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.

She couldn't hold Aislyn's gaze for long, not when there was a note of disappointment there. Yes, Vinny had failed this simple test. Yet when Aislyn pulled away... Fast and totally unexpected--even for Vinny--she gripped the redhead's hand. Not to crush and certainly not strong enough to hurt, her grip was nonetheless solid and sure. That small touch Aislyn had offered, it hadn't been unpleasant, not how touch normally felt like an invasion. When it had retreated, Vinny had felt her own disappointment. Not in Aislyn, but herself, that she was so much a pariah that not even someone as brash and nonchalant as Aislyn dared keep contact. She'd spent so many turns holding people at a distance...what would it be like to let someone close?

"You are...a better person than most," she said softly, ignoring the irony of a shunned woman talking about character. She wasn't entirely certain she believed Aislyn completely, but the copperrider's actions to this point had all supported her claim. Perhaps she really didn't care. That still confused the shards out of Vinny. Almost every other person in her life, from her classmates in the Hall to her masters there, had all put such disdain into her mark that Vinny seriously considered herself no better than it. The fact Aislyn couldn't care less how her skin was marred was...refreshing, if she dared to admit it.

"Thank you," was still soft and a very rare show of gratitude. Thanks implied that she was worthy of what she'd received. Even though she did not feel such just then, Aislyn deserved something in return. Thanks was a paltry gift in return for kind words. The dragonhealer lightly squeezed Aislyn's hand before letting go. "It's...it's an odd thought, someone not caring. And I never did thank you for what you did in the Infirmary, not outside the influence of fellis, anyway."

Oh there's plenty about you I find appealing, she retorted with a thrum, readjusting one of her wings so it wouldn't poke him in the side and make him uncomfortable. I could start listing them, but it might take a while.

She cracked her eyes open and laughed at his taunt. Scary is right. I go looking for something to do, and there's no telling what trouble I'm likely to cause. She snorted after he licked her and decided to give him a light nip in return. Might have to drag you along the next time it happens.

Eyes were quick to dart back down to her hand when Vinny grabbed it. Luckily the other woman wasn't currently looking at her to see the surprised look that crossed her face. Vinny had touched her, grabbed her hand as if she hadn't wanted her to let go. And just like that she was brightening up again. See? Progress! Apparently patience was rewarded as Roduth had kept telling her for so long. Grinning to herself she let her thumb lightly brush against Vinny's knuckles, proud that she felt comfortable enough with her that she didn't shy away from her touch.

Aislyn hummed to herself at the idea that she was a better person than most people. "I don't think that's true. I think I just care more about the things that actually matter rather than the things that so many people seem to focus on." Like something that had no effect on who Vinsica did her job. There had been no problems before they found out, no reason they should think she would change things now. She also wasn't sure how she felt about being this better person Vinny spoke of. She was pretty sure that a good amount of people would disagree, Vinsica herself back when they first met. "Do me a favor and don't let anyone else know. I got a reputation as a pain in the tailfork to keep up." She joked, flashing a slightly teasing grin at the other woman.

When Vinsica thanked her, actually thanked her, Aislyn's face wore that surprised expression once more. It was actually a bit odd how this visit was turning out. From Vinny storming in angry as shaffit to them sitting here holding hands and talking about the other woman's past. It was something she didn't think would happen. She bit her lip as Vinny squeezed her hand then let go. She'd finally gotten to actually touch her and it seemed to have passed so quickly. She debated on further crossing the line for a moment before she leaned over and gave Vinsica a quick hug. "No need to thank me. I'd do it all over again if ya asked."

Roduth groaned and playfully hid his face from Pileeth. Please do not list them. Unlike my Aislyn I do not take pleasure in hearing about my appealing features. And he wasn't sure if he really wanted to hear what the green would say. She seemed like she would get plenty of pleasure out of embarrassing him.

Hm, perhaps you are more like mine that I originally thought. Rumbled, too slow in bringing his head back to escape the light nip he'd got in return to his lick. I would like to see you dragging me anywhere. He joked, making a show of stretching out his full length.

While physical contact spoke very powerfully to Vinsica, she rarely allowed herself to communicate through it. Gripping Aislyn's hand, even as light as she did, was both plea and thanks. When the redhead took it one step farther, lightly rubbing her knuckles, Vinny didn't pull away. It was oddly comforting, and Vinsica almost forgot that she was trying to gather her composure.

So quickly had her anger dissipated. What was left behind was...a vulnerability she didn't enjoy feeling. Yet Aislyn wasn't taking advantage of it. As much as she denied it--and might have been correct in other matters--Aislyn was unlike any person Vinny had met. It still confused her how the copperrider's perception and priorities could be so vastly different than anything Vinny had met, but she had to regain control of herself. This visit had taken such a dramatic turn from what Vinsica had expected.

But there was a flash of Aislyn's humor, and even Vinny smirked subtly. "Your secret's safe with me--" and she would have said more except Aislyn closed the distance between them. The hug was totally unexpected. It shouldn't have been, knowing Aislyn, yet Vinny still stiffened from surprise. It took her a moment to realize what the redhead said, a longer moment for a hand to hesitantly rest on Aislyn's back. The tender gesture stirred something foreign, but Vinsica cleared her throat and patted the other woman's back. That's what people did to end hugs right?

"I hope you won't need to. I'd rather not get that injured again," and Faranth wasn't that an understatement. "Twice is enough for me." That kind of a deadly injury was something she wished on no one. If the initial wound didn't kill someone, there was a 4 in 5 chance the treatment would cause a life-threatening infection. Vinny had been lucky the first time. Luckier the second to overcome the infection. She swore she still had difficulty breathing deeply.

Aw, don't enjoy hearing your praises sung? she teased, prodding at his wing with hers when he hid his face. Just as well, I have a terrible voice.

As he stretched out, she made a point of looking from head to tail and back, and if a dragon could roll their eyes in an unimpressed fashion, Pileeth would have done so just then. Please, you mean you wouldn't follow my pretty tail? Not even through the sky?

Pride swelled in Aislyn's chest the longer Vinsica continued to let her touch her. How odd that this was something that the red head found to be just as exciting as racing through the air with Roduth. She honestly wasn't used to caring so much about the boundaries of someone else and yet she had been so careful with keeping a certain distance between herself and the Healer. Physically at least. Emotionally she had been attempting to bust down some walls but always trying to keep herself from going too far. But here she was, not only allowing the touch but returning it as well. Maybe her being more thoughtful about what she was doing or saying around Vinny was worth it all.

Though she would deny it if anyone else said she treated her any differently than anyone else.

Aislyn never caught the subtle smirk, but she would've done the same thing if she had. Instead her mind was wondering if she had perhaps done something very bad with the way that Vinny had stiffened. Before she could pull away though, Vinsica's hand was on her back. Feck, she'd gotten away with a lot today even though this visit had been made out of anger. She doubted she would regret it though. The moment she heard the other woman clear her throat and pat her back she pulled away with a slightly sheepish grin.

"Honestly, I'd rather you stay in one piece as well." Aislyn had no idea how bad the injury really was. All she knew was that it had caused her a great deal of pain and she had been having trouble breathing. All really bad things in Aislyn's mind. She probably would've agreed about Vinsica being extremely lucky to survive both wounds.

I don't need my praises sung. Roduth replied. I'd like to think I'm aware of my faults and merits. His tail twitched slightly as he tried to keep his voice sounding somewhat serious. But Pileeth mentioning her voice reminded him of something. Oh! If you really want something sung, I'd recommend mine. She's quite good at singing.

After finishing his stretch, he curled back around the green and opened an eye to look at her. Are you asking me to Chase you? Or play tag? He teased, flicking his tongue out at her again.

Oh, so your rider can sing your praises while you chase me, Pileeth teased mercilessly, leaning into his flank a little more and nuzzling his cheek and getting a lick in of her own. I might need reminding if you do decide to follow. Other males are quite handsome too, you know. Alright, so someone might be a touch proddy or she was feeling more flirty than usual. Either way, she was intrigued by the thought of Aislyn singing.

You'll never hear her admit it, but Vinny loves music. One of the only things she enjoys about Gathers or feasts. If Vinny attended them outside of the first aid tent, anyway. If not, she was often too focused on fixing injuries caused by stupidity or daring to notice the Harpers.

It was unusually difficult to gather her professional faculties. Whether that was because of the emotional nature of the situation or the redhead next to her, Vinny wasn't certain. Considering Aislyn had seen Vinny in a couple very compromising situations, it was no wonder she felt a little more at ease around the woman. Despite her best intentions. Aislyn releasing her let Vinny release a settling breath, though whatever had stirred in her was...disappointed that the hug had ended so soon. The dragonhealer ignored the sensation and chalked it up to being emotionally drained.

"Next time, I'll try to dodge faster," she commented with self-depricating humor. Shards, had she not moved when she did, she probably would have gotten a lot worse than a scalpel in her ribs. Had that patient managed to grab the scalpel instead... Well, no use thinking about "what ifs" except to better prepare for their eventuality. "I have the constant reminder," she touched her side where the scars rested along her ribs.

Immediately she felt she'd gone too far and was about to stand to excuse herself--and not apologize for bursting in as she had--when Pileeth suddenly came bounding in.

Vinsica! Did you know Aislyn can sing?

It took a long second for Vinny to react. She just...blinked at Pileeth's use of Aislyn's name. That didn't happen. Ever. Not from Pileeth anyway. Vinny didn't want to analyze what that meant. Not just then. Instead, she turned to Aislyn and gave an apologetic look. "We'd better go before she demands a demonstration."

I don't think she can sing if I'm chasing you. He mused, unsure if Aislyn would even think about it. She did rarely sing around other people these days. Pulled from his thoughts when Pileeth nuzzled his cheek before sneaking her own lick, Roduth couldn't help the laugh. Of course, I'll be sure to remind you that you personally invited me. He teased in return.

Hearing that Vinsca liked music, the copper glanced into the weyr. Interesting. A shame she wasn't around during Aislyn's first few turns here. She was often playing along during the Gathers. Though I'm sure if she was persuaded she might play along again. One just had to do so in the correct way.

A slight grin appeared on Aislyn's lips at the comment. "Hm, well I'd certainly appreciate that." She joked before Vinny moved to touch her side where the scars were. Before she could comment about having some of her own when Pileeth suddenly came in. Blinking, Aislyn faced the green with an amused look. Until she heard the comment about her singing.

Roduth.

Eyes narrowed slightly as she felt the much too innocent feeling coming from her dragon. He was out there telling Pileeth things about her, eh? Sighing, she returned her attention back to the green and raised a brow. "What part of Harper did you guys not get? I can play several instruments as well." If she noticed the fact that Vinny was surprised by Pileeth saying her name she sure didn't show it.

She then glanced back as Vinsica turned her way again. It was unsurprising that she would take this chance to leave. It had been a long and most likely emotional draining conversation for her after all. Chuckling, she pushed herself up to stand. "Yes, we can't have that. It's been a while since I sang in front of anyone other than Roduth anyways. Might be rusty. Wouldn't want to damage your ears."
