The day's drills had been rather intense and she had immediately headed for the bathing pool to soak her aching muscles. Now that she was clean and feeling hungry, the greenrider headed into the dining cavern with a plan to end the day on a good note. She saw one of her bronzerider wingmates at a table that had several empty spaces, so she made her way through the crowd without dropping her meal.

"Good evening L'cian!" she said sweetly as she sat down beside him.

"Cialora!" L'cian was genuinely glad to see her and glad to have a little company - especially company as pretty as Cialora. "How'd you like those drills this morning?" He chuckled a little, knowing full well that the drills had been awful for everyone.

"I liked them so much that my muscles begged for me not to move from the bathing room, but my stomach won the arguement." she replied with a grin.

"Hmm... I missed you in the bathing room. What a shame." L'cian muttered more to himself than to Cialora; he wasn't normally such a flirt, but this little greenrider was an exception. "How's that firelizard of yours, I see her around the Bowl now and again."

"She's doing fine and seems to find me when I've got meatrolls." she said and as if on cue, the green appeared from /between/ and landed on her shoulder with a chirp.

L'cian smiled, quite charmed with the little creature.
"You know, I've always wanted one of these little beauties..." His speech trailed off a little. "May I?"
He held out a little scrap of meat experimentally.

"Go right ahead, just be warned that she'll find you expecting food at times." The greenrider said with a soft laugh as the flit hopped down and went towards the food not caring who was offering.

The bronzerider was postiviely charmed. The little beast was so delicate - such a lady - nothing like her larger kin. "So what are you up to these days?"
L'cain, despite being quite enchanted, was still capable of conversation.

"Drills, drills and more drills. I've been talking to my sister about possibly going to see our father.
She's never met him and I think he'd like to see her.
How've you kept busy other than drills?"

"The usuals: keeping the dragon happy, messing around with some friends, catching the occasional green." He winked at her jokingly.

"Played any dragonpoker lately?"

L'cian broke out laughing. "You play _one_ _game_ that ends with you skinny dipping in the weyrlake an suddenly everyone thinks you're a dragonpoker addict!"
He threw is arms up in the air in a playful sign of agitation. "And no. The next one isn't the middle of next month." He added.

"I heard about that incident. Will you remind me so that I can play?" she said with a soft laugh.

"Sure will." L'cian winked. "I'd _love_ to see _you_
play dragonpoker..." He gave her a sly look up and down.

"I'm rather good, not that you'd ever notice. You've been too busy ogling the greenriders and other women to pay attention to the game." she said teasingly.

"I'll have you know that I'm an ingenious dragonpoker player - when I'm not distracted by a member of the fairer sex; and I have noticed that you're good.
You're almost always completely clothed at the end of the night." He shook his head mournfully. "And that it _quite_ a shame."

"Perhaps we should play a one on one game sometime and see what happens?" she suggested with a soft laugh.

"Why, Tacialorah!" L'cian gasped innocently. "Surely you're not suggesting what I _think_ you're suggesting
- because if you're not then you've gotten my boysih hopes up for nothing."

"Why shouldn't I suggest that? It's all fun and games, isn't it?" she asked grinning at his reaction.

L'cian slid an arm around her waist. "Only if you want it to be..."

"Of course." she said liking the feel of his arm against her.

Taking his cue appropriately, L'cian raised his hand to her cheek gently tilted Tacialorah's lips up to meet his in a soft kiss - at least, a soft kiss for now...

She melted in his arms at the feel of his lips against hers. She broke the contact and glanced about them with a grin. "Perhaps we should continue this someplace a bit more private?" she asked her eyes sparkling with excitement at the idea.

"Lead the way, dearest." His tone was heavy wiht lust, anxious to finish what they had begun.
