Meeting of the Oranges (Xena)

[kia]

Nia yawned as she walked into the dining hall the morning after the feast. So many events were going on. Nikianeth had finally reverted back to normal now that she was no longer playing the part of the brooding mother. The Orange had woken up earlier this morning and had an itch so go down the Weyr Lake and clean herself. On returning, she woke up Nia and asked if the woman had eaten anything that morning. Nia had replied that she had not ate and was quickly berated for not eating as often as she sound. Nia sighed as she entered the dining hall, Nix and Flare sitting around her neck and chirping happily. Nix was still growing, but he seemed to be slowing down in his growth. He would probably end up being slightly smaller than Flare, which would be very helpful in discerning between the two. She had also been thinking about buying another Fire lizard egg, but she was not so sure at the moment. Maybe she ought to wait. She did, after all, have her father at another Weyr. She could always have Flare send him a note and ask him to send an egg if she wanted.

She got some klah and some meatrolls to curb her appetite. But she was not hungry. She was still feeling full from the night before at the feast. There had been so much food, so much fun, until it had been ruined by the Renegades. They had kidnapped the Weyrwoman`s son. Nia had been ready to jump up quickly and grab her riding gear to follow the Weyrwoman, but she had sent a few other Riders out to go find her son. Nia sighed, still very tired from the night before. Maybe the klah would wake her up. It usually did in the past, and it should now. Well, whatever today held, it may not be as interesting as last night, but she hoped it would be somewhat interesting.

Arsana stretched. She felt so out of place with her body this morning. She felt stiff and a bit sore in a few places. She was ready to have a day off to loosen up, she knew that wasn't an option with the Weyrwoman's son kidnapped. It made her so sharding angry that someone would stoop to such a shameful thing as burdening a mother with the thought of her child missing. And Arsana felt deep pain for Fajra. She thought of the Copper rider as her friend, and wanted so much to bring her child safely home!

In her mind, no mother should be put through this. On account of some cowardice Renegade. She didn't want to stand by and just wait for something to happen. She had to do something, regardless as to what Fajra or O'sho would say about it. As she thought about what to do, her stomach growled, loudly. She sighed and headed for the Dining Cavern. She walked in and grabbed a plate and pilled a few tubbers and meatrolls on it and grabbed up a tall cup of fruit juice. She looked around for a table and spotted the other Orangerider, Nia. She walked over. "Is a seat taken, Nia?"
