Welcome to Gaia! ::

A'ra and Xanth finally made it to the barracks, the little green complaining all the way on how far it was.

And it's going to be even farther she told Xanth as she pointed to the bunk furthest from the door. Thatone's ours.

Areyou sure? Xanth seemed doubtful, but started towards the stone couch beside the said bed anyways.

"Of course I am, silly. You don't want to be distirbed, do you?" A'ra replid cheerfully, being careful not to just "send" it by thought. No need to let Xanth know that she was also choosing that one so that others can have the ones closer to the door, like the girl who was carrying her blue in!!

L'real managed to make it to the new barracks around the same time the other weyrlings did, and almost entirely on her own, too. Of course Noth had helped, despite being near to collapse. And maybe she had had to lean on N'rin once or twice. Or alot. ANyway, the point was, she'd kept up, which was encouraging. Mine? Where are we going? L'real snapped out of her daze in time to see the males head off to one side, the females to another, one girl even carrying her newly hatched dragon. That was determination! Still, the weyrling's heart lightened as she saw Alira and a green headed for one of the farthest beds.

"Down there, my heart. Can you make it?" The little green snorted at her again. I can if you can, mine. L'real laughed under her breath, acknowledging the hit. The pair made it down to the end of the row before securing a cot close to Alira's. If she was still Alira.

Noth barely made it to the stone ledge before collapsing. L'real scratched her bondmate for a moment until she was sure she was asleep before hobbling over to her friend's cot. "Congratulations, greenrider! Might I know the name of the beautiful creature sleeping over yonder?" She spoke and motioned grandly towards her friend's hatchling.

N'lin settled his brown into an empty bed and, with a sigh, sat on the cot beside it for a moment. He glanced around, yes, their bags had been brought in. Grinning, the boy grabbed his own bag and pulled out some better clothing to attend the Feast in. Like the others, once Tolo had fallen asleep, he felt much better and was ready to go to the Feast.

Akai really hated to admit it, but her adorable and sweet and funny blue was just a bit heavy She sighed soflty, her arms ached a bit but it was actually not to bad. If they had had to go much further she wouln't have made it. But as it was she'd make it. And just be a little sore for a half an hour or so.

She shifted Tollyth a little bit as she walked into the wyerling room and blinked faintly suprised to see everyone and stone couches besides the beds.. She wondered what they were for untill she saw one of the dragons curled up in one sound asleep.

She hesatated when she entered not quite sure if they had assigned beds or if it was like the drudges and you grabbed the best spot you could. Adfter a momnets of watching she figured out it was first come first serve. She would have gone to the very back but somone alredy had those beds.

She licked her lips and started down the beds heading for the next to last, there was no way she was going to be in the front of the room. The thought made her shiver slightly. Tollyth gave a sleepy rumble and she nuzzled him lightly

"Shh almost to your bed Tollyth " she murmmus soflty. She got a sleep filled mumble and tollyth setteled onece more.

When Akai reached as close to the last bed as she could get, she gently knelt beside the stone couch and started to settle her lovely blue into it She nudeged him a bit as she sat him on the floor

"Tollyth.. come on.. into the bed.." she said carefuly guiding his clumsy sleepy self into the couch. He flopped down and promptly was out cold again. Akai smiled fondly at him. as she rubbed his eye ridge for a moment. THen got up and turned to find the girl she'd followed in.

((sorry brain dead on her name.. gomen nassi)) WHen akai found her she smiled gratefully to her.

"Thank you for carrying Kopi for me. I hope it wasn't to much of a bother.." she said soflty taking her flit back. Gently she held Kopi in her arms. He warbled at her and she smield kissing the top of his head

"I have to change.. you're going to come with me.. but you need to rest on the cot for now." she murmmued soflty to him. he warbled again then gave a cheep and nuzzled into her arms again. Akia returned her attention to the girl.

"Thank you again. If you think of a way for me to repay you.. please just let me know" she said with a smal bow.. then headed back to her own bed. She'd seen her small bag at the front of the room.It was much shabbier than most everyones so she'd been able to spot it easily. She layed kopi on the pillow who trilled soflty that he Liked this soft spot.

Akai giggled and walked to the front retreiveing her bag. None of her clothing was anywhere near as good as everyone elses, but then again she haden't expected it to. She was a drudge afterall, she pulled out the least ragged skirt and top she had. it was still quite patched up and frayed, but it was clean, though stained in several places from things he just haden't been able to wash out no matter how much she tried.

she hesatated then keeping her head down she gently pulled the white robe off wondering if they were to keep them or give them back. then she pulled off the outfit she'd been in.. andp ulled on the other outfit.

Not a huge difference, but oh well. She gently folded her clothing and tufked it away then plooked at kopi. He was sound asleep she rubbed his body lightly avoiding the wounds

"I'll be back Kopi after everyone else comes back" she says soflty. Kopi trilled soflty and snuggled into the pillow more. Akai giggled soflty getting the feeling she wasn't going to be getting that pillow back anytime soon.

She ran her fingers though her hair attempting to de-tangel it some, her comb was gone from her bag, it must have fallen out at some poit when whoever packed her bag for her had moved it. Oh well.. she'd have to buy one later.. for now her fingers would have to do.

Akai looked around tenativly. She was a dragonrider now... she hoped sincerly that she could do everything right.. she din't want to risk loosing this, not for anything.

Mine.. you think to loudly came a sleep filled whine in her head. She just giggled

I'm sorry my darling TOllyth i'll think quietly Tollyth snorted and rolled over so his back was to the room his face nicely shadowed. He fell back asleep. Akai sighed and then played with the edge of her shirt not sure if she shoudl go to the feast thing now.. or wait for others to leave.

"Lireal!! You made it!!" A'ra said kind of sheepish like, she should have helped her here. "Isn't it great, we're all greenriders!! This is Xanth."

Turning she motioned to her green, already snoring softly next to her.

Noticing thier things piled to one side of the room, she started for them. "Let's get dressed and go to the Feast. For some reason, I'm starving!!!" She giggled at that, and almost danced to her things, she was so very happy! She smiled happily at the other girls in the barracks, looking forward to becoming better friends with all of them.

Ryneth yawned mightily as L'rin guided him through the door into the weyrling barracks. He would have gone for the first bunk empty if L'rin hadn't gently guided him to a far corner. Why so far? the little blue whined. I am sleepy. I wish to rest.

L'rin chuckled as the blue finally reached and clambered up into the bunk he'd chosen for them. "This way we are not bothered as much," he explained. "We can watch and listen, and learn." Noticing soft snoring coming from the bunk already, he chuckled quietly and changed into a clean tunic. With a light pat on the soft blue head, he wandered over to the others.

Sitting on the side of his bed, H'nar watched the gentle rise and fall of Cerinth's ribs as the dragon slept. Thankfully, he hadn't needed to be carried like some of his siblings, but had instead managed to stumble his way to the barracks and collapse on the nearest unoccupied dragonet couch.

Suddenly, H'nar's stomach rumbled, and realizing that he was still wearing the white Candidate robe, Hal rummaged through the trunk at the foot of the bed for a minute, finally locating something more suited for the occasion. Changing quickly, he thought ahead to the feast that was starting in the Lower Caverns. He's missed a couple meals at the Harper Hall, and the thought of the excellent food that the Weyr was likely to be serving today set his mouth to watering. After making sure his boots were tied and his hair neatly combed, he checked on the blue once more to see that he was still soundly sleeping, then headed off toward the lower caverns.
