Hilen was at Selentias Hold as he came into the house after spending all day out in the woods cutting down trees. He sighed as he went in to find only his oldest brother at home with food on the table. His mother had recently fallen ill and one sibling always returned home early to fix dinner. While he looked at him and smiled then went to wash up out front with the well. A sigh escaped his lips as the rest of his family showed up for dinner and soon was pouring water over his head.

When he had dried off the young man went inside to start eating. He sat down and they started to eat the stew with satisfied look as his stomach filled. The noise outside got the family's attention as they went outside to see a crowd gathering in the center of the town square. Hilen started to walk ignoring everyone else and passing others to get a look as dragons we're being mentioned.

The young man had seen a few dragons in his lifetime with the different riders that came in for gathers or searching for candidates. He knew that there was a clutch on the sands and that must be the reason while they we're here at this time. Hilen folded his arms as he waited for a few tall people blocked his view and hoped to see a few dragons. It would make for some good entertainment after he had worked outside cutting wood all day.

It was good to be flying again. Peppeth's injuries from the earthquake hadn't been severe, but they had taken more than a week to heal, during which flying had been a painful affair. Now, though, the marks on her back and belly were closing nicely and only smarted if they were rubbed the wrong way. A nice easy flight to Selenitas Hold and back was just what she needed to vent some pent up energy. Not only that, but she didn't have to bring Rakminoth anymore! This alone gave the young green a sense of freedom and joy.

Peppeth landed in one of the outer cotholds of Selenitas Hold, thrilled at all the attention she was getting. The earthquake and the shift in leadership seemed to have renewed some people's opinion of dragonriders, though she still got some suspicious looks. See all the people, Farryl-love? Who shall we take with us? Can we take them all? she asked excitedly. Farryl slid carefully to the ground, wincing at her bad leg. Peppeth was healing fine, but her foot had gotten a mild infection and was still quite painful. Any excuse not to be cooped up inside was still better than being stuck with Healers though.

Peppeth, dear, I think we'd have to take more than one trip to carry them all, she answered with a smile. She started to gaze around the faces that had gathered, when something blue and green shot away from her legs. Shards and shells, no! Farryl's eyes widened in horror. Why hadn't she realized they'd snuck aboard! "Excuse me," she said, limping past surprised holders with a scowl on her face. Those two were going to get it when she caught them!

Kurro and Faii, the conjoined salamandyr twins, were thrilled. No only was the witch lady gone, giving them freedom to wander around without threat of violent action, but Theirs was moving slower too! They were sad she was hurt, of course, but that didn't mean they weren't going to take advantage of her inability to catch them. There were pranks to be had and mischief to perform! After passing a few delightfully screaming females, Faii fixed on a young man at the edge of a crowd. Perfect! Us get him! Faii crooned happily. She tugged her brother forward, intending to leap at the boy's face. Kurro grumbled, half because Faii had seen him first and half because he refused to do anything she liked. No! Bad plan! Be sneaky! he insisted.

Pounce! Faii countered. Sneak! Kurro demanded. Their loud voices echoed in the crowd, causing many to back away from the odd pair. They drew closer to Hilen, probably failing completely at being sneaky or pouncing. They settled for starting to crawl up his leg, waving their frills at him evilly. BOO!

Hilen continued to try to look around the tall people who we're blocking his view when he heard shrieking. He turned to see some young girls shrieking and he tried to see what the big deal happened to be. The girls we're known for being scared of everything and it caused Hilen to roll his eyes. A look around he tried to find what caused them to be so scared. When he spotted a strange site of a blue and green pair of what looked like a lizard of some sort that was conjoined running his way then before he could back away went up his pants leg. The young forester continued to squirm and laugh they we're tickling him.

"Get out of there," said Hilen as he was moving in odd positions and trying to find them as they seemed lost in his pants. "Your tickling me," said Hilen as he continued to move around as all the other people looked at him. "Get out of there," said Hilen as he tried to move his shirt around and his pants. Hilen was very ticklish and they seemed to enjoy making him laugh. The young man continued to move around before tripping on a bucket and falling backwards to land on his butt.

The young man hissed in pain yet it didn't take long before he was laughing again. While pain moved across his body he was laughing from being tickled by the small creatures. "Come on get out of there," said Hilen as he continued to laugh as people we're watching him as if he lost his mind. Hilen felt all the eyes on him and yet realized he hadn't laughed this much in turns. It felt good to smile for once and he just continued to laugh from the tickle the small creatures supplied.

Kurro and Faii were thoroughly enjoying themselves. They had been hoping for screams, but laughing was just as good! Especially when they could keep the boy doing it even when he felt down. It was hard to stay in his clothes,though while he shook them, and even harder to remember where the clothing ended! Two salamandyr heads finally poked out of the waist of the pants when Farryl's angry voice could be heard coming closer. "Kurro and Faii, get back here or else!" The two mischief makers wilted. They'd been having so much fun!

Farryl limped through the crowd to the open circle where a boy was laughing hard and shaking his pants. It didn't take her long to figure out where her wayward salamandyrs had gone. She was impressed with the boy though. Either he was really ticklish, or Kurro and Faii didn't scare him as much as most of the rest of the Holders. That was good, she thought. Maybe he was candidate material. He did look the right age. Growing closer, she shouted for her pets, relieved that the returned to her so easily. She snatched them off the ground next to the boy and gave him an apologetic look.

"Sorry about them," she held out her free hand to help him up. "They love trouble and I didn't realize I'd brought them. I'm Farryl and that's Peppeth," she nodded back at the green dragon who watch them curiously. What do you think? she asked privately. I like him! Peppeth declared, settling herself happily to wait. Well that was a good start, Farryl thought. Though it was true that Peppeth liked almost everyone.

Hilen watched a woman come up to him and retrieve the two twin fire lizards. He smiled at them then said, "No, it's okay," as he looked at her then gladly took the offered hand in order to stand up. The young man looked to see a beautiful green dragon standing nearby then and said, "Your a dragon rider," as his eyes went huge. A man that didn't show his emotions very often the young man was very impressed. "Wow, what a gorgeous dragon," said Hilen as he loved what he'd heard about green dragons that got to do it all rise, fight, and search. "She's a beauty," said Hilen as he just looked star struck at them then regained his composure.

"What brings you out dragon rider," asked Hilen as he looked at her and was curious? Hilen wondered if she was just doing a fly through or actually hear for something. The young man had heard of the different events at the weyr and felt for them. "I'm sorry for what I heard about what happened at your weyr the damage," said Hilen as he smiled at her. He was a caring guy when he cared to show it and he hoped that it didn't effect the riders too badily. "We're your losses great," asked Hilen as he looked at her as other people seemed to go about their business now that the excitement was over?

He shook off the dust and smiled a little more at her. "Truly amazing creatures," said Hilen as he smiled at the two fire lizards.
