Author: Emma~Augusath & Zerach
Subject: A candidate!

((He can totally have a green. In fact, he NEEDS one. :D))


Zerach felt the hot parching of the sands almost immediately. He couldn't believe he was here, clutching for dear life to Emma's waist as she dictated Augusath's landing. His fingers tighten as he feels the powerful dragon land. Soon he'd have his own dragon to ride. ....Maybe.

"A green DID clutch." Emma murmured. "I thought they were joshin' me when you heard the summons, Auggie. But I'm glad I could getcha out here, Zerach. Something might come of it." She gives the boy a hearty pat that nearly sends him reeling off the dragon. He clutches at the harness and manages to stay astride. Augusath eloquently extends a foreleg for him, and he gives her a grateful pat of thanks as he departs.

His wide terrified eyes plead with Emma not to leave him there alone, by himself. But she's seen this sort of behavior before, and she knows just how to handle it. "And our time with you ends, here, love. I have some plants to gather. But we'll be back to see ya."

And with that he's on his own, at the crossroads of his life. He takes in the sight with another gulp, he can't seem to wet his throat. Willing his feet to move him forward, he gives a stiff inclining bow to the green, worried that words might offend her. It would be just his luck. Maybe he'd find a friend here. Maybe he'd find...he blushes at the thought. No one in their right minds...it wasn't done, wasn't...

Pushing those thoughts aside, Zerach finds a comfortable spot and waits, wondering what on Pern all the fuss was about. In all his fourteen turns he'd never learned the dragon 'heirarchy', it was almost thought of as a secret to him. Not even Emma, his mentor of sorts, was willing to disclose it to him. The most he'd get would be a sly wink, an elbow, and a 'You'll find out one day'. Well, it appeared that day was coming soon. More specifically, it was so close its breath billowed on his neck. Or maybe that was the hot sandy air.
