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.

Here, have a muffin!; Tag Samiya's K'noa

She'd procured the ingredients more or less herself. Kind of. Okay, so she'd bought perhaps too many fresh berries from the gather stalls and had no idea what to do with all of them. If she ate them all like she wanted to she'd just make herself sick, so perhaps it was a good thing that she'd tottered into the dining hall with her overfull basket and one of the kitchens drudges had taken pity on her.

Not too much longer she'd had her basket returned to her, this time full of muffins still warm and slightly steaming. Gwen had hung around the kitchens in an attempt to help, and had all been run off, until she'd elected to just sit and wait. Now she was a few new friends and a basket of muffins richer, and could count the afternoon as a success.

She'd just taken a bite out of the top of one when she paused, taking notice of a rider sitting all by himself. Gwen glanced down at her basket and then back to the lone man, and then promptly flounced her way over to him, still happily chewing on her mouthful.

"'Ere!" She managed to say, thrusting the basket out at him with a full-cheeked grin. She swallowed down her bite and then giggled, reaching up to brush some muffin crumbs off of her face. "Have one, won't you? They're fresh!"

Noa had finally obtained the solitude he desired. Anyth had been loathe to let him go, but when he insisted he would never make any friends eating in his weyr every night, she had fallen silent. The silence had stretched so long that he had begun to worry something happened, and then she offered a simple Fine. and proceeded to ignore him. He knew it wouldn't last long, and he could already feel her hovering around his thoughts, listening for any sign that he had, in fact, made a new friend.

That wasn't going to happen, though. No, he was just going to have a nice meal by himself for once with no disturbances. Even though he sat in the kitchen, he was apart from the others that dwelt there and he was free to just... enjoy his klah. Or so he thought. He was mid-swallow when a basket was thrust under his nose and he nearly choked. From a similar experience just a few days prior, he knew how to force the liquid down in a way that wouldn't nearly kill him, and he snapped his head up to regard the owner of the basket once the klah was safely in his stomach.

Bubbly, beaming, crumb-strewn, and... well, rather cute, actually. He was distracted from the last acknowledgement, however, by the steaming muffins in front of him. They smelled divine and the steam curling from them made his mouth water. But his mother had taught him not to take food from strangers, and something about this entire situation threw down barriers of suspicion.

It could be poisoned! Anyth warned belatedly.

Yes, I got that, An. He paused. I thought you weren't talking to me? That quickly shut the green up again and he focused on the matter at hand.

He sat back in his chair, meeting Gwen's eyes, and raised his brows questioningly. "Why? Why would you randomly give away muffins to people you don't even know?"

"I just thought that you might like one, that's all," Gwen chirruped, wiggling the basket a little in an attempt to entice the other rider. She took another quick bite of her own muffin, grinning while she did so. "If I ate them all by myself I'd just go into a food coma." She figured that she probably could make some quick rounds around the dining hall at large, plying riders and whoever else with baked goods. That'd be a good way to spend the rest of her evening, really.

"Also," She added on a moment later, perking up again, "You're an unfamiliar face! I don't see too many of those that aren't candidate faces." Gwen carefully set her basket on the table and stuck out her hand once it had been freed up, nodding towards K'noa's knots. "I'm Gwen, and me and my Eamith ride in Sandstone wing!"

Noa considered the girl carefully. So far, the Vaioa residents had all seemed rather... odd... but none seemed like the coldblooded killer type. If he was being honest with himself, she didn't look like the type to poison someone anyway.

She'd knife them right in the stomach, smiling all the while.

Cheerful.

"Thanks... I guess..." he said slowly, warily plucking a muffin from the top. He wasn't likely to eat it, but at least she'd leave him alone now. As usual, his hopes were dashed to bits when she suddenly realized she didn't know him.

I can rescue you. I'll be right down, Anyth volunteered eagerly.

You can't get your fat tailfork through the entrance. Besides, aren't you always trying to tell me to make friends?

He grasped Gwen's hand and gave it a weak shake. "K'noa of Green Anyth. We're in Basalt. We've only been here a few months, so... yeah. Unfamiliar." He held up the muffin like he was toasting her. "Thanks for the muffin." And so saying, he returned to his klah, hoping she would take the hint and leave.

...that's making friends?

Shut up.

Maybe K'noa wasn't originally weyrbred, Gwen thought. His handshake was noodly, a kind of limp hesitancy that she didn't often run across. Sunshine fairly shone out of her face when he finally took a muffin, and when he toasted her with it she laughed a little. What a funny guy!

"That'd explain it!" She said, sweeping herself into the chair on the opposite side of the table. It wasn't like she had anything better to be doing at the moment anyway, and this K'noa person looked dreadfully lonely sitting by himself at the table. Gwen took another little bite of her muffin and openly examined her new friend as she chewed, eyes crinkling at the corners like she liked what she saw. "Green, huh? I bet she's lovely. Vaioa always gets the prettiest greens in, I think."

Eamith let himself be momentarily distracted from the conversation by the idea of a pretty new green, but quickly put himself back on track. His Gwen was always chatting up random people and interrupting their dinners, breakfasts, intimate family conversations, whatever the flavor of the day was. He liked to pay especial attention when she met someone new, just on the off-chance that they'd be unforgivably rude, and he could unleash his fury.

He wasn't exactly sure what that entailed, since he'd never had the chance. But he was ready.

"Have you liked it so far? Is the desert really different from where you transferred in from? Does your Anyth like all the sun and sand? Dragons seem to really love it here." Another chomp of her muffin, more eager smiling as she chewed. There was hardly a break in the line of conversation before she swallowed and began talking again. "K'noa is a very nice name, by the way! I just love the way that dragons shorten names. Sometimes they can be awkward to say, but yours is pretty simple."

She paused, flushed, then quickly said, "Not that I think you're simple! I'm sure you're very complex, ah, in the head. And such. Just as intelligent as the next rider! If not more? You probably are."

Noa stared at Gwen as she glowed--literally glowed--and plopped down to start rambling at him. He had never met such a chatty person before, and that was saying something since Sia had liked to talk his ear off too. The thought of her brought a pang, but he was surprised to find the usual wave of crushing despair didn't accompany it. Interesting...

He tuned Gwen out as he reached out to Anyth. An, without searching my mind for the answer, does the name Lucioth mean anything to you? he asked.

She was silent for a moment, considering. Sounds familiar. Who is it?

As he thought. His green had finally forgotten her lost mate. He was both aggrieved and relieved by the discovery. If enough time had passed that Sia's name no longer stabbed him through the heart and Anyth couldn't even remember her mate, then it was entirely possible he was finally letting her go. You'd be happy, wouldn't you, Sia?

She would, Anyth agreed. Unlike Lucioth, she remembered Nastusia only because she was constantly on her rider's mind.

Noa blinked, returning to reality as Gwen's speech slowed and her face flushed. Uh. What did she say?

She likes your name. She didn't bother adding there had been comments after that.

"Oh, um... thanks? I don't really... go by it, though," he said, completely unaware of how out of context his comment sounded. He turned the muffin slowly in his hand, wondering if he would have to take a bite or risk offending her.

She blinked, a little confused by the way that answer didn't quite fit the last thing that she'd said, but made the connection soon enough. "Oh? Do people not often use your name when they talk to you? Or do you just prefer the name you had before your dragon gave you this one?"

Gwen had always kind of wished Eamith had given her a shortened 'dragonrider' name, but her oft-used nickname was already short enough, and most women riders didn't tend to shorten theirs anyway. She'd never really been able to get a clear answer as to why not, but she supposed that it didn't matter. How would a dragon shorten Gwendolyn, anyway?

G'olyn, Eamith rattled off. Or maybe We'lyn. I like that one better.

Gwen wrinkled her nose, not really fond of either option. Maybe just 'Gwen' was perfectly fine after all. Her attention wandered back to K'noa soon enough, though, and she perked up. "Oh! Oh! What was your name before your green impressed you? I bet it was wonderful!"

She finally finished off her muffin, popping the last chunk of it into her mouth with a pleased and somewhat ridiculous and protracted 'mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm', rolling her eyes slightly with a flutter of her eyelashes as she savored the way the flavor of the berries had seeped into the bread.

Must you do that when other people are around? Eamith chided, embarrassed for the both of them.

"Um... No." Noa paused, shifting his weight, and at last relented. Clearly the girl wasn't going to leave anytime soon, and was packed full of enough energy to keep up a conversation for several candlemarks if necessary, so that meant he had to be civil. He stifled a sigh of annoyance. People were too friendly at this Weyr. "I go by Noa. Only give my rider name in introduction," he relented.

I gave you a perfectly good name. Why won't you use it? Anyth demanded, and from the tone of her voice, he knew she was pouting.

You called me Noalove. That is not a name.

Yes it isss! Why do you deny my affection?!

Ignoring you.

Mean.

"It was Kanoa." He paused and for the first time that evening, cracked a little grin. "It's weird to say that now. Like it belongs to a stranger or something. Hard to remember what life was like back then." He glanced down at his muffin, but his gaze quickly returned to her face as she... well... moaned over her food. The lightest color tinted his cheeks and he raised his eyebrows. "Are you... always like this?"

((Short post is short. Dx Sorry.))

Emboldened by that little grin (and the first real sign of personality! Yay!), Gwen gave a pleased little wiggle in her chair, pulling up her legs so that she could sit cross-legged in her seat. "Always like what?" She chirped, head tilting to one side and her long thick braid sliding with it. As far as she could tell she'd just been her usual self, though people had told her that sometimes she came off as far too friendly far too quickly. Pfah. Like that was even possible. Gwen picked up the end of her braid and began to toy with it, bringing the last few curls of hair at the very bottom up to her face and arranging them so that it appeared like she had a truly fantastic mustache.

"Noa, then? Sounds good, I'll do my best to remember!" She winked at her new friend, wriggling her fake 'stache about until it made her sneeze.

She recovered quickly enough, dropping her braid and instead crossing her arms on the tabletop. "Do you think you're adjusting to a new place pretty well? Oh, wait, everybody's probably asking you that. Let's talk about something different. Ahh..."

Gwen glanced about the room for a moment, before snapping her fingers with a grin. "Oh! What's your favorite color?"

Always like what? Was she entirely unaware of her own actions? Noa raised a skeptical eyebrow at her, but he didn't answer the question. He was distracted from the necessity when she started toying with her hair, however, laying it across her upper lip like a mustache. At that point, he couldn't help it--a chuckle slipped free.

I think she might be crazy.

I like her. Can I meet her?

No.

I want to meet her.

Probably better if you don't.

Noa, introduce her to me!

I'd really rather not.

NOOOOAAAA!!!

By the First Egg, fine! Let me finish my muffin first!

Pleased, the green lapsed into silence and Noa wearily looked at the muffin. He still hadn't touched it and he had no intention of doing so, but Anyth didn't need to know that. He fixed his gaze back on Gwen. She had asked him another question he hadn't caught, but luckily she amended it and asked a different one instead. One that caught him off guard. "My... what?" He blinked. He'd never actually considered his favorite color before. "Green, I guess..."

You're not eating your muffin. Eat it. Now.

Exasperated, Noa broke off a piece of the muffin and popped it in his mouth. He was struck by surprise and looked down at it. "This is actually pretty good," he admitted, glancing at Gwen. "And I changed my mind. Green is a terrible color. Blue is better." At least blues didn't seem to be as annoying.
