Both rider and dragon sought shelter in the waters that lapped the beach.
Roxikanta's red hair was tossed by the wind, and she waded after her dragon.
FriendlyMine, come onto my back and let me carry you. Humans are not fishes, and you are so slow sometimes. [/color]
Auerosth's cheery voice came into the girl's mind, and she smiled.
She clung onto the Garnet's tail, making her way to his neck's crest.
The red dragon hummed, and kicked freely now, paddling his almost over-sized paws happily.
He froze mid stroke, lifting his head, waves lapping his hide.
Someone also comes. Friends... Friends! [/color]
He sang, glancing around for the newcomers.

“But Peniath… that’s a garnet out there… I.. I know I shouldn’t judge, but Yufa’s garnet… I don’t want you getting hurt.” U’wa glanced nervously at the garnet and his rider, wary about approaching. He had promised Peniath that they could come play on the beach, but now that there was a potential danger… Nonesense Mine! What if he’s friendly!? Aren’t you always saying we shouldn’t judge a… a book by its pages or something?
“That’s… a book by its cover, Peni…” the greenrider mumbled nervously as his dragoness scampered on ahead of him, clearly intent on joining the violent looking dragon. U’wa followed, albeit at a slower, nervous pace. He was ready to run if need be; he had dealt with Braymoth enough times to know any dragon with a red hide could mean trouble! Hellooo~ I want to play in the waves too! Isn’t it fun?

Auerosth wiggled with excitement.
Oh, yes yes! Very fun indeed, Friend!! [/color]
Roxikanta almost slid off of her bonded as his bouncing jolted her.
She gave a quick look to U'wa and a flash of smile before Auerosth shook his rider off by accident.
Silly.......dragon..
She kicked and trudged onto the land.
"Hey..."
She waved to U'wa, smiling, red hair dripping and tunic soaked.

Oh no! The big red beast really was vicious wasn't he! Look at the way he shook his rider off and made her trudge to land! U'wa paled as the girl splashed into the water. Should he run over and try to help, or would that anger the garnet? Shifting uncomfortably, U'wa finally took a step forward when the girl finally surfaced and made her way to land. Oh phew! She seemed to be alright!
"A-are you okay?" He couldn't help but call quietly, giving a tiny, shy wave of his own. He looked at her in concern, though his look changed to surprise as he realized how similar this girl looked to his sister! The thought alone made him relax for a brief moment, though it was shortlived as Peniath went barreling into the water towards the garnet. Peni!
The green dragon warbled happily. This red dragon had called her friend! He wasn't at all like the other garnets she had met! Not at all! Ooooh the water feels sooo good! I'm Peniath, Mister Red, and I want to know your name too! You will tell me, won't you? We can't be friends if you don't, you know! She splashed him, not at all caring about the danger she could be in. She was used to having a garnet snap at her right off the bat, so the idea that this one was even a tiny bit friendly had her shaking with glee.

What a fun name! I'm Auerosth. Oh? Where's mine go? [/color]
Only now did he realize His was gone. He turned in a circle.
Pity! She must not be up for fun.... [/color]
Auerosth seemed to frown a moment, but quickly regained himself.
Chortling, he splashed Peni, his eyes sparkling with greens and blues.
What a beautiful, exciting, perfect day!!
Roxikanta saw U'wa's pale face.
"Are you well, sir? You look alittle... sick..."
She almost put her hand to his forehead, but decided she'd just likely cause him to die right on the spot from fright.
But she saw how he stared at her Garnet, trying to hide her frown.
"That's Auerosth. He is good, I promise. He'd never purposefully harm anyone."

Didn’t you throw Yours off? I thought you were playing… Peniath snaked her head about to look for Auerosth’s rider, chirping in delight as she saw her near U’wa. Maybe this one would help His have some fun too! Oh oh, Mine is so shy. Yours won’t be offended will she? U’waMine really is nice, he’s just scared. Stop being scared, silly Mine! U’wa broadcasted for all to hear before squawking as she was pelted with water. Shaking herself off, she sent a splash right back at him.
“I-I’m fine Miss.” U’wa mumbled, his eyes still watching the garnet. He flinched as Auerosth splashed his green, but upon feeling the happiness from Peniath, and the words from Rox, he relaxed slightly. “I-I’m sorry… I sh-shouldn’t judge on a-apprearances.. Very rude of me…” He shuffled a bit before holding out his hand in greeting. “I’m um... U’wa…”
He finally glanced up at her, amazed again at how similar she was to Yufa. “You… you remind me of her… my sister…”

Shake her off? Not on purpose, I can assure you. [/color]
He had a dragonish grin on his face as salty water splashed him. He was perhaps 10 feet longer than the green, with clumsy paws. At time he forgot his size...
He roared playfully and pounced at Peniath, as if he imagined himself her size. But no, he was made twice her length even, and likely triple her weight!
He meant everything as a game, like tackle-tag or something... But his claws may scratch the green's hide. He made a chuckling sound, certainly not evil, but amused. Oh, this could be his new friend?
Roxikanta smiled at U'wa. "I'm Roxikanta, please call me Rox."
Auerosth sudden playfulness made the red-head bite her lip. Oh dear, please don't play rough...
"Should I take that as a compliment?"
(feel free for Auerosth to harm Peni alittle. That is kind of my plan. Only a scratch or something though. A teeny bit of blood but no scars)

It was a sudden screech of fear and pain that caused U’wa to bolt for the water, as if he could somehow make a difference in what had happened. He hadn’t seen it, he’d been too distracted with Rox to keep an eye on the garnet and Peniath, but he did know that his dragon was hurting and scared. She had splashed him in good fun, thinking he would merely splash back, but Peniath had been unprepared for the pounce. The difference in size was the problem; had he been a blue, or a green like herself it likely wouldn’t have been a problem. Alas, the garnet was huge compared to her, and when his bulk rammed into her, Peniath was forced under the water, flailing in fear and pain as claws tore her wingsail and dug into her hindquarters.
“She’s drowning! Faranth! Get him off! Peniath!!” He ran into the water, as if to push the garnet off, though that would be impossible. He was nothing more than a scared boy after all.

Auerosth was so dreadfully confused!
The green's shy rider was scrambling toward them.
He heard his little friend cry, and his whole body quivered.
I-i-i-i didn't m-m-mean to! [/color]
His eyes lost the bright sheen, fading to dull shades of sadness.
Auerosth.....
He stepped off of Peniath, giving a low mournful whin.
He seemed to shrink, crumpling into himself. His head drooped and he backed away, slowly at first, then shameful and clusmily fast.
Oh...o-o-o-oh... F-f-friend Peni.... I... I... [/color]
If a dragon could bawl surely Auerosth would have.. Oh what a horrible stupid Garnet he was!!
Roxikanta ran after U'wa.
"He didn't mean too! He was playing.. he just.. forgets his size at times..."
She chewed her lip. Shards. Now the boy thought she was a lier...

Aiiiir! Peniath finally cried as her head popped above the surface and she took a moment to take in a few deep breaths before she found herself ushered to shore by her rider. She followed, still trying to catch her breath, and shook herself off, making a pained sound as she put pressure on her leg.
“Peni! Peni are you okay?” The boy was in such a panic over his dragon that he even forgot to be shy, his stutter disappearing behind his worry. Worried he looked at the gashes on her leg, trying to test the extent of the injury. Miiiine you’re embarrassing me! I don’t want him to think I’m weak. I’m fiiine! Braymoth did much worse remember? She tried to put pressure on the leg again, whimpering slightly but otherwise staying silent. A quick glance showed that her wingsail had gotten ripped as well, but sails tended to heal easily, and the tear was barely visible.
See? It’s nothing U’waMine. Look how worried you made Auerosth’s! She chided before crooning back at Auerosth. Mine is such a worrywart! I’m a strong green, a little scratch is nothing! She hobbled back over to him, reaching out to nuzzle his side. This garnet was nothing like the other one she knew, and he seemed sorry. How could she be mad at him!
“Peni…. Oh! S-sorry Miss Roxikanta… U-um… Do you.. have any numbweed? J-just to make sure it d-doesn’t hurt…” He was more worried now… Peniath was quick to forgive. However, she had already been hurt once and he didn’t want her to get even more injured.. but it would be rude to run away wouldn’t it?

Auerosth still looked upset.
I...i was only going to play... but...but I squished you! It is hard to find playmates who are my size... All of the other ranks are grumpy or mean... but you are friendly. Yes, pretty, friendly green Peni! [/color]
Very gingerly the red dragon nosed her back, sniffing worriedly at the rip and cut he'd made.
"...I don't have any with me... I'm fairly sure the scratches are not deep. Have your green wash them with the sea water, that should help."

Peniath squeaked as Auerosth’s nose pressed near the cut on her flank. Ow! It’s so tender. Mine, don’t you have numbweed? The green jumped away from Auerosth, not out of fear but simply surprise at the light bit of pain his gesture had caused. She did, however, reach out to nuzzle him again. Oh oh, maybe I’ll get bigger! Then you wouldn’t need to worry right? Oh Mine! I want to be big and strong like Aeurosth! She really was such an innocent dragon.
“S-sorry Peni… the numbweed is back at camp… we c-can head back to get it…” The green gave a snort and a shake of her head. She was tough! She could handle a little scratch! “R-rest in the water then… not too deep!” He fretted, worried that the garnet would step on her again. He glanced back at Rox sheepishly.
“S-sorry… I.. I g-guess I overreacted… sh-she seems fine…”
