wandering about

[jester]

Arel kicked a random stone as she wandered around the weyr. She was bored and mad at her older brother. She had wanted to watch the ash dragon's flight the night it happened, but her brother had locked her in the candidate barracks before she even stepped out. She couldn't figure out why he wouldn't let her watch. "Wish there was something i could do."

[IceFire]

Ali Had gotten back from her lessons with the weyrwoman and had been sitting on the ground moping beside her lovely lavender colored partner. She sighed softly as she wondered why she could not stay when other females rose. They had never really cared until one of the golden queens from long ago had gotten in a fight. But those dragons were Golds' not Violets'.

Valexith Had listened to hers depressed mood and decided it was time to get someone to talk to her that was around her age. The dragoness surveyed the area with greenish-blue eyes and spotted a girl. "Excuse me. Mine is in need of your assistance." the violet state in a matter of fact way. Her lovely eyes looking to the girl but making her body look like it was more attentive to her bondeds' thoughts.

[jester]

Arel jumped when she heard the dragon's voice in her head. It had been the last thing she was expecting. "Shards!" Arel twisted her head around to find where the owner to the voice was. She soon spotted a violet dragon staring at her. Sitting next to the violet was her rider, a rider that seamed in the same mood she was in. Arel made her way over to the girl and her dragon. "Hey, the name's Arel and I think your dragon called me over."

[IceFire]

"Hey, the name's Arel and I think your dragon called me over."

Ali looked up at the speaker with a gasp. Her brown eyes were wide with shock before she got her feelings together under a calm and interested kind fo mask. her eyes looked over the girl before answering, "I'm Ali. If my Dragon did it was of her own acorded though the reason be unknown to me." The female rider glanced at her dragon with a raised eyebrow. "Why?"

The lavender dragoness chuckled softly at her rider's discomfort before looking at the girl. "Thank you" She turned her attention back to her rider as she heard the why come from her bonded's mind. "Facts are you need the company to get you out of this gloom its not good for you nor is it wise. You don't want to scare the boys off with such behavior either." The lovely dragoness stated with love to her rider.

"Oh your really helpful when it comes to me wanting to be alone Valexith. I care not for boys at this time so it does not matter." Ali stated hotly to her dragon.

The dragon chuckled even more. "thats a lie and you know it. You have your eye on a boy right now and do care what he thinks."

Ali ignored her dragon and consentrated on the girl before her. She had thought she had seen the girl from somewhere but was not sure of it at all.

[jester]

Arel lifted an eyebrow as the girl hurried to mask her emotions. Hmm, so she's that kind of person. Looks like it'll take a bit to open her up. Arel's head turned as the dragon's voice entered her head again. She gave a quick nod of the head before turning her attention back to the girl, Ali. Arel let out a sigh before plopping herself down on Ali's open side. She crossed her legs at the ankles and rested her hands behind her head. "Look, if you want to figurer me out so bad you should just ask. Stop staring so hard, you cant see what going on in my head. Trust me."

[IceFire]

Ali shook her head at the girl. "Sorry was just trying to figure out where I had seen you. Besides I doubt there is anything in your head that would help me at the moment. Anyways are you possibly a candidate?" Ali asked the girl while she tilted her head slightly. Ali hoped that she wouldn't be told off by one with or without a dragon at the moment. She looked up at her dragoness as a tail wrapped around her.

"Forgive my bonded she is currently having issues." The violet said softly to the girl before nuzzling hers' softly on the shoulder. "AliMine, be nice to the girl she could be a good person to be a friend to." Some more blue worked it way into her eyes as she let love flow from her to her rider.

Ali sighed softly at her dragons request and looked back at the girl. "Fine I'll be good Valexith." The young woman then turned her gaze to the sky wondering what she could possibly say to this girl.

[jester]

She's not the only one. Arel tilted her head to look at Ali. "Yeah I'm a candidate. I just came here not too long ago. Before that I performed in a caravan with my older brother, who I'm currently mad at." Arel still couldn't get over that her brother stopped her from watching the flight. He could have a least told her why she couldn't watch.

[IceFire]

"A Caravan? Interesting what did you do in it and why are you md at your brother?" Aly asked her eyes wide with curiousity. She had always wondered what it was like to be in one but had been steered away from those thoughts when she got bonded with Valexith. The young woman straightened her back as she looked on at the girl with full interest.

[jester]

Arel brought her hand from behind her head and placed them on her lap as a wide smile spread across her face. "Me and my brother were performers in a caravan entertainers. Our acts were pretty popular." A look of annoyance flashed across her eyes as she thought of the second part to Ali's question. "My stupid older brother wouldn't let me watch the flight. He locked me in the candidate barracks without telling me anything." Arel leaned back and looked up at the sky trying to imagine what she had missed.

[IceFire]

Ali smiled as well and was about to ask her what act she did when she stated the answer to why she was upset. Anger flared up in Ali as she sat there her hands were now in fists. "I so know the feeling right now. I was told to leave the weyr when that lowly female Onyx took flight." Ali's words were full of ice and flowly with poison as she talked. Valexith hissed as her tail whipped back and forth like that of a cat. Her eyes tinged with yellow as she peeled back her lips to reveal sharp teeth.

[jester]

Arel was about to tell Ali to tone it down a bit when something Ali had said clicked in her head. She searched her mind to make she she was right before turning to Ali with a puzzled look on her face. "I thought Onyxes were only male." Arel hadn't been in the weyr long, but she was certain which dragon were which color.

[IceFire]

Ali threw her head back and laughed bitterly before looking back at her. "Yes they normally are but Azelle's Emberyth is female and clearly is an Onyx." Her eyes flashed dangerously. "They told me to leave because they weren't sure what would happen. The female Onyx should be sterile and couldn't possible fight with a Violet let alone a Gold. Its beyond outrageous." She stated hotly before looking at the ground. Valexith rumbled and growled behind her. her eyes a more dangerous yellow now.

[jester]

A part of Arel thought that Ali's anger was justified but another part of her thought differently, very differently. Arel felt like they were both missing something, something important that changed the whole situation. She couldn't think what it could be, though the thought still hung in her mind. She had had thoughts like this before when her instinct told her she was missing something. She pushed the thought to the back of her head so she could concentrate on trying to calm Ali down. "You have a right to be mad, but aren't you relieved no one had to fight. Aren't you glad blood was not spilled over what could not be helped. Maybe they weren't expecting it ether, it might have been more of a surprise to them."

[IceFire]

Ali listened to Arel closely with her eyes still on the ground. She sighed softly mentally kicking herself to calm down before looking at the girl. "Yes I should be relieved but it still frightens me that there is something big thats going on and I don't know what it is or how to fix it." she confided with Arel. Her hand slowly unclenched as her eyes softened with sadness and confusion. "I'm not even sure what that will mean for us. Specially since she was caught by what seem to be a teal from not in our weyr. I thought we were alone in this weyr for miles with just a couple of holds near by." Ali looked down and sighed again as she placed her hands infront of her on her skirt. Ali could feel Valexith calm down behind her and place her purple muzzle on her bonded's lap.

[jester]

Arel smiled as Ali began to confide with her. She was glad she was able to get her to open up so quickly. Arel put her arm around Ali's shoulder just after Valexith placed her head in Ali's lap. "Don't worry, even though we don't know now, I'm certain we'll find out soon enough." Arel smirked as she thought of ways to find out. "And if someone doesn't want us to know, then we'll cause them so much trouble they'll beg to let us know."
