Welcome to Gaia! ::

Though it seemed as though it had been a long time coming, at last the best possible outcome had happened on those sands. At last! Though she'd been standing for turns now, maybe not nearly as many as she could have but enough of them, R'iz had watched the small girl he'd met mere months after arriving at High Reaches finally become a rider herself. Bossuth's trumpet of joy had been quiet, naturally, with so many babies on the sands even if both knew that there was no way he'd spook them.

Not after what had happened at the scarred up bronze's own hatching.

He'd once heard her say that she was a good luck charm for her friends, but it seemed the luck had finally stuck to herself. And he'd have a word with her father that he'd heard about and his brown that had instilled such cruel thoughts in her head soon enough. But here it was an hour already and while he knew that there was always a backup watching the new Weyrlings come enter the feast, R'iz did heave a sigh. In his hands he twisted and turned something about, an older piece of jewelry he'd made for a different dragon.

It was a hand-me-down for now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't be making new things in the future. His gold eyes scanned the crowd again and finally lit upon the short curly brown hair of his young friend and he grinned happily. She was right at home with that pale beauty of a green by her side.

"Nala!" He gave a shout and waved as Bossuth, far up on his ledge and removed from most of the festivities by choice sent a wave of happiness and love to the new pair.

Up on his ledge Bossuth rumbled, his head lifting so that he could look out over the Bowl towards where everyone was gathered and he gave a snort. Nalacko was important to both his Radish and himself and while he was in no mood to congregate with other older dragons on the fire heights and gossip about the proceedings and what had happened at the hatching, he still loved her in his way. It's just that he'd have time later to meet her green one on one when there was space for him to be actually present so he sent a small press of happiness her way once more and proceeded to lay down and sleep the night away.

"Sorry Boss isn't quite perky tonight, his scars are making him stiff so he'll meet Feidemeth here soon." R'iz returned the large green hatchling's bow with one of his own and when he was bent over far enough he slipped what had been in his hands over her head quickly. When he was straight once more he had a roguish grin on his face. "It's a little bit large on her but I think she'll grow into it and out of it in about two days with how big she is. I replaced the beads on it with ones that'd match her instead of Bossuth. Lucky for me you gave me so many a few months back."

He winked a gold eye at the pair of them.

"Oh does she? Well you should know I think really highly of her too, you as well." the bronzerider crossed his arms and beamed. "And for good reason too, you should see some of her good beads she makes, I'm spoiled even with the cast offs." He honestly hoped that she would have the time once she was graduated to continue, even if the output was less than when she was a Candidate, because R'iz admired Nalacko's skill.

"Congratulations to both of you, you're gonna do just awesome out there."
