Subject: >~<

By the time the Hatching is over, Akema is thankfully much cheerier, thanks to a large late-morning breakfast and several cups of klah. It probably doesn't hurt that Laffranth has eaten, been bathed and oiled, and is now a happy pine-green lump on top of the heights, occasionally rousing enough to send waves of love and affection at her rider. It had been a very thorough bathing, though Akema suspects taht the green is also feeding off her own emotional state. From the vicious misery of a few hours ago, she's somehow slipped into a hazy euphoria, and the mood swings aren't as annoying when it's an upswing. Still, said euphoria is starting to wear off as she enters the Lower Caverns, and while she's pleased about the Hatching, seeing several of the men potentially responsible for her state doesn't do much to improve the greenrider's mood. It is only by an effort of sheer willpower that Akema manages to walk by S'peer without threatening him in the same fashion she'd accosted S'kar earlier. Instead of going straight to the buffet-style food, she finds a somewhat secluded table and waits impatiently for the Weyrleaders to arrive, tapping a foot against the floor. On her shoulder, brown Dustin sits up and squawks loudly in complaint. "Shhh, they're coming," Akema sighs. "Give them time. The Weyrwoman was helping with that accident on the Sands, remember?" It's herself she's addressing, not the 'lizard, who is really only voicing her own thoughts, but nobody else really needs to know that. Near the food, green Wista and blue Orsten circle above the buffet with wary eyes fixed on the Headwoman, vying to send Akema clearer images of the food on display. Their human is upset, and in their little firelizard ways, they're trying to make her happier. She's laughing a little at them, at least, and amusement is good, right? Akema's just in a temper tonight, that's all, and her firelizards know that it will cool soon enough, even if she has been acting oddly the past month or so.
