It was an unusually quiet morning, Brylorea supposed, as she and Voluspath crossed the great Weyrbowl for the sparkling waters of the lake. Up above, Rukbat was shining magnificently in a clear blue sky. The weather was comfortably cool, comfortably warm as well and Brylorea found herself thoroughly content with her life. Voluspath was growing marvelously and their transition from Weyrling to a proper goldpair was coming a long a little better. For the past few sevendays, Brylorea had gone over what little records were left over from the Weyrs of old, learning what she could about the responsibilities a Weyrwoman traditionally had whenever she had some free time.
As for right now, the gold had just finished her morning meal and, as usual, had managed to smear gore and blood all over her neck, stomach, and head. While the deep maroon of coagulated blood was becoming on her clear gold hide, it stunk and made Voluspath look like some raving mad dragon. So, it was bath time!
Hopefully, the young woman though, a Candidate or two would come along and help her give the nearly Turn old gold a bath. She was too large to bathe properly within a reasonable time now.

A huge shadow loomed overhead as a dragon appeared from between, circling slow in decent. Inolyn had volenteered to visit the Harper hold for a mixture of business and pleasure. Harpers knew everything on Pern, a trait expecially useful for holders who could not admit they were in trouble. Not to mention the weyr might enjoy new songs, news of possible Gathers and records that might pove useful. It wasn't exactly a task for a queenrider, but then again Jorindath and Inolyn weren't exactly a typical weyrwoman/queen pair.
My talons are dirty from having to land in winter sludge. Shall we bathe? If Inolyn was too busy to help her wash the mud off, the violet tended to swim in the lake by herself. Jorindath rarely ever was forceful with anyone and understood if sometimes there were more important things then dirty hide.
"Of course, my dearest violet. I haven't anything to store away." Removing the riding straps and with an affectionate slap she sent the violet to frolic in the water while she shed her riding gear. The lake was rarely ever left vacant for long with weyrlings running around everywhere but it wasn't till she had pulled off her helmet that she noticed today it was Bry and her young gold. Searching her memory she couldn't recall a time that she had properly and informally spoken with Pern's second gold.
"Good morning!" Inolyn shouted, as she closed the gap between them.
