"why do people watch stars, Kouryouth?" L'kouree asked, leaning on the watch-tower railing, his hands propping up his head. his green-grey eyes were half closed but focused heavenward. He looked at the stars, and wondered at mankind's fasination with them.
The stars held no mystical power, he knew. and yet...there was something mystical about them nonetheless.something fascinating, that forced him to climb up to the watchtower and look at them. the veiw, he thought, was better here than at the astrology tower. he sighed.
He was dressed in a simple brown cloak draped around his shoulders, a gold-colored tunic, and brown pants. nothing terribly fancy today. he had his golden hair kept out of his eyes by a red band of cloth. Behind him, Dega and Bayne were doing something between themselves.
Kouryouth, seated on a ledge in all of his dark-bronzey glory, looked at his mind confusedly. he wished with great frequency that L'kouree would stop asking those questions. They didn't really have to do with anything practical, and If L'kouree didn't know the answer, why did he think Kouryouth did? if it didn't have anything to do with females or food, Kouryouth usually held little intrest.
+I don't know, L'koureemine...why do you asl me such questions?+
"I dunno...I figure you might see things differently...see something I don't," L'kouree explained to his beloved dragon, glancing at Kouryouth's thread-scarred hide. most of the wounds L'kouree got from thread recovered without leving a scar, but a good number of the ones his dragon got were in no such condition.

"Hello there." Ichigo said quietly, walking forward, towards L'kouree. Ikynath was close by, feeding on wherries while Ichigo prepared for bed, having to make sure the Weyrlings were obeying their master.
"Any way I can help?" She asked, noticing the expression on L'kouree's face. He seemed puzzled.

"oh!" he turned on his heels like a startled runner, looking at the weyrwoman in shock. He then relaxed and smiled. he didn't like being startled. he liked being suprised, but not startled. he sighed and ran a hand through his golden hair.
"I'm fine, Mi'lady...just thinking. the veiw here is better than the one at the astrology tower, I'd say." He said truthfully. He leaned against the railing again, this time facing the weyrwoman. he had his hands on the railing behind him. he liked to keep his posture open. it made talking easier.

"Yes, I must agree that it is a nice view." Ichigo said, still smiling rather brightly. Ikynath seemed pleased, as she began to speak to hers.
Ichigo, Fannith is ready to rise, is she not? Are you excited?
Of course, dearest. The Weyr is growing so quickly.
((I am just pretending that Fannith hasn't risen, since you are in the flight ^.^; It's hard to carry on an RP if the flight was over yet we don't know who won ))

"at the astrolgy tower, it's all concerned about observing. never about seeing."

Ichigo nodded "I must say, I love to just watch the stars turn at night. Their slow cycle is amazing. They are like the treasures of the night, don't you think? So useful and so beautiful."
You are blabbering, Ichigo. Watch yourself. Joked Ikynath, who was used to Ichigo's habit of speaking her thoughts.

"everything had a treasure...the sky has the stars, the sea has it shells...and I suppose people....we have the ones we hold most dear. the treasures we all have are the ones we choose to share." He said, not realizing he was speaking in rhyme. he had a funny habit of saying song lyrics, or things that would become song lyrics, as if they were prose.

"My treasure is no doubt Ikynath. If I lost her I'd kill myself." Ichigo admitted "Right after going insane."
I love you too, Ichigo, if that's what you ment.
((*listening to a funny radio thing*))

+oh, thank you....I will store this away all the other heartbreaking things you say.+

Ichigo couldn't help but giggle a bit at the comment, then caught her breath and sighed. "Yes. I am wondering this...But why are stars used for wishing and not shells?" She asked, looking up at the sky "Is it because everyone can stare at the same star? Or is there something else that makes them fill children with hope?" She paused, then blushed a bit. "Sorry, I have a habit of talking to myself."

"I was actually just wondering the same thing....I suppose it is because everyone can wish on the same star..." he laughed suddenly, throwing his head back.
"it's OK...I do that a lot..."

"Really? Whew, I thought I was alone."
I talk to you, Ichigo. I am talking to mine. Ikynath said, finished eatting and preparing to come up to Ichigo.

"I guess they do. We all talk to our lifemates..." Ichigo paused, mind scurrying back to the thought of the flight coming. "Oh dear... I hope Fannith doesn't go between in her flight..."

"....did you just mention a flight? out loud? within hearing distance of Kouryouth? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID? I WAS HOPING TO HIDE FOR A WHILE. FAR AWAY AND AVOID THE WHOLE BUISNESS!...Kouryouth will chase anything...I'm kind of sick of it, actually..." He said. his tone was paniced, not mad.
