Relaxing in the weyr {Zen/Malin}

[Dr'ym]

Dr'ym stretched and layed out on the bed. What a day! He had be run all over the place, but at least now he was in his weyr.

Where was Malin? Ah well, probably off on an errand or looking at the sky. Dr'ym smiled thinking of Malin. She was a wonderful woman.

Peth enjoyed it too. He was happy that His was happy. Speaking of Peth...oh, there he is! Out on the ledge sunning again.

Dr'ym smiled and just laid on the bed.

[Zenniel]

Incoming! Kindleth cried, flaring her wings as she settled to the ledge outside the Weyr. Malin, who had been riding bareback, just dropped off her dragon. "That was fun, go lay with Peth now!"

Of course, the sand did so, and curled up near Peth on the large ledge were the sun's rays could get her. Malin took off her riding mask and gloves. "We came from Wislon." She stated simply, knowing that since Peth was on the ledge, Dr'ym would be in their Weyr. "Good afternoon, dear heart!"

Anything nice you do today? Kindleth asked Peth, her eyes whirling green in contentment. Meanwhile, Malin sat on the edge of the bed. "Wislon is very hot today."

[Dr'ym]

He heard the Sand land on the ledge but didn't move. His grin gave him away that he wasn't asleep though as she sat down on the bed.

Peth crooned and nuzzled Kindleth. Not really my Kindleth, what about you?

Dr'ym smiled up at Malin, " Hot eh?", he asked as he reached up quickly to pull her down on top of him and laughed.

He cradled her to him and played with her hair. He sighed. " Today was so boring! I just want a nice night, don't you?" He grinned and stroked her cheek.

[Zenniel]

Malin was looking right at Dr'ym when he began to smile. She knew he wasn't asleep, she could tell by his posture. But, she didn't hint anything until he opened his eyes. But, she couldn't hint anything anyway, seeing as after she sat down, he grabbed her and pulled her on top of him. Malin was, by that time, laughing.

"Yes, very hot!" She said, laughter still bubbling up within her. Then, a little startled by what Dr'ym said, Malin snorted, "No, if what you're thinking is what I think you're thinking, not tonight. Kindleth is too close to Flying. I won't let her Fly while Lilith is going to Fly soon. I don't want an accident." The always dreamy Malin had suddenly become serious.

Which, really, was a rarity in itself. Malin, dear, I won't Fly if you don't want me to. That was said to both Malin and Peth, as most of what Kindleth said was usually projected to both Malin and Peth, or Malin, Peth, and Dr'ym. Malin was stubborn, and said, no, I won't risk it.

[Dr'ym]

Dr'ym looked at her face for a second. His smile faded, he thought for a minute.

" No, you're right Malin dear." He said. " But a nice night doesn't always have to be that eh?"

Peth rumbled in agreement.

Dr'ym ran a hand through her hair and put another hand under her chin, holding her head as he kissed her. " We could watch the stars like you love. We can lay here and hold each other, love. It doesn't matter really." He clasped her hand. " As long as it's with you."

[Zenniel]

A nice night didn't have to be all that, did it? Malin grinned as her Weyrmate noted that watching the sky was just as nice as anything. Malin loved the sky, so, naturally, she accepted. She rolled off of Dr'ym, and said, "Well, tonight looks nice to watch the sky."

Kindleth surveyed the sky, much like her rider did, lavender tinging the green in her eyes. Kindleth turned to Peth, Look to the stars, no? There went Kindleth and her insane phrases. Good Sand.

Malin, meanwhile, was out on the ledge to the Weyr and looking around. She was trying to decide the best place to make Dr'ym look at the sky with her. She didn't know where to go, and finally, exasperated, turned to Dr'ym, "where to look?"

[Dr'ym]

He smiled as she got up and went to the ledge. She was looking around and around in the darkening sky.

Peth rumbled at Kindleth and nuzzled her. My lovely, if you want yo we will also gaze at the sky.

Dr'ym got up and began to walk over to her. When she turned around and asked which way to look, he smiled. She was so....Malin. He wrapped his arms around her neck and looked up at the sky.

" Hmm...I think we should just sit down and look where our mind takes us. How about that Malin-my-love?" He grinned and kissed her cheek softly.

[Zenniel]

While Malin was being kissed on the cheek -- a usual for her -- Kindleth gave somewhat of a croon. The stars shine nicely tonight. This was a double-meaning. She meant Peth looked nice. She also meant that the stars were bright. They were, actually, especially bright for a night like this.

When Dr'ym was done kissing her, Malin smiled up at him. "Alright. We shall sit. And our minds shall wander. And we will become lost in our greatest desires." Kindleth was rubbing off on this already-weird person. But that's what Dr'ym loved that about her, right?

[Dr'ym]

Peth crooned at rider and Kindleth.

Dr'ym smiled back at Malin and eased them both down to sit. " Then let us wander in the sky my dear." He said to her softly and winked.

He stroked her hair as he looked up into the night sky. He sighed. He always had loved the night sky, but ever since Malin had came into his life...he loved it even more.

" I love anything with you around Malin." He said the last part out loud as he pointed to a particularly bright star.

[Zenniel]

Malin was suddenly sitting. She leaned her head upon Dr'ym's chest, and looked up to the sky. The stars were so pretty tonight, and the shadow of a cloud was flitting over the first of Pern's two moons. The cloud looked like...

"A tunnelsnake." Malin said finally, and pointed to the cloud. "The tunnelsnake in the sky."

Kindleth rumbled. She, too, saw the tunnelsnake. it was times like these when the Sand didn't constantly have to watch over her rider. Dr'ym could do that.

"What do you see in the stars, my dear one?" Malin asked, hugging Dr'ym's hand almost awkwardly.

[Dr'ym]

Dr'ym smiled at the tunnelsnake cloud. He held Malin to him, her head on his chest. He held her hand more comfortably than they had been a minute before.

" What do I see love? I see bright stars that pale in front of my Malin's beautiful eyes." Dr'ym said and put his head ontop of hers. " I also see a very bright star that we should find a name fore over there." He pointed to the star again.

Peth crooned and looked over at Kindleth. They are perfect together, just as we are...aren't they Kindleth? His eyes were whirling with blue and green of contentment.

[Zenniel]

Kindleth nodded her head, her eyes now whirling in colors that contrasted each other. The two colors that showed the most were lavender and green. Purple was also predominant. Perfect as two stars who meet for the first time. Kindleth stated, the equivalent of a draconic grin on her face.

Malin snorted, "No star pales before my eyes, Dr'ym. My eyes are normal. The stars are beautiful." No one could argue with her when she talked of the sky. What she said went. Then, when Dr'ym said they should name it, she thought long and hard what to name it. Finally, she shook her head, "I have come up with nothing."

[Dr'ym]

He smiled at her. She was modest about those mesmerizing eyes of hers. He stroked her cheek. " I won't argue with you for now my love, but I will tell you how great you are later."

Peth crooned. Dr'ym smiled and leaned over as she came up with nothing for naming the star. " I have one, but I don't know if you will like it."

He kissed her and then whispered his star name in her ear. " Malin's Eye."

[Zenniel]

Malin snorted again, but her voice was softer as she said, "I don't think that one fits the nature of the star." What was Malin talking about? Maybe even she didn't know, but that was all fine, because Malin was Malin. Give her some slack. "Besides, that star is too beautiful to be named something so drab."

Mayhaps a Burning Fire will do? Kindleth asked her rider only, in which Malin brightened. "Kindleth says name the star Burning Fire. I think Bright Fire would be nice." She grinned as Kindleth gave out a small croon, lighter than Peth's as all dragoness voices are lighter than male dragon voices.

[Dr'ym]

Dr'ym smiled and nodded at Malin's name for the star. " Ok Malin, we will name it Bright Fire." He ran a hand through her hair.

" I just don't want to argue with you about you lovelyness tonight Malin-love." He smiled and hugged her to him. Peth crooned again, this time for Malin.

Dr'ym sighed with passion and happiness. " I love you so Malin." He grinned and kissed the nape of her neck.

Peth nuzzled Kindleth. The same for me to you Kindleth.

[Zenniel]

Malin grinned as she looked at the star, now named Bright Fire. Of course the star was probably already named (stars didn't just come into being overnight), but she liked to think that the star's name was Bright Fire.

Then, when Dr'ym hugged her, she hugged him back. Kindleth watched the dragon next to her for a minute, and crooned. From one to another, we shall love. Which, Zen supposes, means Kindleth loves Peth back. Kindleth, in turn, nuzzled Peth lovingly.

When Dr'ym kissed Malin on the nape of her neck, she grinned. "Now, now! Is that all you can do?" She pushed herself away from him, and stood up. "Come now, let's dance by the light of the moon!" With that, she gave a laugh and twirled in place.

[Dr'ym]

Dr'ym looked over at Peth and smiled to himself. He had never thought that himself and his dragon could have been so lucky.

Malin suddenly wanted to dance in the moonlight, and that made Dr'ym laugh. She was spontaneous, she truly was. He got up elegantly and gracefully went to her side after her twirl. He grabbed her waist with one hand and then the other...oh so gently.

" Well, then my dear...let us dance." Dr'ym smiled down into her face his eyes meeting hers.

[Zenniel]

'Well then my dear...let us dance.' Dr'ym said as he caught her after her twirl, and situated his hands elegantly across her midsection. How sensual, she thought, but her eyes were caught in his. He meant for this to be a fun night, and she had no idea what she wanted from him tonight. It was true, she didn't want Kindleth to rise just yet, but it was true she wanted tonight to be special.

Just like most of the other nights she spent with Dr'ym.

Kindleth turned her whirling eyes to watch the couple dance. She was sure that not many people in the Weyr had as strong a connection as Dr'ym and Malin. Those two where destined for each other, just was Peth was destined for her. Kindleth turned back to Peth, and nuzzled into his neck, This night must never end.

"Yes, we must dance, dance to our heart's desire." Malin cried, and put her arms around Dr'ym, "but we musn't dance slow. I couldn't take it."

[Dr'ym]

Peth moved closer to Kindleth and snuggled up against her. No it must not. But it will not, as long as we are here. He rested his head next to her smaller one and watched his mate with whirling, loving eyes.

Some Minerals were never content with the Sands, Storm Clouds, and other 'lower' colors...but Peth couldn't wish for any dragon better than Kindleth.

Dr'ym smiled as Malin looked at him intently.

" Well then, we will not dance slowly. But we will come back from that ledge a little bit my love." He grinned as he pulled her back and began to twirl her fast. They would enjoy this night no matter what it consisted of. They always did.

[Zenniel]

After they had moved to the inner part of the ledge to their Weyr, Dr'ym twirled Malin quickly. Malin loved it. She looked up and saw the stars spinning with her, though really they weren't and she was the only one spinning. But she loved it, watching the stars go by, seemingly. Kindleth watched the two dance, and turned to Peth, Do dragons dance?

Malin stopped twirling, and found the world still spinning. "Oh! The stars still move in time to the dance!" She cried, pointing at the sky. She noticed, belatedly, that her own arm was dancing, too. "Oh! This feels weird! You do it now!" She told Dr'ym, spinning around to face him, which wasn't a very good idea and she fell to the ground, laughing.
