}:Look what I can do!:{ Meith cried gleefully to the gold beside him.
Dipping his snout under the water, the little brown blew out hard and
created a delightful stream of bubbles that danced and popped along
the surface of the Weyrlake. }:You try!:{

Santhiath watched the smaller brown, her attitude swaying from haughty
to curious. Eventually, curiousity won. }: That does look like fun, :{
she said and pushed her head underwater.

Unfortunatly, she inhaled instead of blowing out air so she ended up
her nasal's full of water. She pulled her head up, sneezing, snorting
and spluttering. Dessa was very hard trying not to laugh.

}: Urgh, are you trying to drown me? :{ Santhiath accused him.

}:No!:{ the little brown said emphatically, his eyes tinted with the
yellow of concern. }:You breathe in outside the water, and breath out
inside the water,:{ he gently explained.

}: Hmph, :{ the gold dragonet sniffed but tried again. This time she
managed to blow out and make bubbles. }; They tickle. :{

}:I like it!:{ Meith said as he blew even harder, enjoying the
sensation of the bubbles running along his snout.

Santhiath watched him and then suddenly used her large wings to scoop
up water and douse the brown. }: Now, that's fun :{, she giggled.

The little brown shook his head, sending out droplets of water in all
directions. }:Look at me! I'm raining!:{

}: Yes, you are, :{ Santhiath replied, still amused.

The little brown was bouncing with excitement. }:Do it again! Do it again!:{

}: Alright, :{ Santhiath agreed. Again she used her large wings to
scoop up water and dump in on the brown.

Meith was delighted at the spray as he shook as much of his body as
he could, almost losing his balance. }:It's fun! Try it!:{
Spreading his little brown wings, he threw as much water as he could
towards the golden head.

Santhiath stared him, water dripping from her head. }: Did I ask for a
shower? :{ She asked indignantly.

**Play nice, ** Dessa scolded her. Santhiath's tendency go from
playful to haughty in a second was confusing to her clutchmates.

}:But... You're supposed to shake it off and make it rain...:{ the
little brown said in his defense as he shrank back from the larger
gold.

}: You need to have my permission before you get _me_wet, :{ Santhiath said.

}Well, then give me permission so we can keep playing!:{ Meith said,
not seeing that as any sort of true obstacle to their fun.

Santhiath seemed to ponder that a moment. }: You may proceed, :{ she
then declared regally.

T'nep walked up beside Dessa, watching in confusion as his little
brown splashed water onto his golden Clutchmate. "What are they
doing?"

"I'm pretty sure it's some sort of game," Dessa replied. "I'm not sure
of the rules though," she had a thoughtful pause. "I'm not sure if
they're sure of the rules either. It does seem to involve lot of
water."

}:Rain on me! Rain on me!:{ the little brown begged, bouncing up and
down in excitement.

"Sometimes he confuses me," T'nep said with a shake of his head. "But
he definitely has balls if he can get away with trying to drown a
gold."

"I think she secretly likes it. Some of her clutch mates just grovel
around her," Dessa replied.

T'nep shrugged his acknowledgement. Secretly, he was quite pleased
that his brown wasn't afraid of his metallic clutchmates. He was
going to the best brown in the Weyr, he was just sure of that.
