Characters: N'klar, J'klin
Description: N'klar and J'klin decide to entertain themselves, with the help of
nosy dragons. N'klar drinking? Who would have thought?
Location: Dragonsfall Weyr
Date: month 10, day 3 of Turn 3
N'klar stood on his ledge, watching the evening sun set over Dragonsfall. The mood in the Weyr was so somber that he wanted to be drunk, sleeping, or happily entertaining a woman or a man, or many of either, in his bed. Drinking was the only option open to him since Sarian and he had not spoken in sevendays. Ignoring the pain that realization brought him, and who had caught her green on her last Flight, the bluerider went looking for some company in the Dining Caverns, carrying two skins of wine. Julerith remained on his ledge, looking after his rider with his whirling softly with sadness. }:Nimyth's rider is looking for company.:{ Julerith sent a few moments later, just before N'klar stepped into the dining caverns. Not asking what his nosy blue had been doing - probably asking every dragon if anyone wanted to get drunk - he simply took a change of course, and called Julerith down. ***Come give me a lift, nosy beast!
And thank you.** He added fondly. Nimyth's rider _was_ in need of company. J'klin had just spent the last hour or so trying to cool off up on the Plateau, and now he was freezing. Threadfall had been hard for him today, Nimyth had tried to help with a odd falling clump and had gotten his wingtip singed as thanks. While Nimyth was being treated on the ground, J'klin had scanned the others that were injured. He had seen Arilanna on the far side, for he could have picked her out of a croud a hundred dragonlengths away, tending to a rider. The rider had dark hair and that was all J'klin had needed to see to imagine that it was U'kaiah that she was treating. He knew it probably wasn't him, but after he and Nimyth had been cleared he hadn't been able to get the thought out of his head, hence his trek up to the Plateau. As he entered the dining cavern and felt the warmth of the fire and heard the happy voices he thought that this was _much_ better than frostbite, but as he scanned the groups at the tables he realized that none of his friends and wingmates were in the room. He noticed two groups from U'kaiah's wing but had no wish to have anything to do with them, so he grabbed a mug and decided that he'd just have to get drunk all by himself!
}:He has moved to the dining cavern, my rider. Go find him and drink there. :{ N'klar frowned in the direction of his Weyr and his blue, but nonetheless made his way inside the dining caverns once more. His wingmate was at a table not far from the door, and he hailed him heartily. "Ho! J'klin! I've got some wine skins that need emptying.
Know anyone thirsty?"
"N'klar! Boy are you a sight for sore eyes." J'klin exclaimed, brightening in mood almost instantly, "However did you know I was looking for someone to asail me with good drink?" "Well, J'klin, my dragon is the biggest gossip in the Weyr." He burst into laughter at that and also the scathing response Julerith gave him.
"Although I was looking for someone to drink with too, so come on...
back to my Weyr we go and get out of the scorching cold!"
J'klin heartily agreed as he followed the bluerider back to his weyr. "And just so you know, after the day I've had today I plan on drinking until I can't stand anymore." "I seem to be doing a lot of that lately, J'klin." The bluerider grinned and led the way. "I wonder if I'll die young from fermented beverages, or if Thread will get me?" }: You will NOT DIE.:{ was Julerith's thundering answer, making N'klar go silent in his mind, confused at the depth of his dragon's reaction. "Hmm, I think I prefer your first option, a much more fun way to go!" J'klin chuckled as he slapped the other rider on the back. "We better get busy testing that theory, J'klin.. In you go." He shooed the brownrider into his Weyr, thinking of all the different wines they could try.
