Inner Caverns

Ancient caverns unfold in an endless maze of tunnels and stairs, the Weyr's cavities a labyrinth to the uninitiated. Here, trimmed by the last of the stone cutters, arched walls and vaulted ceilings retain the soapy smoothness of well-worn stone, as do the endless tunnel floors kept clear and tidy. Shadows creep and flicker across these glowlit mountain walls, creatures of non-light wending their way east to the main caverns and bowl, or branching out in a web of caves to the Weyr's living spaces.

You see Sabo here.

Derwin is here.

Derwin backs up in fear. He remembers /this/ brat.

Siannen giggles and waves, "Hihi!"

Derwin stares at his boots as if extremely interested in his current footwear. "Hrmm...hi."

Auri hopskips in from the Brat Cave.

Auri releases Pix, who launches into the air.

Auri releases Tirone, who launches into the air.

Siannen beams, completely ignoring his unease. "Can I lick you again? AURIIIIII!!!"

You release Yolk, who launches into the air.

Auri waves both hands happily, beaming. "Hi Wynn! Hi Siannen!" She runs up, torn between hugging Wynn or Siannen. Siannen. She's a lot more...friendly.

Tirone continues on into the large living caverns.

Siannen hugs Auri back, turning her attention back to Derwin.

Tirone blinks in from ::between::!

Derwin retreats, heading towards the doorway. "Mm...No...no lick. Please."

Yolk chirp at Ti, Hello today...

Tirone chirps right back. Hi.

Siannen nods, following Derwin closely. "Whacha doing?"

Derwin walks backwards until he hits solid rock. Shards. A wall. "Walking....away."

Siannen peers at Wynn intently, cocking her head at him. "Why're you doing that?"

Pix waddles up to Derwin, sniffing his boot. He sneezes. Whoa. Dusty.

Derwin feels about behind him blindly, searching for the doorway. He mutters under his breath, barely audible,"To get away from you..."

Auri mutters " Just lick him already! Before he gets away!" to you.

You overhear Auri mutter, "... ... ... ... Before he ... ..." to Siannen.

Siannen mmmm-hmms, bouncing towards him. Suddenly her expression brightens, and she grins at Derwin. *pounce* *giggle* *SLLLUUUURRRP*! And she beams at Derwin from her new perch, clinging to his front.

Derwin looks down. He seems to have a Brat on his shirt. Oh. How...interesting. Where is that blasted doorway...

Derwin continues on into the large living caverns.

Night or day, Klah can always be found warming on the High Reaches Hearth...

Living Caverns

The rough-hewn majesty of this cavern far outpaces any delight in the multitudes of curves that form its enclosure. The glabrous grey granite is shot through with translucent obsidian, lending subtly-veined sparkle to the walls and the foot-trodden smoothness of the floor that shows centuries-old placements of the scarred trestle tables; carven hollows give homes for the glow baskets and the coat-pegs that line the walls. No mosaics, no painting, no tiles: just a few well-done tapestries mark the pathway that lead to the kitchen to the north and the inner caverns to the west, and frame the nighthearth's stew and snacks, while a heavier strip of oiled canvas shields the unwary from the wind in the bowl.

Tucked into a glowlit niche are Ghost, Kelpie, Maeve, Spire, Relee, Nocturno, and Kynance.

You see Kali here.

Derwin is here.

Obvious exits:

Auri arrives from deeper in the Weyr.

Pix arrives from deeper in the Weyr.

Siannen scrambles for a better hold, and succedes in getting her legs around his waist. "Whacha doing now?"

Derwin curses under his breath, dark eyes smoldering. "Carrying you around, it seems." He sighs. It's no use. He takes a seat in his usual corner, Siannen still attached.

Siannen *thinks you should get used to it. Once she picks ya, yer hers for life.

Derwin *sighs. Not removable even with laser surgery?

Siannen *nuh-uh.

Auri pouts. Sian's taking her spot. Her favorite /squishy/ spot. Well then she'll take Sian's spot. She clambers up Wynn's back, taking a comfy seat on his broad shoulders.

Siannen giggles, and will return Auri's spot if her Ris shows up. "Whacha doing /now/, Wynn?"

Derwin opens his ever-present book, sighing deeply. "Trying to read with you in the way. Do you /mind/?"

Siannen shakes her head, squirming around so that she can look at his book. "I don't mind. Whacha readin'?"

Derwin rubs his eyes as if mortally tired. "A book."

Siannen uh-huhs, "Wha's it about?" She's the consumate 'Brat right now. Annoying? You becha. Does she /know/ how annoying? Nope.

Auri squirms about atop Derwin, tousling his hair to bend over and peer into the book's pages. "Oh. That book. That's an icky book Sian. It's all old and dirty and dusty."

Auri crawls off Derwin clumsily. "I'll be right back Wynnie, Sian. I wanna see somethin'. C'mon Pix!"

Auri steps into the shadows that lead back into the Weyr.

Siannen *has to go, sorry

You click your heels three times.

Brat Cave

Extremely large room is aglow with brilliant glowbaskets lighting up the room, positioned above grasping fingers carefully in corners as to provide the best possible illumination. Cavernous walls shine, dabb'd hither and thither with bright shades of fingerpaint, as are the pots lying scattered all over sturdy kid-size tables huddled in bunches in corners.Rugs scatter the floor to protect small feet also, perhaps a bit smudged here and there from little accidents, embroidered by Nanny Mirisae in her spare time, almost seeming to cover a dip in the floor and topped with plush chairs all confortably positioned in a loose ring about a comfortably warm fireplace flickering cheerfully for storytelling.

Sweet and yummy, scents of cookies and candy waft about the room.

Poking through the paint pots is HRWB.

You see a fireplace, Toy Box, Tickle-Me-Nuff, Aurae, 'Just Say No' Sign, Firelizard Ledges, and Mud Colors here.

You notice Mirisae, Kyavan, Kalla, Tyara, Saendi, and Pyrene asleep here.
