Welcome to Vaioa,

a desert triumvirate of Hold, Weyr, and Mine. Thread's return and bandit raiding brought strife between weyr and hold, but the bandits' recent defeat has returned the region to an uneasy peace. Now, a shipwreck on a forgotten continent and the decision to settle this rediscovered land has opened up a world of opportunity to Vaioa, if only they can handle the dangers.

Tiael waited as Zelle settled herself on the floor before nodding. "Yup, just one hatching but it was....crazy." She shook her head a little at the memories. There'd been happy times, though she herself had walked away without a dragon. There'd also been the death of that boy. It wasn't the first time she'd seen death, even rather gruesome death but it was unusual to see it at the hands of a dragon. "The lessons explain the basics but, most of the time, you just have to wing it. Also, keep nimble, if the hatchling isn't yours, it will have no qualms about walking through you." .....and over your neck and tearing your throat out....she added silently in her head. Best not put the girl off now right?

Tiael nodded quietly at Zelle's comment of loosening up. It was true, some here were more tightly wound than a Gold waiting to Fly, but it had made them fun to play with. Mostly. She was still wrestling a bit with finding herself more concerned for people than usual. Still, a few people around who were more relaxed? Well, that was a great thing in her opinion. Would make passing the time easier that was for sure.

Zelle didn't seem to object to waiting on the shipfish tale, which was encouraging. At her question, Tiael chuckled quietly. "Nope, unfortunately I want to hear specifics." She commented, wondering just how much Zelle would be willing to tell. The other Candidate soon expanded on her own history, starting out rather vague, but they were all things Tiael could understand. They'd visited plenty of less than friendly Holds in her time on the caravan, even been set upon by the odd bandit group. Hearing the talk of food, Tiael tilted her head thoughtfully. She knew some places made different local dishes, she could also relate to the notion of missing the changes that came with each place. "I think, I'd have to agree with you on that." Tiael said for a moment, then hastily explained. "I used to love seeing the sights, sounds, smells and yes, the people." She added almost as an afterthought. She had found their possessions interesting, mostly, but that wasn't a notion she often shared aloud.

As Zelle suddenly turned to her, Tiael blinked and listened. "Tunnelsnakes?" She finally managed, looking up thoughtfully. "Nowhere that we ended up. Did you try some?" She asked, curious. What would that taste like? She wasn't sure whether to be appalled or impressed that people had found use for the pests. Glancing about the room, she ran a hand thoughtfully through her hair. What kind of places did she miss most? "I think the worst thing here is the dust." She commented, then smiled as an idea struck her. "There are some really nice places to be found though, you just have to get there..." She trailed off, glancing sideways at Zelle and smirking. "I can see if I can get us a ride if you're interested?" It would be nice, to share some of the unique places she'd been shown with Zelle. Maybe Ebylin would be willing to take them both, or even bring a friend....then again, Ebylin had just taken her, maybe she wouldn't want a bunch of people knowing about it. Realising she possibly shouldn't have offered, she quickly surmised she'd just have to find out another place, somewhere she could get a runner to and take Zelle there instead. Shards she needed to think a little more before she spoke.

"So..." she began a little while later. "Did you get taught how to spar?...I'd imagine living on a boat you'd have to know how, at least a little?" She commented, glancing at the other girl again. "You seem the type who keeps active, I bet you'd be quite...formidable." Her tone was nothing but appreciative, and even if the girl wasn't a dab-hand with a knife, she was sure she would be a quick learner. Hmm, now that might be fun as well... Clearing her throat slightly, she smirked slightly and finally pulled her gaze away to glance about the room politely.

"Yeah I'll bet it was. I heard that hatching get pretty...exciting. Guess I'll see for myself someday soon right?" Zelle said with a smirk on her face as she got comfortable on the floor. When she mentioned needing to be nimble she nodded her head with a chuckle. "Thanks for the advice. Good thing I have some pretty decent reflexes. So that shouldn't be a problem." Somehow she felt there was something that Tiael wasn't telling her but she didn't push it. Didn't seem all that important and besides she was enjoying the company so far.

She smirked when Tiael said she wanted details and couldn't help some not so innocent things popping into her mind. But she would behave...for now. It felt nice having someone listening with so much attention. Smiling as she listened to Tiael make a comment she let out a quiet laugh. "Glad you agree. Hopefully one day I can see those places again. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be on a dragon like my father wants." She couldn't help the slight bitterness in her tone. Clearing her throat she returned the smile to her face and continued talking. "That's right. Tunnelsnakes. Yes I did try some. Its...not that bad actually. Weird tasting but not bad." Zelle tilted her head listening to Tiael and slowly grinned. "Well I'm definitely interested in anything that can take me away from here for a little while. So sure, whenever you feel like it hit me up. I'm game."

After a bit of silence she stretched with a quiet moan before turning to Tiael to respond to her question and to that lovely appreciative tone of hers. "Yes I was taught how to. It was one of the things my father insisted on. I grew up on a ship where I was the ONLY girl. So yeah, I learned fast." She winked at Tiael then shuddered as she felt a bit of a chill in the room and didn't realize it when she moved a bit closer to the girl. "Course with men there is always one quick way to topple them but I was taught to only use that as a last resort if i can." She said the words while patting her knee slightly and chuckling before leaning toward Tiael slightly. "What about you?"

Tiael chuckled then nodded firmly. "Sounds like you'll be fine and, yeah, given the lessons I'd say it'll be someday soon." They were certainly picking up recently, so with some luck they'd be at least able to look at some eggs soon. She wondered what she'd do this time round, talk to them all again? Or this time just try to stay by a few and get a better feel for them? Hmm, she'd have to think on that more. "Just wait till you stand next to some eggs, they're a lot bigger than I'd first thought."

Aware she was mostly just rambling now, she forced her jaw shut. Best not get too far off base, Zelle didn't seem the type to stick with boring conversation. Lessons would cover the finer points of hatchings and she'd see the eggs soon enough for herself. Tiael caught the bitterness that crept into the girl's voice, obviously her being here hadn't been her first choice. Thing was, she could relate. She hadn't exactly asked to be here either. "If you get a dragon, you can find him and see how well he gets on with one of them right up close." She said with a cheeky grin, seeing if the comment would go over well. Dragons were, well, intimidating up close if truth be told. "Plus you'd have some company to sight see with." She commented as the notion occurred to her, then shrugged lightly. There were positives and negatives to every situation.

Tiael wasn't entirely suer she wanted to try tunnelsnake any time soon, however it was a slight comfort to know that they were useful beyond being just pests. Perhaps she should suggest it to Mirella as an alternative to the current food conundrum? Hmm, that might be an interesting conversation to have with their mentor. As Tiael's offer was taken up, she was fast realising she'd have to work on a good alternative, and fast. Zelle wasn't likely to hang about for empty offers, she seemed much too feisty for that. It was a quality that Tiael found interesting and entertaining. "I'll be sure to do that." Tiael said, pondering for only a split second before letting her thoughts run a little more loosely. "I get the feeling you'd be game for just about anything." There wasn't sarcasm, mocking or even disdain in her voice, just amusement in her tones and a grin on her face.

Watching Zelle stretch was not an unpleasant activity by any stretch of the imagination, though she kept herself in check and instead continued to draw a little more information out of Zelle. Hearing her affirmation that she could spar, Tiael nodded with a satisfied grin. "Thought so." She commented, but left it at that, curious to hear more. It was certainly growing colder, but she was a little surprised when Zelle shuffled closer. Tiael chuckled as Zelle patted her knee, watching her hand for a moment then glancing back up as Zelle turned the question on her.

She grew thoughtful for a moment, wondering just what she should explain to the girl. She didn't know her all that well, still, she didn't want to seem like too much of a closed book. To buy herself a little time, Tiael chuckled and wrestled the furs out from round herself and flung half over Zelle. "Better?" She asked, settling in next to her comfortably.

"Now, to answer your question...." She began finally. "I can spar. Caravans are not all that safe to grow up on. I've, never known my parents but the foster mother on mine had the sense to make sure we all took lessons. Bandits weren't uncommon over the turns, plus we sometimes had to hunt. So, you develop a broad skillset." She said, then wrapped the fur up around her chin and snuggled against the other girl. "We should spar sometime." She continued without fuss. "I'd love to see what you can do...." The comment was said with a sincere tone, but was it really meant to be taken at face value and not imply something else? Well she'd let Zelle decide that one.

"Now about those shipfish...." Tiael commented slyly, flicking her gaze sideways at Zelle. "I'll trade you your shipfish story, for my tale of the Lord Holder's Daughter, how does that sound?" Her voice had dropped, considerably less keen to share the story with more than just one person. Zelle she had a feeling would only find it amusing, some of the others? Probably not so much. Hidebound lot the Holders could be.

"Yeah they really have been picking up the pace on lessons..." Zelle said with a smirk before looking at Tiael with a raised brow. She was curious about how the eggs actually looked. Imagining them to be rather big since they would come from the golds who look enormous from what she had seen. "Bigger than you thought huh? I imagine them to be at least up to my hip." She said with a chuckle before listening to Tiael once again.

She didn't mind the girl rambling that much. It was kind of cute. Though she had to admit that sometimes listening to someone ramble on and on about things got tiresome. Just depended on what the subject was. And sometimes who was talking. "Haha! Yeah. I'd love to fly right to his ship and land my dragon on it to see his face. Bet he'd freak," The image really did amuse her and she let out a quiet laugh. "Guess you're right. Show my dragon the sights of Pern right?" Zelle liked that idea. It sounded like a heck of an adventure.

When Tiael commented on her being up for anything she smirked and nodded. "I usually am. Anything to break the pattern of mundane I guess." She had taken note that Tiael had watched her stretching and felt pleased that she got her attention. So far this girl was turning out to be very interesting. She could end up being worth keeping around. While waiting for Tiael to answer her question she watched curiously as the girl wrestled with her furs and the raised a brow in surprise when she tossed part of them over her. Smirking with a mischievous glint in her eyes she nodded her head. "Oh yes. Much better. Thanks."

Wiggling a bit closer to Tiael to make it easier for them both to be under the furs she tilted her head listening to her explain how she knew how to spar. "Very smart of your foster mother. My father only took me hunting when we were in port for more than two days. Loved those times." Zelle was suddenly distracted by Tiael snuggling against her and she nearly lost her train of thought. Especially when she mentioned them sparring sometime and seeing what she could do. Oh that brought up some interesting thoughts. Smirking devilishly she shifted to lean against the other girl a bit. "And I would certainly love to show you. What I can do I mean." She said a bit teasingly.

Her smirk turned into a sly grin to match Tiael's when she brought up the shipfish. So she wanted to hear about those now did she? When she mentioned what she wanted to trade for her story she raised a brow. "You have me curious cutie. Deal." She said softly to keep her voice low. "Hmm...Well it was actually really hot even at night. Felt like we were cooking on the ship. So...one night while the ship was anchored out at sea and no one was looking, I stripped down and went swimming in the waters." She paused for a moment and smiled at her. "I swam out a good distance and man was I surprised when the shipfish came right up to me. I got to touch them and everything."

Tiael mused on Zelle's guess about the size of eggs. "Not far off actually. I dunno, when I think of eggs, my mind automatically thinks 'small'. I guess I shouldn't really have been surprised though, dragons are rather, large." She finished somewhat lamely, unsure how else to phrase it. Sharding massive, would have been better possibly but it was too late now.

Zelle seemed keen on the idea of showing her father her possible future dragon up-close, and Tiael was glad. It was always risky, delving into the muddy waters of family affairs. She'd never really had any to worry about so it was an area she was often off-base with her suggestions with. Seemed though, she was picking up a few things living in the Weyr. She nodded, a lop-sided smile on her own face. "Just think, you'd get to see his face and see most of Pern. Now if that isn't a freedom, I don't know what is." Her tones were almost wistful, though her mind had stayed well with the conversation. She watched Zelle, seeing how she took the idea.

Zelle's assertion that she was up for most things would have been taken at simple face value, except she smirked. The expression hadn't been missed and it was clear that so far, Tiael was far from making her flustered. Not even the addition of the furs or Tiael shuffling closer seemed to put her off. "A hunter as well?" Tiael asked, the tone of impression creeping into her tones before she could check herself. "Something very, satisfying about it. For me anyway." She commented, sliding her gaze sideways as Zelle responded to her open ended comment with amusement. Enthusiasm even, if her leaning closer was anything to go by. Apparently, they were both about as subtle as wherries, but neither seemed to care too much.

Hearing her offer of trading stories accepted, Tiael settled in to listen. Her eyebrow raised, but the story was told in an almost matter-of-fact way. No shyness, no lewd comments, she was completely comfortable with just explaining what had happened. "Is it dangerous?" Tiael asked after a moment. "Swimming out by yourself." She pulled a hand up from the furs, holding it up in front of her and looking at it curiously for a moment. "What do they feel like?" She said, flicking her gaze to Zelle. "Shipfish I mean, only ever seen them at a distance myself."

Zelle chuckled at Tiael's words and tilted her head as if thinking about it. "You're right. Hearing anything about an egg one would think small. But those golds really are big so its not surprising they would be huge." Now where was this girl when she first arrived? Well, probably with all the other candidates she had been avoiding for a little while being a sulking mess. Either way she was glad to meet her now. It was entertaining sitting there late at night under some furs chatting in whispers with someone she still barely knew. Hopefully that could change.

She took note of the wistful tone Tiael took when talking about seeing Pern with a dragon and such. Smiling she nodded in agreement. "Trust me. I can't wait to see his face. If I do Impress I'll definitely be exploring Pern once I can fly. Aside from when I was brought here I haven't flown much. But I love the feeling." Her smile was almost as wistful as Tiael's words but she shook her head and returned her focus to the conversation once again.

"Hunting is very satisfying. I enjoy it very much." It felt surprisingly good to hear that slight note of impression in Tiael's voice. Not that she was out to show off to anyone, that just wasn't her. Unless...well she just wanted to get the attention of someone. But that wasn't the situation. "We should try hunting together sometime in the future." Zelle said the words in a playful tone then chuckled.

"Yes it is dangerous. My father was furious about me being out there alone. And naked. But hey it was worth it." The memories of how her father had chewed her out for hours after he caught her climbing back on board as naked as the day she was born. Smiling at the memory of how he kept fussing over her despite being mad because she had caught something of a cold that night. When Tiael asked what the shipfish looked like she grinned. "They feel smooth. And surprisingly warm for creatures that live in the sea. Very friendly. I almost wish I hadn't left after a while."

((No worries on shortness. I don't mind. :) ))

Tiael bit her lip for a moment, considering just how much she wanted to share with someone she didn't really know well. Truth be told, they were more discussing Zelle's situation than her own. Still, she didn't like to go into too many details about herself. Not when she hardly knew the other person anyway. Finally though she settled on a way to phrase things that she felt comfortable with. "I've flown a couple of times, the first time as a bit scary but the second? Much better." She smiled then, thinking back. Ebylin and Harnteth really had been good to her, given her the freedom she'd craved. She'd have to find a proper way to thank her one day. "If we both Impress, you can show me what a proper ship looks like. Only really seen the smaller fishing boats up close."

There didn't seem to be a question, more of an assumption that Zelle wouldn't mind her tagging along and that Tiael would like to be shown around some. As the conversation turned to hunting Tiael nodded, wondering if they'd ever be allowed out of the Weyr to hunt. It was odd but, so much routine and strict rules became almost strangling despite the fact that there was so much space about. Weyr's were a funny thing to get used to. "If we can find anything to hunt in this place, it's all dust and dirt for miles. There's got to be something though, right?"

Tiael couldn't help but chuckle at how triumphant Zelle sounded for her encounter. She debated asking exactly what dangers, besides not being able to swim, there were but that could turn the conversation to all kinds of seriousness and Tiael wasn't sure she wanted that. It was nice, to find someone who shared her similar views to her, could relate to that urge to be out and free and seeing things. They both seemed determined to get dragons though, so while they both wanted out, they also wanted to stay too. Well, at least she had some pretty company to wait out the next few sevendays while the eggs hardened. She'd be lying if she didn't say Zelle was pretty, the other girl was and Tiael wasn't one to turn down such company on the best of days. Give her an interesting personality to boot, and Faranth knew Zelle had that, and the Candidate had a feeling this probably wouldn't be the last night spent huddled up swapping stories. Realising she'd missed opportunity to comment on Zelle's father being angry, she instead focused on the description of shipfish. "Hmm a bit like a wet dragon?" She asked curiously, wondering how much dragon hide and shipfish skin differed; not that she had any real experience with either texture. "They do look like they'd be interesting company."

She turned her hand over for a moment, staring at the palm, before she pulled it beneath the furs again. Snuggling down against Zelle she peered out at the dim glowbasket propped on the nearby table for a while. "So I suppose it's my turn hmm?" She asked finally. Her voice was casual, almost as if they'd known each other for years and it was nothing out of the ordinary to curl up together and swap stories in the middle of the night. "So, I'm sure you've been to a gather or two. I mean, who hasn't right?...right. Well, I was up at one of the northern Holds. You know, up near the mountains, only, it was summer." Tiael was careful to keep things fairly vague, she wasn't entirely sure what Zelle would make of things and she didn't want anything that could be pinned on her too precisely getting around. "So they had a huge gather, wine, dancing, so many people you could hardly move. The food was excellent by the way...Anyway. There was, as there often are, many women there. Not just ordinary girls, oh no, the sort that look all kinds of pretty when they're dressed up. You know what I mean?" Tiael shot Zelle a sideways glance and smirked. "Mmmmhmm, you strike me as the kind of person who understands, exactly what I mean." Tiael said after a moment, then settled again to continue. "Well, there was, among the large crowd one very attractive young lady. Not much older than I was only, she looked out of place. Not, because of her outfit or anything, but she was miserable. So, I did what any respectable woman would do, offered her a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen."

Tiael paused briefly, a faint smile on her lips as she thought things over. Her mind had raced ahead a ways, though she was getting herself lost and not helping Zelle with her silence so she focused her thoughts. "Turns out, she was due to be married off to an absolute tunnelsnake of a man, but had no say in things. Tch, Holders." Tiael comment, almost absent-mindedly. "So, I decided and she seemed to agree, that she needed to at least enjoy herself for one more evening before the big even that winter. So we drank, chatted, she even sang. Can't remember much about the song, but she did have a lovely voice...As you've probably guessed by now, drinking and comforting company when you're so unhappy usually winds up in interesting places and that was exactly where things were headed. Do you know just how many sharding catches and buttons those fancy outfits have once you get past the first layer?" Tiael scowled for a moment, then shook her head. "Sorry, sidetracked. So, there we were tucked away where I thought we'd be hidden, finding out exactly how many buttons, catches and laces those things have. Suddenly, in bursts this tower of a man with a huge pointy nose. Turns out it is none other than the Lord hosting the gather. Also the woman in question? Why that would be his daughter!......suffice to say I had to make a very quick run for it and scream my apologies back down the hallway behind me."

She was chuckling softly now, shaking her head lightly. Her gaze had flicked from the glow-light to Zelle on and off, curious what she'd make of the tale. Would it be entertaining? She had an inkling Zelle was a woman who shared at least some of her tastes for, interesting, people. Question is, would she find the whole thing amusing, or be offended. You never could tell with people. Society got all kinds of confusing for her with rules, proper behaviour and such. Tiael just hoped Zelle would be as relaxed as she seemed.

"Nice. And sure, I'd love to show you. I'm a bit biased but my dad's ship is pretty great. Him and some of his crew actually built it themselves." Zelle said with a touch of pride. She missed that ship very much. It had been her home almost her entire life and it felt strange no longer being there anymore. She let out a laugh at Tiael and then smirked. "True, there doesn't seem to be much around here to hunt. But yeah, gotta be something. How else do those wild whers survive?"

It was more fun than she had wanted to admit sitting there with Tiael talking about things. Sort of getting to know each other. She missed...having friends. Sure most of hers had been men while on the ship so making a friend, and a cute one at that, who was a fellow female was rather nice. When she commented on the ship fish she smirked and nodded her head. "Yeah, I guess like wet dragons. Though I've never felt a wet dragon's skin before. Probably not too different from how they look." Zelle grinned and tilted her head. "They were fascinating. They seemed surprisingly intelligent."

Watching Tiael she noticed her looking at her palm and wondered what she was looking at. Was it the same thing she was looking at when she walked in? Deciding not to worry about it she squirmed a bit closer and nodded with a chuckle when the other girl mentioned it being 'her turn'. She sat and listened quietly with a small smile as Tiael began to talk. When asked if she knew what Tiael meant by the girl's at gathers and such she grinned mischievously. "Oh you're right. I am the kind of person who knows what you mean." she said almost playfully before settling back down to listen once again.

"I'm sure that's all you gave her..." Zelle said under her breath in a teasing tone. Not really wanting to interrupt the story. As she continued she agreed that Holders sometimes baffled her with some of their ways. Like marrying off their sons and daughters even if it made them miserable. That's just stupid to her. Grinning more and more as the story went on she chuckled and then snickered at the part about the latches. "I do know. And I always hate how long it takes. Makes me just want to rip the darn things off."

As Tiael continued she raised a brow and then burst out laughing at the end and then quickly covered her mouth and looked around still almost giggling quietly. Giggling. Now that was something she didn't do every day. "Now that's one way to leave a party. Most entertaining. I do say that I'll have to share something better next time. Your story topped mine tonight."

((sorry it took so long. and sorry if its a bit jumbled. my brain isn't functioning on all cylinders.))

"Can't imagine how you'd even start building a ship." Tiael commented thoughtfully, wondering how it all came together. Did they just, start building on water? Up on a beach somewhere? How did they get the wood to bend round corners? A lot of stuff Tiael hadn't really given much thought till now. Maybe she'd ask Zelle about it sometime. As the conversation turned to hunting Tiael nodded. "Mhmm, that's what I'm thinking. They don't exist on air, or we'd never run out of food."

Thinking back over her adventure bathing Perdoth with Arryn's permission, Tiael smiled. "I think I'd like them then. Dragon's feel, well, it's not slimy but, like warm, wet leather." She shrugged, not articulating well. Watching Zelle ponder in thought, Tiael mused that it was a welcome change; just to sit and chat. She had plenty to do, routine wise, but she hadn't really sat and talked with anyone in quite a while. "I've not given them much thought past the fact that the few I've seen, looked rather pretty. Maybe, if, I wind up Impressing this time round, I'll go to the coast and try to find some to study some. They sound interesting."

Her story seemed well received, though she resisted the urge to rise to any comments the other girl made. Just told her tale, smirking now and then as Zelle gave small bits of input. Watching her descend into swiftly muffled laughter, Tiael stuffed the furs up round her hands to muffle the noise chuckling herself. Lowering them as Zelle recovered some of her composure, she listened to the comment and inclined her head politely. "Well, I'm glad I could provide some entertainment." She said, then a thought struck her. "Mmm, on the point of ripping off clothes, you can't. Not with those things. Seriously, there's more layers and rigging than a, well a ship!"

After a moment her nose wrinkled slightly. "They look lovely and everything, but could you imagine wearing something like that? How do they breathe?" She said, sounding truly baffled. Posh clothes, a mystery to the simple trader girl. True she aspired to owning fine clothes, but she always liked to feel like she was able to at least breathe in the ones she acquired.

Sighing lightly, she flicked her gaze up and down the other Candidate, seeming to be deciding something. "This has been fun...is fun. We should do it again." She said quietly, sitting up now. "I'm sure you've got more stories swimming about in there." She said, messing her fingers briefly through the girls short hair playfully. It felt odd, having such short ends. Her own hair was always long. Tied back certainly, but she'd never in her life had short hair. Tucking her hand back, she watched Zelle closely, slightly tense. Zelle didn't seem the kind to just take teasing so Tiael watched, a mischievous smile curling her lips

Zelle just smirked as she listened to Tiael and then chuckled at her comment about whers surviving on air. That would be something indeed. Surviving on air alone. Would make food shortages a heck of a lot easier. Listening to her describe what a wet dragon felt like she tilted her head with a small smile. "Warm wet leather huh? Nice. Shipfish are more...smooth I guess. In some ways its hard to describe." She chuckled and nodded her head at the girl. "They are worth seeing. Trust me. I think you'd enjoy it."

Tiael's story had tickled her greatly and helped her feel even more relaxed with the girl. It was good to know she wasn't with a prude. That would make things awkward later on she bet. "Very entertaining." She said teasingly before letting out another muffled laugh. "You've never seen me drunk with a woman then. I swear I've torn a few of those myself. But that might have been the wine talking." Zelle snickered and then grinned as Tiael continued to speak. "I'm with you on that one. I hate wearing things like that personally. I like my lung non-flattened thank you." She joked with a grin still in place.

She noticed how Tiael looked at her after a little while and then tilted her head as she spoke up once again. Smirking she nodded in agreement. "Yes we should definitely do this again. I'm really enjoying myself tonight." Zelle watched as Tiael sat up a bit and then tensed up slightly as the girl put her fingers through her hair. Now she wasn't one to complain about a pretty girl wanting to touch her in any way but Zelle also wasn't fond of people 'teasing' her. Still, this was a comfortable moment and she DID rather like the girl. She narrowed her eyes and slowly smirked. "I do indeed. And I'm sure you do too." With that she reached touch and gently brushed her fingertips through Tiael's hair and then tapped her temple.

((XP ugh. RL is kicking my little arse. I swear. Sorry for it being so short and late.))
