggles and waited for the other guy to start talking. He said, "Food well it is good," smiling at the food was good for here. Cailan hadn't pocessed a big appetite from arriving maybe it was being homesick or maybe just the nervousness of new place. His family most likely thought he was Selentias Weyr and hoped they didn't go there to look for him. It was common knowledge that Selentias Weyr had no clutches on the sands and he wanted to impress soon not later.

Keavon had been enjoying the peacefulness of the situation, so perhaps thats why he was so startled when a whirl of feathers flew in front of him. Caught of gaurd, he flailed slightly, and unable to regain his balance, rocked forward into the water, thoroughly soaking himself. He got up, his cheeks burning, but not in embarrassment. No, his cheeks were burning because he had been honestly startled and tended to turn red when that happened. He liked the water
Pulling himself out of the water, he tried to shake the drops from himself, failing misserably. Sighing in resignation, he turned to see what had startled him. Cailen was introducing himself to a woman.
"Yes, I'm Keavon and I'm a candidate as well." Smiling cheekily, he added, "So you'll be the one we'll know to complain to if our wherry is dry?" Keavon stuck a hand out to shake, and added almost as an afterthought, "You're pets are very handsome. Do they have any names?"

Nhim raised his head out of Cailan's shirt at a familiar voice. With a happy chirp, he shoot away from the boy, aiming for the familiar hiding place of Hoayamae's chest. Tae, seeing his prey was escaping, dove after him. Nhim tried to scramble down the front of Mae's blouse, but the woman snatched his wriggling form. "Don't you dare, little man. Do you want me to start wearing pink?" she scolded. "And you," she waved Tae off as the bird tried to exact revenge for whatever insult it had been. "I thought I told you to play nice? Did you see what you did to that poor boy?" Mae's voice was sharp, but with undertones that clearly said she cared about both her trouble makers.
Mae returned her attention to the boys, pleased to see that the wet one didn't seem to be hurt or upset. Indeed, they seemed like pleasant, polite boys, instead of ruffians like Nabrik and some of the others. "These two are Nhim," she indicated the fire lizard in her hand. "And Tae. Sorry they startled yah," she nodded to Kaevon. "Maybe yah can both help me taste some of the rolls I have cooling to make up for it. Mind how often you complain now," she gave a sly wink. "I might take offense."

Cailan smiled at the idea of food and heard his stomach grumble a bit. "I'd love to mamm," said Cailan as he looked over Keavon and hoped that he would agree to. He had tasted the food and it had been very good so far. The two creatures we're unique and he smiled at them remembering how he'd only seen a fire lizard a few times. A fire lizard in Blossom Hold was a rare thing and smiled a little bit remembering only ever seeing a brown. "Lead the way," said Cailan as he smiled at her and was glad that everyone seemed friendly despite them having to hide.
He had personally thought that the whole situation of hiding was one thing yet knew that it would be his only chance to fly on a dragon. Cailan waited for Keavon to give his answer and smiled at him a bit. The idea of rolls and sitting down seemed promising then secretly hoped that they both would impress. It would be great to have a friend in weyrling training and then could graduate together.

(So sorry for the lateness/shortness! I'll probably lengthen it, I just had to get something up quickly!)
Tae and Nhim were very beautiful creatures. Keavon looked with interest at the Razorclaw, it was nothing like anything else he had ever seen. He hadn't know that birds could look to humans. "It's no problem mam, I'm sure they meant to harm," the candidate replied good naturdly as the conversation turned to food. Food! Food was one of Keavon's favorite topics, the mere mention of it would make his stomach begin to growl in desperation.
Keavon was so preoccupied with the thought of food that when he heard Cailen say "Lead the way," he assumed that he was the one being addressed. So Keavon did exactly that. He picked a direction, a random what at that, and began walking, expecting the others to follow him. He figured his nose would be good enough to lead the way to the cooling rolls.
