K'ton, M'kal :: Bronze Draveth
OOC: Whoever wants to go next can feel free to have L'sin and his brown return and have K'ton tell your character to go~

K'ton stood once again at the height of the plateau as the Champions of Legend weyrling class gathered at Sorth's call. He'd had the bronze instruct them all to to arrive in full riding gear; they'd be flying with their dragons for the first time today. All but two. His gaze grazed over M'kal, in his riding gear like everyone else, as if he thought he would be flying today. He was sorely mistaken. Him and his partner in crime, that insolent little bluerider. But for now he ignored them both, focusing on the class as a whole, “Today you will be permitted to fly with your dragons for the first time. You will take turns, as your lifemates did when they had their first unmanned flights, fly out over the lake, and circle back to land. After today you will be free to fly with them as you please, but be aware that it will still take them some getting used to, carrying you around, so take it easy for a few days while they adjust and do not try anything stupid.”
He pulled a rolled up hide out and unrolled it, “Before you have your first flights, the Weyrwoman has made your weyr assignments. After you take your flights, you are to pack up any belongings you have from the barracks and move into your respective weyrs. You will have the rest of the day free to settle into your new quarters and continue to fly with your dragons. Tomorrow you will be introduced to your first aerial drills, and from here on out you will be flying messages and errands about the Weyr as part of your chores. Now then,” he looked down at the hide, listing the weyrlings and the weyrs they had been assigned to, reading them off. He rolled the hide up after he'd finished and didn't miss the confused look M'kal tossed at T'vir when neither of their names had been called. Did he really think their punishment was over?
“M'kal! T'vir! You won't be joining your classmates, in the air, or in weyrs of your own. After that little stunt you pulled last month, I'm not sure I can trust you in the air just yet,” he flicked his fingers dismissively at them, “What you can do is run your laps around the lake.”
“What!? Just when do you plan to let us fly then?” M'kal demanded, not to be dismissed so easily, “We'll fall behind!”
“Whenever I please,” K'ton responded cryptically, knowing very well it would incense the young man further, “Did I not warn you, boy? I can make your weyrlinghood very long indeed.” The threat hung, as it had a month ago when he'd first issued it, and M'kal glared at him, but he did offer the two of them a ray of hope, “Next month, your class will have your midpoint exams. If the both of you can manage to keep yourselves from doing anything too idiotic in the mean time, and pass your exams acceptably, perhaps you'll be allowed to fly.” M'kal's face fell at that. Next month? His hands clenched into fists at the satisfied smirk that pulled at the old man's lips, but the weyrlingmaster didn't give the two anymore of his time, “Now, I believe I already gave you both an order.” He returned his attention to the rest of the class, “L'sin, mount your brown and start us out.”
M'kal turned to make his way down from the plateau, seething, but with little other recourse if he didn't want to make things worse for himself. We aren't flying? Draveth's voice broke into his mind and he shook his head as the bronze followed after him, No. Not until NEXT MONTH. This is a load of wherryshit. We're going to fall behind the rest of the class!
Then let's fly anyway.
M'kal ran a hand over his face, the temptation to do just that was strong, but no. No. We can't risk getting in more trouble right now, not if we ever want to graduate and escape that Threadspore of a weyrlingmaster. We'll just have to work extra to catch up.
That shouldn't be hard. I can easily surpass anything my clutchmates can do.
M'kal was in no mood for his dragon's arrogance.
