Yamina wandered into the common room, seeking something to do. She was bored out of her mind. She had already done her chores of the day, as a Candidate, but now she had nothing left to do. And she was bored...

She flopped ungracefully into a chair. Then she grimaced at herself. If her family had seen that... She sighed. Oh, how she missed her family. But here... Here she had the chance to Impress a dragon. And wouldn't that have made them proud...?

Yamina thought about that for a moment. Her parents had believed that dragons, in small numbers, were lucky signs. But in large numbers they could be very dangerous. but the possesion of a dragon was not only seen as lucky, but fortunate.

She sighed again. What conflicted thoughts she was having!

[phyrstyr]

Ugh. The weather. Nomics loved Rocky in the summer but the winter was the stuff of his nightmares. Cold, dark, cold and windy. Did he mention cold? All he wanted to do was nap, thats what Yurith was doing right now. But the wanderlust was upon him and he needed to roam.

The library? He walked in to look at the books. I do need something else to read... he thought. But almost immediately he walked out; That wasnt what he wanted to do. He had no idea what it WAS that he wanted, but he felt he would know when he saw it.

The Kitchen? Nadie ((spanish for nobody)), and he wasnt hungry either.

The hatching sands? Noooope, not with broody dragons.

The common room? He meandered over thinking he would sit by the fire until he thought of somewhere else to go, but lo and behold! Another human soul! By Jove thats what it was!

He quietly sauntered over to the lady and sat down on a couch facing her. He had planned to stare awkwardly at her until she said something, but five seconds in he caved and stuck out his hand. Flashing a wide grin he said, "Nomics of Bronze Yurith, at your service! And you are...?"

[FaizahPandora]

Yamina cocked a brow at Nomics before reaching a hand out and shaking his. "Yamina, Candidate." She gave her simple introduction.

She looked at him, a close scrutiny of his looks. Yeah, some might say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but that was what Yamina did. One would be surprised by what someone could find out about a person based on their body language. He seemed a confident, if eager, handsome man.

Yamina smiled at him, feeling a little more comfortable with this man. He was a bronze rider, which was the highest rank for a male rider. On Pern he might have one day become a Weyrleader, like Kain of bronze Gorth was Weyrleader of Rocky.

"What brings you here?" She randomly asked.

[phyrstyr]

Nomics thought for a moment. Yamina...Yamina... He liked the way it felt. "Yamina," he said, "A lovely name for a lovely lady." She seemed very pleasant, if a little rigid. He liked her.

Smiling again, Nomics joked, "To Earth, or this room?" He gave a little wink. "I'm in this room because I..." by this point his hands were out and ready for gesturing and a little twinkle was in his eye indicating he was contriving a mischievous plan, "I cant tell you, if i did i'd have to kill you and that would be quite a shame! Being a pretty lady like yourself." He gave her a once over, not a gross 'im undressing you in my mind', but an 'Im being funny by sizing you up as if for a fight' kind of way.

"Then again I'm sure you could take me, so here it is..." He paused for dramatic effect, letting the moment linger so that she could have time to wonder what he could possibly be doing here that would be top secret. Leaning in so that he could whisper into her ear Nomics continued, "Im bored out of my mind."

[FaizahPandora]

Yamina smirked when he said he would have to kill her if he told her. She had a good feeling that she would easily hold her own against him. But she let him continue. She only smirked again when she heard him say she could take him. Which she knew might very well be the case.

His continuous "pretty lady" comments didn't do anything. She knew she was pretty, but it didn't matter. That only helped her when men decided to try and take her. But when he finally revealed what he was doing in the common room, Yamina couldn't help but laugh. The man, Nomics, had humor going for him at least.

Yamina smiled as she laughed. "That's your big secret?" She asked, her gold eyes gleaming. "Your big secret is that you're bored...?" She couldn't stop smiling.

[phyrstyr]

He thought she was pleasant before, but that smile was very wow! He caught himself smiling too, it was just so infectious! Nomics decided that he'd like to see her do that again! He didnt want to try too hard though, he got the feeling that if he acted even remotely desperate - that is, like a sex craved lecherous prick- she'd leave in a flash. Not that he was any of those things! He most certainly was not! He simply didnt want to look like one.

"Well of course! What would the little weyrlings think if a Bronze Rider was lying around bored! Havoc would ensue! Anarchy even!" As he spoke, he grew progressively more animated, by the end he even threw up his hands in mock horror. His brows furrowed with concern, and shook his fist for emphasis, "I must think of the children!"

He leaned back in his seat, shedding his previously concerned look and replacing it with one of mild curiosity, he asked, "And what, may I ask, brought you here?"

[FaizahPandora]

Yamina couldn't help but laugh. A true, boisterous laugh that lit up her eyes. She laughed so hard at his animations that her stomach hurt, and she wrapped her arms around it to try and ease the ache. After she calmed down Yamina reached up and wiped away the laughter tears from her eyes.

"Almost everyone is bored around here. There is not enough to do." Yamina agreed. She continued to smile as she revealed her own reason for being in the common room. "I, too, am bored. Not much to do while waiting for the next hatching." She said.

Yamina decided that she liked this man. He was funny, cheerful, thoughtful, and obviously physically fit. It didn't matter what color his dragon was. It didn't matter what had brought them from Pern to Earth. She liked him, and it came as a surprise to her. With a small laugh to herself, she decided she wanted to keep him talking. But she didn't know what to say...

[phyrstyr]

Yep, that smile was definitely wonderful. But that laugh! That laugh was like a dozen pearls, pure and smooth, to his ears. He couldnt help laughing with her, that uncontrolled expression of joy like music to his ears.

Her response caused another mirthful grin to cross Nomics' face, "Well it looks like we have something in common then! Which i definitely dont have a problem with!"

Nomics was becoming quite fond of Yamina, he could see that underneath her hard and somewhat reserved exterior lay a friendly and enjoyable young woman. He very much wanted to see if there was even more to her than he had seen. Maybe if he tested the waters? Ask her to try something he liked... but that made him a little nervous. what if he pushed too far and she backed off? He really liked what they had going so far... but...

"Hey Yamina, have you ever..." He looked down and to the side as if shy to go on. He looked up a little to judge her mood, but then ducked his head again. He decided to just ask. So he blurted out, "Have you ever sat upside down on a couch with your feet at the top and your head on the ground?"

There! He said it! Now let fate, the gods, and Yamina do what they will...

[FaizahPandora]

Yamina smiled again. "Indeed we do. And I don't have a problem with it either."

Yamina cocked her head to the side in curiosity when Nomics started acting reserved and shy. She tried a warm smile, but he didn't seem to see it before he blurted something out. And then she couldn't help but smile.

"Of course I haven't. How undignified." She said. But her smile and the glint in her gold eyes gave away her little lie. She had indeed done just such a thing when she was a child, and she had enjoyed every moment of it. She laughed a little, remembering her antics as a child.

[phyrstyr]

Nomics gave an impish smile, her words said no but her body said yes. He decided to continue with it, this time much more confident. "Well since you've never done it before, how about you do it with me?" He gave her a little wink, "Besides, I dont know the meaning of dignity! and ill never tell another soul, cross my heart! It'll be our little secret!" The Bronze Rider definitely thought there was a little chemistry going on here, and he wanted to foster it. The desire to take things slow clashed with his fear of going too slow, eventually he decided that it wouldnt hurt to bring up the pace - not to 11, but maybe to 6... or 12...

Since he was on a couch and she in a chair, he went ahead and flipped around to sit upside down. Since he was already down she'd have no excuse to decline. Looking up at her from the floor he invited her over by awkwardly patting the space next to him with his hand which, being at the wrong angle, kind of hit the cushion sideways. To make it even more inviting and irresistible, he jovially (and mildly suggestively) said, "Its most fun when you're sitting with someone!"

[FaizahPandora]

Yamina grinned foolishly, looking around as if she expected to find someone other than she and Nomics there. Then she slinked off her chair and over to sit, upside down, next to Nomics. Needless to say her hair, not up in it's usual ponytail, pooled on the ground under her head. She turned and looked at Nomics. She burst out laughing almost as soon as she did.

His face looked red. Like he had been outside too long. Or had been hanging upside down more than he let on. Either way didn't matter, because Yamina was now laughing like a hyena. In fact, she was laughing so hard she was starting to slide off the couch...

((Sorry for short post))

[phyrstyr]

Nomics watched as Yamina, on the 'ceiling,' walked with mock caution over to him. He wanted to catch her hair before it got dirty on the floor, but it flowed so beautifully that he was distracted. So lovely, he thought. He wanted to reach out to touch it; but then she looked over, her eyes still dancing with mirth. So entranced he was by her that he was actually a little started when she started laughing at him.

What had he done that was so funny? he wondered. Oh, thats right... he thought with a chuckle, im sitting upside down. She was laughing so much that he started laughing too, which made him a little light headed... He looked back at her and saw her start to slip.

That had happened to him many times, getting unbalanced enough in his seat to fall on the ground, hitting his noggin and jerking his neck awkwardly. Usually it wasnt more than inconvenient, but he still didnt want it to happen to Yamina.

Without thinking his eyes went wide with concern, "Oh Dear!" he exclaimed even as he threw himself from his spot onto the floor. He caught her by the shoulders to shield her head and ended up with her back on his chest, her legs and bum still precariously on the couch.

"You alright, Yamina?" Nomics asked after the three seconds it had taken for everything to come to fruition.

[FaizahPandora]

Yamina stopped laughing as soon as she felt herself start to slip. And within a few seconds, she was half laying on Nomics. He was looking at her with worry, and she was blushing slightly. She lowered her eyes from his face, hoping he wouldn't see her blush. This was awkward...

"You alright, Yamina?" He asked her.

She nodded, her head still turned a little. Her face must be as red as a tomato! It sure felt like it... Yamina was aghast to realize that while she was feeling nervous and awkward, she was also a little bashful that he had caught her. Maybe bashful wasn't the word though... She felt something towards Nomics, but she wasn't sure what. She almost wanted to lean over and kiss him.

Yamina shook her head. Why did she want to kiss him? That wasn't like her...

[phyrstyr]

Nomics could feel her soft skin on his, saw her face blush, heard her nervous breathing, and smelled her feminine scent. Oh it was almost too much to take!

He felt more than saw her nod of assent. The Bronze Rider was glad she was fine, and not displeased with their current predicament. Boy-o was he glad he had been working out! the last thing he needed was to be self conscious of his abs!

Since he was so glad she was fine, and desiring to let his intentions be known, Nomics gave Yamina a nice warm hug from behind. She was still on top of him so it was his only option, but he didnt mind one bit. He could feel her curves, her warmth, and whispered gently in her ear, "Im very glad," in response to her okay-ness.

What was he doing! moving so fast! But at this point he just wanted to keep going. He liked Yamina. Not just for her pretty face, nice bod or radiant smile, but also for her personality. He'd love to see her open up to him even more; that excited him almost as much as her closeness to him. right now. Oh thats right, she was right there. Now how could he ask her but not seem forceful or needy... oh the trials of a decent man. well, mostly decent.

Loosening his hug just a little, the Rider whispered to her again (this seemed like a whispery moment), saying, "Well my dear... Im not bored anymore." He paused for a moment then asked, "What would you like to do now?"

[FaizahPandora]

Yamina was feeling much the same way, albeit a bit more embarrassed than before. Her thoughts were all over the place! First and foremost in her mind, however, was how nice it felt being pressed up against Nomics.

She felt him hug her, fiercly. And oh, how she wanted to be able to turn around and hug him back. She smiled a little when she heard him say he was glad that she was okay. She was glad she was okay too!

Silence reined for a few moments, Yamina lost in her own thoughts. It would seem Nomics was as well, but she didn't even notice. Yamina was almost solely focused on her own thoughts. Thoughts of things that she shouldn't be thinking of. Such as how nice it felt to be this close to another body. How good it felt to have this man's arms around her, holding her tightly. And other such thoughts that she didn't dare delve too deeply into.

"Well my dear... I'm not bored anymore." She heard Nomics whisper. She turned her head a little, trying to see him better. "What would you like to do now?" He asked.

Yamina's heart seemed to skip a beat. If he only knew what she wanted to do... He probably wouldn't even speak to her for her wanton thoughts. Her parents certainly wouldn't have. They were thoughts she shouldn't think about until she was married...

Yamina shivered a little, torn. What did she want to do...?

[phyrstyr]

He felt her shiver against him. A pang of indecision wracked his mind. What if she didnt want him the way he wanted her? But he shoved it away. There were certain vibes in the air and unless she said otherwise he would follow them.

He had been caressing her hair gently while thinking, and only just realized he had been doing so. He almost stopped, but the smoothness and beauty of it was too alluring. As was her smell. He inhaled deeply to catch it and was rewarded by her soft and delicate feminine scent. This was too much. He had to let her know his feelings. Let her know that he admired and desired her - mind and body.

Silently, the Bronze Rider gently turned Yamina's shoulders a little so that she was facing him more. He looked her in the eyes for a moment, getting lost in their beauty. Was there nothing of this woman which was not perfect? he raised his head a little to be closer to her face. Closing his eyes he leaned in the last inches and gently kissed her soft lips.

[FaizahPandora]

Yamina had felt it the moment Nomics had started caressing her hair, and she would be a liar if she said she didn't like it. It was comforting, very comforting. But at the same time it made her that much more aware of the man she was somewhat laying on.

She heard Nomics inhale deeply, and she almost twisted around to see why he had done so. Was it possible that she had gained some weight since arriving here, and that he was having trouble breathing? She supposed it was. But at the same time he wasn't asking her to get up or to move...

And suddenly he was turning her around, turning her to look at him. Their eyes met, and Yamina felt like she was suddenly lost. There was such a depth, a wonderful depth, to his eyes. And it seemed that he was as lost in her eyes as she was in his.

She closed her eyes a second after Nomics did, able to anticipate what was going to happen. And she was right as she felt his lips on hers. It was a gentle kiss, but a kiss all the same. And it would be shameful if Yamina had admitted that it was her first kiss. But what a kiss it was...!

Yamina turned a little more, moving to wrap her arms around Nomics' neck. She leaned closer in, shivering slightly. She felt so good. She enjoyed feeling his lips on hers. She enjoyed feeling his arms around her. She enjoyed his body close to hers. And all of this was overwhelming her to the point where she just didn't care.

Yamina decided that she really, really liked Nomics.

[phyrstyr]

Nomics felt Yamina respond to his advance. He pulled her even closer against him and kissed her more passionately. His hands moved gently over her back, feeling every curve of her. But through his desire addled mind he realized that the floor of the common room was not the place to continue conducting these kinds of affairs.

The Rider started to sit up. He murmured, "Why dont we continue this somewhere more private?" And with that he bodily picked her up, carrying her to his weyr where they could continue in private.

[FaizahPandora]

((And we're done here. Should we do a thread between them for after the Hatching?))

[phyrstyr]

((Yeah i think that would be fun!))

[FaizahPandora]

((Okay. I will make one in a little bit.))
