Characters: Cosani, Sh'low
Description: Sh'low has a crush on Cosani.
Location: Dolphin Cove Weyr
Date: month 6, day 19 of Turn 5
Sh'low had watched and admired her for a while now from afar, since he first saw her. She probably didn't even know he existed. He was one of the youngest riders in the Weyrling class, and would not graduate to the fighting wings. She was much older and besides, she was the Weyrleader's daughter.
Now the young bluerider had finally worked up the courage to approach and talk to her. "Hi, Cosani," he greeted.
"Hi." She frowned a little. She recognized the fellow weyrling, but they weren't in the same group so she didn't know him well.
"What are you going to do tonight?" He asked, heart hammering with nervousness. He wished he could flirt as easily as his father and grandfather.
"What? Why do you want to know that?" Her frown deepened.
"I want to ask you to go out with me," Sh'low replied.
"You ... what?!" Cosani's mouth dropped open.
"Have a date with me, please?" Sh'low said and watcher her with his big, brown puppy-eyes.
"No. Why would I date you? I hardly know you." And he was younger, and she wasn't interested in him.
"Why not? You would never know if you don't see the bother to learn to know me", Sh'low replied with eager and sincere expression.
"I'm not interested," she said.
Sh'low looked crestfallen.
Cosani rolled her eyes. "See you later." She turned away.
Sh'low tried to give her the appealing, puppy-eyed look that was so effective when wheedling out cookies from the kitchen ladies. "Please?" He followed her.
"You think begging is going to change my mind?" Her opinion of him started tilting from uninterested to annoyed.
"Gotta try something," Sh'low replied with a grin. He wondered how his father and grandfather did it. They never lacked female (or male in case of his father) companionship.
Cosani made a displeased noise and kept walking.
This time Sh'low didn't follow or beg. He could recongize when he was about cross the line over to aggravating someone.
