Flitter Faces [Galaxy]

Nix chased after Bai, a stream of curses trailing behind him. The little white had gotten some sort of flyby up his tail and had gone darting off, winging his way down the corridor of the lower caverns. Kyozuth thought the whole thing was terribly amusing, but that wasn't really unusual. The brown's sense of humor had a cruel barb in it.

The cause of Bai's distraction was another flit, a round-bodied bronze with fascinating reddish markings on his wings. A handsome boy, but usually not something to be overly interesting to Bai. Unless, of course, he had something that was of interest to the white? Something Bai thought was a toy, perhaps, or some treat?

The little white perched near where they found the bronze, chirping and trilling at him excitedly. What was this mischief?

Kiaya had slowly grown to enjoy exploring the Weyr. She lurked in corners and wandered down forgotten dusty corridors, accompanied by her little fire lizard , Pebbles. The bronze followed her more in the pursuit of forgotten trinkets to claim as his than protecting the young girl.

In their 2 turns there Pebbles had accumulated quite the collection of items. Lazily, the firelizard over looked his domain like a holder. Sole owner of his little realm of shiny rocks, mismatched earrings , meal scraps among snippets of fabric and lose threads. Though at that particular moment Pebbles seemed completely entranced by a small torn rag doll. He held it in his fore paws , sniffing the old doll intently. It seemed to be fashioned into the shape of a dragon of sorts or so , the colour had long weathered out of the fabric leaving it a strange tinge of copper.

Kiaya peaked over a wall, turning an eyebrow up at her lizard’s new discovery . “Watcha’ got there Pebbles?” She looked at him , the fire lizard chirping excitedly at his new trinket. The little bronze’s attention was called by a white , the most white fire lizard Kiaya had ever seen . “Lookit Pebbles, you got a friend there?” Kiaya wondered , as she left the bronze clutching his treasure tightly while she wandered over to the perched fire lizard.

Bai bounced on their perch, seemingly pleased by their discovery of both the bronze firelizard and his small human companion. There was more excited chattering, then the white launched themself at the little girl, attempting to land on her head with the intention of grooming her.

"Bai!" Nix sounded half-scandalized by his flit, not that he should be at this point. Bai periodically decided they liked someone - or something - and take to grooming their new 'friend'. "Bai, her hair looks just fine, she doesn't need you to fix it!"

Shaking his head, Nix half-glared at the little white, obviously exasperated - but he also wasn't about to go lunging at a small girl he didn't know, even to 'rescue' her from his affectionate white. "Sorry about them," he said instead, giving her the same sort of relaxed smile he'd give his own daughter. "Bai seems to like you, so they want to - to make sure you look your best, I suppose."

At least Bai hadn't tried to take the old dragon stuffie that the bronze had found; that might have caused a little firelizard rumble.

Crouching down more at the girl's level, Nix kept a gentle, friendly expression on his face. "I'm Nix. I have a daughter around your age, Killax. You might have seen her around the creche?"

When Kiaya moved to the Weyr, she'd been warned of whers , their aggressive tendencies and dragons with their awful history of maulings. No one could've prepared her for the overly friendly nature of this white flit. "Oi! My hair ain' your nest , critter!" she huffed, not particulary excited by the flit taking to her head, but once he started grooming her hair she caved in "You can stay there for a little bit... Don't pull my hair!!"

Kiaya's head turned at the sound of the flit being told off by a man. A brown rider? "I like flits, I git one too. Yours can stay there if they want." She mumbled , trying and failing to stare down the stranger. "That's my flit, Pebbles. I'll show you him." She pointed at the bronze, still busy with his new found trinket. Kiaya walked over to him, picked him up and held the bronze up at Nix. Pebbles sqwarked at Nix, still holding his ragdoll in his little claws.

Unsure of Nix, Kiaya took a step back when he crouched down to her level. "I dunno, maybe, do we know a Killax , Pebbles?" She look down at the flit in her hands, the bronze looked up at her and chirpped. "Think we do know her, I'm ...Kiaya" For a moment she hesitated giving her name away to Nix, however, if she played her cards right she could convince him to show her his brown dragon.

The girl was precious. Of course, Nix regularly took to little creatures, be they human or dragonkin or animal, without much forethought. Anyone and anything he could take care of, really. Which was probably why things with Killade hadn't worked out; she neither needed nor wanted to be taken care of.

He smiled as she submitted to Bai's efforts to groom her. The little white was ultimately harmless, and Kiaya's straight hair was much less likely to tangle than Nix's curls. And if she did get snarls, well, Bai was the reason that Nix carried a comb everywhere.

"It is nice to meet you, Pebbles," Nix told the bronze solemnly when the little girl presented her flit. He was certainly a handsome lad! "He's a very nice-looking bronze, and it looks like you take care of him well, Kiaya. Are you thinking about trying to Impress a dragon or wher when you're big enough?"

He was glad to hear that Kiaya knew Killax; he liked knowing that his daughter had friends.
