"Unlike him," I said. "I asked him what his dragon's name was, and he hightails it as far from me as possible. And when the Platinum went over to him, he didn't look to happy about it."

'Why wouldn't he look happy?' wondered Kyja. 'The platinum's beautiful.' As Sarin sent her a jealous thought, Kyja said, 'Don't worry, Sarin, you're the one I love most.'

"I know," I said. "I don't really understand either. If that were me... Well, I dunno what I'd do if that were me. I like Mas just fine. But I wouldn't be upset, I'll tell you that."
Lynn? asked Mas from my arms.
"Yeah, Mas?"
I'm hungry again.
"Alright, I'll go get you some more food... Excuse me for a little, will ye?" I said as I went over to the older Dragonrider, who had some meat.

'K,' said Kyja. To Sarinthine, she said, through mindspeak, So, what do you think of them?
I like them, this Lynn is better than most humans, said Sarin.
Kyja rolled her eyes.

Brandon glared. "I was plenty happy. But it does come with responsibility, you know. And I cant have some private time with me and my dragon?" he added with a scowl, adding more food to his platinum.

Kyja scratched Sarin's eye ridges, until Sarin complained, Ky, I'm hungry again.
Ok, we'll get you some more meat, Kyja said, and took the small green over to the older Dragonrider Lynn has gone to with Mas.

I ignored the boy's angry words and sat down beside the bowl of meat, carefully picking up a smaller piece and holding it up to Mas.
Yummy, she said softly, chewing on it. I smiled and picked up another piece, using my spare hand to stroke her back.
I heard someone coming up behind me and glanced over my shoulder, seeing Kyja coming with Sarin.

((mines a green)) "Excuse me, but where do I go now?" ((  Oopsies. Sorry 'bout that.)) "Oh! Um..." I said to the girl, looking at her green. For the sake of Faranth, I can't remember where the new Weyrlings go. I said to Uague, who was waiting for me outside the hatching grounds. All I recall is following you, my dear Riomu. Maybe you could go ask the Weyrleader? Replyed my dragon. Oh. Yes, of course! I said back. "I'm terribly sorry, miss. I can't remember where the new weyrlings go; despite the fact that my Wingleader told me where to go if anyone asked me. I'll go ask someone who does know, shall I?" I said quickly, jogging on the warm sands to one of the other dragonriders. ((You guys'll have to help me out here. Just like my character, I don't remember where the new Weyrlings go )) |

Oh, and I won't be on for most of the weekend so just pretend that I'm here)) |

((I'm reading Dragon Flight to re-familiarize myself with Pern (I've only read Moreta), and I can't put it down! I'm on page 206. Muaha.))
Kyja sat down neat Lynn, Mas, and the bowl of meat, carefully selected a small piece, and gave it to Sarin. The dragonet gulped it down hungrily, and stared pointedly at Kyja before saying, More, please. I'm still hungry.
Kyja took another piece, and fed it to the eagerly waiting little Green.

{I'm reading Dragonflight now, too... and I'm thoroughly ticked... Why don't queens fly? It's not fair! Why do they have wings if they're not supposed to fly? I'm not going to have Mas turn into a Nemorth!
I should have picked an albino Bronze instead...
Wait... Lessa mentioned a ballad mentioning a Queen flying... So, I guess we should be at that time, huh?}
We fed our dragons in silence for a while, concentrating on our dragons.
After a while, I couldn't hold back the question that had been nagging at me since Mas had hatched.
"So," I began casually. "Are albinos common? I don't think I've ever heard of one before... And have the Queens ever been this... you know... small? It's all right, Mas," I added hastily, "you're just fine. Just not the size of some other dragons is all. But you'll grow, won't you?"
Mas didn't seem too reassured by that, and I nearly groaned. I was barely past Impression, and already she held a grudge against me. Well, I'd been in worse conditions before.

((Don't worry, Dragon Flight's got a great ending. I finished it. The ballad Lessa mentioned I believe refers to Moreta, from the book Moreta: Dragon Lady of Pern or something like that. And yes, queens flew back then. Actually, we could be in either time... but I won't give away any more, you must finish the book. It is goood.
And I don't have a special dragon at aaaalll... just a plain old Green XD))
Kyja looked down at little Mas. 'Don't worry,' Kyja said to Lynn and Mas, 'dragonets grow fast. I've only ever heard of one other albino queen, and I've never heard of a platinum dragon in all my life.'

{Just finished it... Muahaha, I get a flamethrower!
Anyway, let's go back to Moreta's time. When they still have flamethrowers. And a Queens' wing.}
"Really? Another albino Queen? Why didn't I ever hear of her?"
{Can't think of anything else right now...}

((But I get a sack of ROCKS!! Aha... that sounded lame XD))
Kyja said, 'I just heard someone talking about an albino queen. I really don't know anything else.' Sarinthine was full now, and was dozing on Kyja's lap. Kyja smiled, and stroked the dragonet's soft skin. Barely past Impression, and she already loved the little beast more than she'd ever loved anything else, she thought ironically.

"They might have just been talking about Mas, you know," I said, depressed. I scratched her eye ridges, and she closed her eyes, pleased.
"So, what were you before you Impressed? I mean, are you weyr-bred, or did you come from somewhere else?"

Oopsies. Sorry 'bout that.))
