Dragon> Niaryth senses that Arisvath's mind radiates the warmth of a hidden fire, fuzzy heat. << He's not. >>

Dragon> Niaryth senses that Arisvath's warmth is part of him -- it blazes and it burns, and then subsides again. << I am, >> he agrees, softly. << *Mechelle's mate*? R'hyn says he shall come. >>
You head through the narrow tunnel and into the bustling living caverns.
"I'm glad you're going to come with me Galieden," Serriena says. "Don't worry we'll find you a nice bed to sleep in even if it's.. mine. I can sleep on the couch. But I don't want you to throw up. If you do, I want you to find the privy." She looks over as R'hyn enters and nods to him. She steps towards him, placing a steadying arm on Galieden. "Galieden's been drinking.. some." That's polite. He is swaying and staggering around like a man about to pass out.
Mutsuka grins at the strangers, watching curiously.
R'hyn's hurried footsteps lead him across the caverns towards the collection of people, his face set into a nervous, worried expression. "The guest weyr is empty tonight," he says, very quickly, catching upon the conversation. "But-- whatever's easiest, I guess." His eyes take in the younger man, and he shakes his head. "What can I do?" Mutsuka isn't noticed, though only, most likely, thanks to the more distracting issues at hand.
Galieden blinks at Serriena, "Don't thow up, right, no prob... prom... Ok." Yeah he's not thinking too clearly either as he looks at R'hyn, "Get P'rin outa m' bed." Well he asked, Galie's taking him at his word, "Kick him out... don' b'long there... m' bed not his." Yeah, the cause of the drinking binge isn't hard to guerss either.
Serriena glances at the girl and shakes her head, "This is not something she should see." She tries to steer Galieden out towards the bowl. "I know hon. it's not easy when another man is in your bed but just think of that other woman who will be in your bed." She'll say anything.. even confusing things, to try and get him to calm down about P'rin in Mechelle's bed.
"Other wo-- Oh! Yes. A fine woman," R'hyn manages to get out, stuttering somewhat. "Very fine. Mm-mm. Just think of that woman. Come on, better go get her. Er, because bed sounds nice, doesn't it?"
Mutsuka grins. "I've seen my share, miss, I assure you." She gestures to her knot on her shoulder. "Mustsuka, newly posted winecraft apprentice. Sure there's nothing I can do to help? Nothing at all?"
Galieden blinks at Serri and he shakes his head, staggering sideways at the motion, whack right into the wall, "N' other woman in m'bed. Don' sleep wi' others. Wan't him... strangle." Oh yeah, not a facet of Galie that's seen often as his hands curl and those chest muscles bunch, "Outh bed, toss 'im nekked in the bowl, don' care outa m' bed... need new bed... an' a a door wi a lock. n' more oter men in m' bed." Yeah, he tries to think, but it's not working too well. It'd be funny if it weren't for the fact that his eyes show that the normally resilliant young man has been crying off some where on his own while he was drinking.
"Alright no other woman but you won't be hitting or strangling anyone or I'll have you held for disobedience to a weyrwoman. You promised Galieden." Okay so it's not really correct of Serriena to use his own promise against him but she will for the safety of her weyr. "Now come on. R'hyn and I have a bed prepared for you where you can sleep this off." She glances to Mutsuka and nods her head but the Weyrwoman doesn't say much back. It's not deliberate ignoring so much as the drunk man commands her attention to get him out of the caverns.
"That's Weyrwoman, not miss," R'hyn corrects Mutsuka, stuttering over the words. "Some respect, please. I think we'll be fine." It's not a deliberate attempt to block the apprentice out; rather, it's just difficult to include her, whilst he's attempting to coax Galieden out. "Come on. Nice and slow. We'll get some water for you to drink, too."
Mutsuka blinks. "Oh! Excuse me! I'm sorry..." She apologizes quickly, skittering over to a table and seating herself down.
Galieden straightens up at Serri's words, "G' work t' do... gotta make new bed... an a door wi a lock." So the thoughts have stuck, at least he's really rather passive when drunk, sdespite wanting to toss P'rin into the bowl naked. "Drag 'im outa bed by 'is toes." And the desire to drag P'rin out of his bed. He goes though, with Serri and R'hyn's sheperding, though once he does turn towards his workroom. But does anyone want to let a drunk near all those sharp pointy tools and knives he keeps in there.
"Nope nope, not that way, this way." Serriena takes one of Galieden's arms in an effort to keep him on the path towards the bowl. "You can make the door in the morning." She doesn't bother to ask him /how/ he thinks he'll get a door to stay on the smooth carved entrance to the inner weyr. Or find wood large enough to do it. "Come on Galieden. We have a nice soft bed and some cold water to help you with that sock in the mouth feeling."
R'hyn flushes brilliantly pink at Mutsuka's skittering -- the poor boy. "Come on, Galieden," he repeats, echoing Serriena. "It isn't far, and you'll feel much better when you get to sleep."
Galieden pads along sort of like a lost canine, shoulders drooping and that hang dog expression, "Mechelle... she won't keep 'in in m' bed... will she Serri?" okay so yeah that's another facet, the worry Mechelle will want the Bronzerider over him now as he moves along. The question is soft and quiet, but the hurt in it is deep and likely not something he's ask if he were sober as he moves out into the bowl with the senior Weyrwoman and the Weyrleader.
Serriena disappears through the narrow tunnel to the bowl.
Galieden disappears through the narrow tunnel to the bowl.
Arisvath> Galieden comes out of the narrow tunnel from the living caverns.
You head out through the narrow tunnel to emerge in the bowl.
"I don't think she will keep him in her bed. I didn't keep R'hyn in my bed did I?" Serriena tries logical arguments. "One flight doesn't mean anything but sex. They may be better friends but they aren't going to form a relationship without proper romancing." This assured as she steers him across the bowl. She stops for a moment and then points, "Galieden you see Niaryth and Arisvath?" The gold and bronze are draped together. "They adore each other but R'hyn and I?" She points to the Weyrleader, "We're just friends."
"No, no, no," eches R'hyn, quickly. "It doesn't mean anything. Mechelle still loves you, and won't leave you for him." He glances at Arisvath, then quickly, glances away, and moves to hurry along the group. "Come on. Everything will be better in the morning. You'll see."
Galieden blinks and tries to focus his eyes on the two dragons but they cross and his feet tangle together, nearly sending hin sprawlong, but for the grip Serri has on his arm... Selynth... curl up... with her..." No the moment of clear thoughts didn't last as he pads along, docile as a little herdbeast, "better morning... drag P'in head outa m' bed..." Whi's p'inhead... maybe his new name for P'

Whi's p'inhead... maybe his new name for P'rin? he's drunk, likely he won't remember most of this come the time when he wakes up.
Derien comes out of the narrow tunnel from the living caverns.
"Yes yes, in the morning though. Tonight you wouldn't stand a chance against even me," Serriena says to Galieden. "I bet I could blow you over with one breath." She smiles, keeping her voice pleasant and teasing, all the while her grip on him never falters as she leads him over to the guest weyrs. "R'hyn when we get in, I'll put him in the bed if you'll get the privy pot so if he does need to throw up, he can in that."
R'hyn nods his head rapidly - perhaps over rapidly, to agree with Serriena. "Yes. The privy pot. Will do. Come on, Galieden."
Derien comes in with his harp practicing the begining of Moreta's ride. He gets almost to the end of the first verse and the strums the wrong chord, "Oh Sharddit." Derien noticed the WL, the healer that birthed him and his mother before he looks around for a place to hide, he isn't supposed to be using cuss words.
Galieden gets led along, get along little doggies, by the hands guiding him, heading for the guest wyes quietly, "But... n' wind t'night." he says softly as he moves with the two leaders. "M'bed's softer... but can't have m' bed..." his eyes are starting to droop, yep he'll pass out shortly.
Serriena is unfortunately Derien's mother and hearing him curse, she looks over. "Derien what are you doing home so late?" She gives him a stern look. "If you've been swimming again I'm going to tan your britches." She removes her arm from Galieden to jerk her thumb back towards the living caverns. "Get in there right now. I want an explanation from you when I'm through!"
Galieden heads into the slightly detached portion of the bowl that houses the ground weyrs.
"Wait grab him R'hyn," Serriena's attention is distracted as she runs after Galieden when he stagers back through the ground weyrs.
Serriena heads into the slightly detached portion of the bowl that houses the ground weyrs.
Derien hides over behind Niaryth and smiles at the gold, "You won't tell mama I was cussing would you?"
You head over to the slightly detached area of the bowl that houses the ground weyrs and the council room.
Arisvath> Niaryth looks down at Serriena's little, raising her head from where it was twined with Arisvath's. She tilts her head at him, then looks over nudging Arisvath as if to say, 'look what came to us... can we keep it?'
Galieden looks around a bit and he blinks beofer staggering ttowards the guest Weyr, not wanting anywhere near Mechelle's weyr at this point.
"Galieden where are you- yes go that way," Serriena is quick to catch up to the man, turning him towards the guest weyr. "Come on now."
Galieden heads in through the tunnel to the guest weyr.
Arisvath> Derien smiles as he sits by Niaryth and began to play a song about a beautiful gold dragon that eluded all the males for the longest flight in Pern's history. It took all day starting a sunrise and ending at sunset. He replayed the dragons names in the song with Niaryth's and Arisvath's names.
Arisvath> Niaryth nudges at Derien softly. His mama told him to go into the living cavern and she doesn't wish the little to get into trouble.
Arisvath> Derien smiles at Niaryth and gives her a big hug. How could he have ever not liked this gold before he starts towards the living Caverns.
