Puppies

Weyrling Barracks
Inside the wooden building fresh air circulates from the many open windows lining the two longest walls. Outside, you can see many tropical trees and shurbs. The walls and ceiling of the barracks are made of slats that have been pegged together tightly. Overhead are beams from which electric lights have been strung. The floor is of black volcanic stone, rubbed to a smoothness that will not hurt the tender claws of young dragons.


Along each of the two longer walls are cots set up next to rounded depressions in the stone. There are enough areas available for all of the young dragons and their new riders with room to spare. At the back of the barracks are trunks with oiling supplies and bins where fresh meat is delievered until the dragonets learn to hunt for themselves.

X'an for his part, appears to be reading through all this marvellous .. reading material that goes hand in hand with a little dragonling. Until he gets the hang of things, he is several steps shy of neat and tidy. Oil staining, mud splatters, yes.. very not-clean.

Phailinugoth is wandering through the barracks, poking in his nose here, his nose there. « Ooo, whats this? » Curiosity prompts him to find out what it is and he sticks his nose into the barral and comes up with it dripping with oil « It's the sweet nectar of life! » K'nan sits up from where he's collapsed on a cot "It's oil, you know it's oil, can't you nap or something?" Phailinugoth looks around at his partner « Why would I want to do that? You can't do anything while sleeping. » A groan escapes K'nan "Exactly, that's what sleep is all about.

Izelth found out that a nice warm green body is .. a nice warm green body. He fell asleep a while back, curled up beside Aeleojaith, quite happy and content in his slumber. But now the small brown cracks open an eye, membranes sheathing back from the jewelled orb, and peers outward dozily. «You can have splendid adventures when you sleep you know. I have discovered that the great snakebeast queen had a whole army of babies, sliding and slithering into their lives and savaging the land. What a splendid adventure it was to conquer them all, protecting humanity from the devestation her kind would have wreaked!» he rolls it out like thunder and fire, a totemic tale around a burning pyre. «They breathed noxious breath you know.» as an afterthought.

Aeleojaith is quite comfortable as she is, relaxing in her huge couch with room to spare. Thats why the little Izzy has found a place to curl up with her. Ah, she's quite happy to have him join her too. She's quite happy to sit here and watch her charges too. She silently chuckles to the little ones around her. »Adventures come in either awareness or sleep, both are solid and good for you.« she just wants to keep the peace, no?

Phailinugoth seems to ponder that for a bit and then shakes his head « But sleep is so /boring/ » he warbles and slinks back away from the oil pots, much to K'nans' relief. Course neither one of them see the oil that drips off Phailinugoth's nose. The little blue dashes over to Aeleojaith, manageing to make it with out falling and then comes to a sliding halt as he looks up at the green « Can I have a puppy? »

X'an snickers quietly, and tucks the end of his nose under his wing, curling up nicely against this big green warmth. «Uh-oh. It begins! What -is- a puppy anyway? A fluffball doesn't really explain it all that much.» pondering this, he goes far and away to his distant place of dashing derring-do and high adventure.

Izelth snickers quietly, and tucks the end of his nose under his wing, curling up nicely against this big green warmth. «Uh-oh. It begins! What -is- a puppy anyway? A fluffball doesn't really explain it all that much.» pondering this, he goes far and away to his distant place of dashing derring-do and high adventure.

X'an lifts his nose out of the reading material, peering at the onrush of blueness that bounds with boundless energy, and his gaze trails to the oil drips. See, it figures /he/ would spot such things, because well.. he has to, else he'd have been the one to go head over tailfeather on the slip.

Aeleojaith purrs softly. »A puppy is cute, fluffy, and a lot of fun. S'in and I had one a long time ago, I can't remember what happened to it.« S'in makes his way in, the proddyness himself. For once he looks halfway kempt, and stuff. "Ahhhh, Hi Leo, Darlin'." he murmurs to her before shuffling into his office. The Lings should know they can bug him if they need to by now.
Proddy WLM's. Fear.

K'nan watches Phailinugoth and grins as the dragon seems to almost frown at that « But that didn't answer my question. Canni have a puppy? Please? » K'nan groans and buries his face in his hands. "And just how would you feed it? « I'd give it meat too, like oyu give me meat and it can sleep with us »
Izelth lifts his head up out from under his wing once more, looking up at Aeleojaith, then at her rider as the WLM heads on past. He chuffs at the man, and then looks up at the green again. «But what -is- it? what is a dog and why would we want one?» he asks, curiosity in his tone, vibrant yellow.

Aeleojaith projects a picture of some sort of mutt pup and then grunts. »You can all have puppies when you get a little older. I promise. "Leo! Don't promise them that! What about all the messes and stuff puppies make, eh? Their poor riders…" he comments, wandering out of the office and eyeballing his green.

X'an enters a quiet battle of wills with Izelth, slooping off to get a mop and oil rag to clean up the oil spillage. The brown in the meantime, grunts quietly, and tucks himself up again. «I think I'll dream about puppy slobber and bad breath snakes again. Maybe they'll battle one another in epic scenes.»

K'nan eyes Phailinugoth and hmms "How about we see about it after we have our own weyr, and a place to keep a puppy, it's abd enough cleaning up your messes, I don't need to clean up a pups as well. Phailinugoth ponders that a bit and then looks up at Aeleojaith and then back at his partner. « Promise? » He asks eagerly. K'nan nods "I promise, we'll find a puppy together when we have our own place."
