Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vosin was excited this morning. She'd heard her twin had a rare day off from her wing and was intending to kidnap her to spend some quality sister time together. The goldrider was so proud of the work her sister did, and felt it should be justly rewarded. So the past couple days she'd been working to get everything ready for this day.

Everything was packed, hidden, and ready on Killakeeth when she had the dragon send the message to Kelilayth that she required her sister and him ready to move out. Vosin sat in her straps and tried not to fidget like a weyrling rider on her first ride as she waited for her twin.

When she'd heard her twin's rest day had fallen with her's Vosin had arranged for them to go out. It had been kinda vague at the time when they first planned it. Then a chance comment from someone as she'd been walking by had inspired her to throw a surprise picnic for her twin. It was just the kind of spurious thing she would do. However, since Vesin didn't know about it, she had had to play both roles and fill in where her twin usually did. She'd bounced ideas off several people to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. The woman turned slightly from her seat to patch the covered packages strapped to her dragon's withers affectionately.

Vosin, Keli says that they are on their way. Vosin grinned and gave the gold the mental command to take to the air. It was hard to miss Killakeeth leaving. The large gold lumbered up into the sky and she looked around until she spotted her twin's brown. Excellent. Give the coordinates would you? They'd talked about which beach to go to, but Vosin had a different idea. They'd go to one that was less populated and more likely to have wild firelizard clutches so they could search.

She waved to the familiar red-headed woman on the brown as they drew closer. Vosin waited for them to acknowledge their new destination before she told Killakeeth to take them there.

She wanted to rub her hands together with glee when the brown calmly accepted the slight change to the plans. Thankfully she was holding onto her straps and couldn't, lest she give the game away. There was that brief moment of dark and cold before they popped out above a beautiful beach with a large lagoon for the dragons to swim in.

It didn't take long for Ves to realize something was amiss when they got there go. Vos grinned with delight. "Land and I'll tell you!" It was so hard to shout on the wing. She gestured down to the beach, and had Killakeeth glide down. The view was awesome! Vos inhaled deeply and enjoyed the view, though the trip didn't last long.

Once down, she unstrapped and walked back to undo the packages attached to Killakeeth's sides. Carefully she lowed them down. "Grab those would you Ves? What are we doing, you ask?" Vos gave her twin a green eyed wink. "We are having a picnic of course! Plus we can go beach combing." With the last box and wrapped bundle down, the woman slid down the foreleg of her large gold. Her personal favorite way to down from those tall withers. She felt sad for those with smaller dragons who couldn't really slide down. It was a thrill to have that moment of sliding down.

Killakeeth rumbled happily. She'd go swim and then stretch out to her full length in the sands to catch all the sun. The weyr's beaches were usually full and sometimes she couldn't spread out as much as she liked with all the smaller dragons around. Not that she didn't give them looks that made them scooch over for her. The water looks wonderful Keliayth. Care to join me for a swim? She did enjoy the company of her rider's twin's dragon. The beach was plenty big enough for the both of them.

Vos huffed on her nails and then buffed them against her shirt proudly. "And I snuck it all by you," she gave her twin a wink. Honestly she was quite pleased she'd managed to pull this off. It helped to have Killakeeth covering her back when the gold could be convinced to instead of napping. Vos was pleased by the spontaneity of her twin's hug and gave her a fierce hug back. "You've been working so hard for your wing, that I wanted to be sure something was done for you." Who knew if those rough and tumble boys were taking proper care of her twin.

Killakeeth watched the two women beside her fondly. Enjoy your lunches. We'll be swimming. She gave a dragon laugh and turned to wade out into the water. Lifting herself off the beach to dive into deep water would have been, but far too much work for the large gold. And your company makes the day brighter, she told the brown, pleased with his flattery. Once deep enough she dove into the water, sending a small tidal waves up towards the beach.

"Have fun!" She waved to the gold, then grabbed the rest of the packages quickly to move them away from the oncoming wave. As it was her feet and lower legs still got wet. "Ugh. Remind me to put her on a diet." I'm just a large dragon. Vosin headed towards one of the still dry patches on the beach.

Vosin moved slowly up the beach toward the edge where some trees cast a nice spot of shade. Thankfully it had been high enough to avoid a soaking from the wave. She set the packages down and fished out a large blanket for them to sit on and have their picnic. She smiled at her twin. "Even I know nothing can always stay the same." In truth she was proud of her twin for the work she did for the weyr. Mainly because she knew she could never do the same job. At least not as well as Vesin.

She started setting baskets out on the blanket and laughed. "Oh a little of this and a little of that. Searching mainly." Vosin tried to contribute in the best way that she could. Other than being the occasional layer of eggs. "Got lost in a mine in Nabol. That was fun." She set out the different dishes she'd brought. Many were both of their favorites.

Vos snickered, "so true." She offered her twin a plate and helped herself. This place was perfect. Great food, good company, serene beach, dragons playing in the water. There wasn't much more she could ask for. Well one or two things, but not that needed to be here with her and her twin. "They treating you all right?" She'd knock some heads together if she found out they weren't.
