D'rak and Pontoth

You walk into this weyr.It's kinda plain,a bed,a table,and a piece of hide make up much of this room.There's also a curtain leading to another room,and you hear mild sounds of argument from in there.You decide to go in.A girl and a young man,both probably 16,are in an argument."But,Rika,"the young man starts."D'rak,you've got it all,son of a Lord Holder,brownrider,and a queen firelizard,you have no sympathy for anyone other than yourself!"the girl says,pushing to the curtain and almost shoving you out of the way."Is that true?"you ask the young man,obviously D'rak."Well,I was the fosterling of a SeaHolder,and yes,I'm a brown rider and I have a queen firelizard,but she's so imperious,I don't know why I bother!Rika's just in a bad mood.She's my cousin.Last sevenday,she stood at a hatching and didn't Impress for the sixth time,so that's probably why she's so mad,"he says.You take a second to get a good look at him.He's tall,with very blond hair and green eyes.He straightens up a glowbasket,which seems to have been knocked over by Rika on her way out."Do you really 'have it all?'"you ask."No,but I let her and everyone else believe it so they don't bug me about how I got Trixie,"he tells you."In case you couldn't tell,I'm D'rak.This is my weyr.My brown,Pontoth,was Impressed at Jerdan Weyr,"he says.He holds his arm out and a gold firelizard pops in from /between/ and lands on it."Meet Trixie.I named her that because she plays tricks a lot.I was younger then and didn't know how to spell tricks,I thought it was spelled trix,so,she became Trixie!But hey,it looks better than Tricksie,doesn't it?"he says.You nod."I'm originally from Kadet SeaHold,but I was fostered to Bakarat when I was 9.I found a clutch that got me Trixie.When I got my egg,no one had any idea mine was a queen egg.I got suspicious looks for a long time afterward,"he explans,throwing his head back and laughing."Trixie's from the Greyhaven Nexus,"he informs you."Can you sail well?"you ask.D'rak gives you a startled look."Well,a little.I'm no match for Keiliana.That just wasn't my thing.But I was good at gutting fish,I beat her at that.In case you're wondering,we had a contest.I didn't want to,but they roped me into it,"he says."Who's they?"you ask."They are they,"he says,grinning mischeviously.Trixie squawks in alarm and you look up,startled."Oh,don't mind her,she's always playing tricks like that,"D'rak says."Pontoth tells me to remind you that he will be participating in an upcoming flight.It's his first flight!He really,really wants to catch Aldath.I want him to also,not just for him though.Aldath's rider Ayla is really nice and she's pretty too.Even though she's a little younger than me,I still like her.But I've never even spoken to her,"D'rak says,deep in thought."Oh,good,Pontoth tells me it's almost time for the evening meal,well,you'd better go,visitor,cause after that we're going to visit Aldath and Ayla,"he tells you."Okay,bye,"you say,leaving the weyr.
