Dalrian couldnt help the happy elation he felt with Ellitra in his arms. No matter that they were together for a time every single day. That's one of the ways he knew he loved her. When she leaned in he gave her a smile and lifted her against him, kissing her more thouroughly than he would have usually done in public, but less than he really WANTED to.

Reluctantly he let her slide back to the ground and when ellitra didnt aknowledge her, hisame decided to take action. Flying onto Her's shoulder, she slid down his arm , propped her forepaws on Eliitra's shoulder and stared at her. The power of her stare was undeniable.

Dal stayed silent through bella's teasing. His eyes flicked to Ara for her reaction, but he shouldnt have even looked. behind his back, he heard a voice he'd avoided for a long time. Iirla. His arm tightened almost imperceptibly around Eliitra, and he turned.

"Come on Iirla. " His voice was quiet. " We need some fun every now and then. Some of us dont ever get the chance any more and his antics provide some distraction anyway..."

[Wish]

The fact that J'dol was still teasing her was nice, and Ara let her body lean into his contently despite the situation. Things had been going well between them, and at the mention of testing the pillow she couldn't help but smirk. "Oh that sounds perfect." She whispered into his hear, kissing his neck with the softest and briefest of touches before moving away a small bit. There was something bugging her, something was off. Eiko should have been back by now and yet....oh Faranth no! No she did not just do that!

Ara stared at the girl who so easily stepped forward and kissed J'dol, and the jealous lick that ran hot through her blood was a feeling entirely unknown to Alyara. For a moment she couldn't breath, but she forced herself to. There was no way she would just make a fool out of herself. That wasn't happening. Flicking her eyes to where Iirla's form was as the Weyrwoman drew the greenrider's attention away however, the girl's body was forced to forget at least temporarily the intruder.

"Yes well, we are talking about J'dol." The greenrider sighed and shook her head, getting up and moving down the steps to the ground. With her shoulders tensed, Ara started to walk away, and then stopped. "I'm needed at the Dance Floor, but if you want to find me Weyrlord, you know how." Her voice held a darker, sultry tone purring almost as she flipped her hair and coolly turned to Bellatora. "Oh, and Bellatora, do you know how to shoot? If so you should come to the Range they have set up for marks here. We can see who's the better shot, you or me."

With that the greenrider left as easily as she had arrived.

J'dol let out a content sigh at the brush of lips against his neck, shivering slightly despite himself. Damn that women for abusing his weak spot! He couldn't help but lick his lips as she started backing away. He knew she could be quite the flirt when she wanted to be, but jealous was something he hadn't entirely expected. Well, he hadn't expected her to be jealous of a kiss at his kissing booth.

He smirked into the kiss, opening his eyes only wide enough to give Ara a saucy check this out, someone's kissing your man' look. "I'd say that's pretty good," He grinned, pocketing the money, pleased to have finally made an actual transaction. He hadn't expected Ara to act so cold about it afterwards though; wasn't she the one who had offered to go commitmentless? and after he had been so well behaved too.

"If I want to find her... ha. As if I wouldn't want to. Silly girl," He mumbled to himself, his eyes following every swaying step as she left. With a sigh he glanced cheekily at Iirla. "Oh come on Iirla, it's a Gather! Let loose and have a little fun! I'll even give you a freebie if it'll make you happy!" He knew she'd never go for it, but hopefully it would help lighten the mood a little bit. He stepped down to meet her, "I'm just trying to have a little fun Iirla... I've even been super well behaved lately."

From up on her ledge, Kayath snorted, having heard Iirla through her rider. He's a sharding fool. I can't put a stop to his idiocy. You're welcome to hit him though.

[Bellatora]

Eliitra sighed. "Dal... come on... I think things here are about to take on an entirely different tone... and we still haven't had our time just to the two of us... If not now... then I hope for later..." She didn't like this. Iirla had really hurt him... and that was bad enough. But with Kelath gone and how Kelath had been so anchored to her gold. She wanted to get him out of there right now. "Hisame... come here... I've got a treat for you..." she said to the flitter. "Now... pretty little queen... you want to help me get Dal here to be happy...?" She asked the little queen.

She smiled at those around. "I'm sorry... but it's about time I stole my Dalrian here and took him to have a little bit of fun just the two of us... After all... a certain someone did ruin it the other day." She resisted the urge to shoot a look at J'dol as she gently extracted herself from Dalrian and took his hand tightly in hers, tugging at him gently, coming closer. "Let's go, Dal..." she said, stretching so her lips were less than an inch from his, her breath warm against his.

Iirla sighed and ignored Dalrian and his little girlfriend, Eliitra. She didn't feel malice towards them. but she was feelign qutie irritable. Which might have something to do with the fact she was feeling very sick. which might also have something to do with morning sickness. She had only recently told Vl'kan she was pregnant.. but the news was not common knowledge. It had to be her second or third month... and he wsan't officially graduated yet... The news would have to wait.... For how long... well.... until Vl'kan was okay with sharing it. But there was something that everyone had best understand. She was going back to him.... the moment that Izy's flight was over.

Iirla shook her head. "J'dol... this booth really isn't good for anyone... other than you I guess... if you like making your current love interest jealous."

Bellatora looked rather pleased with herself at the moment, she was biting her lip and leaning against the booth in a somewhat seductive pose. "I don't know... I have to say that it is rather enjoyable... besides... the birthday boy does deserve a few kisses...."

Iirla turned to her. "And who might you be?"

[Jilli]

Hisame perked at the mention of a treat but then turned a bit hesitant. The flit had another image ofherself bloated and lazy . She turned away from Ellitra fully intent on ignoring her's his for the greater good. She could NOT become fat!!! Then the woman Called her a queen. She was definitely more inclined to help now. She flew up landing on dal's shoulder sending him images of them walking away from the group.

Dal thought Ellitra was right. The mood of camaraderie was about to change. It seemed to him Iirla was different. Tired and sick Looking but she still looked strong. He had only seen that on a few women, but he knew what it meant. Iirla was pregnant. As much as he used to love her, that thought didn't hurt. He smiled when Eli announced she was stealing him and gave her a quick soft kiss when she leaned close.

"that reminds me! J'dol, come by my weyr tomorrow evening. I've got your birthday present.". He smiled thinking what he had done for his friend's birthday was perfect since people were now being brought into his weyr, ara in particular. He left Eliitra for one moment, long enough to look Iirla square in the face, give j'dol ten marks and a quick kiss on the cheek, then rejoin Eli to let himself be guided away. But before he left... "oh and Iirla? Congratulations."

Alessa made it over just in time to tell dal he had no more furniture and that the order book was nearly full. She'd given the orders to shigure to wait until either there were no more order forms or the gather night was over before he betweened back to the weyr. Dal was gonna be verrrry busy.

She was completely oblivious to the tension in the group as she came up to j'dol's stall.

"what have we here j'dol?"

[Zirin]

J’dol rolled his eyes at Eliitra’s comment, but gave Dalrian a look of curiosity. “Oh boy Dal, should I be worried what that mind of yours has concocted?” He smiled warmly and gave the couple a quick wave and a promise to visit. He would have said more but now wasn’t the best time it seemed. He was sure he would see them later on.

“It’s definitely good for me,” J’dol replied to Iirla with a shrug, not really taking her critisism to heart. “And everyone is my love interest Iirla! Besides, did you see how cute she was with the expression? Makes me want to go chase her down and steal a few more kisses.” And he certainly planned on doing that later that night, perhaps more if he was lucky, but he wouldn’t dare tell Iirla that.

“Now here’s a lady with a good head on her shoulders.” He gave Bellatora an appreciate glance as she leaned against his booth. “Maybe you’d be willing to help me make up for all the kisses Iirla’s making me miss out on, hmm?” He had no doubt the words would send the Weyrwoman into a fit, and he didn’t really mind. She didn’t have to be here and could leave whenever she got too annoyed. His grin grew ten-fold as Alessa walked up, obviously oblivious to the tension of the group.

“We have a kissing booth, my dear.” He answered with a wink, motioning for her to come closer. “Maybe you want to help out the birthday boy and buy a little kiss?”
