((*cuddlepet* S'okay, I honestly hadn't expected you to post since you weren't feeling well. ;_; I'm sorry!))

For a moment, D'minic considers just dropping the subject. It would be the polite thing to do, especially since D'ctor is a senior bronzerider. But... nope. His irrepressible curiousity - well, D'minic would say he likes to be aware of all the details of a situation, but it's really just curiousity - overrides good manners, and he gives D'ctor a quizzical look. "Reorganizing? During the Hatching Feast? No offense, Wingleader, but it looks like packing to me. You have maps, and extra harness straps, and carry-sacks sitting out right there." He starts to point, but turns the movement into an automatic grab at an outstretched blue wing, and Raz squalls unhappily as his human's quick reflexes keep him pinned to D'minic's shoulder. He wants to investigate those piles! He won't take or break anything and he'll let D'minic see everything interesting he finds, honest! Wouldn't that be fun? /We don't want to annoy him, Raz,/ D'minic says firmly. Or at least, I don't want Raz to annoy him, and I hope I'm not annoying him. At least D'minic can smile and use a polite tone of voice; Raz thinks that blowing raspberries at people is amusing, hence his name. The blue firelizard subsides sulkily, throwing his human a hurt look, but D'minic isn't foolish enough to let go of him just yet. "Where are you going?" There's a touch of hunger in that question. D'minic had travelled extensively before coming to the Weyr, but his travels had been focused more on survival than on fun, and between his own nomadic history and his young dragon's own eager desire for adventure, the pair has always dreamed of taking off on dragonback and going on a journey just for the thrill of it. D'minic's never been good at hiding his feelings, and some of that same hunger shows on his face. The thought of persuading D'ctor, who as an experienced bronzerider is a valuable asset to the Weyr, to stay never even crosses his mind. Right now, his train of thought is closer to, How can I persuade him to take me with him?

Assuming, of course, that D'ctor doesn't try to maintain his ridiculous "reorganzing" excuse. D'minic will never be able to persuade him of anything if D'ctor doesn't admit what he's doing, as the brownrider anxiously realizes. Well, he'll just have to be stubborn, that's all. Very stubborn. Annoyingly stubborn. D'minic spends a lot of time with young Trag; he should be able to come up with some ideas just from that wealth of experience.
