"Uen, get back here!" Nira called, watching the handicapped flit fly awkwardly out of reach over the water. Ren chirped from her head, staring longingly after his egg brother. He shifted his useless wings.
"Jaya?" Nira asked her gold, and the queen crooned, flying out and fetching the young tabby. Glace snorted from her other shoulder, put out about being passed over by a gold. "Glace." Th trainer warned, then sat slowly down on the sand in the secluded cove. Ren wandered from her shoulder, limping across the sand, poking experimentaly at things. Marvanth settled down on a rock, resting her head on the end of her tail, laying in the sun. Jaya and Glace flew off to bicker, while Uen followed after Ren, limping as well.
What a bunch. She murmered to the abuto, who mearly grunted.

"Oh, dear, you poor woman," Thistlen said, beaming at the other female cheerfully. She had a flit on each shoulder, Kai on the left and Jobber on the right. "I have enough trouble with these two!"

"They're still young, that's all. It's takes time to train them." Nira answered, looking up at Thistlen. Ren came tottering back, pushing himself onto her lap. The trainer hummed gently to him, and fook his knarled forepaw in her hand.
"Silly." She murmered, and pulled out a shard of a shell. "Watch your feet now." She said, and watched the gray Tabby totter off again. "Watch your brother." She called after him, wondering where he'd went.

Thistlen grinned at the little flitts, following them with her eyes as they toddles around obliviously. "They remind me of myself, frankly."

"Really?" Nira asked, distracted by an angry screetch. Jaya came soaring back, a long gash in her side, and Glace following after. Nira angrily got to her feet, catching Jaya in her hands, and refusing to let the Ice alight on her shoulders or head. Marvanth raised her head.
Glace, behave. Leave Jaya lone. She stated grumpily, and the Glace took to hovering above her while Nira examined the golds side.
"Glace, go back to our room." She said to the Ice in a deadly voice. Glace chittered once in acknowledgment, and flew between.
"I'm sorry you had to see that. They're not getting along very well." Nira said sadly to Thistlen, tearing the cuff of her sleave to make a little bandage.

"You'd better be careful," Thistlen advised, looking on. "You should clean out the wound first. It's just like a knife wound- you never know what was on the weapon. You wouldn't want it infected. I once got knifed in the side and it got infected. I'm sharding lucky I'm still alive, after that." Kai chirped in agreement.

"You don't need to tell me these things like I'm a child, dear lady." Nira retorted, eyeing Thistlen with dislike. She hated people who though she knew nothing, and told her what to do. Jaya chirped once, pulling gently at her torn cuff in reminder. She turned her eyes back to her flitt, and summoned Uen through their bond.
"Beneath the bed there's a brown pouch. Please get it. Don't take any fuss from your clutch sister." She said, and the tabby chirped, flying up from the sand, and disappearing between. He returned a few moments later holding a small satchel, and in a grumpy mood. He dropped the bag on her lap, and chittered at her grumpily. Nira smiled.
"Well, at least she's behaving now. Come here, it's that time again." Uen opened his mouth regretfully, and the trainer opened the pouch, removed a smaller pouch, and took a pinch of powder from inside. She sprinkled this over his tongue, then took out a small jar of numbweed, and fresh bandages from the pouch.
"You can go now, Uen." She said softly, and he hopped off, leaving three foot prints in his wake. Nira quickly tended to Jaya's wound.

Thistlen blinked. "Oy, no need to scaffer me," she informed the woman gravely as Kai and Jobber shifted on her shoulders, made uncomfortable by the sudden chill from Nira. "Don't need to act like a raver, dell." After a moment, she shrugged. "Don't bother me, though. Wasn't tellin' you how t'do your job, if that's what set you off. Just a friendly reminder, now't else."

Nira sighed, and stood, placing Jaya on her shoulder as she went. "My apologies. My fair has had me aggravated for some time. They are such trouble makers, when they're so young."
She turned her head to look at Uen, growling at a crab that scuttled up the beach towards him. Now it was Ren who had disppeared. Marvanth was asleep by now, rather used to the loud antics of the fair.

Thistlen shrugged. Apologies didn't mean much on the streets. "No skin off my back, nor yours," she said by way of acceptance. Unfortunately, Jobber chose this moment to jump into the air, screeching, and land on her head. She stared up at him for several moments, as did Kai. There was silence. "Well, okay, then."

Nira smiled, finding the little Ivory quite an interesing fire lizard. Jaya agreed, and crooned gently in hiccupping laughter. Ren chose that moment to reappear, scrambing over rocks as best as his withered leg and wings would allow. Following quickly after him came an angry turtle, surprisingly faster than the handicapped flitt. Nira sighed again, looking on. Without having been asked, Marvanth was awake, and soon was standing on the turtle. Nira scooped Ren into her arms, and the mirror abuto let the turtle get up and scurry back to ocean, while Marvanth returned to her rock.
"What a group." The trainer murmered, stroking Ren's head to calm him.

Thistlen blinked at the turtle, fascinated. "What was that?" she asked, pointing in the direction the creature had gone.

"A turtle. They live around here. Not in the Weyr though, but mostly down here by the water or in the forest." Nira answered, sitting back down in the sand. Off in the ocean a couple of Dolphins broke the barrier of air and water, their sleek bodies glinting in the sun before they dove back down with hardly a splash.
"Beautiful creatures." She said, refering to the dolphins. Uen returned to her, flying to her unoccupied shoulder.

Thistlen blinked at the dolphins as well, silently agreeing. They were pretty. But... "What are they?" she asked, yet again. Jobber and Kai watched the dolphins, respectively from Thistlen's head and shoulder.

Nira sighed. "Shipfish. But their real name is dolphin. They came from the homeworld. You do know the tales of that, correct?" She answered and asked, reffering to the lessons AVAIS had passed down, that had almost been forgotten over the course of time. Lucky the harpers and printers kept up their work.
