Greetings from sunny Dolphin Cove!
There’s always a lot happening here in our lovely tropical paradise �" everything from friendship to romance to dastardly villains. So let’s get to it!
E’tariax is vividly reminded that he should stretch properly before vigorous physical activity. Luckily Nidre is willing to get him medication and only teases him a little. S’kand remembers the first time Jagobroth caught Aphirith and how amazing the flight was. But when he and E’tariax attempt things without dragonlust, they find making out is . . . less than stellar.
After Ingrizon’s attack, R’lor checks on R’ayl and does his best to comfort the young bluerider. The morning after R’ayl is attacked, the Lighting Wing riders celebrate Gil and Tr’vel’s heroism. After Gil’s injury heals, he and Tr’vel have a race in the Weyrbowl, much to the delight of I’lek and the other retired riders. Under R’lor’s supervision, Gil teaches R’ayl some extra self-defense and the former holder gets up close and personal with Tr’vel as they spar.
Gilbek asks Tr’vel to deliver a letter to the cotholders who took care of him. Tr’vel happily agrees, and the old couple is glad to get word that Gil is doing well. Tr'vel brings Gil for a visit and they both enjoy a meal with Amigene and Rhysel. It seems the former prisoner and his former guard keep getting closer.
N’vanik explains the attack in the Dining Cavern to Cyradis. The Weyrwoman is furious and fed up with the attacks against the Weyr and tells N’vanik he can do what he wants with Ingrizon. N’vanik tries to do the right thing and goes to Corofel, and the young lord insists on a public hearing before he declares Ingrizon holdless. While waiting for the date of the hearing, N’vanik remembers staking out Shuvan for Thread and how Cyradis argued to spare Enali’s life.
Iskara and Cosani are less than pleased with some of their new wingmates, and they don’t care who hears them. Ç'pier is their main target and he sasses back to the greenriders. Y’dran arrives at Dolphin Cove with several family members and meets with the Weyrleader. Z’kylo gets a welcome to his new Wing from a fellow greenrider. R’lant and B’nell have a pleasant chat over breakfast. He also gives a physical to a rider. Meledei returns to Dolphin Cove and goes to catch up with N’vanik. O’rosin visits his family and while he admits he’s seeing someone, he doesn’t mention who it is. Lorican meets I’lek and gets an idea for a way the disabled greenrider might be able to use a flamethrower in Fall. Ysiel gets a minor injury and is glad to be treated by the handsome Vandor.
H’run can’t sleep and meets A’khal stargazing. H’run gets some help working on his painting skills from a Master Harper. He also meets Cosani and they share a bath. During another early morning, H’run runs into A’khal again and they agree to exchange a poem for a favor, but what favor remains to be seen (A’khal draws the line at singing in front of people). Looking to fix his gitar, H’run goes to B’nell and realizes they know each other.
The new brownrider Wingleader R’kede is settling into his role. N’tan meets with his new Wingleader and R’kede asks for recommendations on who he should choose as ‘Second. R’kede takes his advice and offers the rank to a fellow brownrider. R’kede remembers Iskara from when they were younger and she beat him in a sailing race. The Headwoman is happy to provide R’kede a larger weyr. R’kede discusses with his ‘Second and ’Third how to divide up their duties. He has some criticism for Ç'pier and decides to shift his position, which the younger brownrider misinterprets. Ç'pier still believes his fellow riders will send him to his death.
R’lor talks to Saedyna and encourages her to try having a pleasant experience of sex before Avarith’s first flight. She approaches C’rand and B’lyse and ends up accidentally talking herself into a threesome. When Avarith rises, Saedyna worries who she’ll end up with. To her surprise, it’s Tirraze, and even more surprising is how much they both enjoy it. Saedyna goes to her friend Cirina to get help figuring out her feelings for Tirraze. The greenrider finds the courage to ask Tirraze on a date, and the bluerider eagerly agrees.
I’serin asks E’tariax to become his mindhealer and they have their first session. The bronzerider discusses his difficulties with becoming Weyrleader. During another meeting, E’tariax asks I’serin about his father. Oh boy, what a can of worms that is! After one of his sessions, I’serin has a talk with N’vanik. Despite their different personalities and styles, the two Weyrleaders seem to get along well.
V’tian asks Cirina for tips on firelizard hunting. With help from Chandrany, V’tian goes to a beach in search of firelizard eggs. They’re successful, but not without a bit of tragedy. T’lin approaches V’tian to offer help getting ready for Indith’s first flight and they decide to spend a little time together first. The two of them have a pleasant time at a Gather, and when they get home V’tian finds the courage to take the next step.
The Candidates have been busy while they wait for their chance on the Sands. Nijen transfers to Dolphin Cove and goes to speak with the mother he barely knows. After losing his fostermother, he’s desperate for a parental connection, and Nidre wants to try for his sake. Afterwards, Nijen reflects on his conversation with Nidre and finds hope. A new Candidate arrives and meets Ryvankal and Oriene. Chandrany’s mother encourages her to look for work in the lower caverns, worried that failing to Impress will break her. Chandrany gets her friend Farangen to agree to weyrmate if neither of them Impresses. Ilthralos discusses with his wife what will happen if she Impresses. He spends time working on The Weyr Report, which he hopes will grow in circulation.
A’vel Searches Juvelyas, who jumps at the chance to escape to the Weyr. Once there, he doesn’t make friends with Ryvankal and Oriene despite their attempts. Kaedin talks to the Weyrlingmaster about his hopes for Impression. When Noruith gets a minor injury in Fall, Kaedin tends to him. Kaedin talks with a fellow dragonhealer apprentice while they take inventory. Cirina exchanges gossip via letter with Aydhara, though firelizard delivery is less than reliable. Lindora comes to speak with the Weyrlingmaster about potential living arrangements for her daughter if the young mother decides to Stand. R’lor takes the Candidates on trip to a Gather and they decide to turn dancing into a competition.
Reyela and Ryvankal go on a date. A terrible date. K’don, on the other hand, has a better time with his crush at a party. But when he encourages Maciath to chase Eismuth, Ç'pier ends up with the prize instead and K’don is left unsettled. Later they smooth things over and the greenrider promises to guide K’don through sexual experience. He’s not the only rider without experience. O’dyn goes to R’lor to see if there’s a way to prevent Genireth from chasing. Sex is gross!
R’lor updates his class materials on dragonrider sexuality, and Sh’del teases him for not noticing until now that some brownriders are into men. Alyena discusses a request R’lor has for some special equipment for bluerider Tirraze.
After visiting Barrier Lake and seeing Kapera unconscious in the infirmary, Talryne seeks comfort with her weyrmate, the man who became her anchor after she lost her own dragon. Sh’del and Talryne have a drink and talk about the recently graduated weyrlings and how she’s feeling with Riyanth’s death bringing up her trauma.
But hope abounds at Dolphin Cove as a large, healthy clutch hatches and new bonds are formed. Ryvankal Impresses Indrath, a blue chooses Juvelyas, and Oriene . . . walks away alone again. She makes a decision about her future and tells her friend Tirraze. Chandrany, too, is once again disappointed. Aicha is overjoyed to Impress Luranth.
N’vanik catches up with his old friend G’zan. They first met when they were Holdess teenagers, and crossed paths again when they were both riders. N’vanik was less than polite to G’zan, but later asks for them to start over because he’s in need of friends. Things get a little interesting after Loseth catches Panghuth and N’vanik doesn’t leave the flight cot right away.
Things heat up at the Feast when N’vanik and Z’kim put on a show with a blazing hot dance. Vianne has a dance with her beloved husband Ilthralos. I’serin tries to figure out what’s going on between N’vanik and Z’kim while they shamelessly flirt in front of him. K’mai is sure they’re sleeping together and tells I’serin as much before he goes to ask the Dolphin Cove Weyrleader for a dance. N’vanik obliges him while I’serin partners with Talryne. K’mai apologizes to H’run for what happened at Dragonsfall and they discuss how neither of them can change their feelings. K’mai gets a dance with Z’kim and tries to get the greenrider to admit he’s sleeping with N’vanik. Z’kim runs into H’run and brags about sharing flights with N’vanik.
Nidre’s gold Jossenth Rises and is caught by . . . a brown?!? From Dragonsfall?!?!? What an upset for the Dolphin Cove bronzes!
