Only a couple of days of weyrlinghood, and R'mer had already lost a few pounds. And gained so much.
In a rare moment of free time, he sat on the edge of Tinth's wallow, the blue's still small head in his lap. Actually, half the dragon would fit, but he was trying to discourage that. Pretty soon, Tinth would be way too big.
He wondered exactly how big the blue dragon would grow. He'd made some guesses based off of the Weyr's adults. Perfect size for him, he decided. Everything about Tinth was perfect.
He supposed he should have expected a blue. It fit. And of course, now, Tinth was the only imaginable dragon for him. "They're all perfect," he pronounced, sure that every rider would agree.

T'lat was had enter the barracks with Iron on his shoulders and Hansth at his heels . He saw R'mer sitting with his dragon and decide to go talk to him. So he walked over to were R'mer was and sat down next to him. Hansth put his head in T'lat's lap and T'lat began to scratch the little bronze's eye ridges which made Hansth croon in affection toward T'lat. Iron sat on T'lats shoulders looking over at the blue dragon. T'lat then having heard what R'mer had said. Said to him " Yes my friend I would have to agree with you prefect in every way."

R'mer grinned. "Well, more accurately, Tinth is perfect for me and Hansth is perfect for you."
He felt absolutely no envy of the bronzerider at all. He was in the right place, a wingrider, free to pursue other, more intellectual pursuits rather than having to worry about leading the Weyr. A pause. "What do you think of those barred dragons?"
He supposed they were just a weird variant on green. Tinth would probably be interested in them eventually, although he'd rather have a cute -male- greenrider for himself, he reckoned. Still...

T'lat smiled at R'mer and said to him " You are right that there is no other dragon that I would want more than my Hansth." He looked at his dragon with affection and Hansth said to T'lat There is no one esle that I would want more than you ethier Mine. T'lat repiled " I know my friend. I know." He then smiled and siad " About those barred dragon they are diffently intersting, but I got my own reasons to be interested in them." He laughed at the though of what he was thinking at that moment.

R'mer laughed. "What, you think they have cute riders?" the boy inquired.
"I still think girls kinda have cooties. Am starting to think it may be permanent." He grinned a bit. "My dad...thought so." With that memory, the grin faded.
It didn't matter here, at the Weyr, if he -was- gay. It was -fine- to be gay here, and almost expected if you rode blue or green and were male.

T'lat smiled as R'mer asked him and he smiled and replied " Yeah you could say that." He laughed as he said this.
He looked at R'mer as the boys smile faded form his face and he said " I would not worry about that R'mer. There is nothing wrong with that and anyone who has told you diffenrt was a dimglow anyway."
Iron then chriped at R'mer and flew and landed on his shoulders and rubbed his head on R'mer's cheek.

R'mer smiled a bit at Iron. "I was just not what my dad wanted me to be, that's all. Now he can be proud of me as a dragonrider and not have to worry about my personal life."
Of course he would have been prouder if R'mer had Impressed bronze, or even brown or tan, but having a bluerider son...and that son not around to embarrass him...hopefully that would make his dad, well. Grow up.

T'lat looked at R'mer and he pulled out his knife and began to spin it very fast. He then looked at him and said " Well it's just that I believe that it should not matter to you what others think of you, but only what you think of yourself. Of course I did not have a relationship with my parents. I kept to myself and I mean kept to myself." He pointed at Iron and said " That was the creature that I mostly talked to anyway." He then thought about Steel, but then decide he would never talk about that.

R'mer glanced at the firelizard. "I want to get one of those." He laughed. "Every time I think of it, Tinth asks me to get him a little blue. He's being quite silly about it. But I can't get across to him that even if I get a small egg it's just as likely to be a green...or maybe a barred."
If there were barred dragons then sooner or later, there would also be barred firelizards. The other new colors existed in both, after all.

T'lat smiled at this and siad " Yey presonally I have always wanted anthoer one. It would be good to have antoher little friend to keep me and and Iron company." T'lat looked at Iron and Iron chriped back at him in agreement. " It would be intersting to see if there were any of the new colors among the firelizards."

"There's violet and tan ones, so..." R'mer shrugged a bit. "Whatever's causing the new colors is clearly affecting both. I'm curious to see the wher clutch when that Hatches, too."
He wanted to see if the whers came out in weird new colors too. A violet wher, that would be odd! He ran a hand along Tinth again. "Not that it matters. The new colors all seem healthy dragons, so..."

T'lat just shrugged and said " Yeah I agree there problery will be some new colored whers aslo. I would not be suprised." T'lat looked down at Hansth and began to pet the little Bronze again. Iron at this time and flew bake over and landed on T'lat's shoulders. T'lat reached up with the other hand and began to pet Iron with his other hand.

R'mer grinned. "Maybe you shouldn't get another one. You'll run out of petting hands."
He was, of course, still petting Tinth. The young dragon seemed to greatly appreciate the physical touch of his lifemate. Sensual creatures, R'mer eventually decided. It would be a long time before Tinth was capable of more than being an overgrown pet...but the longing to fly with his dragon suddenly overcame him.

T'lat just laughed at this and siad " I don't think I would be worried about that. They would just have to learn to share."
As T'lat petted Hansth the bronze raised his head and nuzzled T'lat affectionatly. T'lat just luaghed has his dragon did this. He loved his new friend. He knew that with Hansth around lonelyness would never be a factor in his life again.

"Or your dragon will take both hands anyway." R'mer winked at the bronze weyrling.
"I'll be glad when they don't need -quite- as much constant looking after." They would eventually hunt for themselves and stuff, at least. And fly.
R'mer had experienced flight once. He had not had such a strong desire to experience it again before Impressing, though. His dragon's instincts affecting his mind, perhaps.

T'lat laughed at this as he looked at Hasnth and said " No I think my new little friend is more then willing to share." He coutined to scrath Hansth's head. He said " Beside he wants me to get more firelizards." He then thought had the next thing and said " Me presonally I will miss Hansth being little like this. It gives me a easy excuse to spend all my time with him. Beside he is a bronze you know. Plus you know what that eventually means."

R'mer nodded. "I don't envy you," he said simply. "But yeah, we should enjoy them being babies while it lasts."
It wouldn't last that long. They would grow up quickly enough. "It's an odd feeling. I appreciate him being little, but I want to fly with him. Know what I mean?"
He glossed over the hint of T'lat's risk of ending up weyrleader...

T'lat repiled to R'mer " Personally I don't envy myself. I just wish that just becuase Hansth was bronze that people would not expect things out of me that I am not sure I can live up to." Hansth then crooned affectionaltly at T'lat and looked at him and said Do not worry Mine. I am sure you can do it. I will be with to help you. T'lat smiled at the bronze and said Thanks my little friend. He then looked at R'mer and said " Yet the fact he his a bronze makes me feel that much safer." Then Hansth moved and curled protectively around T'lat and said to him Of cousre Mine I will always keep you safe.
He then looked at R'mer and said " Rellay though to me he will always be my little Hansth." The bronze then playfully nugded T'lat making him fall back abit, but he cuaght himself and laughed. He then sat back up and repiled to R'mars next statement saying " Yeah I think I understand that. I have always wondered what it would be like to fly."

R'mer considered. "Would he have picked you if you couldn't?" He ran his hand along Tinth's neck. "I didn't really enjoy the flight here. I was too busy..."
The boy tailed off and looked away, towards his dragon. He is not here, Mine. the blue reassured.

T'lat just sighed then Hasth said to R'mer Of course I would have chosen him. He is Mine and that is the way it was meant to be. I don't care what he cant do. All that matters is that I wanted and choose him and now we are together. I believe that should be a good egough answer for you R'mer. The bronze then turned and nuzzled and crooned at T'lat with all the affection a dragon possessed for his rider showing in the bronze's softly whirling eye's. T'lat knew that Hansth had answered for him and that there was no need to say anything.
Then as T'lat listened to R'mer and heard him trail off he asked " You were too busy what R'mer? Don't worry I am your friend you can tell me."
