Welcome to Gaia! ::

Do you think that we will manage to get the food stores replenished with the fishing? Riamsoth asked as she walked down the beach the various Weyrfolk go about fishing.

“Probably not.” Sorentia admitted. She had come to the conclusion over the past few days. It seemed as if there were just more injuries and issues cropping up than fish being brought in. “It is going to take some time for all of us to learn what to do. Maybe in a few months we will be able to do it. But for now…it is causing a lot of injuries as far as I can tell.” They were looking about for edible critters on the beach that day.

Zegurath! How lovely to see you! Are they very nice sea wherries? Riamsoth was delighted to run into her sister. She considered the walk a success now even if they didn’t find the anything to feed the Weyr. It would be sad to not be able to provide for the Weyr but any time she saw Zegurath was a good day.

Sorentia waved happily at the greenrider pair. “You have quite the haul there! It will make some nice stew!” Stew was a good thing that made food go a long way, right? “We are trying to see if we can find some shellfish!” She gestured to the basket Riamsoth had with some clams in it and the shovel she was carrying.

Riamsoth bowed her head a little to look at Zegurath. Big is good. Ours can certainly use the change in food. Sorentia is getting rather tired of fish. At a thought she sent a message over to hers.

Sorentia was in the process of responding to Thaideem with a “Oh! That is great. I can go there and have Riamsoth shoo them away,” when she got the message. Hmm. “Or you could come with me and we could get some more wherries as well. Surely the dragons could carry some back for us.”

Onward my good friend! We shall conquer this beach! Riamsoth practically sang to Zegurath before prancing ahead. If they were going to do this, she planned to have fun. And maybe grab a snack or two. That would be helping the Weyr out, right? A little less to feed her in the future.

Sorentia smiled at Riamsoth's antics and gestured for Thaideem to lead the way. "I would like something besides a fish-dinner." She said, shuddering. "I am so tired of fish." Maybe they could get enough wherries that there could be something besides fish and stew. Maybe it was possible? She could hope anyway. "What have you been doing in the time between fishing and lessons lately?" She felt shy about asking. Was that to invasive? Sorentia was just curious. Maybe she shouldn't have. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to." She blurted before Thaideem could get upset.

Riamsoth slowed down so that she could walk next to Zegurath. We shall conquer the beach for the day and rule from the sea! Riamsoth told Zegurath enthusiastically. Unless you don’t like swimming? The gold dragon had lost all sight of why they were on the beach to begin with and was turning it into a play date.

Sorentia fell into step with Thaideem, unconsciously matching strides. “We have creative cooks but even they are running out of things to do with fish.” She agreed. “What would she do with her eavesdropping?” Sorentia was curious. Most dragons didn’t seem interested in eavesdropping on others. Riamsoth certainly wasn’t interested in invading anyone’s privacy.

We would rule because we can. Only for a short time though. Riamsoth assured Zegurath. We wouldn’t want to have to make beach decisions every day. That would be exhausting. She could hear the wherries now and picked up her pace a little. The appeal of what? Wherries or ruling? Ruling is just for fun. Don’t you ever want to claim somewhere as yours, if only for a short time? Wherries are tasty and can feed a lot of people. I hear that is important right now.

“Mindreading dragons that want to know everything. Sounds a little dangerous to those with secrets.” Sorentia could also hear the wherries now and grinned a little. “Not much farther now, is it?” She asked Thaideem. “How do you go about catching these?” Sorentia gestured to the one Thaideem was carrying. “Do we need surprise?” Eyeing the dragons, she wasn’t sure that was possible.
