TO Feast!

[Franny]

After the new weyrlings took care of there dragons they would come and feast. They would listen to harpers that had some in on the boat to play music for the after hatching feast. Zaren, who hadn't impressed played a gitar with the other harpers. Kelyna, who had been mystified by the new colors was glad that the hatching was over, and that now the worry over duds was gone. All the eggs had hatched.

Bamre walked into the dining were the feast was with Purth in tow. Iron was sitting on his shoulders and Diamond was in his arms. He looked around at what was going on and smiled knowing that the others were going to have a good time. He personally just wanted to keep to himself and watch. He then went over to one of the walls and sat down up against it. Purth then came over and sat down beside him. He then sat there and began to watch. Purth then said to him Mine why don't you go out there with the others. Bamre replied to Purth Because my friend it is not really me. I just don't like to. Purth then looked up at Bamre and said Alright Mine. I think that you should and it would make you happy, but if it makes you happier sitting here Mine then thats all I want for you is to be happy. Purth then laid his head down in Bamre's lap. Bamre then smiled at Purth and said Thank you for understanding Purth. He then began to pet Purth between his eye ridges and Purth said That feels good Mine. Please keep doing that. Bamre then smiled at Purth and said All right my friend. Purth then began to croon. Barme then sat there smiling petting Purth while watching the party.

C'lyn made his way over towards Kelyna with a plate of food.

Five new colors of dragon. Perhaps the low numbers had caused it, perhaps something else. The huge black, the silver that was bigger than the gold. The female brown and blue...copper and sapphire. And the white, not new, but rare indeed.

And his sister Impressing a dragon that was patched with all five colors on its hide. He stopped on his route to Kelyna, for there Tirlynna was. She had changed into a dress, and wore no knots...of course. The headwoman would have had weyrling knots ready for the normal colors. Not for the strange ones. "How is...Reinth?" he asked her, slightly awkwardly.

"Fast asleep," Tirlynna informed him. "And if you were wondering...she seems to be female."

C'lyn had been, sort of, "Only a little. I...couldn't see you with a male. Does she seem healthy, though?"

Tirlynna nodded. "Small, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with her." Even if she did have six dozen questions that only time could answer. How big would Reinth grow? Would she rise to mate?

For his part, J'tor stood at the entrance, oddly hesitant to appear in public for the first time as a brownrider.

Zenniel was scared. She was scared, but she had a friend. She had Haith. She was complete.

But she was sitll scared. Now come on, Mine. They are waiting for us! I am Gold and you are my rider, we must be there!

Zenniel gulped and absently patted Haith's head. "If you think we must go, we must go. But I will not do anything." Haith just crooned, her small croon lightly touching Zenniel's ears. That is fine, Mine. And Zenniel readied herself for the feast. You won't stay long, I bet. I'm tired and you need me.

Zenniel reached the premesis of the Feast and Zenniel stopped. "I --I wo-n't go farther." Zenniel whispered to Haith, her fear coming back in droves. Haith, who was safely nustled in the Weyrling baracks, touched Zenniel's mind, Just a little farther, Mine? you can't even be seen yet! Zenniel sighed, and inched farther into the feast's premises. Good. Now be calm, there's nothing to worry about! I will be here!

Zenniel sighed, until you go to sleep.

M'lir was glowing with happiness from his Impression. He and Holath were completely different, he could tell that already, but they were still perfect for each other in some strange way. He had changed into his nicest Gather clothing and then slipped his brand new Bronze weyrling knot over his shoulder before heading to the Feast. Holath nudged him out the door. You must not be late![/color]

I know, Holath... He smiled and scratched the bronze's eye ridges softly. Holath snorted, going to take a nap on his couch, and M'lir hurried to the Feast. He was actually starving, and looking forward to having something to eat.

He found Zenniel lingering at the entrance and grinned at her. "Hey, congratulations on Impressing!" He guessed that she was nervous about the crowd, just as he was, although he wasn't as scared as usual with Holath's presence in his mind. "Want to go in together?" he offered.

[Yamamoto]

Bamre sat there when he saw M'lir and Zenniel standing at the entrance he wanted to go talk to them yet he wanted to continue sitting here with Purth. Purth then looked up at him and said Mine why don't you go. You are silly to think I would not go with you. Bamre continued to pet Purths head as he said No Purth I am fine here it is more peaceful. Purth then pulled his head out Bamre's lap and began to walk in the direction of the others. He then said to Bamre in a mischievous voice Ok Mine if you wont go then I guess you will be left here alone. Then as if right on cue Iron took off form Bamre's shoulders and began to follow Purth. The only reason Diamond was not doing the same was because she could hardly fly so she just sat in Bamre's arms. Bamre just sat there and smiled at the white dragon saying as he stood up You sure know how to get me to do what you want don't you my friend. Purth then replied Of course Mine. I know you so therefore it is quite easy. Bamre then followed after Purth and they went over to where Zenniel and M'lir were. When he got there Iron landed on his shoulders again satisfied he had helped Purth in his mission. Bamre looked at Zenniel and M'lir and said " Hey guys congratulations on Impressing. My little white friend here is named Purth. " Purth looked up at the two and said to them Hello Zenniel. Hello M'lir. Pleased to meet you both. Bamre looked and saw that Zenniel looked nervous like she usually did so he smiled at her and said " You want me and Purth to walk in with you too?"

With Halsningath comfortable and fed, A'cher speedily shed his robes, no longer pristine and white, but slightly sandy, and dressed. He wasn't in quite his best, but His thought he was presentable enough. Mine, why worry? Your Halsningath never doubts, and still you worry! Trust your Halsningath! Nothing will be wrong. Now, go and be well.

The new weyrling sighed, and stepped from the barracks into the corridor. I'm sure everything will be fine! He argued, adding aloud but under his breath, "Except me." A'cher-mine, I heard you. Yours has good ears! The brown shooed His further out, and A'cher obliged his dragon, pacing away to the Dining Hall. Not just good ears, the best!

The young man made good time, loping with precious little grace and much more haste. As he grew steadily closer to the hall, he grew nervous again. He'd do something wrong without meaning to, he was sure. A'cher slowed down, delaying his arrival, but saw Zenniel and M'lir waiting together. He was glad that there were others hesitant about joining the crowd in celebrating.

As he stepped toward the pair, A'che found Bamre and his white approaching them. He was still stunned by the rare color, as well as the new colors that had made their appearances during the hatching. "Hello, Zenniel, M'lir, Bamre. And, I'm sorry, I don't know your name," the last comment directed at the white. To the humans again, particularly Zenniel, he asked, "You nervous, too?" He began to shift his weight from foot to foot, anxiously waiting for acceptance, or perhaps disapproval. Shortly after he spoke, Bind chirped fiercely at the three, strangers to her, from A'cher's left arm which was cradled across his abdomen, where the little flit was sprawled.

[Yamamoto]

Bamre looked and saw A'cher coming up the hall toward them he waited till he got to where they were and was just about to say hey when Purth looked up at A'cher and said to him My name is Purth. Hello A'cher. Bamre then also greeted the boy saying " Hi A'cher don't worry there is no reason to be nervous." Then Purth said to Bamre If there is no reason to be nervous then why were you sitting in the corner Mine? Bamre really had no reply to Purths comment he knew his little friend was right. Then Iron flew off of Bamre's shoulders and over to greet A'cher. He then landed on the boy's shoulders chriped a greeting to Bind and then rubbed his head against A'cher's cheek. Bamre smiled at this and commented " He has really become a more social creature since me and him got here. He would have never done that before."

[Franny]

Getrara quickly changed out of her candidate garments and into a stunning blue dress that brought out her eyes for the feast. Getrara quietly said goodnight to Puroth as she went toward the feast and celebration. Puroth was already asleep as she had exhausted herself with the hatching. Getrara had mixed feelings about impressing a dragon that didn't seem to want her to heal others. She loved the dragon, but she would have to come to terms with the fact that she wouldn't be able to heal others anymore except when Puroth was asleep. Seeing Jator, no, J'tor she mentally corrected herself, she went over to say hi. He didn't seem to be getting much company and she felt like congratulating him on his impression, after all he had impressed to brown. Smiling she came up to him and said, "How does it feel being a brown rider now?"

[Franny]

Levra changed into a simple light violet colored dress that seemed to float around her. She curled her hair and piled it up on top of her head, allowing the red curls to cascade gently down off her head. She said goodnight to the tired Zoeth and left for the feast. She wasn't totally comfortable, as she might get comments, but that didn't matter, she was supposed to go and she should go to congratulate Darket, no, he was D'ket now. She had to get used to her brother's name having changed. He had impressed so young and to a brown at that! Levra quietly got some food and sat down to eat, now that she was starving after taking care of her dragon.

[Franny]

D'ket changed into a fairly nice suit after having allowed Oith to go to sleep on his couch. He walked down to the dining hall with a big smile, he was a dragon rider! He was searching out Bamre so as to congratulate him on his impression to a white dragon. D'ket knew that he had been right all along, that Bamre was going to impress to white. Seeing his friend standing around with some others, D'ket went over and said, "hi!"

(OOC: I broke them down so as to let you know who is where...)

[Yamamoto]

Bamre turned to D'ket when he saw him coming over he said to him " Hello my friend. I would have to say that you were the one who was right all along weren't you." Purth then asked Bamre What was he right about Mine? Bamre replied with one word knowing Purth could figure it out You. Bamre then turned back to D'ket and said " Good job on impressing." At that moment Iron recognizing D'ket from before immediately flew to D'ket shoulders landed there then he began to rub his head against the boys cheek showing his affection. Bamre smiled at this and said " Like I told you before D'ket I think he really likes you." Then Purth turned to D'ket and said curiously Hello D'ket my name is Purth and Mine says you predicted me. How is it you did this?

[Minnow]

With a hint of humor, A'cher gave the white dragon a bow and said, "Hello to you, then, Purth." He was still bemused by the little creature, but less so every minute. After all, a dragon was a dragon, regardless of color. Should even a purple or pink dragonet hatch, he didn't suppose he'd mind. He responded to Bamre's assurances with a lop-sided smile, which broadened as Iron alighted on his shoulder, despite the territorial hiss Bind directed at the flit. The young man stroked gently along the brown's spine, left fingers doing the same for his own pet's neck, the only part of her he could reach while holding her. As D'ket approached, A'cher welcomed him over with Bamre said his congratulations to the boy.

[Zen]

Zenniel shivered when M'lir arrived, and was even more worried when Bamre arrived with his little dragonet. Her knees were again shaking, and she almost yelped when Purth entered her mind. But Haith's reassurance made her strong. Say hello to them. They are happy that you Impressed just as you are happy they Impressed. Haith was reassuring, and Zenniel didn't know what she'd do without her little Gold.

"H-h-hullo, everyone. Hello --Purth." Zenniel stammered, and Haith's reassurance barried stayed strong. Hello Purth. My name is Haith. Haith said, though she was not with the party. It would seem better to introduce herself to a dragon, so the dragon would tell His. Zenniel didn't seem to want to talk anymore. Instead, she just stood there. It seemed that with Impressing a Gold she became part of the center of attention. Just her luck.

[Yamamoto]

Purth looked up at Zenniel when he heard her yelp he figured he had scared her so he said to her this time in a reasureing voice I am sorry I scared you Zenniel, but there is no reason to be afraid of me. Purth then heard the gold speaking to him an he said to her Hello Haith. I is nice to meet you. Purth then turned and looked up at Bamre and said The golds name is Haith Mine. Bamre smiled down at his little friend and said to him So her name is Haith. Thats a pretty name. Tell her for me that I thought she looked quite stunning today. Purth then said I agree Mine. I will tell her. Purth then said to Haith Me and Mine thought you looked stunning today Haith.
