A rare and beautiful evening

Who: Anaddui, Essdara
Where: Anaddui's Weyr
When: Day 15, Month 1, Turn 2 (Immidiately after this scene in the bowl)
Comment: Ana had to go, but it's shaping up to be a nice relationship for them. We'll see where it goes!



Essdara slips down from Aurenth, and looks around with a quiet smile. "It's wonderful, Ana. Though you are going to definately need to spend some time decorating it, making it as beautiful as the two of you."

Anaddui slides off Aurenth's neck and helps Essdara down. She steps into the weyr and keeps the curtain raised for Essdara to step through. "Welcome."

Essdara looks back to Anaddui. "Thank you very much, both of you, for bringing me up here. I've been hoping to see you again for a while, but you weyrlings are always so busy."

Anaddui smiles and gestures for Essdara to sit on one of the worn chairs. Playing hostess, she goes to one of the shelves and begins to slice a green apple. "I took some cheese from the kitchen earlier, for this occasion." She grins. Slicing some of the hard cheese, Ana layers it between the apple slices and grinds some pepper on top. "And some of this." A bottle of wine, purchased from the few marks the weyrling earns.

Essdara grins a little, "The apple and the cheese look lovely, dearheart, but I confess I tend to avoid wine. I've had... Bad experiences with it, especially lately." She leans back a bit in the chair, with a faint blush. "Occaison? You only just got your weyr, then... And you found me?"

Anaddui smirks "I have no problem drinking some of this and saving the rest for later." She puts the snacks on the table and pops the wine open. Ana pours a glass for herself, and then brings out her second surprise. Loosely wrapped in a piece of thin hide is a belt buckle. "It's yours." She says proudly. "I hope you like it." Anxiety returns to her voice. She's trying to please Dara, it seems.

A belt buckle, modelled in the shape of a dragon, coloured a bright green. It has been wrought by apprentice hands, it seems, but is still worthy of being worn. It carries an inscription 'To Dara, with love, Ana and Aurenth.'

Essdara blinks, as she takes the wrapped present and carefully opens it, with wide eyes. "It's lovely, Ana. Thank you, and thank Aurenth for me." She smiles up at the greenrider, a little shyly. "I thought it was traditional to give someone moving in somewhere new a gift, not receive one."

(( The two chat, snack, and drink cider until bedtime, which is marked by snuggling and sleeping and happy dreams ))
