Weith had insisted on being bathed today. Nitrath was guarding the clutch at the moment and the bronze had collected sand in places that sand simply shouldn't be. There was especially this one spot on his hind end near the base of his tail...That is quite enough. R'men had had other plans for his free time than bathing an adult dragon. Not only that, but it needed to be done quickly because Weith was so adamant about pleasing Nitrath. He didn't doubt the safety of the clutch one bit, not with the whole weyr ready to defend them at a moments notice, but Weith had suddenly become a worry-wart.
You missed a spot.[/i] Weith commented, lifting a wing. The dragon was currently laying in the shallows of the lake, waiting for R'men to reach all of the vital places. He didn't need to be spotlessly clean, but he did need to get a majority of the sand off. With the missed spot gotten, Weith slipped into the deeper part of the pool and submerged himself as best he could, nose dipping briefly before it resurfaced. The bronzerider knew that the dragon would stay under for a little bit longer, just to ensure that nothing was missed. It made him nervous.
R'men didn't fear anything about Weith, but he had stripped down to his skin so he wouldn't have to change his clothes. Everything he had been wearing previously was currently sitting on the shore, Lucia nestled in them, watching. He was effectively naked, having waded up to his waist in the water for at least some decency. Waves undulated around him as Weith displaced water, resurfaced, and resumed his laying down position, instructing R’men on final touches. And since we’re doing this, I will need a good oiling, too.[/I] R’men scowled. Really?! How was he supposed to oil such a large beast by hand fast by any standard? If Weith wanted to be oiled, they were going back to their weyr for that, because there was no way on Pern he was going to get his clothes covered in oil or oil Weith naked in public!
