Weyrling lesson three (Juniors)

[Tashe]

As was the routine, F'rah woke the Weyrlings up at dawn, though he didn't wait for them in the usual place. Luke warm eyes danced slightly as he waited near the river for the Weyrlings to arrive, today they were going to work outdoors and in the sunshine. It was time for a change in their lesson plan, especially since the Weyrleader had taken over a few of the lessons, to 'get to know' the students of his bronze's clutch. So far S'rei seemed to have forgotten, or at least had not bring up, that threat he had issued about keeping Paryal in check. But F'rah had forced himself to laden the Weyrling with extra homework and chores.

Shaking his head slightly to himself, the Weyrlingmaster looked up to see his class standing quietly waiting for him to speak. It was odd that he had not noticed their arrival, but when this man got to thinking he 'got to thinking' Raising his hand in greeting and letting a smile cross over his face, F'rah's eye wondered over the young adult's heads, taking a mental attendance.

"Morning all, I hope you slept well because today we'll be working hard and outdoors. Today's lesson will not only focus on firestones, as you have been working on with the Weyrleader and myself, it will also center around basic dragon first aid. We'll also be tossing in some bonding and strength excersizes, as well as a beginning course of our Weyr's sign language." Clapping his hands together and pivoting on his right heel, the Weyrlingmaster placed his arms across his chest as he thought. With a small wave of his wrist to Styth, the man began walking to the very edge of the river, where bags of firestone lay awaiting the class. "Alright! But first a pop quiz! I'd like each of you to pair up with someone you aren't to familiar with, aka someone you don't normally talk to." For some reason, he felt that today was going to be interesting...

/Young ones. Its time for lessons! Weyrlingmaster F'rah is teaching today, and you all will get to participate in the lessons./ Spreading his dark chocolate wings as he sent a trickle of thought to the Weyrling dragons, Styth shifted from one foot unto the other as he lifted his head and body out of the water. If only Reysalth was there to enjoy the day with him it would be perfect, it was starting to look as if it was going to be a sunny, cloud free day... Shaking his hide and then settling his wings along the ridge of his back, Styth jumped from the slushing waters to the dry ground as F'rah started the lesson.

A very sleepy Beka was fighting to stay awake, her eye lids drooping occasionally, only to be nudged sharply by Thoth, he understood, but he couldn't let His sleep. He wasn't sleepy, he'd gotten enough sleep, but thanks to Anai, His hadn't. Whatever had gotten into teh Green the night before, she'd been full of energy, waking Beka the moment she'd dozed off. Said flitt was currently sleeping soundly in the barracks.

Well at least someone got sleep! Beka couldn't help but scowl at the Weyrling Master, she wanted nothing more than to go back to the furs, yet she couldn't. It wasn't fair. She'd almost dozed off again, only to have Thoth nudge her awake again.
Mine, we can't sleep yet. There are things to learn! Sharding dragon, why did he get to be chirpy? Glaring at him, though her expression softened somewhat, Beka smothered a yawn.

What? His next words had Beka's attention, and she glared at F'rah. She was not talking to someone she didn't know. If he told her to again, she'd tell him exactly where to stick that bell of his. She was not talking to a stranger. Thoth's croon was reassuring, yet, he didn't much like the idea either, leaning against Beka's leg.

This wasn't fair, first His was exhausted, and she had to battle through a lesson, now the Weyrling Master had to put her with someone His didn't know? Though, if he was honest he felt sorry for the person paired with His when she was so tired, she wasn't in a pleasant mood due to it... He just hoped he wasn't forced to partner up with someone he didn't know. He would have much rathered to be paired with Calistoth...

~*~

Okay, so who shall we pair up with? Jeminorth asked brightly, nudging Rielana in the knee gently, soft voice loving and kind as she giggled softly as Rielana's questioning expression. As usual, Hers had been day dreaming, oh wasn't it good she had her? Other wise they'd never get anywhere, and the lessons would be useless, then they'd never be able to fly.

"Fly? What?" Rielana glanced at her green with confusion, trying to hide the affectionate smile that seemed to jump to her lips whenever Jeminorth looked at her with those bright eyes, eyes that were right now amused.
No, not today sweetest. We are bonding, and strengthening. First we have to pick someone to talk to for a quiz. It has to be someone we don't know. I don't want to go with Calistoth though... Hesitenet about saying something about her sister, Jeminorth's dislike was obvious and Rielana smiled, petting her absently.
"Why not wait for others to come to us then?" She offered easily.

~*~

Religna dind't want to go with any of them, she wanted to be Ith's partner, and Ith's alone. She liked her own companty, did no one get this? Okay, before she'd Impressed she hadn't minded talking to Laurie, but that was a one time thing! She'd been missing Rawign, which she never had to do again... Though she did wish he had Impressed, simply because then she'd have someone she liked to talk to.

Maybe one of the girls? I know you don't like the others Mine, but I think it would be best... Just this once? Ith understood Hers' dislike for others, she might not agree with it, and besides, Hers did say it wasn't a dislike exactly. Just a preference for her own company. Like some, she wanted to let someone else approach her, though Ith would rather it be female. Hers didn't seem to like the males much.
Maybe wait to see who's left? Or let them ask us? I don't think we're that unapproachable...
As long as we don't get stuck with F'rah.

Cezine made her way out toward the river, awake and alert. She'd been making an effort to wake early on lesson days, early enough to be ready and go to the kitchens for a cup of klah or two before returning to wake her Brennath. It was a good routine, one that she was glad to have started after arriving so late to the very first lesson. Her green followed alongside Hers, picking her way with care to any obstacles on the ground. Cezine was watching her with interest, wondering if the little dragon feared tripping, or perhaps cutting her feet on sharp rocks. Her guess was as good as any, for Brennath was clearly not in an explaining mood.

Shaking her head slightly, the young woman drew up to the small crowd of weyrlings already present on the riverbank. What were they doing by the river today? Brennath joined her, nudging Hers lightly before turning to regard the Weyrlingmaster as he spoke. They were going to pair up? But there weren't many present yet. Swiveling her head, Brennath checked those who were, going over the weyrling pairs carefully. We should choose now, Mine. Before all the girl pairs are taken. Cezine blinked at her dragon questioningly before hiding a smile and turning as well to look over the weyrling pairs present. There wasn't much to choose from, but Brennath was insistent. Before Cezine could even come to a decision on her own, her green trod forward, lowering her head and nudging Jeminorth lightly. Clutchsister! Would you and Yours like to be partners with me and Mine?

Smiling openly at her green, Cezine approached Rielana and offered the other girl a hand to shake. "Good morning; I'm Cezine." Even if this pair declined Brennath's offer to be partners, there was no harm in getting to know someone, was there?



Rocks skittered across the ground, kicked up by a particular bronzepair on their way to the riverbank. C'lryn was jogging, his feet thudding against the ground. Minoath was having little difficulty keeping up, though he looked rather odd with his hop-flutter gait speeded up to match the quicker pace that His was utilizing. For once he'd managed to get the boy up in time for their lesson today. Minoath was rather pleased with himself, something that wasn't dissipated in the least at the sight of a small crowd of weyrlings waiting at the bank. I don't see why we're having a lesson out here C'lryn grumped good-naturedly as they slowed and shuffled up to join the crowd.

Perhaps we'll be permitted to swim after the lesson was Minoath's equally good-natured suggestion as he plopped down next to His. C'lryn just shook his head, reaching behind him to rub the back of his neck as he yawned. Sharding early lessons... why did they always have to be in the morning? Didn't anyone believe in night classes here? Despite his sleepiness, the lad did take the time to glance about. Girls... hm. We have to partner with another weyrling pair for this lesson Minoath informed His. Ah. Well. C'lryn took another look around. There were only girls around so far, with the exception of one boy, who was Impressed to a blue. Now, he certainly didn't have any qualms about pairing up with the ladies. He rather enjoyed spending time with them.

But considering that the girls who were present were all bonded to greens (and one blue), C'lryn wasn't in a hurry to choose any of them, simply because what if this was an exercise the dragons had to do together? He didn't want Minoath to outmatch anyone by much, which was why he made the decision to wait and see who else showed up. A nice brownpair or another bronzepair would do.
