The weyrlings had successfully gone /between/.

Normally Harki didn't pay attention to what the weyrlings did or didn't do, but with the erotic book she and Rorela had bought burning a hole in her pocket, she'd suddenly found herself _very_ interested. As soon as the evening meal was over with, she asked Rorela to meet her in the dining hall so they could go find Paetri together.

When Rorela showed up, Harki swung her legs off the chair she'd been lounging on and crossed the hall to meet her. "Cerillith tells me that Camilth says Paetri's free."

Rorela flashed a grin, dimples appearing. "So, you're finally going to introduce me to this little weyrling of yours, hm? Is she expecting you?" She looped her arm companionably through Harki's. "And I get to be an audience. This...should be amusing."

"She's not expecting me-- us, unless Camilth told her." Harki grinned. "I think it's better that way."

}: She is by the lake, reading. :{ Camilth told Cerillith softly. }: She's under the big tree on a blanket. :{ Sending a mental image of Paetri sprawled, her head buried in dragon healing scrolls, Camilth dipped herself back in the lake, only her glowing eyes appearing above the water.

"You sneak. You're not going to even give her a clue, are you?" Rorela grinned widely at the thought, then paused. "Well, you know...she's already betweened, so maybe she's already taken care of that little issue. You know what it's like once you between. Everyone starts spending every free moment making like they're in flight lust." She paused and then sighed in blissful reminiscence. "Or..at least I did."

"Well, if she has, then this will just be a little fuel for the fire!" Harki patted the pocket where the book was. "Let's go find Paetri."

~*~

Paetri was, indeed, on a blanket by the lake. Harki led Rorela over and sat down next to the weyrling, startling her. "What are you reading?"

"Oh!" Paetri jerked her head up, smiling at Harki and then blinking at Rorela, slowly rising to greet the new green rider. "Just some things for dragonhealing. I spend most of my time in the infirmary." She glanced at Rorela's knots and dipped her head. "Greetings Wingthird."

Rorela rolled her eyes. "Just call me Rorela. You're Paetri, I take it. Harki's told me all about you." She gave a wide, twinkling smile and sat by Harki, curling her feet under her. "Sit, sit!" She looked at Harki. "She's cute. Are you sure that the book is necessary?"

Paetri flushed and sat. "What book?"

"Don't be greedy. You got your own." Harki stuck her tongue out at Rorela before turning to Paetri and drawing a small, cloth-wrapped package out of her tunic. "After our last talk, I thought I'd get you a little something. Rorela and I went over to Jade Harbour-- they have all sorts of interesting things in the market there, have you been yet?"

"Stick that out at me again and I'll make sure that it's used. " Rorela smirked. "Besides, I'm giving mine to someone. Maybe he'll get the hint." Rorela flashed a grin and a wink before turning to Paetri, eyes intent for her reaction. "Open it!"

Paetri watching the byplay with wide eyes, unsure as to what exactly the women were talking about. She carefully took the package and glanced at Harki. "I haven't been yet. I've been busy. It's a book? I like books..." Her voice trailed off as she opened the packaging. At the image on the cover, her face immediately went red and she stared at it with wide eyes. Her mouth opened, then closed, then something resembling a squeak emerged from her lips.

"Just to give you some ideas. You don't need to go through it now." Paetri _was_ cute when she blushed, Harki decided. "You should invite your boyfriend over and go through it with him. It might inspire you!"

Sputtering, Paetri just stared at the book. Unable to stop herself, she opened it with halting motions and then stared at the pictures that it offered. "I..wha...how..." She slammed the book shut just as quickly and stared at the pair, one of whom, Rorela, was trying desperately to keep from laughing. "I can't show this to J'kri! He..." She looked down at the book and tried to form the words. "It shows parts! Man parts! And..." She opened the book again, unable to stop herself as she pointed at the picture. "They do not look like that! They're floppy!"

"Only sometimes. They stiffen up when they're ready to go. Although that one-- the book might exaggerate when it comes to size." Harki tapped the page Paetri had opened the book to. "If a dragonman actually had a penis that big, he'd walk funny for the bulge in his pants."

Flabbergasted, Paetri stared at Harki while Rorela fell onto her back with a fit of giggles. "It's not funny!" She squeaked, then opened the book again, her eyes bulging. "I mean...OH..." She stared at a page. "A man and a woman do _that_?" She looked up at Harki and Rorela and then back at the book. "She looks...surprised and...he looks like it hurts.."

"Mmmm." Harki narrowed her eyes as she looked at the page and deliberately ignored Rorela. "Bad illustration. That actually looks pretty fun-- advanced moves, though, girl!" She cuffed Paetri lightly on the shoulder. "First time, you're better off doing it with you on top!"

"Advanced techniques..." Rorela giggled and then snorted through the giggles. "Harki'll know all about those." She wiped her eyes and then held her ribs, half bending as she took in their expressions.

Harki whacked Rorela in the shin. "You're just envious."

Paetri stared at her as though the wingthird might have some contagious mental illness before looking at Harki. "I ...I thought I wouldn't have to share a bed at all! You said it was my choice, not..." She looked down at the pages. "Uh....you didn't say anything about...uhm...why is his hand there?"

"Of _course_ you'll be sharing a bed!" Harki rolled her eyes. "You ride green, Camilth will rise, and it's way better to get some practice in before a Flight with someone you choose instead of your dragon's choice-- don't go in unprepared. Didn't the Weyrlingstaff explain that?"

"I could write a book on how much more I know than you." Rorela quipped, but then stared at Harki. "You said she didn't have to?"

"Of course I didn't! I'm not dumb," Harki shot back.

Paetri looked at Rorela, then at Harki. "I thought I could just..you..know...not do _it_ at all. Not go to the flight rooms or anything. They did explain, but everyone else had already uhm..done that. Except me." She paused and then looked at both women. "You have to practice?"

"The dragons decide, and you're just along for the ride. Hey-- I rhymed!" Harki beamed at the other two until she realized that neither of them were laughing. "Paetri, you really need to lose your virginity before Camilth rises. It's weird enough the first time when dragonlust takes you over. And it's way better to lose your virginity to a friend than someone you meet afterwards."

Rorela blinked at Paetri and nodded along with Harki. "Don't be a virgin when you go to those flight rooms, Paetri. At least a friend will be gentle and understanding. A man in dragonlust, well...he's not thinking of taking it easy and you won't be either. If you take care of it _before_ your Camilth rises, then trust me...you'll love the flights."

The weyrling sucked on her lower lip and looked down at the book. "So..." J'kri had offered and she'd asked for time. "I just go up and tell J'kri that I need him to bed me and get it over with?"

"Sure. I think that's what I said to U'kaiah." Harki leaned back on her hands and stared out over the lake. "We stole some wine and got roaringly drunk. It was fun."

"Which is why she can't remember most of it, I'm sure." Rorela's eye gleamed. "And it was probably very sloppy, wet and limbs everywhere." She pointed at the book. "Not so different from some of that in there." She grinned at Harki.

"Right-- like your first time was co-ordinated, oh mighty Wingthird," Harki shot back.

Paetri tugged on her braid and glanced down at the book. "Uh...okay... I never thought of just going up to him and..." Her face flushed as she shook her head. "Oh no. I can't just go up to someone, even J'kri, and tell him to take me to bed. That's...just.." She tugged on her braid and she stared at Harki and Rorela and she dropped the book in her lap. "I wouldn't know the first thing."

"Which is why we got you the book!" Harki said.

"I was very glad to get it done." Rorela said with a laugh and a toss of her short hair. "Had myself a nice experienced brown rider." Her brows waggled.

"You make it sound like it's all fun." Paetri blinked slowly at both of them.

Harki exchanged a look with Rorela. "Well, yeah. Sex _is_ fun. If it wasn't, nobody would have any."

Paetri couldn't help but wonder from what the two women, G'wen, and J'kri had been telling her that maybe her mother had been wrong. She nibbled on her lower lip and looked down at the book once again. She swallowed and looked at the two. "Maybe...maybe you could help me? J'kri said he would...you know.." She flushed and shifted in her seat, eyeing the book. "I've been kind of...holding off with him. What should I do?"

"Steal some wine and go through the book with him. Things'll move along on their own," Harki said.

"Or just show up naked in his weyr with the book. " Rorela grinned at Harki as Paetri gaped disbelievingly at her. "She's got long hair to cover up some bits, just surprise him when he comes in. He'll be your slave, m'girl."

"It's true. He's young. His eyes will bug out of his head. Wait-- do you have any sexy underthings?" Harki asked. "Anything see-through?"

Paetri tried not to sputter a response, she truly did, but only managed to squeak out a negative.

Rorela turned to Harki, rubbing her hands together in sudden eagerness. "I have just the thing. White, sheer and it's long enough on me to be about mid-thigh on her. It would set off her hair and coloring. You got her the book, so that can be my contribution." She glanced at Paetri and patted her hand. "Don't you worry about a thing. We'll have him eating out of your hand.

Paetri squeaked.

Harki threw back her head and laughed. "This is going to be so, so fun!"
