Recent Going Ons of Obsidian Weyr

[Oodles]

((I know it was delayed for a long while, but here it is every one!))

“How long has it been since we set out this early in the morning and saw the sun rise above the Weyr?” Lylian asked her awesome dragoness as she balanced on a large stone on the shore of the lake; its waters were dim with the so far lightless morning. The Weyrwomans’ hair was brought back out of her face with a simple leather strap, and her clothes were easy leather breeches and a semi-loose fitting cotton shirt. One of her thick boots slipped as she began to turn on the rock and she fell into the sand below her; laughing of all things.

I do believe we haven’t been relaxed and watched the rising of Rukbat; we’ve both been very busy and haven’t taken the time. Aeselyth said to her rider as she watched the woman laugh with her own amusement. She was resting in the grass of the immediate shore line with her wings tucked tightly to her back; her eyes were shining bright in the dim morning as their blue hues shamed the sky.

Lylian was breathing hard as she got up and dusted herself off, hoping that she had gotten all of the sand from her back. She untied her hair and shook it roughly to get some more sand out and then put it back up. “Well, I guess we’re both as ready as we will be.” She said as her golden eyes scanned the area; there were nine bowls, each wide enough in diameter to allow herself to sit inside, and each held a ripe young herdbeast beside it. There were also small flasks of oil inside the bowls and knives as well.

Weyrlings! Aeselyth sent out as soon as her rider gave her the okay; her rich voice boomed inside the heads of the nine pairs that would soon be coming for their first lesson. This is the morning of your first lesson, come to us. She didn’t mention at all where the lessons were to be held, neither of the leaders had mentioned it to the Weyrlings; considering it would be their first test. Aeselyth sent a picture of the Weyr’s peak as it looked at the moment; a dark silhouette against the lightening sky. The dragonets should get the image and then give it to their riders, and then they would all hopefully come down before the meat began to spoil. She really did despise good meat going to waste.

Rihanna was apprehensive about lessons. Very apprehensive. She was going to have to be around people she had never met before, didn't know them, nor did she know their tendancies and personalities. And Ri had a hard time meeting new people, to be perfectly honest. The long years of pain had taken that toll on her social life. She could not possibly have a very large or good one at the moment, as she hardly ever seemed all that willing to make friends with people.

But Vhenoth was there for her. He had been since he'd hatched, and Rihanna was greatful for the brown's presence. He was a great, comforting and protective presence in the back of her mind... Well, consuming her mind and his connected to hers. She had a great friend in him, definitely.

Ri'nnamine. We have been called by the golden Aeselyth to go to lessons. We should go soon, the brown advised her.
Of course Rihanna heard him. She didn't really want to go right away.
If you do not want to go, then you do not have to go...
"Yes, I do Vhenoth, no matter how much I don't want to. To be a dragonrider I must be trained, and that's what these lessons are for," she said quietly, with a sigh.
Than we shall go now, dearmine,

Rihanna was happy to be out in the early morning air even though it meant going to a social situation. She wore an older set of clothing, unsure of what they would be doing once they arrived and began to be trained.
Vhenoth walked alongside her, unsure of how to handle this situation really. His rider had uneasiness about going. Yet she said she had to go. He just as soon would have allowed her to stay back in the Weyrlings' barracks where she was happy.

They arrived at the Training area, the first couple there so far. Rihanna gave a respectful bow to both Queen and rider. And they took their place, waiting for others to come and lessons to begin. The only person Rihanna was really happy to be seeing would be N'eal, who she counted as her only friend. Ironic, since the last person she had wanted to become friends with was a male.
Funny how that worked out.
