Subject: [DL-N] Getting a Lady's Attention
Day 8
Late Evening
Crater Rim
Beylen stretched his wings in the warm night air and heaved a sigh.
Beside him was Pearl. With their riders both working together so much
in the medical centre, the two dragons had been spending time around
each other and had gotten friendly.
[Get it over with and go talk to her.] The white dragon spoke sagely
to the glossy mahogany male.
[I think maybe you are right. She is just so beautiful. She might not
want to talk to me.]
[You have been sighing over her since she arrived. Just go.]
The object of their attention was lounging on the smoothed, sun-warmed
rocks along the rim of the crater near the visiting bronze queen and a
bevy of eager males. Even in the dark of night with the sun down, her
sultry draconic figure gleamed metallic red, picked up the faint light
of the torch fires down below.
[Look at all those dandies down there trying to get her attention. Why
would she talk to me instead of them.] Bey sat up, his tail tip
twitching and swinging just a little.
[Dandies? I thought they were our brothers.] Pearl glanced away from
the mahogany dragon and down at the crowd of humans gathered around the
dining hall where the hatching party was taking place, apparently
watching the antics of the warrenfolk.
[Alright, I'm going.] Bey stood up and started to pick his way along
the edge of the crater rim, when an idea occurred to him. [I just need
some supplies first.]
Pearl blinked as Bey spread his wings and dove off the cliff into the
warren below, heading for D'lion's rider's garden. He disappeared
amid the trees for a several minutes and then suddenly appeared again,
taking off from below with his foreclaws full of something. He rose
higher and higher, even above the rim, and positioned himself right
above the two queen dragons. He opened his foreclaws and let down a
shower of fragrant flowers ripped from the gardens, all over the bronze
queen.
Blossum looked up as the flowers landed all over her, and the saw the
glossy mahogany brown dragon as he dropped from the sky right above the
bevy of males that had congregated around herself and Deeva. The males
scattered out of the way as Bey landed with a jolting impact right
where they'd been.
Beylen ducked his head to the golden streaked bronze female who was
littered with the fresh flowers. [Beautiful Blossum, please accept my
offering. I need your help. You are wise and lovely, and had I not
already lost my heart to another, I would worship at your feet as you
deserve. Now all I can do is ask you to take pity on me. Your
companion has stolen my heart and I know only longing and pain.
Please, my lovely queen, can you help me?]
<Tag Tree!>
Respectfully submitted by,
Z'ak and Beylen
Aka
Bianca Payne
Summary
Day 8 Late Evening:
Pearl encourages Beylen to finally go talk to Deeva, and Bey decides
the best approach is to woo Blossum into helping him win Deeva's heart.

Day 3
-----------
Snip
<~That's them Jacin, Vordai and her rider.~> Djin said, turning to walk
over to the topaz female.
<~Thanks, I really did not see the woman get off her back and start
walking towards the main building Djin.~> Jacin said sarcastically,
walking towards the swiftly moving Saren, who had not seen him yet.
"Hey Saren, hold up a minute!" He called out, speeding up to a trot.
End Snip
------------
Saren paused and turned at the sound of Jacin's voice, shading her eyes
against the setting sun and looking to see who was calling her. When
she recognized Jacin, she grinned and walked toward him, meeting him
about halfway. She was dressed in her customary dark leather pants and
bodice and her short-sleeved silk shirt, today the same smokey shade as
her dragon, was unfastened from the collar to where it disappeared into
the bodice. Being as he was a couple inches shorter than her, she
draped one arm over his shoulders in a friendly fashion. "Jacin!
Wonderful! This means I don't have to wander around completely lost.
How do you like it here and do you know why they hauled my butt all the
way here from Telnor?"
Saren paused a moment. "Oh, and where's the dining hall? They had me
packing and out of the Warren so fast that I missed dinner."
------------
Vordai had watched her rider walk away for a moment before turning to
greet Djin, rubbing her muzzle against his cheek. She liked the large,
black and red dragon, in spite of the fact that he'd never been
interested in her as anything other than a friend. Even though she
liked meeting new dragons and seeing new places, it was nice to have
someone she knew around.
<~Well, you've certainly picked a nice warm place to be transferred
to,~> she said to him.
Djin returned her greeting with a dry mental chuckle. <~Indeed. Your
rider seems happy to see my rider.~>
Vordai rolled her eyes. <~She's probably trying to get information out
of him, since we weren't told much of anything other than the fact that
your Warren needed dragons with my special talent for some emergency or
other.~>
He looked at Saren's stuff, still packed around the saddle Vordai was
still wearing. <~Your rider doesn't seem to have brought much with
her. My rider had *way* more stuff than that.~>
<~She didn't want to bring to much, since she doesn't know how long
we'll be here.~>
-----------
"The dining hall is this way," Jacin said, slipping out from under
Saren's arm and starting to head in the appropriate direction. "And to
answer your other question, apparently there's some kind of giant snake
out here terrorizing the native, nomadic people and it's only
vulnurability is to cold. Since Cleft only has one dragon here who can
breath ice, they needed more and when I mentioned you, they sent for
you right away. I think they want to stop this thing before it kills
anyone else."
Saren's eyes widened slightly. "A giant snake? Well isn't that
unpleasant. But it does explain the speed at which I was sent here."
They'd approached the entrance to the dining hall while they were
talking and she looked around with interest as they entered. Quickly
getting something to eat, she hauled Jacin over to a table with her and
sat down. Once he'd sat down as well, she smiled. "So. Tell me about
your most recent experiments while I eat."
Jacin smiled slightly in return. She was one of the few people who was
willing to listen to him talk about the experiments without looking
bored or having her eyes glaze over. "Alright. But after you eat,
you'll need to see the quartermaster, Alania, and get yourself a place
to stay."
<tags: Josh, anyone else who wants to meet Saren or Vordai>
Summary: Saren and Jacin meet near the green and he explains why she
was called out to Cleft while he takes her to the dining hall to get
something to eat. Meanwhile, Djin and Vordai chat outside.
