Reflecting

[Fyre]

Aisata, though it was unusual for her to do, was curled up on her cot, simply looking off into nowhere. It was late in the day, and she had no more work to do around the weyr. Instead, she simply chose to relax, lost in her own thoughts. There were noises of other candidates in the Barracks, but not so loud that it was bothering her. Somewhere, there was a feline mewing, and farther away there were sounds of more people, just noise in the background.

Sitting up, she tilted her head back, sighing deeply. There was a tune in her head, which she started to hum lightly. It was a simple Harper taught tune, but Aisata liked the sound of it, the way it was so familiar to all really. With a quick glance around, and after not spotting anyone around, Aisata quietly began to sing. Her voice was hardly the most beautiful in all of Pern. She lacked proper tone and real training, and even with that she would not be a wonderful singer.

"Greed will bring the Weyr distress." How true these words were, though really, she didn't think it applied to this Weyr. Greed was not the problem here as far as she knew. "To the ancient laws adhere." More true words, to honor tradition, though with the appearance of dragons that were so unusual it was harder to cling to such ways. "Prospers thus the Dragonweyr." Akum needed to prosper... it truly did.

There a small flutter of activity that seemed to fly around a single spot that sat in the cornor. A bronze, brown, blue and green flit seemed to fly around a area where there seemed to be someone sitting in the dark cornor of the common room of the candidate barracks. Two eyes seemed to stare out and just wacth everything that passed by. The flit's that flew aroudn where like an extinstion of this presnace. That reached out and greeted those who came in without even saying anything. Andol just sat back and wacthed becuase that is what he liked to do. Of course Sapphire soon became bored and flew off.......

It was not long thoguh before he found somthing that instersted him and flew into the room inwhich Aisata was singing. Yet it was not the singing girl that was intersting... no it was the woodchip that was sticking off of her bed that he wanted of course he did send the image of the singing girl to his pet, just incase Andol wanted to come and see what she was up to. Yet in the mean time he was trying to pull it off the bed post and was having no luck which only made the blue sqawk in complete annoyance.

Andol laughed a little at the trouble that his little friend was getting into. The young man stood up and brushed his pants off a bit before he began to walk in the direciton of the humming which he could now hear as he got closer and closer. He stopped for a moment though right outside the door to just lisitin and take it in. It was not the quailty of it that really spoke to him... it was simply the unashamed nature in which it was being done. It was obvious the other didn't care what anyone thought and was just enjoying what they where doing..... now that was somthing he could respect, even if he found the singing silly.

He knocked on the side of the door for a moment and waited to be invited in after saying, "Hello...." His voice seemed a little hesitant. Though his bronze, brown, and green flit where not that way as they all flew into the room to land on the bed with the girl.

Virian stretched her arms far over her head, a rather uncharacteristic yawn escaping her wide open mouth as she entered the girls side of the barracks. For the spilt second her eyes were forced closed by the yawn she bumped into a boy standing in the door way. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I closed my eyes for just a moment and I didn't see you there." She instantly poised herself as she did before most everyone but the other girls in the candidates barracks.

When she wasn't about to go to sleep or in the comfort of the barracks she held herself with proper posture and formality. But in the confines of the girls barracks when she was exhausted and ready to relax, she let that guard down a bit. Seeing as she had just run into the boy, she figured she at the least owed him her name, "I'm Virian, I don't usually bump into people like that. Long day so far is all, you know?"

Suddenly surprised by the appearance of the blue firelizard, Aisata paused in her song, watching as the creature tried to take a chip off her bed. It made her smile and chuckle a bit before restarting her song. She did like the little creatures, and if she had anything to offer the blue in the way of a treat, Aisata would have given it to him. As it was though, she did not. It would have been nice for her to have one of her own, but that just had not happened yet, so there was no use getting bothered about that.

This continued for another few minutes, her watching the blue firelizard and singing, while the blue tried to take the chip of wood. Then there was a knock to her doorway, and a hesitated greeting of "Hello..." The next moment, she was surrounded by firelizards who were more than happy to make themselves at home. This just made her laugh, turning to smile at the person in that stood in her doorway. "Hello! Are all these yours, they are lovely." she said, standing up to be on the same level as the guy in her doorway. "You can come in if you like, I'm Aisata."

She might have said more, but at that point another girl entered into the view of her doorway. She heard the other girl introduce herself as Virian, and she felt her lip twitch into a half smile. Aisata didn't know her well, but what better chance to meet two of her fellow candidates. "Please, you can both come in if you like. I don't think we know each other very well."

He smiled for a moment a he looked at the girl and the antics of his fair around her. Though he noticed Sapphire and before saying anything to his fellow candidate he said to the blue flit, "Now stop tearing up her bed Sapphire.... I don't think she gave you premission to do so... here have this." He then took a sixth mark out of his pocket and tossed it across the room where it landed on the floor. The blue was very quick to pick it up and then bettewen. Only to reapper moments later and give the mark back to his pet acting as though he had just found it. The little guy sat on his bonded's should with his chest puffed out... obviously proud of himself.

He laughed at his little friend for a moment before he turned and looked over at the other candidate, "Hello there Aisata... you can call me And....." Yet his sentance was intruppted when he felt someone bump into the back of him. This caused the young man to suddenly freeze up espcially when heard that it was female voice he visably shuddered in dislike.... he had nothing against females... they could be some of the nicest and best to go to when you had somthing to talk to about. It was simply that he had not had time to prepare for her touching him. Normally if he had a second of mental preparation he would not shudder... though in that case he probably wouldn't even allow it.

It took him a few moments to collect himself and then step out of the door way so that he was against the wall on the inside of the door. He looked around the cornor at Virian and said softly, "Sorry about that... you just supirsed me was all... it is ok though I can understand. My name is Andol.. it is nice to meet you..." He paused for a moment before he spoke to both of ladies saying, "Both." He then had eight sets of eyes turn and look in his direction at that moment and he realized that he was not exactlly done with the introductions at the moment.

"Oh and I almost forgot.... The bronze over there is Topaz.... the brown over there is Iron.... The blue over here is Sapphire.... The lovely green over there is Leaf... They are basically my little family." Each firelizard chirped as it's names was given and then gave a group chrip once the word 'family' had left the young man's lips. He smiled as all the firelizards flew back to him... and found a place to cling to his body and nuzzle there head into it. The blue and brown on his shoulders where nuzzling his cheeks and the bronze on his chest was nuzzling just that.... while Leaf nuzzled her snout into Andol's thick hair.
