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.

When Searchriders Play [Thoia]; Summer 1264, Early Evening

One more piece of fresh meat, safely delivered into the candidatemasters' welcoming jaws. Luca stayed in the office as long as she could, hoping to act as moral support to the young lad that Emmeth had Searched from Brecca. The boy had been fine, even ecstatic, on the way to the Weyr, but the moment they had entered the candidate barracks, his entire demeanor had changed. It must be difficult, coming to live in a strange place full of strange people. Luca could sympathize, up to a certain level. The lad would adjust, and Weyr life was far better than Hold life. He would be fine.

Upon her dismissal, the bluerider nodded to the candidatemaster and clapped her newest spawn on the shoulder. "I'll be back to check on you later this sevenday," she promised, offering him a comforting smile before stepping out into the hall. The door had not even closed behind her when Gale glided down to claim her left shoulder. "Don't you have somewhere, anywhere, else to be?" The jab was half-hearted. Gale had been reasonably behaved as of late, and so she wasn't feeling quite so murderous towards him. She even let him curl his tail around her neck. The bronze firelizard only gave her a haughty look in response, drawing himself up quite regally. Snorting, Luca reached out to Emmeth. Do you need me, Emmy?

The blue stirred in the back of her mind, his sleepy consciousness melting through their link. She could vividly envision him, blinking into awareness on the sun-soaked ledge where she had left him. I always need you. A sweet croon flooded her mind. The pure sweetness of him had Luca leaning against the wall of the candidate commons with a silly grin on her face. However, to answer your question, I do not require oiling or bathing at this time. I will likely nap. Feel free to go about your skeevy mischief.

At that, Luca burst out laughing, reaching up to run a hand through her wind-tousled hair. "My skeevy mischief," she repeated out loud, shrugging off of the wall. She smirked when she made eye contact with a candidate on the other side of the room. "Hey there." At that moment, Gale spread his wings and hissed at the woman. His human was his!

Thoia had been enjoying a short break. Not enough to leave the barracks and do much, but still it was nice to relax for a moment or two. She could take the time to repair some of her work shirts. Sure, she could requisition new ones, especially since they were work clothes, but she was weyr bred and understood the value of repairing first. Besides, once she was a Rider she could earn some marks and get more nice clothes. She really only had one gather outfit, but more was an unneeded luxury for now.

Looking up when she heard a laugh and seeing a familiar and attractive face, she could not help but smile.

Hope stirred on her shoulder where she'd be sleeping, and Thoia reached up to gently scratch the little green who settled back to sleep. At a month old she slept a lot so she could grow. And soon, she hoped, she'd have another little one to raise. Not the time to be noticing attractiveness.

At the woman's words, she smirked, "A greeting after that comment. Should I be worried that you're planning skeevy mischief? Or worried that your wing man there is going to attack me?"

Will you shut up, Gale? She's smiling. That's a good sign. Luca shot her firelizard a venomous sidelong glare, resisting the urge to throttle him. Of course, he would behave somewhat until she encountered a beautiful woman. It was so very much Gale. The bronze flit stopped flapping his wings and hissing, but he continued to bore into Thoia with ruby eyes. He disliked her for looking at his human. For speaking to his human. However....when he saw the little green firelizard, he tilted his head. He remembered his old green friend as well as Luca did, even if their blue cousin had forgotten her. Marvel. This firelizard was not Marvel. But she was a baby. Like Marvel's green babies.

Yes, focus on the firelizard and let me socialize, Luca thought to him, wincing slightly. Marvel would have kept Gale in check, unless his behavior amused her. Useful girl, she was. With Gale momentarily distracted, Luca quickly seized the opportunity to start a conversation. She began to cross the room, keeping a careful tab on Gale's emotions. The last thing she wanted was Noa's anger because Gale attacked a candidate. "You should be moderately worried over this prick." She tilted her head to indicate the firelizard on her shoulder. "But don't worry. Gale's only as dangerous as you make him out to be. When you act like you don't care, he'll stop."

Flopping down on the couch next to the candidate, she stretched out her legs and crossed one arm behind her head. Her expression was almost impish as she looked at Thoia. "Now, should you be concerned about mischievous blueriders? Possibly. It depends on how you feel about being chased, pretty one." Gale snarled at that, lashing his tail. Not even looking at him, Luca automatically responded with a, "Gale, go feck with the Star."

Thoia watched the interaction between the two with quiet amusement, at least until Gale's snarling and lashing woke Hope the rest of the way up and the young Green relocated herself to the safety of Thoia's lap, pulling the mending she was working on right out of her hands. She keened softly as she pushed towards Thoia's hands, wondering why the Bronze was so angry.

"Shh, sweetie, it's ok. I think he's just very protective of his person, Hope. He won't hurt you."

Luca said to act like she didn't care. And while she was not worried about the Bronze, she did not care for Hope being frightened. She fixed the Bronze with a glare, "Yes, you're quiet frightening. Now apologize to Hope for waking and scaring her."

Turning her attention away from Gale, though she continued to stroke Hope and soothe her, she smiled to Luca. "And if I am no Green to be chased and caught, Blue Rider, or to be won with simple flattery, what would you do then?"

Luca frowned, her buoyant mood temporarily deflated, as Thoia attempted to soothe Hope. The little green--she looked like she was a baby still, too--was quite clearly frightened. While it struck the woman odd that anything could be actually scared of Gale, she was still annoyed at her flit. She's just a baby, Gale. Will you stop? The bronze was standing up on her shoulder now, regarding Hope with disdain and some confusion. Greens, even the little ones, were supposed to stand in awe of his splendor! What was wrong with this one?! "He's not protective," Luca muttered under her breath. "He's just a stopped tailfork."

Gale snapped his teeth, arching his neck proudly. His nostrils flared when the strange human made her strange sounds at him. That tone was certainly not praising. His talons kneaded into his human's jacket. Feeling the slight pressure, Luca scowled and reached up to curl a hand under his belly, scooping him into a tight one-armed embrace against her chest. Emmeth? All she needed to do was to show him the situation, particularly the frightened green. At the deep, stern timbre of the blue's command, Gale reluctantly went slack against her arm. She released him, exhaling a loud sigh of relief as he pushed off of her and fluttered to sit on the arm of the sofa.

Relaxing, Luca returned Thoia's smile and scooted closer, bending her head to look at the little green flit. Cautiously holding her fingers out to the baby, she murmured, on behalf of Gale, "Sorry, pretty girl. He's an idiot. It's okay, though. Me and Emmy won't let him get you." Her eyes flickered up to Thoia's at the woman's question, and her gentle smile quickly became a smirk. "Who said anything about simple flattery? I like to think I put more effort into courtship than that. And if you don't want to be chased, you say the word. I don't believe that's the case, though."

Thoia could not help but smile as Luca, having gotten the Bronze under control became all solicitous of Hope. It was sweet.

Hope's entire attitude changed and she preened as Luca called her pretty and apologized for her meanie-loud-Bronze! She scooted a bit in Thoia's hands, who opened them more so she could, and gently butted her head against Luca's fingers in a happy purr. The woman had a meanie flit, but she was nice, and she sent those impressions to Thoia.

"Perhaps I prefer more mutual mating rituals." She smiled broader, her eyes dancing as she did so. "No chaser and chased, no wooer and wooed. I don't believe in making any potential partners do all the work. However, you should know, Luca of Blue Emmeth." Sure she knew who the woman was. The Search Rider was around often enough, "I don't play for single 'flights,' And you know what the life of a Candidate is like. This is your chance to wink and say it's all in innocent fun and go with no harm done."

It was difficult to keep looking at Thoia when there was a sharding adorable baby firelizard butting at her fingers. And it was purring. Luca would have happily laughed in the face of anyone who accused her of having a soft spot for babies. Yet, there was no denying that her eyes were drawn to Hope, even as the flit's beautiful owner spoke to her. That did not mean that she wasn't listening to Thoia's words, though. She was listening quite intently, even as she wiggled her fingers and tried to coax Hope onto her hand.

Mutual mating rituals? she asked Emmeth, more amused than anything else. It wasn't often that strangers outright told her that they wanted to do more than be caught. She was the chaser, just as much as her blue was the chaser. Period. Most women, much like pretty greens and grays, were quite all right with that.

Emmeth's amused rumble filled her mind. I cannot remember anyone ever chasing you, Mine.

You can't even remember what you had for breakfast, Emmy.

I did not eat breakfast, Mine.

Her smile widening, both because of the candidate's words and her own lifemate's playfulness, Luca sat back somewhat. She raised an eyebrow, regarding Thoia with some amusement. That amusement did a decent job of masking anything else that she felt. There were plenty of women that she slept with once and never again. There was also a handful of women who were different. At the very least, she wouldn't say no to getting to know this pretty candidate. "If your personality is half as beautiful as your face, then I wouldn't hesitate to chase you more than once," she replied, one side of her mouth lifting higher than the other. Winking, just to be smart, she darted in to quickly kiss Thoia's cheek. Gale growled in his usual jealous, surly manner, but could do nothing more than turn his back.

It was more than ok with Thoia the way that Luca was captivated by Hope. She knew her green was adorable, and part of her kinda wished she could stay a cute baby. Except cute baby slept a lot, and ate a lot, and needed oiling a lot. Just like a cute baby dragon would.

It's ok, sweetie. I'll be right here. She gently encouraged Hope and the small green moved to Luca's hand as she looked back to make sure Thoia was not leaving.

But watching a beautiful woman all but melt over her baby flit. No, that was more than good with Thoia. Besides, it gave her a chance to really look at the woman. She was beautiful, obviously had a goofy cute side, and Thoia knew the woman tended to check up on the Candidates she searched. Beyond that, she didn't know much about the Blue Rider. But if the woman wanted to get to know her better, there was no harm in that.

She started to respond and then the woman kissed her cheek and Thoia laughed. Hope chirped, not sure what happened or if she liked it, but Thoia was happy so she did not protest. The kiss was not unwelcomed and the laughter was pleasant not cruel. "You cannot accept the idea that a chase could be mutual can you? This will be fun."

Sometimes, women whom she kissed, even on the cheek, wound up slapping her in the face. That had been a more common occurrence at High Reaches, when she'd been younger, but Luca still liked to be prepared for such things when she acted boldly. The fact that Thoia had not hit her, and that she was laughing in a pleasant manner, encouraged the bluerider. Luca glanced down when Hope chirped, her jaw dropping ever so slightly. Aww, Emmy, look. It had been Turns since she had held a baby firelizard. Not since High Reaches. Gale didn't count; he was a prick even as a hatchling.

Oh, Mine, she is precious! Can we not get one of our own, please? They're so adorable, Emmeth gushed. Luca chuckled. Even after seven Turns, she couldn't not be amused by hearing that deep voice coo like a little kitchen girl.

We have Gale, she reminded Emmeth, who made a humming sound. He loved Gale, but even he couldn't find it in himself to fawn over the bronze. To placate him, Luca added, We'll talk about it later, all right? Emmeth murmured a happy assent, and Luca blinked, the glazed look disappearing from her eyes. She shook her head, not in disagreement, but in bemusement. "It's not something that I'm used to, doll. But, I'm open. Especially if it will be as 'fun' as you claim. Now," she leaned closer again. "Can I get your name? Since you know mine?"

There was a pang of jealousy at the glazed look. She was weyr-bred. She knew what that look meant, and more than anything she wanted that. But it would come. Thoia knew it would. It had to. Sooner, hopefully, or later, a dragon would decide she was the one and she would Impress.

"Hmm...I don't see why not. You're beautiful and caring, at least enough that you're known around here. Perhaps you should give people a chance to chase you a bit more often." Or perhaps impressing a Blue rubbed off on her and she really did prefer being the chaser. That was something Thoia could learn as she got to know the other woman, if she got to know the other woman.

"I'm Thoia, and the lovely little green, the female who has you well and truly enthrall." She winked to show she was teasing as Hope chirped at being talked about as the awesome being she was! "Is Hope."

While it was tempting to kiss the woman's check to return the gesture, that felt a bit too copy cat, cheating to Thoia. But she did not pull back either. "So, tell me, what do you do for fun? Other than talk up random Candidates?"
