R'daavi and Koaluth's Weyr

"If you eat it, I'll be your best friend..." R'daavi pleaded with Koaluth to begin chewing the firestone which all the other weyrling dragons were doing. It is nasty. "You're only saying that because you haven't tried it!" R'daavi said. Then you do it! I won't! "You will, I'll slip it to you when you aren't expecting it, or you can just do it like everyone else!" Koaluth gave off a chuffle and raised her head high enough that R'daavi couldn't reach it. "Koa, you are intolerable." R'daavi looked around and noticed that all the eyes of the class were on him and Koaluth. You are going to eat it, belch out fire, and be like everyone else. Please? Okay. What were we doing? Oh, flight practice? Good! "Koa!!"

Back to the hatching or read ON for the Adult stage!

Well, she didn't. Not a bite of the horrid stuff passed over Koaluth's lips until she was a full grown and very fertile green! Koaluth and R'daavi share that at least, the desire to, um, mate... Look at him! He's nice. "He's too skinny." But that other one you said was too plump. Make up your mind! "You can't go choosing my partners, Koaluth, as much as I could ever choose yours." R'daavi shrugged and patted the green on her shoulder. "But you can try." If I find a good mate you can share their rider, can't you? "Only if they'll have me, remember browns and blues are usually ridden by men. Who aren't 'like' me." I think I understand. What about a blue ridden by a lady? Wouldn't you like that? "I'd live with it..." He said, and they flew back to the Protectorate to join the Artistic Bent wing!
