My hide itches. Time for oiling. Zalmaranth informed Karredy that morning, some time after dawn. Karredy woke up and nodded before remembered that Zalmaranth probably couldn't see her from this angle.
"Right. Just a few minutes." She got dressed with minimal fuss (despite stumbling in the dark a few times), made a note to throw out the stale meatrolls hidden under the leftover parchment on her desk, and headed down to the dining cavern to grab some klah and sweet rolls. Then it was back to her weyr to get Zalmaranth's sweetsand and oil before they flew down to the lake.
The bath went smoothly, as long as it took--by the time she was done getting her huge dragon's hide clean, it had been a good two or three candlemarks and the day was starting to warm up. Zalmaranth shook off most of the sweetsand and swam to the deeper parts of the lake to rinse the rest off, a gleaming shadow amidst the dark water. Karredy headed back to shore and dried herself off with her towel, then flopped down on it with a sigh.
She had a good ten or fifteen minutes before Zalmaranth needed her help with extra rinsing, and she intended to use it to get warm after wading in the lake.
