"It's my birthday soon. You need to come surfing with me!" Harki
flopped onto the bench across from Rorela with an overly innocent
smile. "I spotted this sweet swell near Echo Bay that I think we
should check out. Beach isn't much, but the waves...!"

Rorela looked up, a cracker almost to her mouth. "I know it is.
Another turn older and..." She leaned forward with a mock gasp, "and
another grey hair. You sure you wanna go surfing? Your old bones up
to it?"

The other greenrider laughed. "Well, we _could_ go back to those
amazing waves by the Weyr boundary... you know, the ones I liked and
you nearly drowned?" She fluffed her short hair. "And it's not grey.
It's a blond streak."

Rorela popped the cracker in her mouth, then sipped her wine. "Blonde
streak my tight behind." Pouring Harki a glass, she offered it to her.
"Sure, we can go to Echo Bay. I'd rather not be spitting water up for
candlemarks from you kicking me off my board again."

"Not my fault if you can't take a joke." Harki accepted the glass and
took a long swallow. "Next rest day then, Miss Tight Ass?"

"My ass _is_ tight." Rorela easily agreed. "I've gotten plenty of
compliments." Her smug grin widened her face as she tossed a cracker
at Harki, aiming for her shirt. As it went down her top, she whooped.
"And perfect aim."

"Turd." Harki shook the cracker out of her shirt and popped it into
her mouth. Even if she did have crumbs down her shirt, she was
impressed. It wasn't as if Rorela had much to work with. "Be up early.
I am taking you out for some serious swells after that nonsense."

"I'm always up early... well, okay if I'm sleeping alone, I'm up
early. " Her grin widened. "Not that I'm doing that much lately." She
popped another cracker in her mouth. "Yeah, yeah. Your threats don't
scare me a bit. I'll be laughing when you flip your ass over your
head on the first wave. So you get him to admit it yet?"

Harki rolled her eyes-- if anyone was going to go for an unexpected
swim, it would be Rorela. Secretly she hoped that the waves would be
up for her birthingday. "Get who to what now?"

Rorela rolled her eyes. "I swear that you and Ma'din are both the
blindest, stubborn, pair I've ever seen." She snorted. "Want some
wine?"

"Obviously." The greenrider grinned. "Maybe I'll see if Ma'din wants
to come too. How's he at surfing?"

Rorela poured a glass of wine, snickering. "I don't think he's ever
surfed, actually. " Her eyes glinted with merriment. "He starts out
of the sun as much as possible because he burns so badly. But he can
swim... maybe you can teach him. And I can watch and laugh my ass
off."

Harki thought about it for a moment. On the one hand, there was
nothing like surf, friends, and a delicious-- and hopefully naked--
man to play in the waves with. But the waves she craved would be far
too big for a beginner, and it was her _birthingday_. It was time for
_her_ level of fun, and her friends would just have to keep up. "Well,
I'll see if he's interested," she said after a moment. "He can always
sit on the beach."

Rorela shrugged. "It'll be up to him, I guess. Who else are you
going to invite? We can have a bonfire and wine and snacks! I'll bring
the snacks. " She grinned at the thought of a massive beach party and
the resulting fun that it would bring. "Orgy!"

Harki laughed. "Sure. Why not? We could have a party."

"I knew there was a reason I liked you." Rorela's infectious grin
brightened her face. "So on your birthingday? Can't be late for
Threadfall, you know...or have a hangover....again. One more time
doing that and neither one of us is going to escape night watch."

"Psh. You can make that go away, Wingthird," Harki said, waving her
hand dismissively. "Besides, my birthingday's on a rest day. We could
always go right after drills the day before and sleep out on the
beach."

That brought a snort, then a pause as she considered the
possibilities. She liked the idea of camping out on the beach and
waking up to the sounds of the surf. "You've got a deal. Make a guest
list and we'll do it."

Harki blew Rorela a kiss. "Can't wait."
