Lylia is a sad young woman now, scorned by a cookie hater. Silently,
she offers one to Auri, munching slowly on her own.
Her eyes narrow slightly, giving her best dark look at Derwin. She's
still dangerous, just with a brat standing before her.
Tyara steps away for a moment to scrawl out a message to someone.
Akira runs over to the flit and grabs its paws to start dancing with it. Whee!
Minako burbles and grins up at Faye. "Faye! Hi-hi-hi! What's going on? How're Maeva and Khia 'n everyone?" She's special; she can ask questions like this...wait. Questions like what? "How've you been?"
Tyara returns, sending a firelizard off to deliver the message.
Derwin throws a funny look back at Lylia. That's what angular dark eyebrows
are for, right? Hyperactivity? He's got too
much of that dealing with Auri and Siannen already. Dark looks, those
he can handle.
Maeva curls her tail protectively about the klah, rumbling in her firelizard
creel. Um - is she chanting? Erm. Squawk!
The firelizard shrieks and flutters her wings as Akira dances with
her. "Um. Mae, shh. Ah, Khia? She's fine. But.. Mae's
bugging me. She gets creepy at times." A glance is shot to the green.
Minako peers over at Maeva, then up at Cloud. "Weird? How weird." At
least she doesn't eat cookies..or at least,
/attempt/ to eat cookies.
Akira laughs. "Come, more dance flittie!" This is fun. Or it was until he spills over the klah.
Lookit, Faye can rumble too! She gazes over to her klah with a stressful
sigh, exasperated and all. She's not mad at
Akira. "Mae, come over here and quit causing trouble?" she pleads in
a sort of rhetorical question. Oh? The green
listens? Indeed - she flutters and perches on the Weyrcook's shoulder,
but no, no, she doesn't stop flirting with nearby
male f'lizards.
Lylia sighs once more, softly, before poking Auri's back. Her brat defender.
And she's not /hyperactive/, it's just that
the brats have been a bad influence on her. "How're you doing Auri?
I haven't seen you lately." And in a lower voice, for
the younger girl's ears only, she whispers lightly. Oooh, evil one,
she seems. And then the brooding glare returns.
Cloud chirps down at Minako, then glides down to land on her head. Hey..is that..a cookie? Can he have it? Please? Maybe?
You whisper, "Hey Auri... Got an idea on how to cheer up Derwin?" to Auri.
Minako sighs and tries to lean her head back to look up at Cloud, but
failing since he has taken a firm hold on her hair
to keep from being seen. "No, you can't have the cookie, Cloud. Cookies
are bad for you." A blue, cookie loving
firelizard. He's been at the 'Reaches to long. "No cookies."
Auri whispers, ""Um...I know! Hug 'im! And lick 'im! I hug, you lick?""
Fanar arrives from deeper in the Weyr.
Akira snickers, and waving bye to Mae, manuvers over to the cookie basket. A cookie is taken and reached toward Cloud.
Brooding glare? Hey...that looks familiar. Derwin meets the brooding
glare with an apathetic brooding look, shrugs, then
turns to stare at that absolutely /fascinating/ wall. And yawns.
Cloud snaps at the cookie, but gets stopped by a forceful jerk of Minako's
head. Can...can he please have a cookie?
Please, Minapet?
You whisper, "Erm.. It's not good if I lick him, it looks a little out of place for a rider. I hug, you lick?" to Auri.
"Maeva!" Weyrcookie squeaks, trying to keep her tone down, while batting
at the green crawling through her hair in an
attempt to - flirt? Nice techniques, there, Mae. "/Really/!" Faye continues
to hiss in this vicious little whisper. She's
just /irritated/, on how such a young green can be so coquettish.
Auri forgets herself, and blurts out loudly enough for everyone to hear,
"No, no, Lylia! /You/ have to lick Derwynnie.
Not me. I'm better at hugging, you're better at licking...Okay? You
lick him."
Minako blinks as Faye hisses, and shrinks back slightly. Mad Faye. Mad-mad
Faye..."No, Cloud, no cookies! No-no!" No
cookies.
Fanar says, "can i have a cookie?"
Fanar says, "hello Sirra"
Minako blinks, stretches her arm past Akira to give Fanar one of her
coveted Rainbow Cookies. "Here 'ya go." Yum!
Rainbows.
Sirra has disconnected.
Sirra falls asleep.
Halfway hooded eyes snap open. "Wah?" Derwin looks at Auri and Lylia
as if they had turned into...paisley polka dotted
dragons. "Uh...hold on...what?" Wow, so many words for Derwin...
Fanar says, "yummy! Thank you!"
"Erm..." Ignoring the faintest of blushes, Lylia hisses at the girl.
"No!" Okay, brats /are/ scary. Her scowl may not be
apathetic, but it certainly turns irritated. "No no no...." Bad brat.
The paisley polka dotted rider does notice Derwin's
words... And smirks faintly. "Hrm."
Faye rolls her eyes, over-exaggeratingly, and settles into a chair lazily,
reaching for a cookie. No, no. She's not mad.
She's. Well. 'Irritated.' There's a sort of difference. "Mae, go..
talk.. stop walking around, agh! Go talk to Denim,"
she commands, brushing the green out of her hair. "Eesh." And all was
well again.
Akira has disconnected.
Akira falls asleep.
Minako burbles and looks quite smug. Of course the cookie's good. "Yup. Those are special Rainbow Cookies." Made just for her..maybe..or something. "Aren't they good?" Yup.
Fanar says, "yep, They are good!"
Auri turns not into a paisley polka dotted dragon, but into something
infinitely evil. An evil-brat Auri.
(*dun-dun-duuuun*). "C'mooon Lylias," she shouts out loudly and teasingly.
"You know you wanna." And with a burbling
giggle, she sings, "Lylia and Derwin, sittin' in a tree...K-i-s-s-i-...um...I...um..."
She turns and whispers to Lylia,
expecting support. "How do you spell kissing? I lost track. K..i..s.."
Fanar says, "K-I-S-S-I-N-G! FIRST COMES LOVE THEN COMES.. what is next?"
Fanar looks confuesed
Akira has connected.
Akira wakes up.
Minako hmms and munches one of her own cookies, then reaches up and
hands one to Faye. "Have a cookie, Faye-pet." What's up with Minako's whole
'-pet' phase..Cloud's getting to her. Maybe..ooh..kissing song? "Handfasting,
Fanar." Like
Loren..eventually.
Akira glares at Nako, and this time shoves the cookie at Cloud's snout. "Here flittie!"
Faye peers at the oh-so talented singers. They would make excellent
Harpers, wouldn't they? She blinks and looks blankly
at the rainbow cookie. "Cookie? Ooh; thank you!" She takes the cookie
appreciatively. Yaaaaaay!
Fanar says, "HANDFAST, THEN COMES THE FIRELIZARDS IN A BABY CARRAIGE"
Minako acks and proctectivly puts her hands behind her head to catch
Cloud lest he fall. "Akira! No, Cloud, no cookies!
Ow! Cloud, could you let go of my hair? Maybe?" Painful. /Very/ painful.
If Akira ever becomes a Dragonrider, he's gonna
owe her a /lot/ of trips to Tillek. Oh yeah. "Ow-ow-ow..ah..thank you,
Cloud." Relief.
"You know I utterly hate you, correct?" Lylia's turning a bit more crimson
now, letting wisps of hair fall over her face
to cover it. Stepping on Auri's foot in an attempt to silence the brat,
the EVIL brat, Lyli grumbles faintly, for Auri's
benefit. "No one /minds/ when the weyrbrats disappear... Or when the
dragons eat them..." She doesn't, and continues to
glare at the brat. Safer than looking anywhere else. Fanar also earns
an evil stare. "You're new. Don't push it." Rawr,
cranky rider.
Akira falls asleep.
Fanar hides in a corner. scared as a baby wherry in a dragon pen
Vesell goes home.
Minako eeers slightly at Lylia, and is quite happy that no one noticed
that it was she who supplied the 'handfasting'
part...hey, she didn't know it was about Lylia-pet..er..Lylia. "So..Faye..like
your cookie?"
Fanar whimpers, and wish's the scary lady would leave
Derwin fervently and continuously thanks Faranth that he is one of the
few that are not able to blush....except for the
tips of his ears..but he doesn't know that. He glares at Fanar, and
snaps at Auri, "Oh, shove /off/ Auri." But as soon as
the words leave his mouth, he's sorry. "Mrph...I mean...Oh Faranth..."
Fanar holds his stomach and curls up in a scared ball
Fanar says, "FARANTH, FARANTHS SHELLS, SHARDS, hehe, Derwin Swore! ha, pbbbb. "
Peering at Lylia for a quick moment, Faye blinks a couple times. Rawwwr,
would be right. She snaps her attention back to
Minako. "Ooh. Yeah. Yum. Veeerrry good cookies," she responds as she
continues nibbling the rainbowtacular cookies.
They're so good, they're rainbowtastic. "The wonders of dyes."
Lylia is a scary lady and regularly lurks the caverns, so to here she
will stay, now ignoring Fanar and the others.
"Don't be mean to Auri!" Fanar's spared from another glare, Derwin
receiving it instead. She rawrs, see?
Auri's eyes double in size, watering like twin impending waterfalls.
Not just one lip wobbles, but two. Wobble, wobble,
wobble. "I..I..I.." She looks forlornly at both Derwin and Lylia. "Well...well...you're
both just /mean/." And she breaks
down sobbing rather loudly, in fact.
Old Auntie sit-by-the-fire Hits derwin over the head for swearing infront of the children
Minako blinks and falls out of her chair at Fanar's sudden shout. "Shards.
Is it just me, or does my head seem to be the
target of choice today?" Rubbing said head as she mutters this, she
struggles up. "Um..Fanar? Could..could you please
warn us 'fore you shout like that?" It's skeery. Oh. Faye said something.
"Yup. They're pretty..almost too-o-o tasty to
eat!" Yup.
Fanar says, "gotta go"
Fanar steps into the shadows that lead back into the Weyr.
Derwin gets whacked over the head, cried at, and scolded all at the
same time. There's only one thing to do at a time
like this...swear. "Shards, Faranth, Shells..." He flicks burning gaze
at Lylia. "Hypocrite."
"Basically." Lylia shrugs slightly. "But at least I don't /yell/ at
her..." After all, when you hiss and glare, you
shouldn't raise your voice. Ignoring the swearing Derwin, she crouches
by her brat friend, staring up with pleading jade
eyes. "Auri-kins... Pleast don't be upset, you know you're my favorite
weyrbrat, I'm just a little sensitive to teasing
lately." Lis proved that. One hand on the girl's shoulder, she throws
out the offer. "Why don't you dry your eyes and you
and me can have some cookies? Please?" She does her best puppy-eyed
look, secretly hoping for this method to work.
Le gasp. Faye said something? Of course she did. She's not exactly silent.
Unless it's necessary. "I wanna make these
some time," she murmurs contently to herself, nibbling to the cookies.
Suddenly, she nearly drops a cookie as she zips
her crystalline brick-brown optics to Derwin. /Zip/. That caught her
attention. But not for long as her Denim starts with
the same attitude at Maeva. "Shh, Denim, just.. go fly with her or
something. Pwease?" Begging a firelizard?
Minako * must go for a while.. :P Bye all! ::snugs all 'round!::
:D
Minako exchanges the protection of stone for the bowl outside.
Cloud suddenly disappears ::between::!
Tyara goes home.
Auri sniffles, and tries to talk through hiccups. "You're...you're...meaaaaan.....
Don't want cookies....You're mean..."
She sniffles pathetically, and points an accusing chubby finger at
Derwin. "And you're even /meaner/!" Sniff.
A brat that doesn't want cookies?! Lylia /knows/ that she's in trouble
now. "Auuuri." The brownrider once more pleads
with the girl. "What can I do to show I'm not mean and that I think
you're the bestest weyrbrat?" She scootches a little
closer, still looking up pleadingly. Oh dear, this might be bad.
Michel arrives from deeper in the Weyr.
Michel heads north into the redolent depths of the kitchens.
Michel comes out of the kitchens, the smell of fresh baking following
just behind.
Michel steps into the shadows that lead back into the Weyr.
Faye watches with a little lonely pout as Minako leaves, and then unhappily
to the crying Auri, the arguing brownie, Ly,
and that 'folk, Derwin. Too much for a young Weyrcookie to handle,
yes? You could say that. Can cooking soothe her
environment? Apparently not, as she shuffles back to a tranquil area
to take a nap. Looverrlyyy.
Faye steps into the shadows that lead back into the Weyr.
Auri wipes away tears with her hankie, looks at Lylia, and blinks a
couple of times to clear her eyes. With one last
sniffle, she points at Derwin once again. "Mm...you can lick 'im. Yah-huh."
Is that a smile? Is that evil? Yah-huh.
Derwin groans, moans, and mutters underneath his breath, his head in
his hands, giving himself the guilty treatment quite
severely. And then Auri speaks, and his head pops up. A frantic look
flies into cobalt eyes and he stares at Auri, then
Lylia. "Wait..what?" Poor, confused boy...
Edaeyn stalks restively in from the Central Bowl.
Lylia sighs slightly. Nope, the guilt's gone, but it /has/ been replaced
by amusement. A wicked smile toys at her lips,
now that the mention doesn't come as a surprise. She gives a second
sigh of exaggerated effort, before giving a slow nod.
"I guess I have too... But only," her smile widens, a feline's look,
"Only if you hug him."
Auri's smile widens, dimple showing cheerily. "Ok!" That was the original
plan, no? She spread pink-clad arms wide,
skipping towards Derwin, callign out, "Heeere squishy, squishy, squishy!
Heeere squishy!" like she would to a canine.
Laughing /would/ be bad, but Lylia grins and slinks in closer, just
behind the brat. "Heeeereeee Derwin!" She's not one
for nicknames like 'squishy', but is utterly willing for some fun.
The evil beam is in her eyes. Fun, really!
Eliscar walks in from the Central Bowl.
Eliscar says, "Hello"
Michel arrives from deeper in the Weyr.
Derwin's eyes dart around the room. Sanity? Anyone? A pleading look
is given to Lylia. And she's supposed to be
pratcially his age! And a rider, at that. "Mrrrph," he says, in lieu
of anything comprehensible that could be uttered at
the moment, looking /quite/ scared.
Michel scribbles in a notebook as he heads to the hearth for a mug of
klah and limps to the closest table. He takes a
sip and sets the mug on the table before making another note.
Eliscar gets a large cup of Klah, and sits. He say's "I just got off shift. Long day. Nolla sure works me!"
Lylia is a responsible rider of nearly eighteen turns. But no one said
riders can't have fun. "Sorry, but I don't think
you want Auri to hate us." She gives a semi-apologetic look, before
the evil gleam returns to her eyes. 'Cause sad Auri
means /tantrum/. Ignoring the scared look, she closes the distance
to be right beside Derwin. Heeheehee...
Eliscar Nods off a into his Hands
Michel closes his notebook and sits back, finally noticing that there are people in the Living Cavern. He smiles and nods a greeting. He stands and moves over to Edaeyn, sitting next to her.
Kerpounce! Flying through the air in a blur of pink, Auri lands on Derwin, swinging her hands around his neck. "Hug, hug, hug Squishy," she sings, then waits for Lylia to do her part, giving her friend encouraging looks.
Derwin oofs as the lacey pink ball lands on him, and rubs his neck gingerly as Auri swings around his neck. "Ow," he says, then gives Lylia pleading looks to stop the torture.
Edaeyn stirs from rapt contemplation of nothing in particular. "Afternoon, love."
Eliscar awakens and sips at his Klah
Michel raises an eyebrow and gives her a kiss on the cheek. "Afternoon to you too, love. Thank you for the wonderful trip yesterday.....I enjoyed meeting your mother...and everyone else." he takes a sip of klah and tucks his notebook under his belt, not wanting to think about it.
"Sorry Derwin... Perhaps there will be a way to dodge it next time."
Lylia shakes her head slightly, grin still twitching
her lips. "It /is/ amusing, though." Well, for /her/. Ducking the flying
pink blur, she pauses for a moment before
leaning over to give Derwin a good lick on the cheek. *LIIIICK*.
Draxa arrives from deeper in the Weyr.
Draxa exchanges the protection of stone for the bowl outside.
Eliscar looks at Michel in surprise, and than laughs. "In the middle of the Living Quarters! Michel, you are a brave boy"
Michel grins at Eliscar and asks, "What? Brave to give a friend
a kiss? Pshaw..." He stands, suddenly hungry....again,
and limps to the hearth for a plate of meat, tubers, greens and candied
fingerroots. He's eating before he even returns
to his chair.
Eliscar says, "Not realy. My mind is addled.""
Eliscar Gets some realy HOT klah and sprinkles himself with it.
Than, gets some meat and cheese, and a cookie, and eats
quickly.
Eliscar Loudly sips at his Klah
Derwin twitches as he is licked and hugged by just sits still with a
queer expression on his face, now silent. No more
swearing for Derwin, just...staring at that wall again...
Eliscar reaches his hand to Derwin and say's "I do not suppose we have
met? I am Eliscar, now a Gaurd. You having
trouble with the girls?"
Auri looks at Eliscar and pouts like a little mother. "Tsktsk, Mister.
You're not supposed to slurp your klah, you have
to drink it quietly. Otherwise, 's not polite. Nope." She beams at
him, making up for her scolding. "I'm Auri, by the
way. Yah-huh. What's your name? Wanna be my friend?"
Michel munches quietly thru the mound of sweet, fingerroots and greens
as he watches Derwin stoicly submitting to Lylia
and Auri. He returns to his plate after a sidewise glance at
Edaeyn.
Oops, Derwin's twitching. Lylia peers nervously at him, one eyerbrow
raised in continued amusement. "You okay? Or do you need another hug?"
Or a lick. The brownrider chuckles slightly. Bad rider, bad, bad rider.
"Oooh, Auri found another
victim?" She murmurs it quietly enough for only Auri and Derwin to
hear. "And I'm /not/ licking this one, Aur." No no no.
Edaeyn cocks her head at Eliscar. "You haven't seen half of what
goes on in here, have you?" The covert grin sneaks out
despite herself. "I'm glad you came ..." she says to Michel,
hesitating after as she lingers on some of what was said.
"And they're warned now. That subject's closed." She shakes
her head at his plate. "Haven't a clue where you're putting
all that."
Michel shrugs and says, "Me neither, but I'm gonna have to get some
new clothes.....look." He stretches out his arm,
showing that there is a couple fingerwidths of wrist showing at the
end of his shirt that wasn't there a couple sevendays
ago. "And I swear my trousers are getting tighter too....."
He sighs softly.
Eliscar says, "I am Eliscar, now of High reaches. Sure, I am everyones friend."
Derwin blinks thick eyelashes and twitches once again: a half-smile
towards Lylia. "Err...no, no thanks," he says quickly
to both Lylia and Eliscar, voice surprisingly fluid and sounding rather...detached,
as if in shock. He seems to have
forgotten the 'brat on his back, as he nods towards Eliscar.
[This is where my log was cut off for about 10 or so lines... Blame the evils of cut-and-pasting java.]
Auri has disconnected.
Auri slips into slumber.
Dustina exchanges the protection of stone for the bowl outside.
Eliscar says, "you eat much, Michel. I will not dissay that!"
Eliscar laughs in a clear laugh
Awww, no more terrorizing for Auri and Lylia today. The young woman
just gives a slight shrug. "'Kay." Scootching away,
she finds a comfortable, nearby spot to lean against the wall, sitting
comfortably on the floor. Best to not scar Derwin
for life just yet. "You're a guard now, Eliscar?" She nods slightly,
impressed. "Great people." Mildly scary ones, but
most 'Reacheans are. The earlier comment from him does earn Derwin
a slight, if belated, smirk.
[The end. :) No promises that there wasn't a line or two left out... As I said, java can be evil.]
