Roasha was sharing her lunch with her firelizard.
The little queen really was a dead copy of Azarith in miniature. The same gold shimmer, the same iridescent sheen.
Were they really odd looking golds, or were they something new. "You," she told her little one, "Are the prettiest firelizard on all of Pern."
Chirp?

Scaeva's entrance to the dining hall was a noisy one, with Danger and Spray squabbling as they flew, Dive trilling to announce his presence, and Kih and Shy whispering to each other about how horribly loud their family was becoming.
Upon seeing the young Pearl flitt, Dive flew to her and landed nearby with a bold chirp. Perhaps he was a Blue and she was a Pearl, she was female and that was what mattered. Best that he taught her Blues were worth her attention too while she was young.
Scaeva laughed and after grabbing some food- a lot now with two more flitters to care for, especially voracious young ones- sat down near Roasha. "Dive looks like he likes it here," she commented. "Your Pearl is so pretty! What did you name her?"
As soon as Scaeva had set the food down, Spray and Danger were diving on it and grabbing whatever they touched and eating as quickly as they could. The pair watched each other as they did so, as though this were some sort of contest. Who could eat more and faster? Both wanted to win.
Dive and Kih remained firmly on Scaeva's shoulders, intimidated by the hatchlings who had taken over her plate. They would eat when those two finished.

Roasha smiled. "Treasure. It seemed appropriate, given how rare she is."
She wondered if there would be more. Maybe Azarith's clutch would give some answers on that.
The pearl chirped at the other firelizards, then went back to eating. "You have an entire collection of blues there, don't you." She grinned. "Not that there's anything wrong with blues, but they seem to like you."
She never wanted that many firelizards, but she had a feeling Treasure would insist on a 'servant' or two.

"Well, my new ones are Spray and Danger." Scaeva watched them and carefully grabbed a meatroll for herself. Spray glared at her, not happy she was taking food he could have eaten, but didn't do more than that.
"And Kih," Scaeva pointed out, although the little Brown was still hiding behind her neck so maybe the girl didn't see him. "He's the size of a Blue but still a Brown." He chirped softly and glanced at Roasha uncertainly. "I like all my Blues anyways, so it's a good thing they seem to like me too." She laughed. Maybe she would Impress a Blue dragon... that would be an interesting addition.

Andol when he entered had Clay and Sapphire on his shoulders and Iron in his arms. He then saw Roasha and the beautiful new Pearl that she had. He then saw that there was someone whom he did not know sitting there talking to her. He became very neverous. This sat his fair on edge even though Andol was trying to train them to be better about that.
Andol though wanted to talk to Roasha though dispite the fact he was scared. He walked over to there and quitly sat down next to Roasha without saying a word and he neverously said " Hel-lo." To both of them. Then Iron wiggled out of Andols arms and walked over and stood in front of Roasha and sent her a image of Scaeva so that Roasha would understand that it was not her that was making him neverous. The brown had done this becuase he thought it nessecry.
He then walked backed over and curled up on the table in front of Andol who then reached out and picked up Iron again. Andol looked like he just wanted to sink into the floor and dissaper. The two younger flit's on Andols shoulder were looking at Scaeva neverously and were on egde. The pair knew that it was not Roasha nor all the flit's at the table, but it was this person that Andol did not know and therefore was afraid of.

Roasha grinned. "Nothing wrong with blues, although I think Treasure would rather I got her a somewhat larger male."
The exquisite pearl chirped at the brown. And Roasha was not being shy, almost as if she had forgotten to.
When she saw Andol she remembered, looking away from Scaeva, and then towards him, and then smiling reassuringly. See. Scaeva hadn't bitten -her-.

"I guess they'll all listen to her," Scaeva laughed. Even Dive maybe. She should get herself a queen to keep all her more rebellious flitts in line... the Blue looked up at her with an expression that definitely said 'no' though. Dive liked being the leader of the group.
Scaeva glanced at Andol, not sure how much she liked his sudden appearance even if she had come in much the same way. "Hello," her tone was cheerful, and her thoughts quickly turned that way too. He had some nice flitts too, a Blue, two Browns... Dive wasn't too interested in them, but Spray and Danger chirped to the younger ones before turning back to food they were slowing down on eating.
Shy and Kih both looked over at the new flitts, wondering why they looked so nervous. Even Theirs did, which struck the pair as odd. Maybe they were shy, but they didn't like other flitts being scared of Scaeva. She was nice.

Roasha's reasuring smile made Andol a lot less neverous and then the two young flits became less neverous and they then flew down and landed on the table next to Iron. Andol then smiled a small smile and he siad to Scaeva " Hello." He held out his hand and Iron did his usal trick and Andol then began to eat the fruit Iron had droped in his hand. He then looked at Roasha and siad " How are you today?"

Roasha smiled. "I'm pretty good." She glanced over at the firelizards, then at her own.
"Treasure's growing pretty quickly." She'd be as big as a 'normal' gold, easily. There was no reason not to treat her exactly the same. She still wasn't sure whether the pearls should be considered a separate color or just a shade of gold. "Yours all look healthy too."

Scaeva smiled and shook Andol's hand. "I'm Scaeva." She wouldn't name all her flitts unless asked... three was alright, five would take too long. Dive chirped to the other Candidate's flitts though, happy enough to introduce himself. Danger and Spray glared at each other, but none looked likely to eat much more. Now they were probably waiting to see who could stay up longer.
Shy and Kih took their chance to start eating, reaching carefully out to grab a meatroll before darting back to sit by Scaeva while they ate. "I'll bet she will." Scaeva glanced at the pair and then at Treasure. She was a Pearl anyways, and they seemed to grow bigger than Golds. She didn't know if Roasha was talking to her or the boy when she spoke next and so grinned. "Hopefully Danger and Spray won't explode." They looked ready to after all the food they had just eaten.
