Leilani and Diamoth's Weyr

Leilani's weyr was a busier place now that there was a dragon in it. First off, of course, Diamoth was the hungriest little girl in the world! Every time she woke from her little dragon naps, she demanded more meat! Someone on the hatching ground said that though she was small compared to the other queen that hatched, she might rival her in size sometime soon! "I don't doubt that," Leilani remarked. Lo'pez arrived to her weyr, with brown Lilioth at his side. "So," he said, smiling widely, "do you think that Lilioth would have a chance at catching your gold? If they weren't from the same clutch, that is?" Leilani winked and kissed her friend, "that would have to be ironed out when she is old enough to Fly, my dear. And now, we are not supposed to be flirting and playing anymore." Lo'pez's beautiful brown eyes turned almost sad, but he was only joking. He and Leilani had shared enough of each other in the past. He could wait for their dragons to grow up. "Besides," Leilani said, putting oil on Diamoth's skin, "if your lovely little Lilioth flies another gold, I will be there for you. I just pity that queen rider who loses you."

"How can you say that!" Leilani pleaded with the weyrling master to allow her to fly. "Your arm is not strong enough," he pointed out. "If you cannot grip the straps correctly you might fall. And then where would we all be? Without one gold rider, and soon without one gold dragon. That's where." Leilani huffed about the weyr for another few minutes. Her arm did sting so when she gripped her fingers together. "You could send for a healer."

So send for a healer she did. The only one she knew of. The one from Alabaster's inner caverns. He would have to come. She was aware that he rarely left the place, but she also knew he was far better at setting bones and making wounds like her broken wrist heal very quickly. She also detested him completely, but that was another story. She had someone send a flit to the Weyrhold, and shortly recieved the message back that he would be on his way. Grudgingly, the note added. She smirked. Of course he would be resistant. He apparently hated being around dragons. Something about his childhood, she guessed. But what she guessed and what really was true might have been very different things. The healer arrived and looked much paler than usual. The arch of her eyebrow asked the obvious question and Kalkin grunted. "I do not take travel very well, my dear Leilani. Let me see your arm before I fall over." The tall man examined Leilani's wrist and shortly sat her down with a mug of wine spiked with fellis. "I took the pain of getting it broken," she said, looking at the wine and halfway wondering if she might have called Lo'pez in just in case the good Healer decided she was more appealing than off limits. Kalkin looked at her and with a serious face told her, "you will probably not enjoy watching this, though. I will have to re-break it, and yes it will hurt quite a bit. So if you will, please drink up and when you are more tired I will set your wrist." She smacked her lips and drank. Warily, she watched and then her head began to nod. Right about then, Kalkin looked at her with a slight smile. "That is all it will take," he said. "Now, yell if you have to. Do not bother keeping it in." "You just like hearing people yell," she muttered, fuzzy with the fellis. "I do, at that," Kalkin replied while pushing his fingers over her wrist and moving the bones back to their right places. To her credit, Leilani did not shout out. She gritted her teeth and tears came to her eyes, but she remained steady. Diamoth outside her room however... RIDER! MY RIDER IS HURT!! To which Kalkin passed out. Unceremoniously he let out a gasping sound and fell face first onto Leilani's lap. Distantly, Leilani felt another dragon's mind. No! You must not do that! He cannot listen! His mind is... "What was-- what is he-- Are you okay?" Lo'pez arrived in the archway of Leilani's weyr, to see the dark-haired healer and his lover, somewhat oddly embraced. Leilani held her hand up, looked at it, and even though she knew the fellis was numbing her somewhat, she grinned. "Well at least he fixed my wrist before Diamoth assaulted his brain. What was that other dragon?" "Other... oh. Oh, I see. I'll take care of it." Lo'pez said mysteriously, and put Leilani to sleep, propped up Kalkin so he could hopefully sleep off whatever the dragon's mind did to him, and went to fetch someone to bring him back to Alabaster. Or to visit his own dragon, one which Leilani did not know of.
