Alone Again (Open)

[rorako]

((OOC: I'm planning on R'rako playing nice with someone for now. He needs one person that doesn't hate him.))

R'rako sat scrubbing his dragon with the oil he was provided. He was only back at Telgar Weyr for about a week now, and already most of the Weyr despised him. They had all heard how he had disrespect both the Weyleader and Weyrwoman. They all hated him for it. Luckily, Rynith was making plenty of friends with fellow dragons. As long as the blue was happy, R'rako was happy. The blue made a purring sound, enjoying the cleaning attention he was getting from his rider.

You like that, don't you?

Yes mine, actually being cleaned by you feels quite excellent.

R'rako smiled, happy that his dragon was enjoying himself. After a couple more hours of scrubbing in the lake, he finally let the blue play while the rider collapsed on the ground. He wasn't tired physically, but mentally he was ready to give up. The Weyrwoman never assigned him a weyr to stay in, so he had been living outside the weyr nearby. Like she suggested he was watching Pyralis practice, though fearing they would ban him, he watched them where they couldn't see him or Rynith. It wass troublesome that he had to hide from other riders, but it was something that had to be done. He wasn't the most popular person around Telgar.

The last thing R'rako expected was someone to approach him.

The greenrider watched as Seryth splashed around in the lake. Summer was a good time for a dragon. It was hot enough that the dragons didn't spend nearly as much time sunning and were more active. Seryth, who was a very active dragon anyway was having quite the time.

As Marisol approached the water, the young red head wondered who the blue and his rider were. Then she remembered hearing a rumor about a rider returning after leaving the Weyr. A renegade rider, if you will. This left her wondering what sort fo person left the Weyr.

Mine are you going to swim or not?
I didn't think anyone was over here when I said I was coming in. Looks like I will have to stay mostly clothed. You are going to have an advantage at swimming now.
Like you had any chance without clothes on. It just makes you more slippery.

Marisol grinned, she could probably get away with her shirt and undergarments. She was behind the bluerider before he would even have noticed a shadow. "You must be the one that has the whole Weyr in a tizzy. Pleasure to meet you. I'm Marisol and the green making waves out there is my dragon, Seryth."

R'rako had sat up, and was deep in thought while watching Rynith splash around. He didn't even notice the green dragon splashing nearby, nor did he notice the girl that approached him until she spoke. She startled him, though he showed no outward appearance of being startled. The last thing he expected was a rider to approach him and actually talk to him.

He stood up and turned toward the red headed girl. So he was already the infamous person that pissed off the Weyrwoman. Great, that was just the reputation he needed.

"That's probably me. I'm R'rako, rider of the splashing blue, Rynith."

Ryntih stopped splashing, feeling his rider's uneasyness. Unlike the blue, his rider wasn't used to being around others of his species, let alone the opposite gender. Sometimes Rynith wondered how humans managed to reproduce at all. The blue turned to the green that was near him.

I am Rynith, and my rider is R'rako. It is a pleasure to meet you.

Rynith bowed his head in respect to the green. Now that was how you should be a gentlemen.

It was then R'rako noticed that all he had on were some wet undershorts. He didn't know much about being a gentlemen, but he was sure greeting a girl half naked was not gentlemen like at all. His cheeks turned a bit red, suddenly embarrassed.

"Pardon my lack of clothing. When dealing with Rynith, it's hard to keep up with heavy clothing on."

He scanned the area, trying to locate the rest of his cloths, hoping that Marisol would not find him more unlikeable then the Weyr had him out to be.

[hrsegrl]

"Good day for a swim, isn't it?" She said smiling, noting his lack of clothing before he mentioned anything. Marisol was a rather promiscuous person so his shorts only appearance was not a bad thing to her. Her eyes did not stray from his face, he had strange eyes.

The green, who noticed her rider had stopped short of entering the lake to talk to the other rider swam closer to the shore. Hello Rynith. I'm Seryth! Do you know any water games? The green had a bubbly personality for the most part. She was always upbeat.

"Oh don't worry about me, R'rako. " She winked and then sat down to take off her shoes. "I've got to strip down some myself. Seryth wants me in the water." The greenrider stood back up and took off her pants. Her undershirt fell to just above her mid thighs, longer than the shirt she had on top of it. Maris quickly rid herself of that one.

"You coming for a swim too?" Marisol asked as she began to run into the water, straight for her dragon. "Ready or not my green, I'm coming to get you. Remember keep your eyes closed... won't have you cheating like last time."
I didn't cheat. I simply felt something that I thought was you. Uh huh, your always feeling something that is like me but you never seem to catch me.

Unfortunately, no, mine is not one for water games.

He was always too busy thinking and training. He needed to learn how to have fun in life, like the blue liked to. He was all for training, but breaks were invented for a reason. Maybe having someone that didn't hate him in his life would change that. It seemed to the blue that R'rako was actually following the female rider into the water. Rynith would have fun today.

R'rako had unique eyes. They were irritated easily by the sun, which caused the rider to rub them constantly. They would get irritated and turn pink because of the rubbing. At night, the moon played a trick on them, and they became almost a redish. At least they distracted Marisol from looking at his unclothed bodies. He was quite awkward around other people, and without half his clothes on, he felt extremly awkward.

"No need to be uncomfortable on my part."

He debated for a second whether to leave, or go in with Marisol and the dragons. After about two seconds of internal argument, he reluctantly jogged after the green rider. It would probably benefit Rynith if he went in, and who knew, maybe splashing aroudn stupidly in the water would be fun. Maybe.

After meeting up with the green and blue, R'rako turned to Marisol with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Now what?"

He didn't know any games. Rynith made a noise that sounded like a sight. His rider was hopeless.

[hrsegrl]

Unaware that he might be uncomfortable in this situation, Marisol continued into the water without a second thought. She loved the Lake, especially this time of year. It was entirely too hot to walk around in leathers all day and not take a swim in the Lake. She giggled at his question, did he not know any water games? What a sheltered life he had led.

Maris looked at Seryth. "Well we like to play a water game where the IT person has to call out to us, Marco. Then the rest of the players will call back to the It person and say Polo. The IT person follows the voices adn eventually will catch someone. That person then has to count to twenty and cover their eyes, they are now the IT person. " Maris remembered the first time she played it with her grandmother when she was six.

"Grandmother said it was a game that had been passed down generations in her family. Wouldn't suprise me if you didn't know it. Seryth finds it delightful. The best part is that water is wonderful for working on stamina. Which as you know is a green dragons weakness."

She smiled over at him. "NOT IT!" Seryth glared at her. NOT IT! Hehehe. They might be getting the blue and his rider into something they didn't want to be in. Hopefully they could all have fun and not worry about too much. Maris much preferred having fun and living without a care... she hoped he wasn't one of those overly serious riders.
