Aleni of Gold Riyobith
"Which one?" Aleni asked, holding both 'new' dresses up against herself and spinning to give Riyobith a look. The rosy gold paused in her grooming, blinked at the garments and then at her rider. Her tail flicked as she replied, but her paws- where Red was sprawled over one in dead sleep- remained carefully still.
The black one is nice, but- perhaps the red? Her judgement was passed carefully; this was a common practice and Riyobith's 'eye' for fashion had improved with time, as well as her tendency to offer a suggestion rather than simply replying that they both looked nice and her rider would look lovely in them. Which she would, of course, and Riyobith would hear no other opinion on the matter. Try it on?
Willingly, Aleni set the black one aside and pulled on the red, tugging the skirt down and smoothing her hands down her body to get rid of wrinkles. These were part of a small pile she'd gotten from the tailors, cast off from others in the Weyr for various reasons, and she was picking her favorites from them. Maybe Vitra would like to go through them too; she'd tell her sister later.
Yes, it does look good, Riyobith approved, a low rumble rising from her throat as Aleni twitched the filmy skirt and looked at the gold over her shoulder, smiling. Will you keep this one?
"I think so. I like it." Pulling it off once more, Aleni carefully folded it and placed it in her trunk before gathering the rest, what she would be returning for others to pick from, and promising Riyo she'd be back in a while as she left her weyr for the Weavers. The cold wrapped around her instantly, away from the warmth of the fire in her weyr, and the gold weyrling hunched her shoulders around her armful of clothes as she hurried along.
