"What are we going to do today? It's a restday," Uetia asked when
she and Sabonus were eating breakfast. She was feeling bit
restless and actually wanted to do something besides just laze
around. Perhaps they could go somewhere.

"Sex?" Sabonus asked innocently, though his lips soon spread into
a grin. "All right, before that... hmmm. I don't know. What
are you in the mood for?"

Uetia snorted, that seemed to be all men were thinking of. "I
want to go somewhere, somewhere I haven't been yet," she said.

"Do you have somewhere in particular in mind?" he asked as he
buttered his bread.

"No, I haven't. Why don't you suggested some place?" Uetia
replied and asked.

"How about the thermal pools up on Venerable Mountain? I hear they're
quite popular this time of the Turn." And it was much easier to get up
there on a dragon than by the road.

"I've heard of them, but never been there. Should be interesting visit,"
her eyes sparked with euthiasm.

"We'll have to pack our swim suits. They don't allow people naked in
those bathing pools." It was one of the rare places where dragonriders
and holders mixed, and weyrfolk were expected to follow the rules or be
barred for life.

"They wouldn't like people making out in the pools then?" Uetia asked.
Okay, Sabonus wasn't only one who thought about sex all the time.

"Probably not." Sabonus' eyes flashed with a bit of mischief. "But
they probably won't know what's happening below the water line."

"No, they wouldn't. And perhaps they had some more private pools," her
eyes sparkled with mischief.

"I think they do, in the over-night guest cots. I hear they pump water
into them directly from the springs. But the price isn't cheap."
Still, getting away from the Weyr for a whole night... "If we could
keep your green out of sight, we might even be able to pass as husband
and wife and be... you know... 'normal'."

"Hm," there was some potential there. "Sirjath only needs some warm
place where she can perch and she'll...sleep," Uetia said. Her green was
a lazy one.

"I'd be fun, wouldn't it? It's like we can be totally different people
for a day!" There was something kind of thrilling about the thought.
Like a little fantasy they could play out and have fun with.

"It would be," the idea was growing on her.

"We could be back in the morning in time for drills." He was getting
really excited at the thought of getting away from the Weyr for a while,
and just being alone, _comepletely_ alone with Uetia.

"Yes, we could be," she grinned. "Shall we do it?"

"Let's!" He had a few spare marks, and it was about time they got away
just the two of them. Who knew how much longer before he either
Impressed or was shipped out?

"All right," Uetia nodded, thinking of how much marks she had left. Good
thing was that Tamah sometimes paid for her for small jobs, like diving
to check out ship's hull. There weren't that many people in the Weyr with a
proper diving equipment and experience. She was fortunate that she had
had the marks to buy her own diving gears.

"You'll have to look more... hold-like," he said, pointing to her
outfit. "And maybe I should dig out my old knots from home..."

"I have to dig my clothes chest. I'm sure I have still my skirts and
dresses," Uetia said.

"If not we can get something from the store room. I'm sure there are
Candidates who have left their clothes there once they came." Luckily
it wouldn't be too hard for him to blend in, since he still looked very
much the crafter.

"Of my size?" Uetia looked incredulous. Women usually didn't grow to her
size.

"Maybe a few of the male greenrider Candidates?" he suggested helpfully
with a wicket grin.

"Oh, yes, some of them cross-dresses," she said.

He threw his head back and laughed. "They at least would have something
you could borrow." Though he hoped it wouldn't come to that.

Uetia laughed too. It would really ironic if she would end up borrowing
woman's clothes from a man!

"Well, come on! Let's hurry up and eat so we can pack!" Now that it
was settled, he was feeling anxious to get their little adventure going.
