Yum, the smell of grass in the morning, dew still making it wetand juicy. The sound of braying and grunting could be heardfrom down the river as a small herd of Mehdayri made their wayto a clearing. Some of the offspring were going to be going todifferent herds, the elder Almond getting tired of them sucklingon her over the last ten months... even as long as a year. Eighthungry mouths to feed, each taking their turns to suckle uponher nutritious teat of goodness. Well, it was getting to be abother and some of the brats had to go! She was wise andintelligent enough that the strange two legged creatures wouldcome and try to win over some of the brats. Good! Sure, shewas with calf herself, but that would give her at least a littletime without some little greedy bastard below her whenever shewas trying to walk.

As the herd stomped into the clearing, she brayed a little to getthem to stop, the calves already running off like maniacs. Eightannoying calves. Some of the males were already butting heads,trying to win superiority while some of the females were entirely

too giddy for the Almond and she curled her legs under her.There, that was it! No more milk for them! They had to go! Evenwhen they came over and whined at her, she shooed them away,snorting unhappily as she rested her udder for the time being,feeling her own calf moving about like it wanted to come outand play. She watched the three Lagers hoping around, one ofthem chasing his little tail before running after another. One ofthem stayed close to his brother, resting his head on his neck asif letting him know that he wasn't going anywhere, or perhapsto perk him up. The third seemed to be braying for someone...something, even with his brother's head against him.

Two bull Lords bumped heads, one Chocolate and one Lemon.The Chocolate held his head high, trying to bite at the Lemonthat didn't seem to want to have anything to do with him butfight back. They weren't even the worse of the brats. Thefemales were nearly as bad! One of the Tuttis ran by, stealingan apple from the female Punch, who got up to give chase. Theother Tutti was braying in the Lemon's direction, pretending toneed help getting up. What a drama queen! The Almond gave ahuff, hoping that the two leg creatures would show up so shecould have a little peace and quiet fo r a change.

---Welcome to a Mehdayri Bonding! This is a small one with onlyeight calves so hopefully it won't take a year to get done! Thisis double elimination, meaning that if you miss two rounds, no

juice camel for you this time.

Here are just some notes:

1. This is my first Bonding. Be patient.

2. You don't need to post an epic long post to write somethingthat is good. Please, keep them of reasonable length. My eyescan only take so much text at a time.

3. There is fruit and other greenery around, be creative and

don't make the Almond mad or you will get trampled. She's nota nice old lady.

4. Have fun! Some might run away, but chase them and make agame!

Valerie was out for a walk that morning, clad in a stately greyand purple dress. A little too somber for the time o f day, sheknew, but she had not had nearly enough time to outfit herselfwith a proper lady's wardrobe yet, so it would have to do. Shewas carrying a white parasol and wearing white elbow lengthgloves with little black buttons up the sides. The gloves wereparticularly difficult for her to come by. Apparently people inthis place didn't find much use for white gloves, but shecouldn't possibly imagine why not.

Walking alone was not a pastime she usually engaged in, butsince she had come here, she'd found that her customs had tochange a wee bit. She'd taken a small knife with her as a

precaution, but as she had no idea how to use it, she'd mostlyjust have to hope that no male would take her being alone as asign that she was a lady of poor breeding and decide to make apoint of it and embarrass her.

What was all that ruckus, though? Valerie decided that sincethey were animal sounds, she could safely go and investigate.She made her way to the clearing downriver, holding her skirtscarefully with one hand even there was nobody around to seeher calves should she expose too much past her ankles. It neverhurt to be careful when it came to such things. These animalswere unfamiliar to her, but they seemed friendly enough.

This might be a good place to eat her lunch, Valerie thought,

and perched herself on a large rock a ways off so that she couldobserve the native fauna without disturbing them. Valerieopened her outing bag and took out a watercress sandwich and

26 Apr 2010, 7:08am

In what seemed to be another accident waiting to happen, Thornstood under a fruit tree, staring up at a very tempting pear.Leaping up, she could barely touch it with the tips of herfingers. Frustrated, she emitted a low growl, trying again, but

this time falling back onto her butt. It was obvious. She wasdrunk...again. Though she had failed to reach this ratherbeautiful pear, many others actually were within her reach. Thehalf-demon's stubbornness prevailed, however, as she stoodback up very slowly, glaring while she leapt, fingertips stillbarely catching the smooth skin of the fruit before the femalecrashed to the ground once more, with a thud. This was not herday. It could have been, if she had used common sense, o rpossibly noticed the troop of odd creatures just off to the sideof her, but this was Thorn, in all her intoxicated glory.

She sat on the ground, her tail flicking back and forth. Surely,she would have been able to reach the thing if she hadn't beendrunk, but who thinks of those things beforehand? With a pout,

the girl rose again, needing to let herself lean on the tree'strunk for stability. Her silver eyes stared at everything aroundher with a blaze of nonsensical hatred...at least until shenoticed the mehdayri... With almost a gasp, her anger faded,being replaced by a fearful amazement. What were thosethings? And why did they look so dangerously colorful?

Without notice, the large fruit acted as if it took pity on Thorn,knocking her on the head as the tree gave it up. The half demonstill watched the odd beasts, leaning to pick up the pear as shebegan to move. She would indeed, wander closer, not worried atall about her safety. She carried the pear as if it were a toy,tossing it up slightly and catching it as she went. Thoughts

about her own safety would come later. She had to know aboutthese freaky horses.

A chirp came from the skies above, followed soon after by a tinyshadow cast on the ground. Its owner stopped its incessant

flight to look down at the Mehdayri. Find some water. Herbonded's request had been straightforward enough; they hadbeen searching for something to drink for hours now, but any

sign of a lake, pond or bottled thirsty quencher was no where insight.

The Mehdari.

The Anta was struck by an idea. It would solve the problem and,while it wasn't exactly what Tatsuko asked, her owner just had

to see the brilliance of his plan: flavored water! With a tweet,he circled the calves once before finding perch on a bush. Heglanced to his right and called out, tugging gently at hisbonded's mind - a gentle poke and nudge. He was answered bya soothing emotion and so sat back to wait.

Several minutes went by before a girl walked in between a pairof berry bushes. She rarely bothered going around things, thatgirl; for her, a straight line was the shortest path between topoints. Right now she collapsing with thirst and she'd bedammed if some mere bushes got in the way. As she gave theplace a searching look, Kyoto left the bushes to come on perchon her shoulder. "Where is it little one?" The faedragonseemed to stretch and stared at the calves.

Oh, great. She knew should have spent more time training thelittle nincompoop.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to control her frustration, lestshe sent her companion flying of in dejected misery. "Kyoto,these... creatures aren't water." Looking away, she sighedand rubbed her temple before peering back at the creatures.Come to think of it, what *were* they?

Kyoto nudged at her, seeking a scratch behind the head. Hehad, in a way, found what she wanted.

Her eyes snapped open. She lay for a moment in completesilence, trying to figure out where she was and how she gothere. No, not complete silence...where was that braying coming

from? The soft babbling of water...

That's right...the river. I fell asleep drawing the river, Theothought to herself, then sat up in panic. My journal! She lookedaround, sighing in relief when she realized the book was next toher and only slightly damp from the morning's dew. Tucking itsafely back into one of her numerous oversized pockets, shesilently gave thanks that she had found enough money to buyherself some new clothes, unattractive as they were.

After adjusting the enormous goggles nestled in her hair, Theostood and headed towards the braying she had heard earlier,daring to hope that it was one of the creatures she had seenearlier. Maybe I can convince it to bond with me...however

that's done. She hadn't really bothered with specifics - all sheknew was that she wanted something to keep her company forher adventures in this strange new world.

As she stepped into a clearing, Theo gasped. Before her stoodnot one, but a whole group of creatures. Oh, how lucky! They'rebeautiful! They're amazing! They're...camels. She frowned,somewhat let down. She had been hoping for some fantastic,never-before-seen species unique to this planet.

Then again...those definitely weren't the colors of camels. Andthose ears didn't exactly look right, either...I guess they AREkind of cute, she mused. Perhaps one would be a goodcompanion, after all.

Akemi fluttered ahead of Zeph as he walked, body shimmeringas she weaved in and ou t of the tree branches. Still, theFaedragon wasn't hard to loose track of, with her brightlycoloured body. Locating a sweet apple, she perched on the highbranch and began to eat it while her bonded watched from theground.

Zeph had finally caved into Akemi's demands to go look forfruit, and the pair had found themselves wandering in the lakesregion, basket of fruit in hand. High above, The Faedragonpaused in her snack as a sound caught her attention. Scanningthe area, she spotted flashes of colour amid the trees and flewoff to have a look.

Settling on a limb, the Faedragon let out a huff at the sight ofthe Mehdari. If Zeph saw them, he might want one. FeelingAkemi's distaste in his mind, the Soul Collector wandered over,staring curiously at the camels. Was there a bonding takingplace?

(( sorry for shortness, it'll get better I promise ))

Jessabella approached cautiously, she was determined to getthings right this time, her eyes looking over the Mehdayrihopefully. She wasn't sure if she would be lucky o r not toimpress one enough to get a bonding, but she was at leasttrying which was better then not trying at all .... right?.

A low sigh left her as she steeled her nerves, her fingers curlingaround the bunch of greenery that she had gathered beforeeven approaching the Mehdayri. The greenery was the onlything she dared to gather, she didn't know enough about the

local berries to judge on if they where poisonous or not. At leastshe was becoming familiar with the leaves of the local flora,enough to be certain that they where not poisonous and would

be an adequate snack for her potential new friend.

Yes she considered anything she impressed to be a friend, theywhere not 'pets' or 'bonded' to her ... just friends. Her fingersgripped nervously around the stems of the greenery in herhands and she gave a nod to the others already gathered,muttering a nervous good luck that she was sure that no one

would hear.

On that particular morning it was the sun that roused thesleeping faerie. She stirred slightly, rolling over underneath thetree she fell asleep... in? The girl sat up, rubbing at her eyesbefore she turned her gaze to the sky.

Yes, you fell out of the tree last night, just like all of the nightsbefore. I told you that you shouldn't try to sleep in the tree likea forest faerie. You-,

"Belong to the shadows, yes, I know," she grumbled, cutting offthe rant in her mind. "Now if you would please, oh lovelyconcious, leave me alone. It's too early in the morning."

I can't leave you alone, I'm in your head.

The young woman huffed slightly before stretching, not deigningit important to continue the strand of conversation with herself.After all, she knew when she lost a fight... though losing abattle against herself was a bit more extreme than usual. It wasat that point the sound of braying reached her ears and sheperked up slightly, her wings fluttering as they helped her toher feet. "I wonder what that is..."

She picked her way through the woods at that point, wigglingbetween two berry bushes and frowning when a few berriesdecided to break on her clothes. "Well damn... guess I needed

new ones anyway... and to find a real home." Her thoughts weredistracted for a few moments until she heard the animal soundsonce more and she remembered what she was doing. It was aquick decision to snag some berries for breakfast as shecontinued to walk, then paused when she realized that therewere critters in front of her.

"Those sort of look like... must just be a similarity," shemurmured, shaking her head slightly before she noticed morefruit around. The faerie looked at the creatures, and then backto the fruit. Were they fruit eaters? Possibly... The thought ofTamirith and the... Vargul? Was that it? Yes, it was a Vargul.Either way, she remembered him saying how they had a "bond",whatever it was that meant. Perhaps these critters that looked

much like a Halbrea, which was much like the Terran Camel,from home could make bonds as well.


7/15

With that thought in mind, the faerie scaled one of the fruittrees around her and started to pick some of the fruit,recognizing them with names she had heard recently, such asapple and plum. It was apples she was picking now, thoughthere were some types of fruits she didn't recognize at all.

The girl was currently leaning up against the trunk of a tree,looking out across a wide clearing. She watched as a herd ofmehdayri came thundering into the clearing, her entire bodygoing stil l and quiet. Her eyes widened as she watched them,l ips qui rk ing upwards in del ight . As camel-l ike as thesecreatures were, she couldn't help but wonder if they were more

intelligent than she had initially given them credit for. Yanoro'sWidad sure seemed to have quite a distinctive personality! Shetook note of the Mama-Mehdayri, whose bel ly seemed to beswollen, chuckling quietly to herself at the Almond's apparentexasperation with her young.

Another observant mind took note of the Queen -- one that justwouldn't have those negative vibes coming off of the creature!Asha gave a l i tt le chirp, impressing on her Bonded that shewould be right back, and fluttered quietly over towards theAlmond. She kept out of reach of the beast, and took care notto draw too much attention to herself. She was fully aware thefluttery-things often caused more annoyance than calm, after

all. She alighted on the branch of a tree that stood at the edgeof the clearing not far from where the Queen lay. The Atara thenproceeded to send subtle waves of soothing emotion at theAlmond - they were meant to ease her mind, and to perhapshelp the overworked mother relax. At the same time, the Atarasent a little nudge in Seelie's direction -- go! Socialize! Impressone of these cute little beasts!

The girl watched her faedragon for a moment, her eyes fi l ledwith pride and love. Asha was growing to be so beautiful, withher winter-sunset hide, and the softly g lowing aura thatsurrounded her. What a Queen she made! Another nudge fromthe Atara sent Seelie to her feet, mumbl ing a soft Alright,already under her breath. Toss ing a rather juicy-looking

tangerine-like fruit she'd found in the forest in the air over andover, she moved casually but cautiously towards the little Tuttion the ground, who seemed to be braying in distress. ThoughSeel ie wasn't any expert, she thought that the emotion wasfeigned -- the Tutti's eyes weren't quite as wide as they wouldbe i f the animal were truly fee ling pain or fear. Sti ll , shethought she might humor the little beast. Children were gluttonsfor attention - this held true for al l animals, human or not.

"There, there. What a pretty gir l she is," the chi ldmurmured, softly, halting a couple of yards away, and crouchingdown so that she was on the Tutti 's level. She put al l of heradmiration for the Tutti's beauty into her voice, and kept it soft,so as not to s tart le the baby.

"Wi ll she get up for atangerine? They're very juicy." She caught the fruit one lasttime and held it out to the Tutti, brows lifted as though to sayWell? Do you want it or not? She noted the other humanoids

27 Apr 2010, 2:09am

Yanoro adored his morning ride. That was a simple truth to hisexistence. Today, as he did on other days, he had climbed upinto his disciplined punch's leather saddle with the blue tassels

and headed into the forest. There, the path that followed theriver probably was the quickest route to the specific dock fromwhere he could pick up any shipments, and also it was probablythe prettiest. Yanoro and his mount loped down the dirt path,his bond determined to test her speed and stamina, the bondedmore focused on enjoying wind rushing through his hair and thespike in his adrenalin. All of a sudden, however, the beast beganto slow, without any indication from her mount. The witch gazeddown at his Mehdayri, raising an eyebrow in question as Widaddrew to a stop. This was strange. Usually she would bray orsomething, to indicate her intentions to him or ask forpermission. Not today. This wasn't completely surprising as thepetite creature was a bit willful and sometimes did things of herown volition just to do be rebellious and contrary. He watched

her sniff the air though, for a moment and it became very clearthat the Punch had some sort of reasoning for her behavior.

Without warning, she slowly turned off the path, sniffing the air,surprisingly daintily and ambled into the unknown. Widad, arrhyou sure dis iss a good idea? He inquired, knowing thatshe would not be able to describe in great detail her plan. She

just followed her nose to where ever it wanted to go whichended up being a small clearing with a very exhausted andannoyed looking Almond Mare and all of her children. Yanoroyelped upon seeing them. He absolutely ADORED mehdayri asthey were to him a living beacon of nostalgia. The witch couldnot even begin to list how many happy memories, or even

mundane memories of home were some how involved withMehdayri. They might have been set pieces in a memory or theymight have been in the fore ground, but usually, in his homecountry, they were there somewhere.

Widad stood at attention for a moment, surveying the scene.She from far off brayed some greeting to the Almond, andgestured to her bond by craning her neck towards him. Widadthen, as if an order, agitatedly blew some hot air out of hernose, as if to command him to get off. Yanoro nodded, clickinghis tongue, in which she obliged him in the dismount bylowering herself closer to the ground. As soon as he was safelyon his own two feet, the petite little general, made a b-line forthe tutti that had just stolen an apple from her punch sister.

Widad put herself in the critters path and glared daggers at thelittle one. Punches had to look after their own, she thought andshe would act as a barrier so that she could end such bullying.

Yanoro spotted Seelie trying to offer a peach to another cryingTutti. He enjoyed the child's company, and thus felt thatperhaps he would join her and try to aid her in dealing withthese very unique creatures. I knew hyou didn dink muchoff dem before bud chow about now. He mumbled down toher, standing over the desert child. The man pouted at the

manipulative yet adorable little tutti, calling out to himself. Arrhyou alrighd? Do I chave do come over dere an pick hyouup? He called, a chuckle rolling over the warm chocolate of hisvoice.

Katz was crouching on the shore of a river, trying to catch a fishfor breakfast. While she still hadn't seen very much of thisplace, at least the outlook would be better after quenching herhunger. She was completely still, and when a suitable fish swamby she quickly snatched it from the water and banged its headon a rock. Gutting it with her claw, Katz quickly devoured thefish and shuddered inwardly, but raw fish was still better thanno fish at all.

After she had cleaned herself up and started to move along,Katzbalger's ears twitched, for they had picked up some animalsounds. Following these, she soon arrived at a clearing where agroup of big animals foreign to her was resting. Herd animals,

apparently with young.Also, there were other humanoids already gathered aroundthem, so possibly this was some sort of event. While she stoodthere, a female offered fruit to one of the young animals.Apparently herbivores. Is this an event for observation purpose?She did not know the answer, but this species was one she hadnever seen before, and seemingly harmless. She just had to findout more about them!

Deciding that it was best to gather some bait, Katz scanned thearea near to her. There were a couple of trees bearing fruit, butshe couldn't hope to reach those. Looking around a bit more,she spotted a patch of thorny vines full of juicy looking, red-ishblack berries, and quickly went to pluck as many as she couldhold. Then she turned around and searched for the beast thatwas closest to her, eager to mimic what she had seen before.Not too far away, two of the young, possibly males, werenipping at each other. Carefully presenting the plucked berrieson her outstretched palms, Katzbalger walked towards thesetwo, wondering if one of them would be baited.

most kids did on lovely summer days such as this one; she wasswimming. In the middle of the giant lake the wingless girl wasfloating on her back staring up at the sky while just on shore insome long grass a rather large Chocolate bull rested his legswhile keeping an eye on the girl who was paddling aroundhappily. Put in charge of keeping watch of both his bond and atiny Hin nestled between his legs shivering, he was content with

his duties and knew what was expected of him. Wearing theever grim look on his muzzle he watched the floating mass ofangel flesh out in the water intently.

As stated between the folded forelegs of the large Chocolatemale was the tiny Hin, Fantine. Her faint yellow body shiverednear violently as she hid between the knobby knees of her at-the-moment protector. Her whirring eyes were focused on thegirl in the water who was splayed out and splashed a bit as sheheaded back inland, sending sprays of water their way. Chirpingin terrified agony as a fleck of water landed on her wing the Hinbacked further into Severus chest, using him as a water shieldwhich didnt really help her all that much.

A look was given to Evangeline as she approached and sat downin the grass, just as the drums began to sound signaling abonding. Looking up at the sky Evan smiled happily,Oh! Hearthat! Mehdayri! she exclaimed as she tackle hugged the largedark brown males neck with a loving kiss given to the side ofhis muzzle. He sat through it with a stony expression, thoughhis aura lightened happily as she snuggled him and told himhow wonderful he was. If he could speak he would have beenreminding her that it was just his job, nothing too great aboutit .

Standin Evan reached down gently to lift Fantine up and thoughthe female jolted away form her hand initially she climbed up

onto Evans hand eventually. Snuggling into the chest of herbond Evan lead the way toward the gathering getting there intime to almost be run over by a Tutti and Punch chasing oneanother. A swift nudge on Severus part was enough to get herout of the way initially though, of course, Evan at once gavechase as well much to the shuddering dismay of the darling Hincradled in her arms.

Jumping in immediately Evan chased after the Tutti and Punchwho went running away though Evan had something theydidnt ... ANOTHER FREAKING APPLE! Yes, thats right. Wavingaround an apple in her hands she began calling to them, Hey!Hey! Hey guys look! She called as she stopped a ways behindthem and began waving the giant sized Macintosh apple above

her head, Want an apple? Come here! Cmon! I haveanother one in my bag too! She called enticingly as shestood in the bold sunlight waiting. Well would they come andplay for treats? ^-^

In the background Severus watched on with a severely seriouslook on his long face, dark long lashed eyes on his bond and hersurrounding area. He was her protector and would watch out forher after all shed nearly been run over once today, he didntwant her to actually get hurt while attending a relatively laidback bonding such as this one.

Wesley was not much of a hiker he was really quiet shabby atthe whole traveling thing in general, and this was clear by themans current state. Having nothing but business attire he waslucky to have found one of his just for messy occasions button-

up shirts. It was a pale shade of blue and had a few paintsmears here and there from his days of sprucing up his newhome with a fresh coat of paint. The spirit had left a number ofhis shirt buttons undone, causing his wh ite undershirt to beexposed ever so slightly; normally he wouldnt dare do such athing but boy was it hot out! With his sleeves rolled up anddetermined to make it to this lake he had heard so much about,he almost missed the sounds of commotion coming from of thepath. Being of Wesleys spirit roots, he found it easy to feel outemotions more than people and by God! There were a number offeelings coming from that place.

While the nervous and logical half of the psychologist told him itwas best to keep going and ignore it, the curious and naturalpart of him urged him off the physical trail and onto theinvisible one. He thought to himself about how this really wasrather spontaneous and irresponsible, but at least it didnt feeldangerous. Everything he felt seemed rather positive, or atleast nonthreatening. So onward he went! Pushing both physicaland mental brush aside, he was lead straight into the chaos thatwas a heard of Mehdayri.

Ending up near the affectionate brothers, Wesley was rathersurprised. Oh dear.The minded-man murmured to himself.He hadnt really been expecting this sort of thing. It was hisfirst time around so many critters And aside from the busystreets, around so many people! There was a reason he

counseled people alone and didnt deal with group mediation;gathers only provoked that nervous nature out of the man.Examining the ordeal around him, he took note o f all the hyperyoung along with the mix of humanoid beings that gathered.Well he was here and there was no turning back, or rather,there was, but he would feel like quiet the fool had he donesuch. Sighing pathetically he looked to the Mehdayri near him.

You're rather nice He cooed wearily to one that had beenresting its head on its brother. Something about a creaturesaffection for one of its own was oddly refreshing among thechaos.

It would seem that Wesley was going to have to put off hislunch he planned at the lake. Instead he would admire the

nature of these young, a bit curious as to the Almond But fromthe feel he got o f her, she was tired of tending to so manymouths and he could see why. Adjusting the bag he had over hisshoulder that held his lunch o f a sandwich and pomegranateseeds, the man made sure to keep out of the craziness andaround the calmer sections of this gathering. As repetitive as itwas the words Oh dear kept coming to mind about the wholeoccasion here. Keep from becoming a broken record, he resistedthose words and simply looked a bit out of place among all therelaxed and confident people.

to this sort of life style, living with shinies that he had neverseen previously that could sometimes talk to him through hismind, going off to try to collect, bond to more, it was strange.It wasnt anything like his o ld life in the city, that was for sure,and sometimes Aidan didnt know if this life was exciting or if hemissed the busy, constant moving of New York. It wascompletely different, that was for sure.

Because of the nature of the shinies, Aidan decided that Karatagging along would just not be a good idea. Even if the Auratawas generally peaceful and was quiet caring, just the frills andthe four eyes and claws (even if she was pink all over) was justa huge no-no to him. Anniewell Annie was out of the question.Something told Aidan that calves and crazy wyverns did not

mix. So instead, he decided to take Chloe, the sometimesmoody, but always loveable faedragon. The Anta decided tosettle down on Aidans shoulder, not really caring to fly off tosome destination that she did not even know of. Lucky for theskater boy, the Faedragon had been fed before hand, and for themoment she radiated contentment. She nuzzled her head lightlyinto Aidans cheek affectionately. This day, this day would benice! As of now at least.

When they arrived, well Aidan got to work. The first pair henoticed were the two Lords that were butting heads, purelybecause of the fact that they were doing something that wasmanly. And Aidan, who was also very manly of course, was

instantly attracted to it. Yeah, go on! he said, cheering onthe Chocolate just because it seemed the Lemon had his handsfull with one of the other calves. The mangoes and peaches heheld onto tightly for the moment, careful not to crush them,ready to peel them open or just flat out offer them to thecalves. Hopefully a calf would take one soon, he was gettingkind of hungry

Len had decided to go on a nature walk. And she'd managed tocome alone. With Shantai a little ways away. Well at least thatwas the case a few m inutes ago. She didn't feel scared. Sinceshe'd heard some braying of calves. She stepped out to whereshe saw three Lager calves. She decided to get closer since shesaw other humans getting closer. She found an apple tree,wasn't really big, but still had fruit.

She took two and approached the Lager brother's. The one wasbraying and the other was trying to comfort the o ther. She took

a safe distance around them until she was in front of them thengently rolled the apples towards the brothers. "Here you go."Hopefully that didn't scare them away. Though she would like toget one here. But if nothing else there would always be the WildCreature stall. That was if she ever managed to get enoughmore for another pet.

Since Antonio loved to get something new every day. He loved itfor a day...then the next her forgot about it. Then Calypso wasalways insisting on new trinkets. Which unfortunately she didn'tget those. But she had many reasons why Len didn't get Calypsomany trinkets. It was sad how her mind drifted to her creaturesoften, but she couldn't help it much. They were her family now.Plus if she got a Mehdayri Shantai wouldn't always have to giveher transportation. And Shantai had her hands full watching andtrying to train Varekai.

Tom was out walking again - that was what he usually did whenhe wasn't working. It kept him out of the way of trouble, mosttimes, and it was relaxing to be out in nature, where one wasonly occasionally assaulted by some horr ible alien thing. Plus,he was probably in the best shape he'd ever been in, now, andconsidering all the marching he'd done while he was in thearmy, that was something. He had liked swimming, too, butsince the Squid Incident, he'd been considerably less keen onthe idea.

The braying of Mehdayri was pretty much constant backgroundnoise in the Weyrd. Less so out here, however, so Tom wascurious when he heard all the noise. His curiosity had nearlygotten him killed several times, and yet he still followed thenoise and found the Almond and her brood, with a crowd ofpeople gathering around. Oh, it must be a bonding! Tom glancedaround at some of the others. He wasn't quite sure what to dohere, what the protocol was - he only had one Mehdayri, andshe'd come from the Creature Stall. It didn't look like anyone inparticular was in charge; maybe the mother was wild. In thatcase, it was more or less a free-for-all.

Tom plucked an apple, or something that looked rather apple-yeven though it was blue, from a nearby tree and wanderedcloser to where the calves were playing. He stopped near theaffectionate Lager brothers, curiously watching them. Thatone calf was very sweet, but what on earth was wrong with theother one? He cautiously walked forward, peering closely at thebraying Lager with his brow furrowed in concern. Was the littlething hurt or something?

It was a beautiful day. Esperanza decided to take a short walk.The trees were beautiful shades of green, and Esperanza justliked hiking and looking at the beauty around her.Today, she remembered to bring her notebook. She l oved tosketch and take notes of the different species of plants and

animals she saw. She was even known to sketch the occasionalrock, if it was an unusual shape or color.Esperanza wiped the sweat off her forehead. She was thankfulshe was wearing a knee-length skirt instead of ankle-length, theair felt cool on her bare legs. However, she was still a littlewarm. She felt a heat blush rise to her cheeks.Suddenly she heard a noise in a nearby clearing. Esperanzadropped to her knees and crawled slowly, not realizing how shewas grass staining her skirt. "I wonder what that is?" she askedherself. She inched up a small boulder until she could see whatwas in the clearing."Mehdayri!" she exclaimed in a whisper. She proceeded to takeout her notebook and quickly sketch the herd.

It wasnt often that Aurlie needed time to think. In fact, itwas downright unlikely to find the woman away from people ingeneral; the need to think separately from multitasking on topof that was an occasion that she had no recollection of if it hadeven occurred at all. However, her game plan in arriving toPlanet was much different than any other course of action thatshe prescribed herself before. Planet had provided a challengefor her (shed be damned if that PIF was as haphazard aseveryone thought it was) and she was determined to do it onebetter. A challenge this big required more planning than just

jumping in headfirst.

Thus, here comes the thinking time. Thinking time so Aurliecould have successful planning time was step one. All steps

after that were to be determined, highlighting the importance ofaforementioned planning time. Awaking with steely eyes, sheprepared rather meticulously for the day, first having abreakfast of fruit and yogurt accompanied by a morning BloodyMary providing the necessary energy for the day, thanks to thesickness that plagued her. She adorned her diamonds, pearls,and silks before slipping on her wilderness boots which werenothing more special than leather boots without heels, originalonly because they were the only shoes without heels shepossessed. Packing a satchel with the necessary rations for theday - cheese, wine, caviar, and apple slices - she set off in awesterly direction, hoping to lose herself in the fields andmaybe enjoy a picnic on the river.

As she began to walk away from her home and further into thewild, she could feel herself relaxing. Her breathing becamedeeper and less constrictive, her gait became more natural and
