"Do you need something?"

You spin around to see a young woman standing in front of you. Her blonde hair falls around her shoulders. She stares at you through a pair of hazel eyes. She has her hands on her hips, and a set look on her face. Her hawk-like features look at you as if she's expecting something.

Suddenly, a smile breaks out on her onto her thin lips. "You must be a guest." She says it as a fact, laughing slightly. "Come with me, I'll give you the 'grand tour'." She motions with one hand for you to follow her and steps behind a curtain of beads. They are made of small jade carvings of fish with what looks like light pink pearls.

Almost as soon as you step into the room the first thing you spy is a small brown firelizard sitting on a table. He tilts his head to the side, chirping at you quizically. "It's alright, Daenar. They're company here at the Weyr."

He trills slightly before darting off into the adjoining room. The girl offers you a seat at the table, clearing away the clusters of things. You notice meat and oil among many other things.

"Sorry for the mess. Daenar is a lot to keep up with, but not as much as Ceasoth is!" She smiles behind you, and you turn around to see a large green dragon looking down at you. "Isn't she a beauty?" Miri says, though even she can see your wide eyes. She dragon croons to you, bending down her head. You scratch her eye-ridges and she croons even more.

Miri hands you a meatroll, then takes a seat across from you. "I might as well tell you a bit about myself, I guess."

"My name is Miri. I'm the daughter of two Dolphineers at Bay Hold. It's a little minor Hold outside of Asura Hold. Anyway, I came to the Weyr to get a change of life. When I was thirteen I started to Apprentice as a Dolphineer. My only problem? I get terribley sea sick on boats and rafts. Needless to say, my parents weren't to happy with this development. I figured that the only other way to make a good name for myself was to come to the Weyr and try to Impress. Weyrwoman Kayan was reluctant at first because I wasn't exactly the best example for a Candidate." Miri smiled slightly. "Maybe she was afraid I'd be air sick, also. But that doesn't matter now, because I have Cea now and it's not something I can back on." She smiles at the tiny green fondly.

"Now, here I am. It's not much. But it's home." She glanced around her humble weyr. It was kept fairly clean, with hangings of the ocean on nearly every wall. Small carved fish swam the walls above her bed. Daenar fluttered in, landing neatly on the soft fur blankets.

"I know it's not the most impressive story, but it's my humble beginning. Now I'm flying in a fighting wing and taking care of Daenar that is. And teaching the Dragonriders how to swim. Did you know Kayan can't swim? I thought it was comical, but don't tell her I said that. She'd skin me alive." Miri winked, her arms crossed and resting on the table in front of her.

"Well... let's see here. What else can I tell you." She bit her tan lower lip, her eyes a bright green in the dimlight of the weyr. "Well, the way I Impressed Daenar was rather interesting. If you'd like to hear about it, I can tell you about it. Mother wrote it down so I'd never forget." She grimaced slightly, a wry grin on her face.

She stood up, straightening her tunic. It fell loosely over her tight black pants and brown riding boots. "There's not much more about me I can tell you. I'm sure you have other places to go, so I'll let you take your leave before I bore you /between/ Please come back and visit me and Ceasoth every once in a while."

"Have fun around the Weyr! Don't fall into the Weyr Lake now, I'd hate to have to come rescue you." With a sly wink she disappears behind the hanging curtain of beads, and you can hear her giggling as she talks to the little green.
