Eirlira was playing hooky and she was enjoying it. After all, who
wanted to stay stifled in a hot kitchen doing chores when it was such
a pretty day? Instead, she lay comfortably hidden from most views on
the beach of the Weyr's lake. Finally able to strip down to her skimpy
bathing attire, she soaked up the sun with relish. Let the rest toil
and labor. She was working on her tan.

Leaving Tyerth to play with some young greens, L'ris took a walk along
the beach. His brown hadn't quite figured out the fundamental
difference between boys and girls yet, but he was getting there. He
was negotiating with himself wether or not to go swimming when he
spotted the girl. "Hi there. Don't burn yourself," he said, giving
her an appreciative look over. Unlike his dragon, _he_ knew why there
was boy and girl -people.

At the voice Eirlira opened her eyes and peered up at the rider. Her
eyes flicked to his knots and then back to his face before she gave a
languid stretch and let her lips lift in a sultry smile. "I wasn't
planning on it."

"Good, 'cause sun burn isn't fun. You can ask Weyrwoman," L'ris
replied with a grin.

"I'm not going to fall asleep in it." She pulled up her arms to tuck
her hands behind her head. The movement caused her skimpy bathing suit
to shift enticingly. "What's your name?"

"L'ris, rider of brown Tyerth," L'ris answered. He was too much a
Weyrbred _and_ brownrider not to appreciate the show she was offering.

"Well, L'ris of brown Tyerth, I'm Eirlira. Why don't you sit with me
for a while and keep me company?"

"I'll love to," L'ris replied with flash of a smile and sit down next to her.

Smiling with triumphant satisfaction, Eirlira rolled to face him, her
hair tumbling over her shoulders. "So tell me, L'ris. What can a girl
do for enjoyment around here?"

"Oh, there's plenty of things, depending what you consider enjoyment,"
L'ris replied, wondering how straightforward he could be with her. She
did seem the kind of person who wasn't going to get scared away.
"There's always swimming and sunbathing..on restdays you can go to
Gather. Romp in the bedfurs is always fun too."

Fingers trailed along his arm and her eyes warmed. "Well, I've already
had my swim... and I've been sunbathing." Her eyes glinted. "And
there's no Gather. So...looks like I only have one option left."

L'ris' grin widened and he leaned closer. "Aye, that's always an
option around here," he said

She leaned forward, her lips a bare breath from his ear. "Perhaps you
could help me with that option..."

"Gladly," L'ris replied and turned his head so their lips met in a kiss.

Feeling smug, Eirlira met his kiss eagerly and wrapped her arms around
his neck to press close. Another one under her spell and it was so
easily done... The men at this Weyr were far too easy.
