R'nyx and Wynoith's weyr

The first thing you notice as you walk into the next weyr is the smell. It has a spicey scent, as if someone has been cooking recently. You walk past the empty and worn stone couch and furthur down the hall. You encounter the living chamber, which is closed off from the hallway by a long curtain of beads. 'Another Miri?' You think to yourself.

But this is no Miri, you notice that as soon as you step through the beads. The walls are dashed in color, but underneath you see a smooth pearlish color. A boy spins around as he sees you, eyeing you cautiously before nodding his head. And this boy... is no normal boy. His body is covered in an odd tatoo. It resembles Terran henna in color and style, but it is in the form of netter seaweed that leaves his hands, face, and neck the only things untouched. His appearance gets even odder though. His hair is a very thin curl of pure white hair, but his black eyes go well his dark cinnamon colored skin.

"What do you want?" When you explain that you are simpley visiting the Weyrfolk, his expression doesn't change but he does offer you a chair. Wiping his hands free from paint, you realize he was standing in front of an easel. A half finished work of a young woman still sits there. "My name is R'nyx. I'm a Bluerider at Asura Weyr. His name is Wynoith." The blue in question lands outside, and the curtain of beads rustles slightly.

When he notices your curious look he sighs. "You want to hear about me I guess? I was part of a trading caravan until a large blue dragon like Wynoith practically landed in the middle of us. He was looking for my sister, Rixae. He wanted to Search her. I wasn't about to let her leave me there, so I came with her." You inquire why he didn't stay with the caravan and he eyes you again. "No permanent shelter, little food, moving every day, sleeping outside... must sound like paradise until you've actually lived it."

You now notice how guant he is. Feeling rather regretful for bringing such sarcasm from him, you decide to move onto another subject. His dragon is very beautiful, was he hoping for a bronze or the blue? "A bronze?!" He bursts out laughing, a deep melodic sound despite the way his sentence dripped with incredulity. "Not me. I don't think I'd be able to stand one of them. To high-and-mighty for a traders boy like me. You might as well offer the ranking of drudge to a Lord's son and see how well he likes the idea." He is still being sarcastic, but at least now he is grinning at you. "No, I wouldn't have any other dragon but Wynoith."

You can't think of anything else to say, so you look around the room. You don't see many dragons supplies, only a bit of oil and such sitting on a table by the wall.

You are even more surprised at the sight eating from the bowl of meat on the table. The Queen firelizard regards you for a moment before going back to eating. You look at R'nyx in surprise and he is grinning wryly at the little creature. "She attacked me when we got here. Apparently one of the Candidates was having a Hatching that day. I walked by his weyr on the way to mine and *thunk*..." You grin at his sound effects. "She hit me right in the face, had claw marks on my cheek for a week. I named her Sunring, aka Loopie." Despite his words he gazes at her fondly. "I'm also the new Weyr Artist, so I've been doing quite a few paintings lately."

R'nyx now looks over at you expectantly. When he clears his throat and darts his black eyes towards the curtain you finally understand. "Well R'nyx, it's been a... pleasure... meeting you."
At your pause he laughs again, a very nice sound despite his rough demeanor. "Well, when Wyn flies a dazzling green you be sure to stop in and visit me and my handsome devil. Rixae believes he'll be able to make me softer someday." Rolling his eyes, he practically pushes you out of the curtain. Walking back by the stone couch you can't help but grin. 'May Faranth help poor Wynoith make him softer..' Then, with a backwards glance as you walk out of the weyr, you silently wish the luck.

The blue dragon watches you as you go, tilting his head to one side. {{Thank you. I'll try.}}
