Seaside Picnic [tag: Aisynn]

[hbk]

.::. Wingsecond F'ren.::.
of Brown Aloroth

F'ren touched a finger to his lips as he looked at the basket sitting on the small table in his weyr. There was a bottle of wine he'd filched from the Lower Caverns along with some fresh bread, cheese, and some fresh fruit. Even though he and Aisynn had finally gotten their feelings out in the open, they'd yet to even have a real date, and the Wingsecond was ready to learn more about the shy greenrider. After all, waking up in the furs together was a shardin' strange way to start a relationship. Maybe it worked for some people but it was all backwards for F'ren who preferred to actually get to know someone outside the bedroom.

Will you contact Shivath and see if Aisynn is ready?
Of course.

The brown dragon was perched on his weyrledge, riding straps already clinging to his muscled mahogany form.

Beautiful Shivath, F'ren would like to know if Aisynn is ready?

While a seaside picnic wasn't exactly the most original thing to do, it beat hanging out around the Weyr. As it were, F'ren had plenty to do as a dragonrider and as A'lez's Wingsecond that kept him plenty busy inside the Weyr. Whenever he had a chance to get outside into nature he wanted to take it. Besides that, going to the beach was pretty safe from Holdless, mostly because it was a location clear of trees so the dragons excellent vision would pick up on anyone approaching.

[Na Qaiah]

Aisynn had been busy all morning, she washed and oiled her beautiful Green Shivath and now she was waiting all strapped up and shinning while her rider got ready. Today was special and she took extra care in her grooming. She had even dared to ask the headwoman Emera for something that smelled nice. With a smile of understanding she was offered a bit of perfume, and then surprised her with something new to wear for the occasion. A dress that was loose fitting and full in the skirt, with a off the shoulder neck yoke and short sleeves. it was form fitting under her breasts and the rest fell to the floor. The skirt was wide enough to ride her Shivath without it riding to far up her legs. She would wear her leathers too and take them off when they got to where they were going.

Shivath was sunning herself on the ledge while hers got ready. She was humming quietly enjoying her riders happiness. She was glad that Aloroth's liked hers, she herself really liked the big brown Aloroth. If she was supposed to be jealous of her rider sharing her feelings with another, she didn't feel that way. Shivath knew her rider would always be hers and if sharing feelings with another human made her happy then Shivath was happy.

She had just swung her massive head back into the Weyr to see how Aisynn was doing when Aloroth bespoke her;

Beautiful Shivath, F'ren would like to know if Aisynn is ready?[/i][/color]
Yes, she is almost ready. She is putting on what she calls the 'finishing touches'. [/i][/color] Shivath answered with warmth.

Aisynnmine, Aloroth and F'ren want to know if you are ready.[/color] She passed on to her rider. It was rare that Shivath spoke another persons name, and the fact that she used F'ren's name instead of just his dragons name, wasn't lost on Aisynn.

Aisynn smiled at Shivath's message, nodding and looking at her self once more in the mirror, she slipped on her leather riding pants, and put her jacket on. Grabbing her gloves she headed for her waiting green. Stopping at the last minute to grab the small basket she herself had picked up this morning, she double checked to see if the wine glasses and the pitcher of Klah and cups were securely wrapped so they wouldn't break.

The kitchen staff let her know F'ren had been in earlier and what he had picked up, but he didn't have the wine glasses. Aisynn herself felt the Klah would be most welcome. The last thing she picked up was a bag with a blanket and towels. She wasn't real sure where they were going, but she knew she wanted a swim, and to swim you needed to be able to get dry. She attached the basket and bag onto Shivath's riding straps and vaulted up using the offered fore leg.

She was so glad that F'ren had come to visit that day. Once they got past her being so shy, thanks to a few sips of wine, they managed to talk over their experience and feelings. Just knowing that F'ren didn't like to start any relationship from a casual roll in the bed furs, really helped her relax. She wanted to get to know this brownrider much better. It helped that Shivath liked the big brown Aloroth.

A picnic on the beach, it was all too wonderful, and it was a beautiful day for one.. Checking to make sure she was securely strapped in, She gave Shivath the go ahead to leave the ledge. The green launched herself gracefully off their ledge and winged up toward Aloroth's ledge. She bugled happily to the waiting pair and to the watch dragon as she headed skyward. Laughing Aisynn waved to F'ren as they winged upwards past his ledge. Shivath leveled off out of the way of any dragon that would come in from between, and waited for Aloroth to join them.

[hbk]

F'ren smiled as he saw Aisynn and Shivath flit passed, Aloroth as well crooned to the passing pair, the giant beast shifting from side to side with impatience. The Wingsecond laughed as he checked once more to make sure the picnic basket was secure and then vaulted to his mount's neckridge. With nimble fingers the man made quick work of his riding harness.

Let's go!
Finally!

Laughing at his dragon's impatience, F'ren braced himself as Aloroth crouched back on his powerful haunches and then sprang skyward, soaring at great speed towards the deep blue sky before tilting his wings to hover near Shivath.

We'll see you and yours out of /between/, Shivath! Passing along the coordinates once more, just for safety, Aloroth flew a dragons length away and then betweened.

[Na Qaiah]

Shivath was vibratng with excitement, crooning back at Aloroth she carefully maintained her distance. Upon receiving the coordinates she waited until their friends blinked between before turning her long neck around so she could look at Aisynn.

I am ready aisynnmine, I know where we are going.[/color] The pretty green said as she relayed the picture Aloroth gave her. Can we PLEASE go now?[/color] She asked her eyes whirling in pleasure.

Laughing, Aisynn patted Shivath on the neck. Lets join the boys shall we? Aisynn asked as she gave her the go ahead and the pair winked out of site. Coming back from between with a loud pop, Aisynn gasped in pleasure at where they were. It was beautiful. Shivath warbled her pleasure at the site of clear blue seas and lovely white beaches to sun on.

Aloroth had already landed and it looked like Fred was removing his riding straps. Shivath, circled around once to give her rider the pleasure of an arial view. It was also habit to check out their surroundings for safety. The pair landed daintily not far from Aloroth. Shivath didn't stop to let her rider off until she had moved them next to the big brown, only then did she lower herself carefully onto the sand. Laughing, Aisynn dismounted and started removing things off her riding straps. Once she had removed this straps, she patted her green on the shoulder. Go swim and play you silly thing. Aisynn told her.

That was all Shivath needed, she leaped into the air and swapped ends before bounding like a weyrling toward the water. She bounded three times before making a sleek dive into the water, not only showing off how agile she was but making a big splash while she was at it. Catch me if you can Aloroth![/color]

"Show off." Aisynn said softly with a grin. Shaking her head at the green's antics she picked up her basket and headed for where F'ren was waiting. "I brought a large blanket and a few other goodies. Where shall we put it?" She asked him as she walked up to the handsome man. She put her basket down next to his then wrapped her arms around his waist as she looked out over the water checking on her playful green.

[hbk]

Aloroth would have purred if he could have as he watched Shivath dive into the water, the ripple of her muscles making his blood heat. As quickly as would allow the brown joined Shivath in the water, crooning to her as he used his long, mahogany wings to treat through the water.

Oh, I'll catch you. He assured her.

Back on the beach F'ren watched the two dragons with a smile as he spread a blanket for him and Aisynn to share. He situated the blanket so that he could have a view of the ocean and the dragons, and also a view of the surrounding area in the event that they had some unexpected visitors.

F'ren had been out with Marle, a member of the Dragon Shield, when some of the Holdless had taken Logan, the Captain, and he certainly wasn't anxious to relive any of those memories. There was a reason why they had the Dragon Shield and F'ren was just happy that it was something he had to deal with every day.

"The weather today turned out perfect for a picnic." The brownrider commented, shooting a glance up at the blue skies.

[Na Qaiah]

Aisynn took her time getting settled and putting things on the blanket, she opened her basket for the wine glasses then looked up when F'ren commented on the beautiful day. "It's a perfect day, are you going to open the wine? Give me a moment in the weeds,m I'll be right back." She said as she stood up.

Going behind a large clump of beach grass, she stripped off her riding leathers and smoothed out the long full dress she wore under them. She was glad she chose to wear it, the light breeze caught the skirt part and sent it rippling over her legs. Even though it was warm the lightness of the material kept her cool.

Returning she folded her riding gear and set it aside. She bent to take off her boots and decided to enjoy the sand between her toes. She noticed F'ren was still standing where she left him a few moments before. "Hey you!" She called, "Are you going to open the wine?" She asked again. She couldn't wait to see what he thought of her attire.

[hbk]

F'ren had been lost in thought as he watched Aloroth covorting with Shivath in the water. The brown obviously enjoyed the green's company. Even though he still chose to fly other greens around the Weyr when they rose, he always preferred the company of Shivath outside of mating flights.

When he heard Aisynn's call he turned and immediately he took in the clothing change. While F'ren was man enough to find riding leathers attractive on a woman, he was also man enough to admit that the way the dress the greenrider had on now flowed over the curves of her body was enough to make his mouth water.

"A change of clothes I see." F'ren remarked as he dropped onto the spread blanket beside of Aisynn, his eyes still roving over her as he admired her figure.

Glancing back up, the brownrider reached up and brushed a finger tip across the woman's cheek, "You look beautiful."

[Na Qaiah]

Aisynn leaned into F'ren when he touched her face. She wrapped her arms around his waist and tucked her head under his chin in a loving embrace. She was glad she had taken the headwomans suggestion and wore the dress. She was surprised on how much his comment effected her. "I'm glad you like it." She murmered.

Shivath ducked under the water coming up behind Aloroth. Something about his slowly moving tail was hard to resist. She gave it a yank before disappearing under the water. She was enjoying their free day, and the company was good too. She knew Aloroth flew other greens when they rose, but he chose her company the rest of the time. She wasn't jelous, it was how it was. Soon she would rise and it would be different then. If only for a little while.

Suddenly shy, Aisynn moved away to put a few things from the picnic basket out on the blanket. "Wine? Would you open it please? I could really use some." She asked her face turning red at where her thoughts were going.

[hbk]

F'ren was amused by the blush he saw riding on Aisynn's beautiful cheeks. It wasn't as if they'd never been together, of course it had been under influence of Issarith's mating flight, but still the greenrider was shy. F'ren merely found it charming, and more than a bit refreshing. It seemed every woman in the Weyr wanted to be some forward, weyrhopper, which just made F'ren wrinkle his nose in distaste.

As the woman suggested, F'ren reached for the wine out of the basket and cracked it open, "Wine sounds perfect." He agreed, there was nothing like sipping on a good red wine while staring out at the ocean and simply enjoying some relaxation. It seemed that the Weyr these days was always tense, whether over the Holdless, or the ever growing tension between the riders that supported J'dlaem and Sakorai, and the riders that supported D'seus and Suynie.

Pouring Aisynn a generous glass, F'ren held it out to the greenrider, "Here you are."

[Na Qaiah]

Taking the glass from F'ren she waited until he poured himself one. "A toast!" Aisynn offered. "To friendships, good company and Dragons!" She said raising her glass waiting for the handsome caring man in front of her to clink glasses with her before taking a sip.

Even though they had been as close as two people could be, it was still new for Aisynn. She hadn't taken any of the other riders up on the offer of a romp in bed. It seemed greenriders had a reputation of doing just that. She wasn't like that at all, F'ren was her first. Her mother had told her about men such as F'ren, but Aisynn didn't believe her until now. Not that all dragonriding men were rude, crude and socially unexceptable, they weren't. But they sometimes acted like all a green rider was for was a good ride.

Was she wrong to hope for something better? Was she wrong for hanging on to her belief that there was more to being a greenrider then the reputation they had? She didn't want the . whole Weyr thinking she was a loosey goosey. Aisynn wasn't sure where this was going with F'ren. She decided to relax today and just let those thoughts go where they wanted. Today she was with her best friend and she was going to enjoy it to the fullest. It's about time you did that aisynnmine. You deserve to relax and just enjoy things for a change.[/color] Came the reply from the water.

I want to sun myself for awhile Aloroth, are you coming too?[/i][/color]Shivath asked the big brown coyly.

[hbk]

F'ren raised his glass as well in toast before lowering it to his lips and taking a generous sip. The wine was excellent, but the brownrider found himself far more interested in the greenrider beside him. Reaching in to the basket, the dragonrider smiled, "Grape? It'll go great with the wine." He said as he extended his hand and offered her the fruit.

It was obvious to F'ren that Aisynn was nervous, but he didn't blame her. He did vow, however, that by the end of the day she would know that her trust was safe in him. He would never hurt her and he would certainly do everything in his power to make her feel relaxed around him.

I would gladly sun with you any time, beautiful Shivath. Aloroth followed the green dragon up onto the warm sands of the beach.

[Na Qaiah]

Feeling a bit silly, Aisynn took the grape gently between her teeth her eyes meeting his before she turned bright red and started laughing. She almost choked on the grape, she didn't know why all of a sudden it was funny she just couldn't help it. She didn't hesitate to get a grape and offer it to F'ren herself the same way he offered it to her. This was fun even if she did think it silly laughter was good, right?

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I found that funny, I couldn't help it. Grape?" She asked her face still pink. "It's beautiful here, peaceful and quiet. I think the kids are liking it too." She said jesturing toward the dragons that were coming onto the beach. Shivath shook all over sending water droplets showering the humans on the blanket. A very un-dragonlike laugh could be heard from her as she checked things over before settling down in the sand not far from her person.

I think its wonderful here too aisynnmine.[/color] Shivath giving a huge yawn as she waited for Aloroth to join her.

Laughing at the shower she got, Aisynn relaxed a bit more. Taking another sip from her wine glass she felt the liquid start to warm the pit of her stomach. "We better eat some of this food before it starts to spoil or it draws attention to itself by inviting unwanted pesty visitors." She said waiting for F'ren's responce.
