Lurane sighed as she looked out across the Weyrbowl. She wondered how her brother, L'en, was doing. It just wasn't fair. Kekath had as much right to be free as Esteth. They were clutchmates for Faranth's sake. What made the pinks different enough to be tormented like this? They looked like they could be very fast in the air, if they ever had the chance to fly.
Lurane, Yiveth, Zenth and theirs approach.
Esteth broke into her musings with the announcement that the pink she'd talked to and her "weyrmate" were coming. Aceri bugled a greeting to the dragons and firelizards as they came into the weyr. Lurane nodded a greeting and deliberately closed the door, after Des'ran and everyone else was in the room.
"I guess I should tell you why I wanted to meet you. Well, it has to do with my brother. He too is bonded to a pink." Before she could go on, Aceri swooped over to B'mre and started to chatter at the bronze firelizard. Lurane's jaw dropped as she realized that the bronze was giving off a small amount of light. That meant that he was a wild bred firelizard.

B'mre nodded and siad " Well you won't have to worry. We will take him with us if that is what you are asking us to do. We will take good care of him. We have our escape all worked out." His bornze who was on his shoulder just chirped at the gold as Bamre saw the look on the face of the scarlet rider and siad " I got Topaz here before I was a pink rider. So don't worry he is ok. He is about 4 turns old now."

"It's not just that, I wish it were just that." Lurane felt a lump grow in her throat as her voice cracked, despite her efforts to keep a calm facade. Aceri swooped back, landed on her human's shoulder, and started to croon soothingly. She didn't like it when her person was upset.
Des'ran had to ask; he felt as if they were on the edge of something important. Maybe if he asked the question that danced on the tip of his tongue they would find out something about her and the reason they were here.
"What is it then, if it isn't just that he is bonded to a pink?"
Lurane almost winced at the directness of the question. It pierced right to the heart of her greatest fear for her brother. She spoke in a soft voice, though no-one else was there to hear, "I think he's loosing himself. He used to be so daring and extroverted. Now he seems so listless and even Kekath says he is withdrawing inside himself. I'm worried about him." She knew that they might be sympathetic because they were bonded to pinks themselves. Otherwise she never would have dared admit that she was distressed because of someone who was supposed to be as low as the least drudge.

B'mre thought about it for a moment. Becuase the boy sounded like he used to be before he was paired with Des'ran. Zenth though before then had always kept him out of himself mostly. If it was not for her he would not be waking up beside Des'ran everyday. B'mre looked at her and said " Could you call him to come here. I think Zenth might be able to help him with a temporay fix. He though should start getting even more better once we have gotten him away form this Weyr." Zenth nuzzled B'mre knowing why he was thinking this. B'mre then siad " Zenth has a mothering quailty about her that might help."

Lurane nodded, "Of course, Esteth can call Kekath and see if they can come here." Esteth stretched and nuzzled Yiveth quickly before she mentally called for her pink brother.
Kekath, please come see me and Mine.
If Kekath had heard the request from any dragon but Esteth, he might have said no automatically. If it had been phrased as an order, there was no doubt that he would have refused instantly. However, the fact that it was Esteth speaking and that she had phrased it so politely made it hard for him to refuse her request.
I will bring Mine and we will come.
Kekath insisted to L'en that they go up to his sister's weyr. The pink quickly gave up on trying to reason with his person and dragged his rider up to the weyr.
Esteth, tell yours to open the door.
Esteth nudged her rider over to the door and Lurane, guessing what was on her dragon's mind, opened it for her brother and Kekath. The pair walked in, and a starker contrast between proud dragon and drooping, listless rider could hardly be imagined. Kekath strode in as if he were a Silver-Bronze, while his rider shuffled in, looking at the floor as if it was too much effort to look anywhere else.

B'mre just looked at Zenth and it was immadtily that she and his fair did there thing. All of B'mre's flits found diffent places to purch on the man. While Zenth moved to his side and without saying anything she pulled him close to her side with her wing and just nuzzled him as she curled up around him. She did not say anything for a few moments wanting him to just realx and fell better. The three flit's did there best to comfornt him aslo. Zenth then asked him in a very motherly voice Tell me my dear what is troubling you.

Kekath blinked with confusion as Zenth and B'mre's firelizard fair got close to his human. What was going on? His human had been sad a lot, did they want to help?
L'en flinched automatically at Zenth's talking to him. The only reason other dragons touched his mind was to berate him and Kekath for being horrible drudges and tell him that Kekath should never have hatched.
It was Kekath who answered Zenth. Riders and their dragons hate me because I don't act like most pinks. I don't do submissive cowering.
Lurane watched as her heart broke in her chest. How could her brother have changed so much? Her pain quickly turned to anger. The riders that had done this to her brother would pay. He may have been a pain when he was younger, but he didn't deserve this. No-one deserved to be hurt this way.
Des'ran watched, feeling helpless. He didn't know what to do to make the other pinkrider feel better. He looked at B'mre questioningly. What could he do?

Zenth looked at the other pink Don't worry about that. They are all fools. You don't see me cowering to any dragon. You are just as good as they are. They are the one's worng not you. She then turned her attetion back to the young man. She nuzzled him when she saw him flich. She said to him No reason to be scared my dear. No one here is going to yell at you or harm you. I won't let them. Now talk to me. Tell me why you so quite. There is nothing to be scared of. You have Kekath. He takes care of you. Soon you will be free and no one will yell at you again. She just curled around him and held him close.
