| Irritably, Razi looked skyward, a frown on her lips. �I can�t /believe/ you enjoy this heat, Chareth,� she told her green acidly, and the pale, stocky green tossed her head. <<I spent weeks in the shell in heat worse than this, Razi, and that�s where I met you. Good things happen in the heat,>> Chareth bespoke her rider, defensively. �If good things happen in the heat, then why are we both cranky?� the girl replied, fanning her face with one long, bony hand. <<I�m not cranky, you are,>> insisted the green, and she beat her wings and peered sulkily down at her lifemate. Razi snorted. �You�re upset about something, m�dear, and I�ll thank you not to lie to me. What�s wrong, are you upset that Beridonth hasn�t talked to you this sevenday?� Chareth growled vocally and mentally, strobing thoughts making the girl wince. <<I don�t want to talk about Beridonth. I don�t like him anymore. He is slow and silly.>> Razi looked a little taken-aback. �But you�ve always loved to talk to Beridonth,� she stuttered, wondering what Ka�shan would think of this. <<Beridonth is a pest. So are my clutchmates. I don�t want to look at them anymore. Let�s go somewhere else,>> flashed Chareth, wings tucked tight to flanks. �Cabin fever, hmm? All right, let�s go.� �Chareth, we�ve visited every Weyr on the face of Pern! Can�t we go home now?� The green sniffed disdainfully and curved in the air, her shadow racing over the sun-mirroring depths below. <<Not quite every Weyr. And the sea air will do you good.>> �Saltwater gives me a /rash/, Chareth�� <<Just leave me alone. I know where I want to go,>> she said shortly. Hurt, Razi quieted until they reached yet another Weyr, a small one. <<Here. Here is a good place, my rider. Feel the thermals and the cool breeze! There�s plenty of space to maneuver without hitting anything high, too.>> An exasperated Razi snapped �Chareth, what are you /doing/?� <<I will fly and clutch here. This is perfect,>> the green stated, her mental tone now warm and mellow. Comprehension dawned belatedly on Razi, and she stared. �Chareth, you�re /proddy/!� It was more of a wail then a question as the greenrider faced the inevitable. <<What else have you been keeping me off firestone for?>> Chareth responded affably, and Razi moaned. <<This is Baeris Kshau�s Healing Den. Go sign me up; we�re not going home. Pesky clutchmates will never find me /here/.>> |
