Howdy, New Girl (Chellinda)

[Thorney]

Tugging a shirt over his tall, lanky form, H’seo tucked the edge into his breeches, slipping his belt on afterwards. As he pulled the end through, tightening and fastening the buckle, he grinned, wondering what his afternoon would be like. Running a hand through his short-cropped hair, the bluerider strode out to his ledge, his dragon awaiting him patiently. As drills had ended half a candlemark ago, Reinth was gliding back to their weyr lazily when the blue had suddenly tilted his head to the side, and his rider could feel curiosity and then surprise in his thoughts.

Of course. Mine shall meet her.

Scowling lightly, the wingrider questioned his bonded to find out a new greenrider was arriving at Cerulean, and since that sharding 'farmboy' knew so much about....well, everything, he could show her around. Although, it was indeed true that no one knew the island in quite the same way H'seo did, since he spent much of his leisure time exploring and hunting. And so, H'seo had quickly cleaned up, washed his hair, and decided to put something a little nicer than his flight jacket. Usually, he would have been out hunting by now, but he didn't mind taking time to show the new rider around.

Bounding up onto his dragon's outstretched foreleg and then sliding across his shoulders in one smooth, practiced motion, H'seo slapped the blue on his muscled neck affectionately. Lets go, partner.

Leaping from the ledge, Reinth glided the short distance down, landing in front of the weyrhall. Once there, the wingrider dropped down and landed in a crouch, rising fluidly to his full, obnoxious height of 6'5". Leaning against his blue's leg and crossing his arms, the two of them waited for the girl, their new searchrider, trading jokes and small talk.

Beautiful, isn't it? Chellinda sighed in contentment aboard her dragon as the pair appeared a good distance above the Weyr from between.

Actually I'd say it's more pretty than anything. And oh, look at the lovely blue they've got waiting for us! Nessirith wasted no time in bulging her hello to the Reinth. Why, HELLO long-blue-eth - have you been waiting here for us? How very sweet of you!

Landing with all the grace one could expect from the lithe little green, Chell made no hurry to dismount, taking another look about the place before she did so. On the ground she was used to being considered tall for a woman, but shards, compared to that bluerider she might as well have been a midget. With one eyebrow raised in bemusement as she looked him over, Chell went to introduce herself before the hesitation could be called rude.

"I'm Chell, and this over-excited little thing is Nessirith. We're supposed to be your new Searchriders, if you'll have us."

I'm petite, not little. Nessirith couldn't help but add on as she tilted her head towards the larger blue.

As the two boys bantered back and forth, they were not paying attention to the skies, and so did not see the green burst into the air above. At her bugle, both rider and dragon lifted their heads, Reinth returning her greeting with a ringing trumpet of his own. Upon her greeting, the shy blue felt that same irritating nervousness overcome him as it always did when speaking with females, his backwardness around them not easily overcome. The green seemed to be of the friendly persuasion, however, instead of the amorous type, and Reinth relaxed. Long-blue-eth? Oh, his rider got a chuckle out of that one when he repeated it.

Greetings, green sister. If dragons could blush, he likely would have at her ‘sweet’ comment, but as it stood, the blue was safe. It did not keep him from stuttering slightly, however, as he replied. T-thank you. Me and Mine are here to s-show you and Yours about. Watching as the other dragon made a graceful landing, the blue bobbed his head in her direction and tried to get over his embarrassment. Welcome to our weyr, sister. I am Reinth.

For his part, H’seo waited patiently for the searchrider to dismount, her eyes wandering over Cerulean in a way he was accustomed to. Most people found the weyr and island quite beautiful when seeing it for the first time, and so the man could understand her need to gaze about. The bluerider was, in every sense, a ‘good ole boy’, never impatient, never rude, and certainly never in a foul temper. He would never be a leader, for he had not the qualities, but you weren’t going to beat H’seo when it came to being an amiable, good-hearted person. When her gaze switched to him instead, the tall, lanky rider grinned. Yea, he was used to that reaction, too. His height was quite unusual.

Inclining his head as the searchrider approached, H’seo grinned again. “Howdy, Chell, I’m mighty pleased to make your acquaintance.” He drawled. “ I’m H’seo, and this here’s Reinth. He ain’t got the sense of a wherry when it comes to women, but he’s a good dragon.” Ignoring the blue’s snort, the lanky wingrider continued. “We’d be glad to have ya, lady rider. I’m here to show you around. Your wish is my command.”

And I have more sense than a wherry. Reinth tacked on, arching his neck so he could gaze at the other dragon with more ease. Much like his rider, the blue was built lanky, with long limbs that made him more agile than others of his color, but not as strong.
