Dirwol smiled as he knocked on Jyra door. Treasure had just informed Dirwol that she had clutched. He was here to see if Jyra wanted to go with him to get them.

Jyramikah had just gotten back from giving Ikoladith a bath and was brushing the sand from her clothes when she heard the knock on the door. She answered it and smiled when she saw Dirwol. "Hello! Did we have plans this afternoon?" she asked hoping she hadn't forgotten that they were going to do something. Not that she wasn't glad to see the harper or do something with him if they didn't have plans. She just hated to forget important things like plans she made with people.

"No, but Treasure has been bugging me. She keeps sending me images of the cave I hid in when I impressed her. I believe she has Laid her eggs and wants me to see them. I planned to go fetch them and waundered if you wished to come with me. Perhaps we can make a day of it?" He smield "That sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day. Let me get Ikoladith ready and we can be off. Do you need to get anything?"

"I have everything I need. Take your time." He smiled as he followed her to her ledge. He bowed to Ikoladith as he reach over to scratch her eyeridge. He had a bag over his shoulder in which to get them back to the weyr, he also had jars waiting in his weyr.

Jyramikah had Ikoladith into her straps quite quickly. She could have done it with her eyes closed as many times as they had done this in their turns together. Everything was secure and in the right place, so she nodded to Dirwol. "All set. Where are we headed?" she asked once they were settled onto the gold and secured.

He quickly discribed it aloud and then had Treasure send the image to Ikoladith. He smiled as he snuggled up to Jyra.

With the destination firmly in their minds, Ikoladith launched herself into the air and then /between/ emerging above the beautiful cove. The gold landed and curled up to wait once her rider and passenger were dismounted.

"This a beautiful place. How did she find it?" Jyramikah asked as she followed Dirwol's lead.

"I was traveling down the coast to a hold and a large storm reared it's ugly head. I hid in this cave here." He lead her inside. "I was suprised to find a nest inside. They hatched just as the storm became terrible. I feared for the hatchlings so I began to feed them what food I had. when the storm broke they all left. I fell asleep and woke up with Treasure and Flips. as I began traveling again they became my companions. I guess Treasure wanted to put her nest in the same area she was hatched."

He smiled as she landed on a mond of sadn and eggs. He quickly counted and smiled as he looked up. "Twelve. I'd say they did well." Treasure looked smug as she watched her two people. She had come to think of her mates person as hers also. She chriuped at her mate.

"That is quite a clutch. Will you find homes for them all?" Jyra asked as she gazed down at the eggs. It was very much like her own gold's eggs but on a very much smaller scale.

"I already have a few. I plan to give one to my Hallmaster and his second.Whatever I don't find a home for I am going to give to the weyrwoman to give to those she believes deserve one. Do you know anyone who may want one?" HE asked as he finished up packing them.

"Not that I know of, but if I hear of someone I'll let you know." "Alright. I think that's all of them. Shall we enjoy ourselves before returning." He asked as he took her in his arms. he loved how the light played off her hair. "I'd like that." she replied leaning into him happily.
