The entrance before you is large, with a spacious dragon cavern beyond. There are glow baskets set up in the darkest corners, and the cavern itself looks almost as bright as that of the open Weyr Bowl behind you. The living cavern opens from the center of the cavern, and it isn't closed off by the customary curtain. A dragon is looking into it, but the brown turns around when it hears you walk into its cavern. It sniffs at you, then takes a step back from the doorway and nudges you with his head.
{Go on. He won't hurt you. Promise.} You could swear the brown winked at you, so you walk into the cavern only to be greeted by some rather odd words.
"By the egg of Faranth! That sharding hurt!" You stop in the doorway, watching the sight in front of you. A comically tall young man is sitting in the middle of the room. He's holding his hand in his other, a pained look on his lanky face. He looks up at you, shaking brown hair away from grey eyes in the process.
"Oh... s'rry. Come in." He signals you to step in with a jerk of his head, then clambers up and sits on the bed he had been trying to move. He sticks his index finger of his right hand in his mouth for a moment, then pulls it out and looks at it. "I don't see why they made this stup'd thing so sharding heavy." He stares at his fingers for a moment and then finally looks over at you.
"Why hello there. My name's Z'rinthe. From what Dreguth says, you've already been here for a while." He grins lopsidedly at you, a comical look for a man who looks more like he should be out of a painting by an imagination yet slightly odd young artist.
"Ever been to Jerdan Weyr?" His question catches you off guard as he stand up from the bed and walks over to you. You answer with a negative, looking up and realizing just how tall he really is now that he's standing next to you. "That's where I Impr'ssed Dreg." He pulls out a chair with his left hand, motioning for you to sit down.
"Da came all the way from Fairviews to see it." He grins at your blank look. "It's a little cothold outside of Asura Hold. Zurik is my father's name, he's fairly hidebound. Didn't like the idea of his oldest son going off to become a dragonrider when there were crops to raise." He grinned even broader before making his next statement. "Insists that they scare the herdbeasts to much."
He made his way to the other side of the small table and sat down. He had to keep himself angled sideways, and you could see his boney knees sat well above the edge of the table. "He got over it right quick though. Wynoith's little rider wouldn't here another word, the bluerider has some sharding guts, I'll say that much for 'em. Rikan was happy I was going, though. Now he gets the cothold. And I wish him luck with it." Zur grinned, shaking his head.
"Yep, now it's a dragonriders life for me. Though no one could ever have doubted it. What dragon wouldn't want me?" He grinned again, an odd expression you were beginning to get used to. "Now it's just me, Dreguth, and m'flits." He puts his fingers to his lips and a high-pitched whistle pierces the air. Two flits, a green and a blue appear of the table and screech in alarm. Z'rinthe's chuckle calms them down, and they land next to each other. "That's Drake and that's Rush, blue and green respectively."
The respect lasts only moments though as Rush nips at Drake, who must have been standing a bit too close for her taste. The two launch into the air and disappear again out of the doorway in a flurry of a game of follow-the-leader. "Well!" He stands up, smacking his hands on the table. He winces, shaking his right hand slightly. "Sorry, but I need to get back to the search."
At your odd look he grins, but this time it's more of a slightly guilty look. "I'm missing m'shoulder-knots. Need to have 'em for wing practices in two candlemarks or I'll be skinned like a sharding herbeast." He put his left hand to your back and escorts you out the door, then turns and disappears into the room.
