Logfile from Harpers-Tale
Kia

Five foot, one inches may not be tall but the presence of this young woman is always felt no matter her size. Widespaced sea green eyes are set into a slim freckled face that has sleeked down to high cheek bones and snubbed nose. Short, cropped and spikey would explain Kia's hair at this present moment. Alternating tones of blue are randomly stood on end around her head. The deep crimson of her natural color hair shoot up here and there giving her a rather weird look but thats alright. Formally whipcord thin this young woman is still thin but not overly so her body having a more feminine shape to it. Pale skin after years outdoors has finally settled at a more normal tone of beige not exactly dark or tan but color none the less.

Uniforms! Yup I'm afraid so this former Starcrafter now turned 'ling wears the lurvely uniform of an Istan. Bright orange and sometimes blinding in the middle of the day, made of a sturdy cotton like material it's comfortable looking and relatively soft. Black work pants already much abused it would seem fit snuggly to her hips tapering down to her ankles where the work boots are laced tightly. Perched on Kia's head is Umi. Perched on Kia's shoulder is Hai. Perched on Kia's shoulder is Risa.

Kia wears the double corded knot of orange and black, with a single loop letting all know she's one of those freaky Ista Weyrlings.

She is awake and looks alert.

Kia is 18 Turns, 5 months, and 4 days old.

Valanth

Rushes of pure azure stream calmly from elongated tail to petite muzzle, rippling delicately among the bumps and ridges that line the journey from this blue's neck, down along his back to the tip of his tail. Peace and serenity joyride until the frothy foams give way to the deep and chilling river rapids that form the aqua of his body as a whole. Swirling spheres mar each of his flanks, whirlpools warping his colours to new depths of tone, lilac laced into watery blues. But as the current softens back along his wings after the fierce excursion through the gauntlet, the tint lessens almost to a near film of ice, clear as the sky above and calm as a summer's day.

Pure bright startling white glares cheerfully against the azure ripples of this young dragons neck. Each carefully placed stitch is alternated from light blue to dark blue mind you only you'll notice if looking closely for it almost blends with the dragons hide marring the lines between straps and body. Securely fastened into the light silverish blue buckles the straps are fitted snugly.

Valanth is 6 months and 27 days old.

He is 27 feet (9m) long, with a wingspan of 45 feet (15m).

Valanth seems to be listening.

Northeastern Bowl

The northeastern arc of the Weyr Bowl seems somewhat isolated from the rest of the weyr - with necessity, for this is the training grounds for young riders and dragons, the Weyrlings. The main entrance to the weyrling barracks is just north of here, and the ground there is well-trampled and firm, as if many feet, both human and dragon, have wandered over it dozens of times a day. Further up in the northwest corner of the bowl is the waterfall, tumbling out of the Weyr face several dragonlengths above, misting the area in a rainbow glow. On the south side of the bowl lie the ashpits and firestone supplies for the entire Weyr.

It is a spring before dawn.

Gliding about are Bubbly and Overture.

Green Misumith, blue Lazeth, green Rionath, brown Xylyth, and blue Valanth are here.

You see Flamer Charging Unit here.

Kia is here.

Obvious exits:

Barracks Pool Path Central Bowl

Kazra is sitting quietly, leaning against the barracks, watching Xylyth as he goes through his excercise. A little hop into the air, a little flap of his wings, a hover, before he lands again. Up and down, up and down.. Kazra spots Kia and gives her and Valanth a cheery waves. "Hiya Kia! And hi Valanth!" Xylyth pauses in his bounceing for a moment to bugle a greeting to his blue clutchsib, before starting his excercises again.

Kia is actually rather slowly moving from the barracks up early and looking tired for once. Or rather more rumbled than anything her uniform usually neatly creased isn't today but that's alright there's a grin on her face as she greets Kazra "Hey! I just woke up but Valanth decided that exercising would help and I could just sit and drink klah for a minute" And right on target comes her tiny blue lifemate ambling from the barracks to warble a bright greeting at Xylyth moving off far enough to have space for lurvely wing exercises

"Well, at least we don't really have to do much while they're exercising, do we?" Kazra says with a smile as Xylyth gives an extra big hop just to show off. "Does Valanth like to do the excercises?" she asks, looking over at the blue. "I know that Xylyth does, says it takes him one step close to flying."

Kia nods even as one hand is pushed through her nonspiked at the moment hair. "Yeah he likes doing them even though he claims he looks like a fish flopping around sometimes." Speaking of which Valanth has done more of a hopping run wings moving him just a tad off the ground before he's thudded back down a little trill of delight. Kia just giggles taking a sip of her klah before looking back towards Kazra "Everythings moving so quick though I mean it seems like only just a few days ago that they hatched"

Kazra nods, eyes flickering to watch the blue at his excercise, before they lock back onto Xylyth."Has he actually taken to the skies yet?" she asks Kia, turning back to face her friend and fellow weyrlings. "Time does seem to have sped. That probably has somehing to do with the fact that everytime we turn around, they've grown an extra few inches." Xylyth decides to take a break from his own excercising for a moment to watch Valanth at his.

Valanth doesn't hop this time his feet never leaving the ground as he pumping his wings for a long few moments. Kia just smiles at him before bobbing her head "He's been up a couple of times but only for a second. He loves it and it takes a bit of willpower to get him to /not/ stay up there even though he'd get tired real quick still"

"I think that'll be the problem that everyone is having at the moment. I know how excited Xy is at the thought of going up. He's even excited when his feet leave the ground when he hops and hovers." Kazra says. Xylyth decides that he's done enough watching and extends his wings, copying Valanth with vigourous flapping.

Kia drains the rest of her klah moving to flop down next to her fellow 'ling "I think Nverath had a time of it though. Heard Baji talking about it to B'ane I think." a shrug as she turns to obseve Xylyth for a moment "You know I think Valanth's going to be rather small for a blue. Some of the greens are only a bit smaller than him right now"

Kazra glances at the blue, mentaly comparing him to the greens that she has seen and paid attention to. "But perfectly formed." she says with a smile. "And you'll love him no matter what size he is." And Kazra pauses for a moment, before moving onto another topic of conversation "So what's on your agenda for today then Kia?"

Kia giggles "Oh I know it's just rather interesting cause he's going to be small like I am compared to everyone else. We'll go great together and he /is/ rather perfecftly formed. I just love how his hide resembles water." see now she'll babble about how cute he is "Though he tends to prefer the cliffs to the sea so far. Haven't been many other places and he just likes to look at the cliffs." a peek at the brown as Valanth pauses to rest his eyes whirling a pleased color "Xylyth's in fine form today too. His hides got great tones in it"

"I haven't introduced Xylyth to the sea yet." Kazra says, blushing slightly while Xylyth preens at Kia's compliment. "But I can't wait until we can fly and go between, then I can introduce him to snow at the Reaches." She grins at the mental images that this produces. "What do you think that Valanth will think of the snow?"

Kia wrinkles her nose now still faintly smiling "Don't know what he'll think of it but when we visit there we won't stay long. I've got this thing about being cold and all. If I'm cold I'm really cold not just sorta halfway cold." Aparently the blue has had enough of his practicing for the moment as he moves towards his lifemate wings tucked neatly against his sides

"Wrap up warmly when you go to the Reaches then." Kazra, the ex-Reachian advises. "Its perishing up there when the snow is on the ground." And she nods her head as a visible agreement. Xylyth pauses in his bouncing flaps to eye the finished blue, before he decides that it might be better to lie and sun and chat, instead of doing more excercise.

Kia arches a brow at the imploring look from the now rather close up blue "You're icky and dusty now?" a smirk as she hops up "Then you'd be wanting your morning bathe before we do anything else today?" Valanth gives a whuffle to her shirt and she giggles "Oh alright I suppose I should get cleaned up too!" a look towards Kazra "We're gonna go get cleaned up and all but I know I'll see you around later."

Xylyth starts to amble into the barracks of his own accord. "See you later Kia." Kazra says with a smile, "Enjoy your bath. Whoops! Xy wants a nap." And Kazra rises and speedily hurries after her lifemate, the faint words "You could have told me you know." drifting out after her.
