He tears into its quivering flesh, sucking out its blood.
-=) At the feeding grounds, Jesseth lifts from the ground, wings beating the
air furiously as he swoops to a kill. The snatch quick, and in a moment he
is on the ground hovering and drinking deeply, crimson.

-=) At the feeding grounds, Lecil shakes her head slowly at Nerilth, imposing
her own will.

cheek, but only managed to smear it.

almost casually reaches out with a forelimb to grab another as it runs past
him, snapping it's neck handily
-=) At the feeding grounds, Nerilth tosses the drained carcass aside, snarls
at Jesseth, and pounces on another beast. It sqweels in terror for long
moments before she dispatches it with a sharp shake of her head.
Tilani leans forward, over Merinth's neck.
-=) At the feeding grounds, Jesseth drops the carcass unceremoniously, his
eyes whirling a deeper color now as he regards Nerilth. His body crouches,
tail writhing as he utters a dark rumble.

surging herd. He sights a sturdy beast and pounces upon it, killing it

and BUGLES! in anticipation and challenge before scanning the heard for yet
another animal.
-=) At the feeding grounds, Jesseth's talon is quick, his wings pushing back
as he dispages a savage killing blow to a squeeling herdbeast. Pulling it
to him, his jaw sinks into the hide, the warm rush of the creature's
lifeblood heating him even more. His voice grows with the drinking, louder,
stronger.
-=) At the feeding grounds, Darieth snakes his neck above the drained
herdbeast searching for his next kill. His eyes whirl as he watches the
glowing green. He BUGLES back to Zyrieth and then he plunges into the herd,
snatching another beast. He rumbles deep in his throat.

aim it at Zyrieth. She reaches out and snares a passing animal, rending it
in half as she step on its hips and tugs at its shoulders.

beneath his talon. He then lowers his head to suck in the bright red flow
that will give him the strength he craves!
IgenW-LC> Alisanda comes in from the Bowl.
-=) At the feeding grounds, Lecil crunches on the beast, eyes whirling
definatly at Lecil. But she still doesn't eat.

slight swishing sound.

to hiss whenever a male gets too close.

wings flair as he takes in Darieth and Zyrieth, and now Tagenth as well.
Eventually they settle on Nerilth.
-=) At the feeding grounds, Tagenth eyes Nerilth closely, then with lightning
like reflexes, snaps a claw out to bury his talons in the back of a passing
herdbeast. He slowly drags the kill towards him, and bloods it.

IgenW-LC> Alisanda decides to find herself a seat before her dragon is too

IgenW-LC> J'nah stands and leaves the table by the kitchens.
IgenW-LC> J'nah climbs the stairs, past the balcony and up to the upper
hallway.
-=) Just overhead, Nerilth seems unaware that she is followed, confident in
her ability to leave any and all dragons way behind her as she rushes away
with little understanding.
IgenW-LC> Anise climbs the stairs, past the balcony and up to the upper
hallway.
-=) Just overhead, Zyrieth BUGLES! angrilly at the suddenly appearing brown
and takes another great sweep of his wings to catch a thermal, rising
higher and faster into the air, his goal rapidly flying higher...
IgenW-LC> R'lym climbs the stairs, past the balcony and up to the upper
hallway.

its open.

his bulk, he is swift, and reasonable agile.

rising into the air, higher, higher, above the others, gaining speed with
each stroke of his wings, eyes whirlings and locked on the rapidly flying,
glowing Green.

banking to match the general direction that Nerilth's quicker turns are
taking her, slowly bringing himself higher then the Green, awaiting his
chance...
-=) Just overhead, Tagenth angles into a steep dive, holding his outstretched
wings just right so that they make little sound as he cuts through the air
after the green. His eyes whirl a chaotic mixture of lust and determination.

-=) Just overhead, Tagenth carefully shifts into a position he hopes is
outside of Nerilth's range of vision, then follows in hot pursuit.
-=) Just overhead, Jesseth grows silent now, all his energies focused on the
brilliant form before him. Muscles ripple, strain as his sleak form surges
upward throught the wind. The sound of it is like constant thrunder through
his wingsails.
-=) Just overhead, Nerilth looks back for a moment, issuing a taungingly
definate bugle. << None of you can catch me! >>
-=) Just overhead, Darieth watches the radiant green as she taunts her
pursuers. His youthful body strains to outmaneuver the older and larger
males.

trying his best to catch her. His inexperience shows as he gets too close,
and is easily fooled by a small move by Nerilth.

superioirty in the air, she banks and dives through the crowd, scattering
males hither and yon.

down. He folds his wings and falls, following her.

spiraling slightly as he opens his wings again to control his maneuver.

flight, straight and steady, waiting for a chance to dive after the tricky
Green, beating his wings with great strength, untired.

turning sharply in the air even as she continues to drop precipitously. Her
tails swirls behind her.

his angle, he wings closer to the emerald green with extreme caution.
-=) Just overhead, Nerilth bobbles suddenly in the air, one wing flinching,
but she recovers quickly.
-=) Just overhead, Sevreth continues chasing the green, trying to catch up to
the pack.

and seeing a chance, suddenly folds his wings as he drops down in a quick,
direct dive.

Modi> Aisha smiles gratefully at Shandar.
Modi> T'vor grins at Shandra, "I agree."

closely Darieth came.

Nerilth as possible.
-=) Midway up in the Bowl, Tabbenth wings down to Tabbenth's ledge.

whuffles.

forcing himself into an upward momentum to keep pace with the nimble green.
He spares only a glance for Zyrieth as that dragon misses his mark.

take him farther and farthe from his goal. He quickly reopens his wings,
trying to regain control of his fast fall.

but she continues to hurl tants at the males.

her focused on one thing only, catching her.

wonder who will win.."

Modi> M'llon grins, "Like I have marks!"
Modi> T'vor sees Zyrieth up there and hrms.
-=) Just overhead, Tagenth interrupts his steady persuit to change his rhythm
and begin to accelerate. Sensing he may get a chance soon, he refuses to
bide his time any longer and tries to wing into a good position.
-=) Just overhead, Jesseth hisses in return, a defiant noise uttered toward
the green. His wings turn, changing his speed and direction slightly. A
sharp veer follos it and he falls just behind her, waiting.
-=) Just overhead, Zyrieth 's fall continues, unabated as he misjudges his
speed ans is as yet unable to regain any control. He sudenly disapears
*Between*.

for the day that Tagenth wins."
Modi> M'llon says "Probably the blue or brown.. Nerilth is pretty tricky for
bronzes.."

bronze.

happened."
Modi> M'llon shrugs, "I can't see much of anything."
-=) Just overhead, Zyrieth continues his now slower circle toward the ground.
-=) Just overhead, Jesseth wastes no energy now either, his focus on Nerilth
alone. She commands his view, his sense, his being. He moves through the
sky, on instinct, his strength waivering slightly. He ignores it.
-=) Halia strides in from the training field to the northeast.
-=) Just overhead, Sevreth looks tired, and worn, but he will not let the
others show him up. He pushes from some inner focus, draws strength from
his rider, and flies on.

IgenW-LC> Halia comes in from the Bowl.
-=) Just overhead, Tagenth breathes harder, ignoring any discomfort in his
muscles as he nearly rips through the air. He counters Nerilth's sly
dodging with experience from turns at flying after erratic thread, and
maintains his position.
Modi> T'vor stands as Penath looks at him, "Okay, I'll oil you." He looks to
M'llon, "Yup, he's my mom's dragon."
IgenW-LC> Rafael looks up, and nods.

IgenW-LC> Halia strides through the passageway into the Inner Caverns.

remain free, away from those that would capture her. Her whole world is
focused on the beating of her wings, the air beneath them.
-=) Just overhead, Tagenth tries to use Nerilth's tunnelvision to his
advantage, soaring upwards several dragonlengths. Balancing on the winds
slightly above her, he prepares to make a move.

Modi> Aisha says "M'llon"
Modi> M'llon smiles and waves.
Modi> Aisha waves.

green, pocketing her.
Modi> Aisha trots off towards the field to the east.
-=) Aisha strides in from the training field to the northeast.
-=) Just overhead, Sevreth just flies straight...his exhaustion nagging at
him. He hopes Nerilth will tire before him, and drop slightly, as he is a
little beneath her.
-=) Just overhead, Tagenth snakes his neck to look back over his shoulder and
all around, judging the position of the other males before he commits.
Tilani sits astride Merinth, gaze turned upward. Merinth's attention is
skyward, also.
-=) Aisha pauses and squints up at the sky briefly

with agility.

escaping an entanglement which sends him spiralling downwards.

Dragon> Bromith bespoke Igen dragons with << Who won? >>

only enough to avoid the entangled pair of dragons. He lets his momentum
carry him in a wide spiralling arc back towards the Weyr.

Dragon> Igen dragons sense that Bromith croons to Sevreth.
-=) Just overhead, Jesseth's hiss turns to a low croon, his wings beating
rapidly, enfold Nerilth. Tail, neck, he snares her, tightening his hold.

-=) Just overhead, Darieth breaks off and flies off dejectedly.
Dragon> Igen dragons sense that Dayth crooons sweetly to Sevreth
Dragon> Igen dragons sense that Ildranth has never won one at *all*, Sevreth.

Jesseth. Good."

Leave me alone. >>
Dragon> Igen dragons sense that Sevreth grumbles in his weyr.

IgenW-LC> Rafael looks at J'nah, starting...then sits back.
here to forget about it mostly :)"
IgenW-LC> Irina clears her throat and stays out of the way.
IgenW-LC> J'nah's face is a mask of restrained emotions, anger, sadness, lust,

Tilani says as an afterthought, "Need some help?"

-=) Midway up in the Bowl, Zyrieth disappears into Between.
Modi> J'nah comes in, in a huff. Knees and elbows bleeding. He's got a small
cask of wine over his right shoulder, and a mug in his left hand. He looks
ready to pop from a wide variety of emotions.
Dragon> Merinth bespoke Igen dragons with << Jesseth. >>
-=) Aisha grins. "Yeah, if you're not going to try and set me up with anyone."

-=) Just overhead, Tagenth wings higher into the air of the Bowl.

soft tone of his own voice.

Tilani says "And so I thank you for not blaming my reactions on her."
Dragon> Sevreth bespoke Igen dragons with << He's getting drunk again...just
what I need. >>
Just overhead, Nerilth beats her wings powerfully.
Midway up in the Bowl, Nerilth swoops higher up into the Bowl.
Tilani says "She doesn't deserve that."
Dragon> Igen dragons sense that Ildranth sighs. Anything we can do?
Just overhead, Jesseth backwings to land neatly on the guest weyr's ledge.
Midway up in the Bowl, Nerilth wings down to land on Nerilth's ledge.

keep the hurt out of her voice.
Midway up in the Bowl, Nerilth wings down to Jesseth's ledge.
Dragon> Sevreth bespoke Igen dragons with << Short of clubbing him until he
passes out...I don't think so. >>
Dragon> Sevreth bespoke Igen dragons with << He yells at me. I'd rather just
let him do it. >>
Dragon> Tagenth bespoke Igen dragons with << You best yell at him before
someone else does. >>
Dragon> Sevreth bespoke Igen dragons with << I have, it doesn't work. >>
Aisha abruptly turns her head.
Dragon> Sevreth bespoke Igen dragons with << Just makes him mad, and drink
more. >>
Dragon> Ildranth bespoke Igen dragons with << I don't see how anybody can help
him but you, Sevreth. >>

Just overhead, Nerilth glides down cautiously.
Just overhead, Nerilth backwings to land neatly on the guest weyr's ledge.
Aisha snorts. "You were the one that said I was unarmed."
Tilani simply looks at Aisha.
Tilani says "You're not."
Tilani says "And you know that."
Aisha nods. "I do."
Aisha sighs. "I thought we had an understanding."
Tilani says "Why do you insist on testing it?"
Tilani says "Are you afraid that one of these days you'll look for it and won't
find it?"
Aisha shakes her head. "I never did. You have. You want to change the rules."
Tilani's eyes are pale blue, directed at Aisha, "I did, perhaps."
Aisha stiffens and looks away.
Tilani says "Keep it up, and that understanding /will/ crumble."
Aisha folds her arms and says tightly, "/I/ am not doing anything."
Tilani rolls her eyes.
Tilani says "Come, now."
Tilani says "Let's run this conversation backwards a bit."
Tilani says "'I'll help you, if you'd like.'"
Tilani says "I grin."
Tilani says "And then maybe add..."
Tilani says "Oh, I don't know."
Aisha swallows, avoiding Tilani's gaze.
Tilani says "Something like: Hey! Maybe one of those rider's would like to take
you to Boll, after it settles down a bit."
Tilani says "Joking."
Tilani says "Of course."
Tilani says "I mean, I know you don't want that, so I'd /have/ to be joking."
Aisha says quietly, "And you don't think I was joking."
Tilani says "I have no -idea-."
Tilani says "How would I know!?"
Tilani says "You were /so/ hot under the collar about this just the other day."
Tilani says "And now everything's peaches and creme?"
Aisha sighs. "Because we're friends...because."
Tilani starts to continue and just stops.
Aisha swallows and gestures with her hands.
Tilani blinks a few times in rapid sucession. She looks at Aisha.
Tilani says "I don't want 'rules,' Aisha."
Tilani says "You want understanding, that's fine, but it comes with all
the rest of me, as well."
Tilani says "Merinth."
Tilani says "My temper."
Tilani says "My concern."
Tilani says "My loyalty."
Tilani says "All of it."
Tilani says "My cliffs."
Tilani says "My rambunctiousness."
Merinth> Waves of pain, misery, frustration, and the ache of love (philos not
eros) surround and swirl about Aisha in chaotic patterns. At any time, one
submerges the others.
Aisha nods quietly. "I know. I never asked you to be anything other than you.
Can you accept me as I am?"
Merinth's head moves forward on it's neck, and butts against Tilani's hand.
Tilani moves to cover a headknob with her palm.
Tilani nods, "If I'm convinced that you can."
Aisha blinks. "What?! I wasn't the one who asked you to change!"
Tilani shakes her head.
Tilani says "No."
Tilani says "You asked yourself."
Tilani says "I happened to be there, when it happened."
Aisha nods. "I did, because I trusted you to listen, to be my friend, to try
and understand." Her voice lowers. "I never expected that you would use my
words against me at a later time."
Midway up in the Bowl, Viresth wings lower into the Bowl.
Just overhead, Viresth glides down cautiously.
Just overhead, Viresth flies carefully towards the main entrance.
Tilani nods.
Tilani looks at Merinth.
Tilani says "I don't want to hurt you, Aisha."
Tilani says "I appologize if I have."
Tilani says "No."
Tilani says "I know I have."
Tilani says "And I appologize."
Aisha looks at Tilani and nods quietly.
Aisha swallows and then says softly, "I forgive you."
Tilani says towards Merinth's head beside her, "So what do we do?"
Aisha looks down at her hands and then up at Merinth, and back to Tilani.
Aisha furrows her brow in thought.
Aisha smiles wanly. "I'd like to say 'go back to where we were before', but is
that possible?"
Tilani shakes her head.
Tilani says "Why would you want to?"
Tilani says "What lies for you there?"
Aisha suddenly grins. "It worked."
Tilani looks up at Aisha.
Merinth's fingersails rustle in the evening breeze.
Aisha gazes back at Tilani. "What has changed in you?"
Tilani says "Quite a bit. -- Starting from when?"
Aisha says "WHen you suddenly felt the need to meddle in my life."
Tilani says "When I saw you in pain."
Aisha shrugs. "Pain is a part of life, Til. I spewed. I moved on."
Tilani nods.
Tilani says "I ..."
Tilani looks off.
Aisha gazes at Tilani.
Tilani takes a deep breath, "I don't like it when my friends lie to me."
Tilani says "I don't know why they do it."
Tilani says "And I don't know how to respond."
Tilani says "I just don't."
Aisha blinks several times. "Excuse me?"
Tilani says "She hears you."
Tilani glances to Merinth.
Tilani says "You."
Tilani says "What you feel."
Tilani says "Think."
Tilani says "When you're near."
Tilani says "And it's strong."
Tilani looks down.
Aisha looks up quickly at Merinth and blushes.
Aisha averts her eyes.
Tilani swallows heavily.
Aisha says slowly, "Sometimes I find it hard to say what I'm feeling. I'm
not...I was...I lived in a time and place where that was dangerous." She
swallows. "But I don't lie."
Tilani quotes, but with a gentle tone, a soft alto, "'I spewed. I moved on.'"
A beat, "I'm fine, Til."
Tilani looks up and over to Aisha.
Tilani says "Are you?"
Merinth> A flash of fear overrides all the other swirling tides and abruptly
gets cut off. Then nothing. She seems to have closed herself off.
Aisha moistens her lips and then nods. "Yes, I'm fine."
Merinth's soft purr grows louder and then suddenly quiets. Her eyes, flecked
with small spots of yellow whirl at a slower pace.
Aisha's gaze flickers to Merinth and then back to Tilani.
Tilani takes her bottom lip into her teeth for a moment, "You'll ..."
Tilani says "You'll tell me if that changes?"
Tilani says "Because of me, or ..."
Merinth> A trace of gut wrenching fear leaks out from Aisha as she looks at
you. She is afraid of you, very afraid. She fears for her life. Then she
looks away and abruptly, it's gone again.
Merinth's single note is high-pitched, but not loud. Her neck moves back and
arcs upward. High above the two in a fluid, swift motion.
Aisha starts to nod slowly and then stops. She looks up abruptly at Merinth.
Tilani lets her hand slip from the dragon's head and then hangs uselessly at
her side. Just a nod.
Aisha says quietly, "
Aisha says "I need my privacy like anyone else."
Tilani nods.
Tilani says "I'll ... I'll give it to you."
Aisha swallows and then looks up at Merinth. "Will you?"
Tilani says "Will she?"
Tilani says "Probably not, she can't help it."
Tilani says "Will I?"
Tilani says "Yes."
Aisha considers this carefully.
Tilani adds after a minute, "If that's what you want."
Aisha relaxes visibily. "Just let be me. I never claimed to be perfect or
always consistent, but let me vent without trying to smother me later."
Tilani says "Alright."
Tilani says "You don't have to ask twice."
Aisha suddenly smiles.
Tilani's smile is slower in coming.
Aisha leans over and gives Tilani a hug.
Tilani's face tightens for a moment. She hugs Aisha in return, longer. She
holds it there.
Aisha hugs back and allows Tilani to hold her.
Merinth> Waves of relief wash over Aisha drowning out almost every other
emotion.
After a moment, minute, perhaps longer. She releases. Tilani rubs her face,
flashes a quick smile, and moves to mount Merinth.
Aisha smiles gently.
Merinth lowers her head to the floor of the bowl. Her gentle rhythmic purr
growing once again in her throat.
Merinth> You sense Aisha seems amused. Running away again. Nice purr.
Soft. Over. Things are back to normal again.
Merinth(#5918IMQVaepqs)

You clamber nimbly up Merinth's forelimb to your spot between two neckridges.
-=) Aisha gazes at Merinth and grins. "You would be a lot less trouble if you
were a feline."
Tilani chuckles, "Then she wouldn't be Merinth."
-=) Aisha smiles and gently strokes Merinth's head.
Merinth> You sense Aisha steps closer to you to stroke your head and
muses to herself. I forgot that dragons have a short memory. It was ok
with Leilanth. She never told. hee, funny. guess I have the short memory.
Tilani takes a deep breath. "I need to get to sleep." -- "See you in the
morning?"
-=) Merinth's head vibrates under Aisha's hand.
-=) Aisha gives Merinth's eyerides a little scritch and then steps back.
"Sleep well, 'Lani. You too Merinth."
-=) Merinth spreads her wings out wide, full extention. Her muscles tense and
then release in an almost stream-like fashion. She is aloft on the first
downbeat of her wings.
You spring into the air of the Bowl!
