Easath glided across the weyrbowl, tailed by R'lyr's bronze and blue fire lizards. Circling above the lake, he came in for a graceful landing, alighting by the shore. The fire lizards, who had been carrying a bucket of cleaning sand between them, set it down by Easath and the went to play in the water.
R'lyr carefully stepped down from Easath's back, using the blue's foreleg as a step. Even though he couldn't see, he knew exactly where to step, and he jumped to the ground just as nimbly as a sighted rider. Easath waded into the water, splashing happily while the flitts twirled around him.
You'll keep an eye on my clothes, won't you? R'lyr asked, stripping down to his bathing trunks and leaving the rest of his clothes in a pile on the shore. He was always paranoid someone would play a stupid joke and try to hide them, and he didn't want to go back across the weyrbowl in nothing but a soggy pair of trunks.
Easath sighed. Of course, mine. No one will take them. Come in and swim now.[/color] He thought his rider was being a little grumpy, but he decided not to say anything. R'lyr stepped gingerly into the water, using his dragon as a guide rail so he didn't slip if the water suddenly became deep.
There's no one else here, right?
Not yet, anyway...[/color]
