Daphne uses Kotoryth's riding straps to swing down off her back. Kotoryth gives her rider a nuzzle as she reaches the ground.
Daphne has arrived.
Wiysath warbles a bright greeting to Kotoryth and bounds over to the oh-so-lovely green. Hiiii! J'dan gives a half-hearted wave in Daphne's direction and flushes faintly. "Hello."
Elsiana glances over at the new arrival, her arm still slung around Eri, nope ,your not seeing double. "Hello M'am," she says.
Coralee is leaning against Mihoth. "Hi," she calls cheerily.
Eriana waves and nods a greeting from beside her twin.
X'ner swings down off of Kebrianth's back, tossing off a wave and a salute to the arriving greenrider. Most of his attention though, is on the bronze, murmuring to him and undoing the straps.
Daphne waves cheerfully, obviously oblivious to J'dan's blush. "Um, hi. Evening. And stuff."
Kotoryth warbles oh-so-prettily at Wiysath, flicking her tail behind her. Well hel/lo/.
She always is... Now, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is questionable. "How are you, Daph...ne?" He asks, shifting uncomfortably, then moving to lean against Wiysath but --- *Ooof*. That blue is busy chasing after Kotoryth.
Coralee snickers and moves to whisper to Elsiana.
Elsiana chuckles and nods, muttering something back to Coralee.
Elsiana mutters to Coralee, "... when Mihoth starts..."
Coralee snickers at Elsi.
Daphne shrugs, still with her Kotoryth-influenced cheery smile. "Just fine, J'dan. And you?"
Elsiana does her sweet and innocent look and smiles at Coralee. "you know, I jsutcan't wait till they are old enough." not saying old enough for what though.
Coralee snickers. "Exactly," she says with a smirk J'danwards.
J'dan doesn't care, he's ignoring everyone else. Hmph. "Wiysath and I are well.. Just finished with some lessons." He nods toward those Weyrlings behind him. Is she impressed? "...Glad to see you doing well." He adds, then blushes, turning away.
Coralee grins. "How's the baby J'dan?" she calls out all of a sudden.
J'dan blinks at that, then turns to peer at Coralee, brows furrowed. "He is well... I suppose."
Elsiana smothers a smirk and askes,"what did you call him agian? I can't remember ,and how is Elana too?"
Daphne blinks. "Baby?"
Daphne says, "You have a baby?"
Coralee nods. "He does," she supplies helpfully. "He's the father of Elana's youngest."
J'dan winces at that, then slowly turns to face Daphne. Tries to, anyway. Just can't meet her gaze... "Well, uhh.. There was this flight, see... And Wiysath won and..." He blushes furiously at that. Wiysath warbles sweetly to Kotoryth. You're still my favorite, though.
Daphne says, "You had a baby with /Elana/?"
Elsiana chortles as she watches this.
It's not like Daphne is jealous or anything... Or is she? "I didn't /mean/ to.." J'dan mutters, then looks up, sending an accusing glare Wiysath's way.
X'ner eventually finishes talking to Kebrianth, and so turns around. The scene earns a confused look from him. Huh?
Kotoryth flicks her tail at Wiysath again, but turns her head. Pick other green before /me/, wouldyou...
Daphne tries not to look hurt. And, actually, succeeds a little teensy bit. Of course she's not jealous. WHy would she be jealous? It's just /J'dan/, after all, and J'dan's just her friend. No really, that's it. That's all. Really. "But..."
Elsiana pipes up,"and don't forget to tell her about Ked too J'dan." not being able to help herself here.
Daphne nods looks completely confused. "What?"
J'dan runs a hand through his dark hair quickly, looking down at the ground and absently kicking at an invisible pebble on the ground. "But what?" He glances up at Elsiana and pales. "/What/?" Seems he doesn't have the best memory...
Coralee snickers. "Your special friend," she supplies, ever helpful.
Elsiana laughs, her eyes twinkling,"You know, you 'special friend' Ked. My Brother." she prompts, hoping that'll jog his memory.
"K'dris is just my friend." J'dan insists, glaring at the two offending greenriders. "And unless you /weyrlings/ would like to be grounded until graduation, I suggest you keep out of my personal affairs." Take that. He gazes back at Daphne, then, eyebrows raised.
Eriana whispers to her sister and her friend, "You can tell me and I'll tell him. He cain't ground me..."]
Elsiana snickers and nods, muttering something back to Eriana.
Elsiana mutters to Eriana, "Remind... that Ked is... for..."
...But he can tell the headwoman, and get Eriana assigned more chores than she can count.
Coralee snickers at Eriana, and lets Elsi do the talking. Innocent, that's what she is.
Daphne shrugs, still trying to school her features to a mask of indifference. "I just didn't know you felt that way about Elana, that's all."
Eriana chimes brightly, "K'dris is my brother and I /do/ have to look out for him." in J'dan's direction. Loudly.
Those dark eyebrows raise more at that. "Felt /what/ way about Elana?" J'dan asks, frowning. He ignores Eriana and those green weyrlings. Meanies.
Coralee snickers. "Does K'dris know how you feel about Elana?" her voice sounds remarkably like Droogal's. Funny that.
Kotoryth flicks another tailful of bowldust Wiysath's way. So you like bronzes more than me, too, huh?
Daphne clears her throat. "I think...I think it's time for me to go now. I have errands to run... sweeps to fly... messages... or something."
Wiysath rumbles sadly Kotoryth-wards. Noooo. She's the bestest, prettiest, most wonderfullest dragon ever!
Elsiana snickers at the pair and mutters something to the others.
Elsiana mutters to Eriana, "You..."
Elsiana mutters to Coralee, "You... sickening?"
J'dan whirls around and glares at those meanies. "Oh.. Will you all shut up? If you must know, the only one I feel /that/ way about is /her/!" And before he has time to think about his words, he points at Daphne. A split second later he turns bright red. He didn't say nothin'.
Coralee snickers at Elsiana but just blinks at J'dan. hoohoo, now the secret's out.
Eriana oohs, grey eyes widening. What fun, something has just Happened.
Elsiana's snickers turn to outright laughter at J'dans words.
And, true to J'dan's luck, Daphne wasn't paying any attention.
Deep in conversation with her lifemate, Daphne starts away. "Well. Uhm, congratulations and stuff, Weyrlings...we have things we need to do."
Coralee aws. "That's sweet J'dan," she says. "Are you two going to be weyrmated?"
Daphne says, "Yeah, J'dan...send me a card or something after you move in with Elana."
Daphne walks to the Northern Bowl.
Daphne has left.
Elsiana almost chokes at Daphne's parting words.
Eriana elbows Elsi. "Ooh. I hope that never happens to /me/."
Coralee aws, "J'dan, go after her you dill."
Elsiana grins,"me to Sis, me too."
X'ner watches quietly, not part of the gaggle of girls and certainly not involved in the mess the riders of the grown dragons managed to make.
J'dan blinks in surprise. She didn't hear? Thank Faranth... He stares after her as she leaves, though. "With... Elana?" Blink blink. "Daph, wait!" And he's off like a rocket after the greenrider.
