Hands running down Saleths sleek skin, Bl'th hums a little tune as her hands slip into the sack strapped onto Saleths back, pulling out a long and skinned tunnel snake she had found the night before when she was on watch.  Throwing it up in the air she backs up with a hop and watches as Saleth rears up on his hind legs, mouth opening, teeth gleaming in the light of early morning, and snaps closed around the limp meaty treat.<br/><br/><em>I'm glad you like it Sale my love.</em><br/>Her voiced hummed with delight, something about watching her brown eat made her almost giddy.<br/><br/><em>It was a tasty snack, but far from filling such a stomach as mine!</em><br/>She could feel the pride radiating off of him and laughed out loud.<br/><br/><em>Well don't eat too much or we will be too heavy to fly!</em><br/><br/>Snorting in what he wanted her to perceive as indignity he pushed her out of the way with his snout and spreading his wings out he pushed himself up and flew off.<br/><em>I'm going to hunt for something bigger to eat, why don't you go and get some food yourself. I know you haven't filled your belly since early last eve, and I want you at full energy my own.</em><br/><br/>Laughing Bl'th took long strides towards the Great Hall, her arms swinging slightly at her sides.  Saleth was right she was hungry, her stomach making rumbling noises as she smelled the rich scent of savory meats and sticky sweet buns.  And although she was tired she was still full of so much energy, too much energy.<br/><br/>But as she saw it, a lot of energy was a good thing; it meant that she would have the energy for more practice today. Smiling she hummed a little tune, something that reminded her of the teaching songs they made her memorize as a child.  Her boots hitting the ground, keeping beat with the tune in her head she made it over to the food tables and piled her plate high with anything that looked in the least appealing to her.  Snatching a drinking cup and filling it with steaming Klah like everyone else was doing she dumped everything onto the nearest table and plopped down onto her seat ungracefully.<br/><br/>Chewing she looks over the faces of those sitting near her, trying to remember names that should have come easy to her but didn't.  There was Sari, moving away to what she guessed was her friends table.  She recognized some of her wing mates, half asleep in their plates, a few other riders as well, of course there was the WeyrWoman eating steadily but not hurriedly.  And than there was the new WingLeader of the Tacit Wing seated to her left.<br/><em><br/>Now there is an interesting fellow...</em><br/><br/><em>Who's interesting?</em><br/>Saleth inquired.<br/><br/><em>The new WingLeader of Tacit.  I think his name is A'drew or something like that.</em><br/><br/><em>Oh him...He's Zeranths.  Big dragon, not someone to mess with my own.</em><br/><em><br/>I wasn't going to mess with him.  He doesn't look like the kind that would suffer my presence for that long...</em><br/><br/><em>Hmmmph, he's not, so don't.</em><br/><br/>And like that it was settled, at least in saleths mind.  He loved his human, but she was still a hatchling, and with such a young age came a young attitude.  Not for the first time did he wonder if she would grow out of it.  He wasn't worried, he loved her anyway.  He went back to picking at the carcass of a wild running beast, his long tongue sliding out to pick at a piece of meat that was stuck in between hist sharp front teeth.<br/><br/>Going back to her meal she was half way through it when T'den took a seat next to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, almost startling her into dropping her utensil...almost.  He was a young rider like herself, but he was also lazy when it came to his night duties...not that he had them often.<br/><br/>"Bl'th why don't you take over my watch tonight?  I'm so tired and I know you can handle it."<br/><br/>She debated ending her meal than and going out to escape his presence but her stomach wasn't full yet, and she hadn't even scratched the surface of her hunger.  So glancing sideways at the greenrider, she shrugs out from under his embrace and returns to her meal.<br/><br/>"I would, but I just got off duty myself, and I have wing practice all the rest of the day, so as it is I won't be sleeping until much later.  I'm sorry but no, find somebody else.  Maybe K'ar would do it, his green is getting ready to rise soon, so he's been on edge and is looking for any reason to stay awake."<br/><br/>A tinge of pink stained her cheeks, reminding her that soon she would be participating in her first mating flight.  Being mindful to push it out of her mind she went back to eating, practicing flight maneuvers in her mind.  Completely ignoring the retreating greenrider who had left the moment she had mentioned K'ars name.<br/><br/><em>His dragon is lazy to...</em><br/><br/>She chuckled as she brought her fork to her mouth.  Saleth didn't like lazy beings, especially when it was a trait in another dragon, whom he felt should be above such things.<br/><br/><br/>
