- Return... -- Sh'muel * Lirth :|: Chavala * Sinouth, 18:35:37 03/17/02 Sun
The pair of dragons appeared out of between, entire bodies sagging with the exhaustion from having flown Thread for four hours. Sinouth and Lirth made a hasty landing in the Weyr Bowl, and their riders were just as eager to dismount and head for rest. Before they headed to their separate weyrs, however, the pair turned to each other.
'Chava?' Sh'muel said uncertainly. 'Two Southern riders... gone... How many more will die before the Pass is over?'
Chava, her expression solemn, wrapped her brother in a comforting embrace. But they both needed comforting, and got it from each other. 'I don't know... but we've got to keep on, you know. They didn't die so we would quit living.'
A small sniffle was heard, then Sh'muel pulled back with a nod. 'You're right. As always.' He reached over and ruffled his sister's hair. She rolled her eyes good-naturedly and punched him in retaliation. Then they hugged each other once more before they stumbled into their weyrs to get well-earned rest.

Mave nods in response to Chava's question. "Yes. And I believe that actually, greens from all Weyrs may be combining to form one wing. Bronzes, browns the same..." She smiles a little ruefully. "Alright, let's go.." Mave mounts Seereth, T'run climbs aboard Adath, and they wait for the rest of the Weyr."

Chava nodded slowly, then called to the three greenriders who had shown up, 'All right, green wing! We're combining with the blue wing since there are so few of us! We're going on the fringes and in the lower half of the formation, to catch Thread the other wings have missed. We may be joined by Fort riders. Got all that?' She turned to Mave and T'run. 'Are we ready to leave?'
Sh'muel glanced about, and saw only one other rider, K'skin. 'Hoi, K'skin! Looks like it's just us two in the Southern brown and bronze wing... pitiful, but oh well. We'll be on the right side, just above the green and blue wings.' [[right?]] The bronzerider, too, glanced to the Weyrleaders, waiting for them to answer his sister's question.

Noel sighed, stretching and discarding her boots as she leaned into her bed's warm embrace.
I should have returned to the comfortable Weyrlife ages ago, eh Karrie? she asked with a mental grin.
I told you that you'd miss it! Karath crowed, and Noel could feel her dragon's warm, deep, rumbling laughter.
All very well for you, Karrie, since dragons can be comfortable anywhere-
Cannot.
Can too.
Cannot.
Can too.
They can't be comfortable out in Threadfall.
Ahh...I'm too tired to argue with a big green lump who doesn't know when to quit. G'night Karath.
Karath sighed contentedly from her ledge. She had won the arguement, after all.

- Both pairs race in... -- K'skin - Deneth ... G'rien - Grenith, 10:41:52 02/17/02 Sun
The brownrider rubbed his arm and gave a resentful look to G'rien. Since the greenrider didn't seem to notice, he huffed and walked to Mave, half-cradling his arm.
"I'm here and I certainly hope I'm not the only brownrider here, too. That might be bad for the wing."
'If only K'ndelek would've stayed. He would make a great Wingleader.'
~You can't keep him from his love, K'skin, and you know it. Once you fall for someone...poof! that's it.~
'You make it sound like a bad experience.'
~I wouldn't know. Never felt it before.~
K'skin shook his head and grinned, looking around for other brownriders.
--
G'rien walked in, making sure to keep his eyes glued to the floor, not wanting others to see his face burning. Grenith sighed and followed her rider, nudging him gently with her snout.
~It's not your fault!~
'Then whose was it? It certainly wasn't the brownrider's fault, was it?'
~...~
'Ah-hah! Caught you there.'
~So it's your fault, doesn't mean you have to simmer in embarrassment, does it?~
'Well, I guess it could be both our faults. I mean, niether of us were looking when we ran into each other.'
~That's the spirit! Now get in your Wing.~
The greenrider smiled and shrugged it off. Grenith was right. Shards, she was always right. He easily picked out the Green Wing Leader, it wasn't that hard. Just find the one rallying all the other greenriders. He jogged over to Chavala. He bowed slightly.
"G'rien, rider of green Grenith, at your service. Herer to check in for Threadfall, I believe."

(Tampath, do me a favour and calm them down PLEASE?) D'aven grumbles raising his arm to protect his face from the three. Sending pictures of calm to the three...

Danth appears from between, his pwerful pinions thrusting back to land on the cliff edge, Lyra watching Thread with hard optics, "By the First Egg, Thread is going to burn!"
Danth bugles in response a loud earsplitting noise coming from deep within his throat. Lyra gives Mave a wave of one hand, and Danth relays a message to Seereth Seereth, have you any idea where the rest of the Blue wing is?
Lyra's hand tightened on the rsing straps, at the same tim feeling it between her fingers, finiding no beakage, having failed to do so with the rush here.

Mave walks in, her expression obviously irritated, how could the Charts have been wrong? A sound remarkably like a growl rises from her throat at the unpredictability of the menace. T'run notes her arrival, as well as her expression, and turns regretfully to the woman he was talking to. "I'm sorry, something appears to be bothering Mave...It also seems rather serious, I'm not sure what it is. You'll have to wait." He walks towards the Weyrwoman, wincing as Seereth bugles angrily, a call for all Southern dragonriders to come to the Main Weyr. Mave looks somewhat happier as she sees that Chava and Sh'muel have started rallying the group.
Didn't...?
~They were apparently mis-informed.~
Good. I'd hate for a rider as good as Chavala to leave, and not ask my permission.
~I'd noticed.~
"Alright! Any Southern rider worth the name should get here, or you'll have Seereth to deal with!" T'run looks a bit confused, and Mave mouths one word to him. Thread. His eyes widen, wasn't this supposed to happen later on? It was early...
~Seereth informs me that Mave is agitated.~
Thanks, I'd guessed.
~Just wanted to keep you up to date.~
"How many Weyrs are understrength?" Mave twist her mouth into a grimace. "All of them. Igen has the most riders. High Reaches and Ista the least." He nodded, a melancholy expression on his face. "I'd heard." She nods, and they wait for the rest of the riders to get there.

Chava nodded slowly, then asked Sinouth, ~~Shall we?~~ {{Why not?}} The green's mindvoice sounded nonchalant, but Chava could detect a primeval eagerness in it as well, one that she too felt. Chava spoke quickly to Arienne, 'You're right... I'm going to stop having to wait for Weyrleaders tell me what to do.' The greenrider ran out to the Bowl to meet her dragon, who waited none too patiently. Chava sprang to Sinouth's neck, and even before she was seated properly the green was aloft, crying to all the Southern greens, [[THREADFALL IS HERE! GREEN WING TO ME!]]
Sh'muel was awoken by his bronze's harsh bugle and a hoarse whisper: {{Thread. Sh'muel, it's here.}} The bronzerider vaulted from his bed and rushed outside to where Lirth crouched, tensed and ready to fight. ~~Come, Lirth, let us gather the bronzes. T'run would not mind, for he is at the Meeting Cliffs and cannot do it himself.~~ {{Enough prattling! To my neck!}} Sh'muel obeyed, and Lirth glided swiftly from the ledge, calling to all Southern bronzes, [[Threadfall is come! Gather, bronzes! To me!]]

Shofranka, the head merchant, led the procession into the Weyr. As they traveled into the Weyr, she became aware of many multifaceted eyes keeping a close watch on them. Though usually unafraid, dragons always startled her enough to be cautious. A green snaked her head out and looked the merchant in the eye, but she seemed to have passed the test, for the dragon pulled her head back into the shadows. Shofranka let out a breath she had been unconsciously been holding as the train reached the Bowl. She dismounted from her runnerbeast, Balual, and went in search of Mave. Upon locating the Weyrwoman. Shofranka bowed in respect, then extended her hand in greeting. 'I am the merchant Shofranka, my train and I would like to set up shop for a time here at your Weyr, with your permission, Weyrlady.'

- Chava and Sinouth returned... -- Chava § Sinouth, 16:08:37 01/28/02 Mon
The pair returned from their unsuccessful search for Ritaki, rather disconsolate at this failure. But Sinouth, ever cheerful, reminded her rider, {{We can look for her again tomorrow, you know.}} ~~True... But I wanted to talk to her about... things.~~ {{Talk to Mave, then.}} ~~Mave? She's the Weyrwoman, Sinouth...~~ {{Note the 'woman' bit of it. Ranks are nothing when it comes to human relations.}}
Chava blushed as she realized the truth in her green's statement. Regaining control over herself, she decided to search out Mave. She roamed the Weyr and finally located the queenrider in her quarters. Chava rapped lightly on the door, calling, 'Mave? Are you busy?'

They won't, her green said stoutly as she unfolded her wings. Ritaki is your friend. They cannot begrudge your visiting her. With that, Sinouth swept her wings downward. The pair rose just above the rim of the Weyr Bowl before they disappeared between.

- ~ ...return... ~ -- Chava § Sinouth :: Sh'muel € Lirth, 22:53:39 12/14/01 Fri
As the insignificant form of her green migrated out of between, Chava marveled that there seemed to be no change in temperature. It's only your heart... the sun shines today... Sinouth's weary mindvoice cut through the greenrider's thought. Chava sighed as the green swept in to land, stirring up a mild-mannered dust cloud. ~I know.~ The greenrider forced herself into temporary action, going through the routine of removing the harness by rote.
Finally, when she and her green were settled in to the weyr, then they let the mire of odious despair settle over them. For several minutes they observed a self imposed silence. Sinouth was the one who finally broke the quiet. At least we will not see them often. Greenriders do not need to have contact with Weyrleaders from other Weyrs. Chava was so steeped in her own depression that she didn't think to correct the green's insinuation.
~Yes. . . Let's just forget them.~ Tacit agreement came from Sinouth. Soon enough, though, forbidden thoughts began creeping back, cautious but insistent. At last Chava stood abruptly. ~I'm going to go see Sh'mueli.~ He and Lirth are as bad as us. ~Thanks for the warning.~ No problem. Now go. You humans need each other.
As soon as she reached her brother's weyr, she understood what Sinouth had meant. Sh'muel was slumped, abject, against the eternally stolid form of his bronze, who in fact looked just as despairing as his rider.
It was he who spoke first. His voice was harsh with mocking self deprecation. "Look at us. You, me, Daven. All broken and tossed aside by life. We're the untouchables, no one wants to even think of us—"
"Sh'muel." Chava's soft voice cut through the tirade, unyielding as steel. "Stop berating yourself. For Lirth's sake if for no one else's. Look at him!" And she pointed, ever the demanding, matronly figure, at the bronze bulk behind him.
Reluctantly he turned to face his bronze. ~Lirth?~ he inquired tentatively. The drake's reply was permeated with vitriol and sulky to boot. I know. Neither of you would be so unhappy if I weren't such a weakling. Sh'muel frowned mightily at him. ~Don't be ridiculous.~ Don't you, came the retort. Had I caught Kylith, Jeneth would be free to catch Sinouth, and all would be well. ~Lirth... Look, maybe you didn't catch her, but you're not a weakling.~ What am I then? I am not younger or less experienced. Therefore am I inferior.
Sh'muel could find no truthful answer to this yet, and so could do nothing but hope that Lirth would overcome this melancholy soon. Somehow, trying to reassure his bronze had lifted the clouds of his own depression.
He strode to the opening of the cave, where Chava was standing. "You're right," he said at last. "What happened, happened. There's no use skulking in the past." Chava stared out across the Weyr Bowl at the sun, which was slowly sinking into the horizon in a burst of almost outrageous hues. She said nothing, but even so, Sh'muel could sense her tacit agreement.
They stood there until the last pinpricks of light had pierced the midnight blue blanket of sky. At last, Chava slipped her arms about her brother in an embrace before she began the long trek back to her weyr. She left behind a saddened yet now comforted pair, and she and her lifemate were in much the same condition. By the time they were settled into bed, peaceful night reigned over all, and all was well once more.
