Food for a Firelizard...?? ((Open to all))

[cerinthe]

Monara glanced into the kitchens. She could see that the Kitchen was busy with Drudges and Cooks preparing the morning meal. Monara drew in a deep breath and walked into the Kitchen with her hungry Kye perched on her shoulder, his tail rapped loosely around her neck. Kye sniffed the air and made a chirping sound, he knew the smell of good food. So did Monara and her mouth began watering as she wondered when the food would be ready.

She glanced around for someone to ask for help, but it seemed that most of the people were to busy to deal with a lone girl and her firelizard. "Excuse me...uh if you'd just.." She sighed frustrated that nobody was listening to her, and to add to the problem Kye was getting hungrier by the minute, he was beginning to hiss with annoyance he wanted to eat! Monara groaned. What to do, what to do.

Finally after more failed attempts to get help she was fed up. " I'll get Kye's food myself... and if I get in trouble I'll just say that nobody tried helping me...right." She muttered to herself as she found a bowl and then a bin that held meat scraps, breakfast for Kye or any firelizard. After selecting a few pieces Monara walked to the edge of the Kitchen grab a chair, and sat down with the bowl of scraps in her lap.

With a happy chirp Kye jumped from Monara's shoulder onto the rim of the bowl, nearly tipping himself and the contents onto the floor. "Kye stop being such a slob." Monara scolded her ravenous brown, Kye ignored her and continued emptying the bowl. Monara rolled her eyes and looked around waiting for Kye to finish. She scanned the kitchen looking to see if she knew anyone there....

Zylaera dragged the little girl behind her in a huff. "Thenzel! Stop skipping so...you'll wake them to a racket!" She couldn't believe it...hre sister had not one but two fire lizards! Just last sevenday had been her sisters birthday, into her 12th turn where she would become and eligible Weyrbrat for apprenticeship and Impression. Thaerne, who had always had a soft spot for the little girl presented her with two eggs. Two Eggs! Where he had managed to get them as such a low ranking Weyrwman, she couldn't fathom, but now she was stuck with her baby sister and two new born flivvers. One green and one blue head poked themselves out from the crooks of her little sister's arms.

The little girl was humming sweetly to them, unlike Zylaera, Thenzel had the voice of an angel. Zylaera's own green Sudi was watching the bebbies with a caring, interested look that hardly ever passed her usually quarreling, fussy features. With her sweet sing song voice, the little girl began chatting happily, "They are the most darling things, don't you think? What should i name them sister?" "How about Dimglow and Stupidbeast?" Was the Weyrbrat's terse reply. "Now we better get them something to eat."

Zylaera noticed Monara feeding her own lizard and motioned for thensel to take a stool next to her, "Hey Monara." She said smiling, "I was forced to drag my sister with me so she can feed her babies." She flicked her head at them. She loved her little sister so much, but sometimes the little gir lmade her sick. With her perfect voice, dainty features and sweet disposition, she was her parents perfect little girl. Of course she had gotten to eggs, she was the favorite.

"'Goodmorning Zylaera. How's Sudi today? Hungry I bet." Monara giggled, firelizards always seemed hungry. "Oh hello, I'm Candidate Monara." She nodded to Zylaera's little sister. "Two firelizards! There going to be a handful, one's eough for me. I can barely control Kye." Monara eyed the baby firelizards, they seeemd pretty young, she must have just Impressed them. "I'm sorry I didn't catch your name." Monara glanced at Zylaera wondering if she was gong to introduce her sister....

Zylaera sighed and pointed to the little girl beside her, "This is Thenzul, my little sister. Thenzel, this is candidate Monara." She deftly nabbed a pieace of meet etween her two fingers and fed it to Sudi before filling a bowl up for her Green. Once Sudi was siatisfied she instructed her sister. "Now Thenzel, you have to fill up a bowl with meat. A bit more than i have for Sudi. You have to make sure they don't gorge themselves to much or their hides'll split. You also have to make sure one of them doesn't hog everything." The little girl nodded and went about her task. Zylaera turnd to Monara, lookinbg for conversation with someone who could pronounce "conversation" properly. "So how do you liek being a candidate Monara? Now that you have been here for a little while."

[cerinthe]

"Nice to meet Thenzel" Monara nodded once more at the girla dn then turned her attention back to Kye, as it seemed he had just finished his food. Kye lay in the bowl, his belly full. He burped and then took his time climbing out of the bowl and onto Monara's lap. Kye was so fat she doubdted
he could fly. ' Might as well let him digest, and talk to Zylaera'

Hearing her name Monara listened to Zylaera's question. "Oh I love it. Before coming here I had on;ly dreamed of Dragons excisting, it still shocks me to see them flying around even though I've been here a while." She watched the other girl, wondering how she felt about seeing dragons fly and all.

"I guess coming from the north has changed my perseption on life...its so short." MOnara felt her shoudlers sag just a bit. The memories seemed to always come back when she least expected it. "So" She stared trying to set the conversation wawy fro her life. "how do you like Lateo? Have you always lived here? Or did you gte searched?" She smiled politly at Zylaera and wondered about the other Candidate.

Thenzel curtsied cutely to Monara before continueing to feed her two new pets.
Zylaera leaned back in her chair her back was aching from chores and she handn't had a break for hours. "The Weyr is really amaing." She said proudly. She someday wanted to be the rider of one of those dragons flying over the sky.

"I'm a Weyrbrat. I still live with my family and i am not even a realy candidate ut i get to stand. I really couldn't imagine living anywhere else. The Weyr is the best home anyone could hope for." She loved the Weyr and thought it the best place on Pern even though she hadn't really ever been anywhere else excpet a short trip to Lateo hold. "I'm really gald you liek it here. You're almost sure to Impress. Girls from the norh almost always do. Weyrwoman Kyparla is from he north i think as well." Zylaera really wanted to Impress but didn't really expect to. She would be perfectly content with a green. They were the best in her opinion anyways.

[cerinthe]

"Weyrwoman Kyparla is! Oh I didn't know that....I just thought people from the south Impressed or where searched. Welll I guess I still have some things to learn about." Monara was truly surprised but she didn't stay so for long as, Zylaera's other words drifted through her head. "I don't know, I understand that people are searched or like you can stand at at a Hatching becasue their from the Weyr. But i'm neither. Weyrwoman Kyparla said I could stand but how do I know I can Impress, no dragon searched me and i doubt I have any dragonriders blood in my veins." Monara sighed and shifted the bowl a bit in her lap making it easier for her to hold. Kye was now sound asleep.

"I hope I Impress but I'm also bracing myself just in case it doesn't happen. And I still have Kye so its not like i'll lose anything." Monara eyed the fat and fast asleep firelizard on her lap and giggled, he looked so comical. "So" said Monara directing her questiont to Thenzel. "What did you name your firelizards? Or have you not named them yet..?" She was trying to be polite and she hoped she hadn't come off as demanding.
