Zeren had finished his chores for the morning, leaving him with some free time, which he wasn't best pleased about, he hated being idle, even if when he had free time. It was a fairly nice day so he took a wander to the kitchens, he liked to interact with the spit canines, and there were often small felines with their young in to warm recesses. When he'd reached the kitchens, he was asked to fetch a couple of wherries for the tables, nodding silently he went down to the pens.
Once he got there he looked around for the keepers. Spying the herdbeasts in their pens he went over, making soothing noises and holding his hand out to the closest one "hello there big fellow, you're a strong creature aren't you" he murmured to the large beast, his focus entirely on the animal.

It was a particularly nice day outside, at least to Tie's standards with the weather growing warmer and her clothing growing less and less in amount. Soon she would wear nothing but wraps on her chest to beat the heat, and shorts that hardly covered her at all. It was a bit more embarrassing as she grew older to wear hardly anything at all, mostly because of how her body was developing, but being nearly nude certainly was better then melting in the summer sun.
So as it were the girl was walking about barefoot and enjoying the soft grasses, making her way over to where a certain ovine would be grazing with his specific ewes. It always made Tie's day to go and see Pippin, though she was shocked into silence when she saw someone else there, reaching out towards him. About her shoulders a black flitter screeched in warning, understanding the sudden nervousness that his person was feeling. A green flitter darted from between and over the pair, making her way quickly towards the large ovine and the person handling it. Back away, back away!

Zeren shivered as a blast of cold air descended from above, along with a small 'boom' he looked up to see a rather pretty green flit, at the same time he got the message emanating from it. He stepped down off the gate and backed up a little, slowly as to not agitate the ovines or the little fire lizard. "Well hello pretty girl, aren't you a wonderful shade of green" he said softly once he'd backed away enough to calm the whirling eyes, sending warm thoughts and friendly images (hopefully) towards her.
He turned to locate the flits owner, spying a scanitly clad lass, he averted his eyes a little, not being as used to near nudity as several others from the Weyr, as well as being respectful towards her, rather than gawp at her blossoming figure. "um, is she yours?" he mumbled, nervous that he'd been caught near the woolly animals.

Skybox spread her wings and hissed at the boy one more time, her eyes swirling from their warning red back to her more neutral yellow. She flapped her wings one more time and darted over towards Tiepet, settling on her opposite shoulder. Caine didn't seem to enjoy the sudden company and launched himself upwards, his own cheeps unhappy. Tie waved him off with her hand, not wanting to hear his cries this early into her good mood.
"Skybox? Y-y-es. She gets upset when people she doesn't know show up around....the ovines."
It was mostly because of her training that Skybox acted that way, which was in a way...a good thing. It prevented untrained people from hurting the animals or being hurt themselves, and in a way the green had prevented a stranger from touching Pippin. It evened out!
"W...what are you d-do-doing up here?"

Zeren watched with envy as the green settled on her owners shoulder, it was then he noticed the black curled on her other shoulder "y...you have a Black?!" he exclaimed, surprised into staring at her and her flits. He wondered how on earth she'd gotten a black fire lizard, but was not going to ask anytime soon.
"Skybox" he murmured to himself nodding slightly "oh? the woolies?" he said, snapping out of his surprise a little "the cooks told me to fetch a couple of wherries for the tables and i got distraced by the Ram" he said quietly, saying more than he usually would since she had Flits.

"Woolies? The...those there are for breeding, not...not eating. You're in the wrong area if you're...trying to find wherries. They're in a pen over there."
Tie pointed a few areas over, trying to get this stranger more and more away from Pippin. She could be possessive, yes, and she didn't like anyone that wasn't kin touching something she'd raised from a lamb. Sure Pippin was huge and impressive and she liked him being praised - just don't touch!
It was then that she remembered he mentioned her black firelizard, and almost at the mere thought of him Caine spiraled in front of her body as if to show himself off more. Was this other person jealous? How exciting to the little black!
"This...this is Caine. And that ram...is Pippin."

Zeren nodded curtly "I've not been here long in the Weyr" he said as if that explained everything, standing around wasn't his style, and began to feel a little unfomfortable jsut standing there. His hand crepped up and rubbed at the back of his neck, something he was unconcious of in reaction to being slightly nervous.
Looking over at the Ram again he smiled, "you know a lot about the wollies then?" he asked, curious a little, "Your black flit, Caine is it? is....unusual" he said, stifling a small giggle as the black seemed to show off, but then his eyes grew slightly dark, and he looked away from the girl and her fire lizards and moved towards the pens again, the Ram having moved off with the rest of the flock. He leaned against the rails for a moment, and sighed quietly and to himself.

"I don't know what a woolie is."
He kept using that word. What did it mean?! Why wouldn't he explain himself with that, other this his odd actions? Tie was doing her best to stay civil, to keep a smile on her face, but this odd character who was clearly new to the ways of the Weyr was making it somewhat hard on her. At least whenever he mentioned Caine she could respond in turn, but that was about it.
"I...I got Caine as a reward, for working very hard. He's....special to me."
When the boy turned and looked away, sighing, Tie nearly mimicked the action - only hers was out of exasperation. She couldn't talk like this!

"oh, sorry, Woolies is what i call them" he said, pointing to the Ram and the other beasts in the paddock. "I....I've not been here long, i've never seen a Black up close, you must be very lucky to have him" here Zeren sighed again, glancing upwards to the Dragons, coming and going from the Weyr, a great longing was wrapped up in that sigh, "i wish i was free, like the dragons" he mumbled to himself "if i had a dragon they'd look at me differently, i would finally be my own person." Then he blushed, he'd forgotten that the girl was there, he eyed her lizards with great envy, maybe...maybe a Flit would be good enough to make his parents think differently.

"If you want....I...I could ma-maybe help you look for flit...flitter eggs. Skybox...is good at finding others of her kind, and I...I think that would be useful, right?"
This conversation was really getting Tiepet no where, but at least she was trying. Hopefully someone would come and call and tell her it was time to go do something else, and she could politely leave.
Her luck was never that good.

Zeren looked at Tiepet, "you'd do that?" he asked her surprised stepping backwards off the fence and looking at the flit that had scolded him before, "thanks, that's nice of you"
Rubbing the back of his neck slightly nervously he ventured a small smile, "so, um... where are the wherry pens?" he said "i dont want to get in trouble with the cook, she seems nice but i wouldn't want to make her angry by being too late bringing her what she wanted." to be honest he didn't really know what he was doing, he didn't know how the weyr kitchens worked at all
