"Really? I've never heard anything like that." She said, amazed. "Ren and Uen, huh? Good names."

Nira shrugged. "They hatched during a Weyrling lesson I was teaching, and those names seemed to work, under the circumstances." They had reached the top of the incline, which was revealed to be a wide hill, with it's top bare of trees and scrubbly bushes. High above Marvanth glided on bright wings. She suddenly dove, spinning and pull gracefully out of it and into a quick loop, before veering gently away, singing in a high tone. Her voice was so unique, so difficult to explain as she sung, that the best thing it could come close to was perhaps a birds trilling whistle.

Mal stared at Marvanth, stunned. "She is so.... Graceful....." She whispered.
Leath hummed, watching the abuto, too.

Nira smiled. "She's practising for her Dance. In a few sevendays she will dance again. I thought you would like to see this. It's something that's hard to forget." Uen and Glace left the trainer to humm along with Marvanth, and she in turn lowered her pitch so they could harmonize. she simplified her moves, and abuto and fire lizards did them together. Ren looked on sadly, flexinghis crippled wings wistfully.

Leath looked at Ren, wishing she could help him. Not having flight.... That would be horrible.
Mal nodded in agreement. "It will stay with me forever..." She murmured.

"It is both a relaxing and exciting thing to see. No other creature here can do anything like it." Nira answered, and looked down at the flightless Tabby, moping in her arms. "He may not fly, but he's spirited. Perhaps he'll find another way to fly." Ren looked up, hopeful at these words, and she smiled at him.

"Perhaps." She agreed. "Um... Your nokas. Do they have Skill?" She asked uncertainly.

Nira raised an eyebrow and turned to her. "What kind of skills do you mean?" She asked, a finger running along Ren's small eyeridges. In the high Marvanth trilled up into another octave, swooping down in a quick spiral before leveling, then climbing steeply. Glace and Uen tried valiantly to follow her, though the Tabby had trouble with his shriveled tail.

"Skill. It is what the Seleks of Mystik call their ability. It is like... Magic, I guess you could say." Mal explained quickly.

Nira thought for a moment. "I don't actually know much about the Noka...You'd need to speak with Trainer Cari. She knows them better, and has one for a companion. As I understand it, they have amazing telekinetic abilities. They can't go between like dragons, but they can acess a place they call Ote. Using the power from Ote, they can enhance their regular 'powers'. That's all I understand though..." 'She trailed off as Uen drifted down, alighting on her shoulder as he tired from the Dance. Glace was tiring, but tried her best to continue to follow Marvanth.

"Well... If they do have a type of Skill, then a noka could always aid Ren, making an aritificial wing for him so he could fly." Mal said slowly. That might work...

Nira looked at her, amused. "Never thought about it like that. Perhaps they could make something like that, or instruct the smiths on how to make it. They remember all the knowledge that we've lost again over time."
Marvanth let out a sudden low trill, spinning in midair to face an aggressive lava that had approached, lured by her song and actions. For once, Glace flew to Nira, shivering with fear of what the large abuto male might do. The mirrors nostrils widened in anger an astonishment.
Lava same in Tasyth Dance. She said. Nira passed on the message, alarmed.

Mal looked from the lava to Marvanth, startled. "What is it going to do to her?" She asked, a bit scared. She didn't know about abuto dances and all that.
Should I scare him off? Leath asked, her message extended to Nira, too.

"Marvanth doesn't want interference.." Nira said aloud, then turned again to Mal. "This male abuto participated in Marvanth's foster daughter's Dance. He was agressive, and Marvanth protected her from him because she has a permanent injury. That Lava there is probably going to get back at her now, because this isn't a true Dance, and he isn't bound by abuto law." She took another breath after the quick explanation. Ren and Uen cirped fearfully together, and Glace and Uen joined Ren in Nira's arms, all three of them cowering.
ooc// Care to take control of the always-angry lava?

((*stares* I could try, but I might ruin him.))
Mal frowned. "How will he get back at her?" She asked, watching the two in the sky. This was bad...
Leath wanted to go chance the lava away, but she didn't move, as was Marvanth's wish.
