thunk!! no I didn't do it....(Wish/Ara)

Finally, Linda was able to get out of the Weyr for a little bit. With that one Handler with the two Whers about and apparently not leaving her alone to train to get rid of her frustrations. If she didn't do something soon she was going to fly off the handle and really hurt somebody.. A nice walk though out by the river would probably help her with her patience and frustrations. Hana of course was on her right shoulder, she chirped softly and glanced around. Rorce also was on Linda's shoulder, but her left one for his own perch as he sat there and preened a bit. Though the garnet kept an eye open for anything that would attack, he was starting to get bored with such a peaceful lifestyle.

A few whistles and images sent out from Linda, for the others Cad, Jo, Jak, and renae... They were flying out scouting the area nearby to keep an eye out for anything that might attack. Every now and then they sent images back to Linda, especially when they came back to rest or to check up on Linda. Though these six weren't the only ones out with the young woman, two newly hatched Huntyres each in their own pocket in her shirt. One an albino forest named Felli, the other a lunar named Klarce who were fast asleep. It was their nap time but Linda still kept them with her with a little smile. She loved them, and the rest... they were more then just pets, more then partners in offensive and defensive tactics... they were her family now. Much like those Dolphins too, whom she had to leave behind but they were still connected by the memories together.

Yes this is what she needed, she felt the tightening in her body ease while the rest of her relaxed. Hopefully that one handler wouldn't show up and ruin things... Linda would just run him through without a moments notice if he did more then likely. Why that male human wanted to irk her time and time again she didn't know why. Maybe he knew her parents and trying to make her attack so he could try to kill her? The though actually made her laugh, yeah like he would do something like that because of her parents when he had whers.

It had been hard, very hard lately. Ara had tried to keep some room for the Topazrider to call his own, knowing better than to push him to talk. After all, her little exclamation a sevenday or there about ago was definitely a lot to take in. However, it wasn't doing her any good. In the mean time the Greenrider was feeling entirely helpless. No doubt they would choose a new Weyrlingassistant now for Kayath and Izanycorth's clutches, and she didn't think that she had even contacted anyone interested in joining the rebel cause in at least a month.

Which meant that either their resources here were drying up, or she was losing her touch. Part of her hoped it was the first, at least that meant that maybe Pern could move on from all of this. Except there had been no return of the two Trelis born Sub-Queens, so Ara knew they couldn't entirely be out of the picture. You need to remember why you were so strong with them. It always helps, go to the forest. I will meet you there after I kill something. The Green crooned with a devious little purr as she set about finding her own meal.

The thought however had Ara quickly seeking the bathroom and hovering over the nearest thing she could throw up in. A hand slid down to her stomach, cursing the life inside her for a moment. Alright you, we need to have a nice long chit-chat....or at least show you that I'm boss. No more random sickness....please? As if the unborn child could hear her though, and in the slight chance that by some sense it could understand her intent, she was bending over once again losing that morning's meal.

Almost a candlemark later Ara was trecking through the forest, muttering angrily to herself. "Alright, that's it. I'm getting a hold of myself!" Pulling the bow from around her and knocking an arrow to the string she breathed, closing her eyes. There was nothing but the pull of the string, the feel of a wherry feather between her fingers as she drew it against her lip. Then there was the thwang of the bow letting lose and the comforting thwack as it hit the tree dead center. Finally Alyara let out the breath she didn't know she had been holding and opened her eyes again. Well, that makes me feel better.

Her three flits chittered nearby from their perches at another tree; the newest a little green she had named Stella had been a "congratulations" present from Aerinne. At least she loved the little thing.

Renae was the one that heard the other person in the area, her fire lizards along with the odd noise into a tree. Her green hide flashed as she turned around and betweened, only to show up right next to Linda as she chattered hurriedly. Linda blinked a few times as she listened to the unintelligible garble, but smiled a little bit as the images flashed through her head. Seemed another person was here, she didn't know if they were friend or foe but Renae didn't seem too phased by it. Gently Linda reached up to scratch Renae's eyeridges before she sent her off for more scouting. Hana chirped softly on Linda's shoulder as the young woman started to slowly head towards Ara.

Linda got closer and closer, as silently as she could through the unfamiliar landscape. Her fair were close but not too close as they kept an eye out. Linda blinked a few times however as she saw the person, and it was one of those she had seen at the Weyr Recently.... So maybe not a foe? "Hello" It was a simple greeting, as Linda started to come out from the trees and bushes slowly. Even if she saw this person at the Weyr she still didn't really trust anyone and she wasn't about to start now...

Aries was the first one to realize there was someone else around, and then Stella and Bayi followed suit. "What is it?" Holding the bow toward the ground the Greenrider looked around at her surroundings, shrugging when no one came out right away. Avirith was still dozing lightly, her sides falling and rising with each rumbling breath she took. It would be insane for someone to sneak up on her with a dragon nearby, it was just unthinkable. Not that Ara believed herself on that very much. However, someone did end up popping in on her and she stared at the girl with the firelizard...firelizards?

How many did that girl have exactly? Her own trio chittered as they landed on her in different places, Aries on her back, Bayi on her head and Stella settling for her arm that was holding onto the bow. "Hello...don't worry, I won't use this one you. It's the trees that I'm targeting." She turned around and aimed again, shaking off the firelizards into the air and letting the arrow go so that it hit the tree and quivered where it stuck. "See?" She looked again from the tree to the girl and back again.

Mine has no manners apparently. I'm Avirith, that is AraMine. The green chortled as the greenrider gritted her teeth and rolled her own faceted eyes in response. She's come here to get some....stress relief. Her tail flicked back and forth lightly as she talked, crooning gently as Ara sighed and put a hand on her middle before dropping it just as quickly. Leave her/him out of this Avi. For once I just want to be me and not deal with this....thinking of that just ends up making me think of him too.

Well at least Linda didn't get herself shot, the woman had good reflexes she had to admit and her own fire lizards to scout about. Why was it she kept running into people who used far ranging fighting instead of close? Was it some kind of fad or what the island was secretly known for? It didn't really matter to her much as she came out from behind the tree. The young candidate didn't have to worry about getting killed now at least. Hana and Rorce gave their greetings from her shoulders where they now were. While Cad, Jo, Jak, and Renae landed on a nearby branch. Heads twisted about to keep an eye on everywhere.

"Nah not worried, just didn't want to surprise you so much you attack first ask questions later is all." But soon Avrith's voice fluttered through her head and she couldn't help but grin. So this person was a rider, that was actually good to know as she felt privileged to be spoken to. "Ah if I am interrupting then I can go if you want. Was just scouting out the area, new candidate and all wanting to know the island. But if you want I know a few things for stress too if you want em." After she spoke Linda started to rifle through her pouches, now where was that one thing... They were close to water so she could probably put the relaxing herbs and boil it to make a nice soothing drink.
