A Dirty Job ((Raynee))

N'lon was waist deep, in freezing cold water, batheing Nyketh. The blue had demanded a bath that day, in a rare show of determination, and N'lon couldn't deny the precious blue. But this was one of few times that N'lon wished he had a flitter hoarde to help with the cold task.

Thank you, mine. I feel better already... Nyketh said to N'lon.

N'lon had only just started on the blue's shoulder, after having finished with the neck and back ridges. N'lon grunted in acknowledgement of the comment, sending the blue waves of love and adoration.

The blue weyrling was shivering already, but the warmth coming off his dragon was comforting. N'lon just hoped that he would be able to finish soon. Oh, what he wouldn't do for a helping hand!

Raynee was having one of those days when she woke up grumpy as all hell for no reason. Well there was a reason... Lately she has felt a strange longing this a companion, not the normal to her friend companionship, but something deeper... She had been having reoccuring dreams that she had a lover and was beginning to want one.

So She decided to go for a walk to clear her head. Syrus came with her, as she and the little flit went everywhere together. He was sleeping on her shoulders as he often did as she walked down along the lake.

She began to hear splashing coming from the lake, as she came upon where the trees ended and she could clearly see the lake she saw a blue dragon and what seemed to be his rider, who seemed to be having trouble in the cold. She scooped up a clump of snow and packed it tight in her mittens, and when she got close enough to get a good aim she threw it right at the rider.

SMACK! I hit him right in the back of the head.

[FaizahPandora]

N'lon had started rinsing Nyketh's shoulder, splashing the water onto the blue's shoulder, whent he felt something cold hit him in the back of the head. With a surprised yell, he turned to look behind him. He found the culprit to be a rather young looking girl with black hair. With a scowl, which was very characteristic of N'lon, he used the bucket beside him to toss water at her.

N'lon was upset that it didn't reach her. It didn't even come close. He grumbled to himself, hearing Nyketh's amused chuckling behind him. N'lon shot the blue a glare, which quieted him. But still Nyketh was amused. He shifted his wings, sprinkling N'lon with water as he did so. N'lon shot him another glare.

The blue weyrling glared over at the girl again. "Why don't you make yourself useful and come help me bathe this blue!"

Nyketh turned green whirling eyes to the girl. Yes. Join N'lon-mine.

[raynee]

Raynee began to giggle as the guy tried to splash water on her and failed.

"Okay!" She became excited about having real contact with another person other than her best friend Faizah. She stripped down to her tank-top and spandex that she was wearing due to the cold and jumped right in! "BURR!" She squealed, as the water was very cold.

Syrus immediately jumped in with her just for fun and to help with the dragon's bath.

"Hey, pass me a sponge and some soap if you want my help!" She said, her mood was beginning top turn around. "Oh, and by the way, my name is Raynee."

[FaizahPandora]

N'lon nodded. "Name is N'lon." He muttered, handing over a bucket and the bar of soap. N'lon reached down to grab a sponge and had a wonderfully mischevious idea. He tossed the sponge over Nyketh's shoulder, aiming for the girl's shoulder. His aim was off, however, and the sponge got her right in the face. N'lon tried to hold back a laugh, but he was partially unsuccessful. He snorted.

Nyketh gave a small glare to N'lon. That was not nice... He told his rider.

Nyketh lowered his head and nuzzled Raynee's chest. N'lon went back to batheing Nyketh's other side, working on his side and hind leg now. With a gruff voice, N'lon spoke. "Are you a Candidate? I haven't seen you around here with a dragon or wher..." He let the end of the sentence trail off, waiting for her reply.

[raynee]

Raynee smiled as the dragon nugded her, "yes, I'm a Candidate. I hope to be going to the next hatching though." She began scrubbing the front leg of Nyketh, opposite the side N'lon was on.

Raynee had never been good with words when it came to talking to new people so she began to make small talk. "Your dragon is very handsome, just as his Rider is." She began to a little unsure if her comment was appropriate. "Umm..."

[FaizahPandora]

N'lon chuckled at her last comment. That was obviously a compliment. He smiled at her as he began to rinse Nyketh's hind leg. "Thank you. You're very pretty yourself."

Nyketh purred, nudgeing Raynee again. He then turned his head to the other side, nudging N'lon. N'lon reached over and rubbed Nyketh's eyeridges some. It wasn't often that the young blue broke personality and seemed confident, but N'lon liked it a little better than the whininess...

I like her. She compliments us. Nyketh told N'lon.

N'lon nodded in agreement. That she does. He answered.

[raynee]

Raynee smiled at N'lons compliment, "Thank you." She said, blushing a bit. Raynee had always been a little on the awkward side when it came to guys. "So, how come you are out bathing your dragon on such a cold day?"

She shivered as a cool breeze passed over the water and looked over to N'lon. She finished rinsing off Nyketh's front left leg then moved to the right.

[FaizahPandora]

N'lon scoffed. "Nyketh decided he just couldn't go without a bath... Not that I mind giving him one." N'lon said, smiling at his blue as he did so.

N'lon moved to clean Nyketh's tail, the last place to clean before Nyketh's head. N'lon found he hated cleaning the tail the most. He hated stooping over to get to it, and Nyketh didn't like holding it up for N'lon. He shrugged the memory off, however, and turned his attention to her.

"What were you doing walking around in the cold weather?"
