A new start... (Summer, open)

R'niaan felt the breeze on his face as he turned to walk away from his Crimson. They had just arrived back from Ice Stone, having to leave Yuki's side for a reappearance to reassure everyone that he would be coming back.

Royal chirped and chittered at Bamath from R'niaan's shoulder, leaping away and soaring over to land on her beloved Crimson's shoulder. The Copper-Black beauty latched onto the riding straps as Bamath leaped to the heights where he could sun, where both proceeded to stretch out their wings and become lazy.

R'niaan was ready to see Yuki and possibly Yura. With expecting a little one, he still wanted to bring Yura home with them. It would most definitely make Yuki feel better, having her children near her. However, as a Rider it was only expected to be parted from family. He made his way to the lower caverns, trying to figure out where that woman was hiding out.

Yuki was allowed to stroll around the Weyr now, but the LifeWings and their Riders still wanted to monitor her just in case there was any unknown harm done to the child she carried. She understood completely, but she did wish they wouldn't always hover around her when she was inside. She had quite a while still before the child was due to be born, but they wanted to make sure that nothing else went wrong.

Ayleneth was sunning herself on a ledge, higher up the Weyr's inner wall. She saw the Crimson's form descend, and she stood and stretched before flaring her wings and gliding down to land beside him.

{I thought the two of you would be gone longer,} she admitted when she landed. {After all, there is a new batch of Weyrlings, and another group soon, yes? Temperanth is due to Rise again soon, after all.}

"Ah, miss Yuki, you're looking well."

"Oh, thank you," she replied pleasantly. "You're looking well yourself. How are the children?"

"Oh, well, Stanor's come down with a fever, but Nostari is taking care of him. Have you seem your own daughter recently?"

"Not since my return. The healers wanted to be sure that I was recovered before they allowed me the freedom to do so," she replied with a laugh. "But I'm going to head over to the crèche now. It was nice to see you again!"

"And you. Well, take care." Yuki nodded and made her way through the caverns.
