((Is it too late to change Sarinthine's color? There can be more than one queen laid in a clutch, if the clutch is large, I believe... we seem to be the only ones in this RP right now, CrazyWriter.))
'Well, my parents treated me badly. I'd always heard ballads about dragonrider women, and I wanted to run away and become a dragonrider. One day I saw a dragonrider and a dragon flying out on a search, so I followed them. I followed them all over Pern, until finally, the dragon spotted me, and they picked me up and brought me back to this Weyr. The dragon's name was Saranth, he was a bronze... I was only eight when that happened,' Kyja said, 'Now I've finally Impressed a dragon. Happiest moment of my life, today was, no doubt. How about you? Where did you come from?'

{I don't think it's too late to change your dragon's color. In fact, I just might make Mas a Bronze... Maybe...}
"Well... My parents were nice enough, I guess, but they never spent much time with me." I sighed. "M'dad was a Dragonrider... A Brown, I think... He never visited us much. I'm weyr-bred, y'could say, but not born inside a weyr. M'ma dinne like dragons. An' when som'un on a Search found me, well... she din't like it. Not at all. She din't want me t' go. An' I was scared o' goin." I smiled grimly. "I ran away from home, an' from the dragonrider. That was about four years ago, give or take. Dragonrider foun' me 'bout a week ago. Been livin' in the rainforests by one o' the holds... Isten, I think... One o' the I's, I know that. Isten'r Igen." I grinned. "Bu' now I'm here, an' I'm glad. Livin' with firelizards isn't anythin' compared te havin' a Gold bonded te me."

((Why the sudden change in accent? XD Oh, and, can women ride Bronzes? I don't think there's a real RULE that they can't, it just might be unconventional... but we could change Mas and Sarin to some kind of female bronze, or just a regular bronze, that might be cool. I don't know, I think I'm just jabbering right now.))
Kyja scratches Sarin's eye ridges as she listens to Lynn's story.

{When I began the RP with her, I wanted her to have that accent, just... I forget to type it out sometimes....
I think women can ride any color, as long as there's a female of that color. I dunno, maybe a female Bronze isn't possible.... I know (pretty sure anyway) that a calico male cat isn't possible, so I wouldn't be that surprised if Bronzes are only males. We could change that, though-this IS an RP}
"So, er... How old are you?" I asked, trying to get off the subject. I got uncomfortable talking about it.

((Whoops, I forgot how old I was... let me go check. We probably could change things a bit, since this after all, like you said, is an RP, so we kind of make up our own rules. And plus, I've never heard of a platinum before, so... why not a female dragon that's the same level as a bronze, if not the same color? Argh... gotta go!))
'I'm 14,' Kyja said.

{Good idea... Hmm... Wait! I know! How about they're sorta between the Gold and Bronze levels... They could be *drumroll please*... Silvers!}
I nodded nervously. "Yeah, me too... I think..." I barked a laugh. "Y'know, I lived so much in'at rainforest I lost track o' me age?"

((Wow, silvers was just what I was thinking? Are you psycic? XD Anyway, I think silvers sound great, so I'm going to go ahead and change Sarinthine to a silver, if that's ok. Just to make it official: silvers will be like bronzes, and they'll be the same sort of rank and size and all that, only they'll be females. Should they be able to chew firestone? The reason that Queens can't is because it makes them infertile...))
Kyja continued to scratch (the now Silver) Sarin's eye ridges, and said, 'Yes, you look roughly 14.'

{Maybe they shouldn't be allowed to chew firestone... Or, maybe, unlike other dragons, they have a choice whether or not they want to. For a Queen it's a must not to, for other's it's a must to. Since Silvers are about the same size as Bronzes, which are pretty big, then a large Silver could probably almost match a Gold in clutch size. Especially if we're talking Nemorth queens.
Now that there's Silver, I want to be a silver! But I like golds too... What to choose?}

((I'm personally taking Silver. It doesn't really matter which you choose though. But I like the idea about Silvers having a choice as to whether they clutch or not. That's neat. A Silver's clutch might be a tad smaller than a Queen's clutch... but probably not by much. And they might not be able to lay Queen or King eggs... but probably Bronze and Silver eggs.))
Sarin? Kyja said through mindspeak.
What? Sarinthine answered sleepily, turning her silvery head up to Kyja to gaze at the girl with multifaceted eyes.
Now that you're officially a Silver, since you're out of your egg, have you decided whether you're going to fly someone or not? Kyja inquired.
Sarin yawned widely, and said, I don't know. I haven't decided yet. Scratch my left eye ridge.
Kyja obeyed the order, hugging the little Silver's head close to her chest.

((Sorry I haven't been on. I'm not allowed to go on until my *flinch*Homework*flinch* is done. My procrastination habits have gotten worse; so I probably won't be on for quite a while. Same goes for all other RPs and such.))

What are they saying, Mas?
She wants to know if Sarinthine is going to chew chew Firestone or have a clutch, she answered.
What do you want?
She was silent for a while, then If you make me chew Firestone I'll sit on you.
You're sitting on me now, I pointed out.
Mas laughed and I continued scratching her eye ridge.
It'll be nice to see you have a clutch, Mas. I can't wait until you fly.
Thank you, she said modestly.
{I think she'll be about the size of a Bronze, so still smaller than a Silver, but still pretty big.}

((Sarin'll just be regular Silver sized... which means she'll be a bit larger than a Bronze, but still smaller than a true Queen.))
Mas says she's going to have a clutch, Sarin said.
Does that sway you in either direction at all? asked Kyja.
No, said Sarinthine, what it all depends on is who's available for flying by the time I'm old enough to have a clutch.
Kyja laughed and said aloud, 'You're rediculous, Sarin, you know that?' But Sarin didn't answer, she had fallen asleep again.

((Oooh, homework. *flinch*))
'Well, she said that whether she has a clutch or not all depends on who's available for flying when she's old enough,' said Kyja, moving to scratch Sarin's right eye ridge.
