Dalez and Alhajath (Adult)

    "Will you stop it Alhajath?" snapped Dalez as her normally sweet white beauty hissed yet again at several males that were getting too close.
     They are nothing but spineless wherrys, she snarled back. They come too close and I will make them cringe.
     Her rider snorted in amusement. Far from backing down and cringing, the males seemed all the more interested. "Let's just get back to the weyr. You've had your bath and I my meal, so there's no reason for us to hang around any longer."
     Grumbling a bit about bossy riders and bothersome blues, Jewel obediently glided back up to their weyr ledge. I think I will sun awhile, she announced as she stretched out and spread her wings to receive the maximum effect of the sun's rays. Dalez just shook her head and walked inside.

She was met at the entrance by an anxious-looking Lex. "What's wrong?" she murmered as he buried his head in her soft, red-brown hair. He crooned a bit and snuggled closer. "I've been a bit snappish with you and Gremmy lately, haven't I? I'm sorry Lex. It's just that I'm reflecting Jewel's proddiness at the moment and sometimes I say things I don't mean and get annoyed with people who don't deserve it. I'll try a little harder to control it though. All right?" He sent a happy thought her way and she smiled. "Thanks for trying to make me feel better. I just need a bit of rest right now. Coping with Jewel's attitude has me a bit stressed out."
She headed off to bed and slipped under the furs, falling almost immediately asleep. She dreamed that she was back home, working on some important project or another. Suddenly, she felt a seething tempest of emotions so strong and voilent that they dragged her groggily awake. Blinking the sleep out of her eyes, she looked around and realized that they were coming from Jewel.

    "What's wrong dearheart?" she asked sleepily.
     I rise to mate. Now!
     That was enough to snap her to her senses. Hurrying out of bed, she threw on some clothes and hastened over to her dragon, who was waiting impatiently on the ledge where she had been sunning not long before. Dalez leapt smoothly to her back and they glided down to the feeding ground...and males waiting there.
