It was a nice day in the gather, even though it was winter it was still outdoors and thriving. Linda was having fun at the gather, and helping out where she could with the Healing stuff even if it was just getting supplies. However the best thing was she was at a Weyr, with tons of dragons around that she could at least watch from afar. She wasn't alone either, Hana her gold fire lizard was on top of her right shoulder. Rorce her garnet fire lizard was on her left shoulder as he tried to be higher up on Linda's body then even the gold. Cad the brown was curled up in one of Linda's many pockets as he slept silently and soundly. Jo and Jak, her two blues, were just clinging to the outside of her leggings as they chittered back and forth about about something or other. While Renae her last and certainly not least, green, chittered softly from inside Linda's hair as she stared out nervously at everyone that was around.
Linda smiled as she glanced over her body at her little ones that were clinging to her own body. "It is alright you guys, This is a Weyr, everyone is nice to guys like you as long as you are nice back okay. So no attacking anyone or acting too strangely okay. You guys have been good so far mostly sunning right? Then you don't have to change what you have been doing already okay. Besides we will be heading back to the hold anyways." She couldn't help but say it with a sad tone in her voice, which of course each one caught on. Even Cad noticed and roused from his sleep to join in the gentle crooning towards Linda, who just gave a little giggle as she stopped walking to pet each and every one of them. "Its okay guys, I just wish I didn't have to leave you know.... you know my siblings and all but its okay. I have you lot and the new egg that has a Huntyre too...." Linda gently held up the egg she had in one of her pouches that she kept filled with warm sand surrounding the egg... Gently holding it to make sure she would open it whenever it hatched.

Akira sighed as she walked around just outside of the gather’s main activities. She was waiting to be called for the Graduation Feast that would signal her and her dragon’s ascension into a full dragon and rider pair. That’s when she felt her dragon stiffen slightly as he walked beside her. What is it Oridith? She had never seen her blue act like this before, and even her blue firelizard was curious as to the larger blue’s actions. I...I feel something Kikimine. Oridith’s voice sounded far away, even to him. This made the young woman more than a little nervous and Blue even chirped curiously at the two turn old dragon; he sitting on His’ shoulder and looked around curiously to see what Oridith was talking about and what had His so on edge.
Oridith crooned softly to his rider as he carefully started walking to whatever was causing that strange feeling inside of him. He stopped a few dragon sized steps away from the girl and lowered his head to sniff her. Akira showed up shortly after that, and looked curiously from her dragon to the girl and back again. What is it Oridith? What’s so intriguing about this girl? She didn’t get an immediate answer from her dragon but when she got the feeling of something familiar from her dragon she had an idea what her dragon was up to. What’s your name? Her voice was gentler than normal, but still held no emotion except for the curiosity that showed in her facial features as well. She had never Searched someone before, and wasn’t exactly sure about what she was supposed to do.
((OOC: I am sorry if this isn't very good, it is my first time searching someone.))

The Gather was in full swing. There was still the chill of winter in the air, but with the crowds of people so thick it barely mattered. Sitting on an overturned bucket, Nadia slurped on a bowl of stew, while her dragon looked on. Could you please try and hold yourself with a bit more dignity? The Ebony dragon asked cooly, his tail-tip twitching slightly. Nadia abandoned her spoon in response and began gulping the soup straight from the bowl. "Nonsense," she told her dragon. "Who needs to be dignified?" She finished off the soup and tossed the bowl onto an empty table, and stood up stretching.
She was dressed plainly, in a black tunic with a gray undershirt, and black fingerless gloves to keep her hands warm against the winter's cold. Sturdy boots protected her feet, and a dagger hung at her belt. Traditionally, women wore dresses to a Gather, so as to partake in the dancing... but Nadia was no "traditional" woman... and her dragon wasn't all that "traditional" either.
Stepping out into the crowd, her hands behind her back, Nadia made her way through the Gather, pausing every now and then to look at a stall. She considered buying a shiny new dagger at one, but Lonanth pointed out that nothing was wrong with her old one, so she moved on. As time wore on, she bought two bubbly pies. As she was paying, Lonanth caught her attention. Mine. He said slowly. Come quickly. Nadia, intrigued in spite of herself, hurried off with her bubbly pies, eating one rapidly as she went. After all, they were better hot!
When she found the Ebony, he was standing across from a Blue dragon, and his female rider. There was a girl between them, ringed with a fair of fire-lizards. Recognition hit Nadia like a brick. Lonanth and the Blue must think this girl worthy of Candidacy! The Blue's rider asked the girl's name, and Nadia watched impassively. NadiaMine! Do not let that Blue Search her! He is not even graduated yet! They are still Weyrlings, not Wingriders! Nadia blinked in surprise. Her dragon was rarely forceful, and had a distaste for violence. She stepped forward. "Yes, please. What is your name? You see, my dragon would like to know. He thinks you might have a certain something we're looking for." |

Hana softly chirped into Linda's ear as she noticed a Dragon approach, with apparently rider in tow. The young healer woman however just blinked a few times as the Dragon just started to sniff at her. A soft look and smile crossed her face but a swift and sharp whistle escaped her mouth... Rorce the Garnet had started to get free and flap his wings but at the whistle just hunkered down and gave a light little snort in protest. Linda gave Rorce a look that said behave as she reinforced it with her own feelings before turning to the blue dragon and his female rider with a smile again. Hana chirruped a soft hello which was echoed with the others. But however before Linda could speak up to answer to the question concerning her name.... Another couple showed up.
Her green eyes glanced over to the Ebony who was also followed by his female rider after a soft chirp from Ranae got her attention. Now Linda was thoroughly confused, soft and distant wisps of memories from her siblings time around dragons tugged at her consciousness. But no if she was search material she would have been found before now right? So whatever thoughts about it that still tugged at her before she pushed aside to listen to this Ebony rider as well. "Um.... I hope everything is alright... my name is Linda Mayno.... and about what your dragon might want of me... I Have six fire lizards kind of well trained, a Huntyre egg, and an apprentice healer.... maybe it is one of those? But I would prefer to keep the egg please... I got it from the gather..." Linda spoke softly, her breathing balanced and even as she retreated into herself when dealing with the two humans. She didn't have much against them, they did have dragons and a fire lizard with them. But she still didn't want to do anything to make them hate her at least so she had to be careful and collected...

Oridith looked away from the young human just long enough to watch an ebony dragon come towards them. Akira had noticed them as well and rolled her yes. This really wasn’t her idea of fun. My name is Akira, and this is Oridith. He thinks you would make a good candidate, and don’t worry about the egg or your flitters. I’ve had Blue here since before I impressed so I’m sure the dragons won’t mind them too much as long as they mind their manners. Akira glanced sideways at the other rider, completely aware of the fact that she might have done something she shouldn’t have by telling this girl that she had been searched. Maybe they wouldn’t get in trouble but oh well, the cat was already out of the bag and she couldn’t take back what she had said. But she didn’t actually feel bad about what she had done, she actually felt proud of it.
(((OOC: I’m really sorry it’s so short, I’ll have better replies when I feel a little better. x.x)))
