"Good morning, H'mos," Sh'vair said with a sleepy smile as he put on his apron and picked up a knife. "How is Mosiyth today?"

"Eating like he will not be eating again for the rest of his life." he chuckled.

"Yeah, the first day I couldn't believe how much Nidogath could eat. I wondered just where he _put_ it all. And then I learned he stored it in his tail." Sh'vair made a face as he started hacking of hunks of meat. "And then I had to clean it all up..."

"Hmmm..." He smiled, "I can't wait till they can take care of that business in the nothingness of /between/."

"There are other reasons to be excited about their going /between/,"
Sh'vair grinned. "Having a weyr of ones own would be so very nice."

"Yes and many of the restrictions would be lifted too." He smiled.

"Well, yes, there is that." Sh'vair really didn't want to think too deeply about _that_ particular perk of senior weyrlinghood. "But I'm also looking forward to flying anywhere on Pern I want to go."

"I'd want to visit home. I want my Gran to meet Mosiyth. She wasn't able to make the trip here for the hatching." He smiled. He knew there were other reasons to go there. "Yeah, I guess I was lucky that my family all lives right here. Everyone was in the stands, and I can see them on restdays." Sh'vair knew he could never be happy far away from his mother. She was very special to him. "And my folks are taking care of Adori while I'm in weyrling training. Until I have my own weyr at least."

"Lord Puddles has been staying with the beastcrafters while I've been a weyrling. I really miss him though." He smiled.

"What does Mosiyth think of him?"

"He often tells me the beast has far to much energy. And he looks funny." H'mos chuckled. It had been very interesting when the two had first met.

That made Sh'vair grin. "He looks funny, huh?"

}:Well, they do look a little funny,:{ Nidogath confirmed sleepily.

"It seems my blue agrees."

"I suspect that anything that is not a dragon is strange and funny looking to them." He chuckled. }:Well you are strange looking. You are all skinny and lack wings. That doesn't mean I would exchange you for anything. Your weirdness is perfect to me.:{ Mosiyth informed his rider.

H'mos started laughing, "Mosiyth says I am funny looking too. I am to skinny and lack wings. And yet he believes me perfect."

The blue weyrling couldn't help it. That struck him as the funniest thing he had ever heard! "Well, that's very kind of him," Sh'vair managed to say gasping for breath and holding his side.

H'mos began to laugh all the harder, between gasps he managed to say, "They sure can say the strangest things can't they?"

"Yeah they can," Sh'vair nodded, wiping an amused tear from his eye.
**Funny and lacking wings... that's classic...** "But I can't imagine life without them."

"No, neither can I." He said with a smile.
