Oh, cool, a beach! (open)

[shadowreine]

Roasha hrmed. "Got a backup plan?" she asked.

Hers was simple. Being a drudge here was better than most places, why not just stay?

[yamamoto]

Andol looked at her curoiusly and thought for a second and then siad to her " Not really. I guess I will stay here and find somthing to do. Beside people here are alot nicer to me then they were when I was back home."

[shadowreine]

Roasha nodded. "That's pretty much mine. I like it here better than anywhere else, so...no sense leaving. I hope we don't need them, though."

[yamamoto]

Andol looked up at her and siad " Yes I agree. I would hate to have to fall back on that plan. It would just be as bad as living life the way it was before."

[shadowreine]

Roasha shook her head. "Better, for me. I think Weyr life suits me. For one thing, if I'm not having to ride, I can have as many or as few kids as I want, no pressure either way."

[yamamoto]

Andol looked up at her and siad " I would not want to have kids at all unless you know somthing happened. Becuase there are things that can't be helped. Yet I would like to be a rider most of all. I mean that is the purpose of me coming here."

[shadowreine]

Roasha considered that. "You don't want kids?" That seemed to her to be an alien concept.

And that might well interfere with any relationship between them. But if she was a rider, she'd have to foster any children. That would be, for her, the price she paid for the freedom of the skies.

[yamamoto]

Andol looked up at her and siad " Well I never had really thought about it. You have to understand I don't talk to anyone and spend most of my time alone so therefore I never really consider that it would happen if you understand what I am getting at."

[shadowreine]

Roasha studied him. "You're talking to me," she said, softly. "Probably only because I'm almost as shy as you are and therefore not at all scary."

She actually winked at him. "Thinking about it...that's about why I'm talking to -you-."

[yamamoto]

Andol looked at her and smiled and siad " Yes I can agree to that. I do feel more comfortable around you. Becuase I feel you are so like me. I don't meet many people as shy as I am." Iron chriped at Roasha and then flew over and rubbed his head against her cheek affectionaly. He liked her becuase she made his pet happy.

[shadowreine]

Roasha nodded. "And who knows, maybe we'll end up weyrlings together."

With dragons who got on...that would be good too. Of course, if they Impressed in the same clutch...she found herself hoping for that. And then she got a lizard-head. She laughed, and scritched him.

[yamamoto]

Andol smiled at her and siad " Yes I hope the same thing to." He then looked at Iron as he sat on Roasha's shoulder and siad to her " It seems he likes you." Andol luaghed at this knowing that this was a good thing becuase it was always good that Iron liked the people he liked.

[shadowreine]

Roasha laughed. "Likes me? Nah, he just knows he's found a sucker who'll scritch him and might even feed him scraps. Flying stomachs, firelizards."

She was joking, from her tone...but they were. The way to a flits heart was through its stomach, that she was sure of.

[yamamoto]

Andol smiled at her and said " I though have found that they are alot smarter then we give them creidt for though. Yet you are right that you can get to like them just by feeded them. Yet I can tell you that if he was trying to get food off of you then he would be alot more annoying to you."

[shadowreine]

Roasha grinned. "I'm fairly sure that with his sense of smell he can tell I already -ate- all my food and don't have anything to give him."

She flopped back down on the sand. "He doesn't annoy me at all."
