Tavia

Sawauth's timing was off. Tavia had realized that when she started
late in the day following her rise. Cramps during the next days
Threadfall were just evil and it threw her into a nasty mood for most
of the next sevenday. As proddy as her green had been before her rise
Tavia worked herself crazy until finally she realized she needed to
just let go and take a break.

She packed a small bag and took off from the infirmary a few hours
early. She flew to a cove intending on the warmth and relaxation on
the beach but by late in the afternoon she had decided it was time for
some companionship. She was fairly sure she knew a willing participant
and restday was just around the corner... so off they went.

They flew directly into Kalamath's weyr but she already knew he wasn't
there. They'd given the watchdragon an excuse of a message from
Dolphin Cove as they had in the past and gotten through with a wave.
Dropping from the green's back Tavia walked into the weyr proper
calling "U'kaiah?" Sawauth didn't take Kalamath's couch it was way too
big for her but curled up near by. When Tavia didn't hear any
response her eyes filled with mischief, and she quickly pulled off her
clothing and lay down on her stomach on his bed to wait.

Before long, she could hear the sound of the latch and the groaning of
hinges as the large wooden door to his sizable weyr swung open.
Shuffling of feet, followed by the hollow clanging of a bucket being
deposited on stone floor. The unmistakable crash as a brush was thrown
in, and the soft squish as a bag of sweet sand was piled on top.
Finally a cabinet opened, and a ceramic jar was placed on a wooden
shelf, presumable filled with oil.

She smiled "Kalamath must be feeling much better now." she said,
thinking Sawauth probably would be wanting her own bath soon.

A head of curly black hair peaked around the door frame, though it did
not belong to the bronzerider she had been expecting. "Hello," Kaiafel
said with a curious cock of his head as he looked at the woman sprawled
out across his father's bed.

A small 'eeep' of surprise escaped her and she grabbed a corner of the
fur she lay on to throw over her exposed bottom and pulled some of the
other edge toward her chest. "Um... Hello," she said eying the child
"I'm Tavia" she said feeling like giggles were going to erupt any
moment. Never in her wildest imagination had she thought up this
scene.

The boy seemed completely unphased as he stepped fully into the doorway.
"I'm Kaiafel. Are you waiting for my Da?"

She couldn't restrain the burble of laughter and replied with "As a
matter of fact I am. Nice to meet you Kaiafel"

"Are you going on the picnic with us, then?" he asked curiously.
Kaiafel was rarely ever shy around strangers.

"I'm sure I would love to," she said surprising herself with her
answer. But in reality the thought of a picnic with U'kaiah and his
son was quite a pleasant prospect after the last few sevendays. "Where
_is_ your da?"

"He's coming soon. He's getting our lunch from the kitchens." Kaiafel
turned his head as he heard the door swing open behind him. "Da!
Tavia's here."

The bronzerider cocked his head in a manner that very much mirrored the
boy's earlier expression. Setting the basket on the table, he strode
across the room to stand behind his son. His eyebrows lifted, more in
surprise for her obvious lack of clothing than to see the greenrider had
chosen to surprise him yet again. All he could think to utter was a
very eloquent, "Oh." This might be hard to explain.

Taking in his stunned expression she widened her eyes in impish
delight "Surprise!" she said with a giggle then added "Got enough in
there for me too?"

"Tavia's coming with us," Kaiafel explained.

This was a double surprise. "Oh, I see. Well, we'll get more."

Kaiafel turned back to the greenrider. "Did you bring clothes with
you?"

Her forehead dropped to the bed in helpless laughter. "Yes," came the
muffled reply. Then her head came up again and she pointed to where
she'd dropped her bag across the room. "My bag is over there." She had
a nice dress in there she could throw over her head to cover up.

"Yes, son, Tavia usually wears clothes," U'kaiah began to explain.
"She's just not wearing them now because... Well..." There his
explanation died and he looked to the greenrider for assistance.

"I was... hot when I got here." she said, "I needed to cool down." she
widened her eyes at the bronze rider. She looked toward the kid "Maybe
you could bring me that bag?" she asked hopefully.

Kaiafel rolled his eyes as he walked over to do as she asked. "I know
you weren't cold. I know you want to have sex with my Da."

"What? No!" U'kaiah protested, more than a little surprised that his
eight-turn-old son had come to that conclusion. "It was hot in Dolphin
Cove and she just needed to cool down a bit is all."

"Da, women take off their clothes and lie on your bed when they want to
have sex with you," the little boy explained in a rather patient tone as
he held the bag out for the bronzerider. "Chufil's brother has a book
that has pictures of naked women on beds and they _all_ want to have
sex."

She bit her lip while he was looking up at his dad. She felt sympathy
but had no idea how to deal wtih boy or distract him from the subject.
She didn't remember knowing anything about sex when she was that age
but then she was a late bloomer. "You know? We should go to Dolphin
Cove, I know a great _private_ cove on the beach where we can have the
picnic and he can see how really warm it is there. I think it's about
93 degrees today"

"We'll talk about Chufil's book later." U'kaiah had always known they
would _eventually_ have to talk about this kind of thing. It was
happening a little earlier than he expected, but perhaps it was time.
After all, he had looked up his fair share of skirts by the time he was
Kaiafel's age, he was sure. "Son, why don't you run downstairs and ask
the kitchens to prepare another picnic basket for us. And maybe ask
them to throw in some sweet rolls as well."

The talk of sweet rolls was enough to induce the boy to take off at a
run. The broznerider chuckled softly as he slammed the door behind him
in his haste. "Yup. He's _my_ son."

Once the boy was out the door she rolled over on her back and started
laughing kicking her feet against the bed. "Yes he is," she giggled.
"Oh you have your hands full with that one. He's no dim glow!"

"Of course not. He's _my_ son," he laughed, hitched a leg to perch on
the bed beside her. Laying an hand on her stomach, he said, "So... I
hear you want to have sex with me."

"The thought had crossed my mind," she quipped "but I'd better get
dressed before he gets back. We can discuss the rest later."

"Oh?" His eyebrows raised teasingly. "So you're assuming there will be
a later?"

She sat up and smiled with both brows raised. "Well if you don't want
sex, I _can_ just go if it's too much bother."

"Oh, now, don't jump to conclusions," he grinned, putting a hand down on
the other side of her before she could escape and leaned in close. "I
just wanted to make sure we were both flying the same wing formation is
all."

"Aye sir!" she said with a mock salute. "I'll be formed up on your
right Wingleader sir." Then she leaned in closer and whispered.
"Sweetrolls aren't going to take him very long unless I miss my guess.
If you don't mind I'd like to be clothed the next time he walks
through the door!"

"The kitchens are a few levels down and he'll be hauling a picnic basket
up the stairs. And I really want to kiss you right now." After all, he
was never one to waste a naked woman in his bed!

She recognized that look in his eye and knew she wasn't getting off
the bed without paying so she smiled and paid with gusto.
