Subject: [S'peer]

Somehow, they'd made it inside and to a bed before embarrassing themselves in front of the whole Weyr (not that R'ven's perch hadn't been a bit secluded, but it's the principle of the thing. Besides, beds are softer than boulders). Now, a few hours later, R'ven rouses from the light drowse he'd fallen into, wrapped around S'peer on a cot that is most certainly not his own. Neither is the weyr, it being on the ground level, but fortunately it's devoid of any signs of occupation, so it seems they haven't accidentally borrowed someone else's home. Sitting up, R'ven takes a moment for self-assessment. His hair has stayed braided this time, thankfully - sleeping with loose hair, especially with company, can turn into an excrutiatingly painful experience without warning - but the bandage M'telle had wrapped around his shoulder earlier is beyond repair. Not that it's a big problem, since the tiny claw-marks hadn't really required bandaging in the first place, so the greenrider goes ahead and strips it off, discarding it on the floor for now. Glancing through the doorway to the outer room, he can see Massath in there, her tail twined with a blue one but her body and the the wall cooperating to obscure the rest of Scarth's bulk from him. His green, at least, is asleep. Assured of his dragon's contentment, the quiet hum of satiation running between them even when she's sunk in slumber, he smiles fondly.

Something chirps at him, and he looks up. Clinging to the craggy wall above the door, three firelizards dangle in a row from precarious claw-holds, blinking at him and cheeping in greeting before turning their eyes on S'peer. /Don't you dare move,/ he orders, seeing gold Athena spread her wings and bunch her muscles in anticipation of pushing off. /Leave him alone. Why do you always harass them?/ Three protestations of innocent curiousity ring in his mind, and he shakes his head in exasperation. /It's rude. Go away, and don't come back until I tell you to, understand?/ Bronze Vey squawks a complaint, and little green Kree echoes it, but R'ven is in luck; Athena might have pushed the issue otherwise, but she enjoys bossing them around too much to encourage disobedience now. Chittering angrily, she watches them both go between before giving R'ven a final smug chirp and vanishing herself.

Sighing silently, R'ven turns back to S'peer with an apologetic expression on his face, ready to indicate his apologies if his pets have disturbed the bluerider. He's not sure whether the man was awake or asleep, or whether they might have woken him if it was the latter.

((Trying not to actually powerplay, but I hope you don't mind that I "placed" S'peer and Scarth. I just figured they'd all four be a bit tired after the flight.))
