Ok breathe, Jenasie kept telling herself after the dragonrider had left the bench; breathe damnit. Chino was happily asleep on her shoulder too, she gave him a little shoo and headed back down to the water, not that Zarias was going to be much help. She waded out about chest deep again and the dolphin came over. The dolphinner gave the creature a pat. "Thanks Zarias"

"Dragon man ok?" The dolphin asked and Jenasie laughed "Yeah Dragon man is fine"

"I go play now?" The dolphin wanted to know Giving her partner a belly rub Jenasise nodded. "Go play, have fun, thanks again"

The dolphin gave a flick of her tail and disappeared into deeper water and back out to the pod again, leaving the female dolphineer with more than a million questions on her mind. She headed back up the beach and towards the hall, **I might as well get something to eat** the thought earned her a chirp in her ear from the brown flit that tailed her up the beach. "Ok I'll get something for you too"

Supaka smiled at the journeywoman as she sat down beside her and her daughter. "Selka, you need to eat your finger roots too."

Jenasie smiled at the comment from woman to daughter and looked up at her friend. "I haven't caught you around in a while, what have you been up to?"

"Oh, we've just been learning our first teaching ballad, and I've been checking apprentices' papers. How about you?" Supaka grinned up at her fellow dolphineer.

"Dealing with this one" She replied waving a hand at where Chino was sitting on the table eyeing her lunch. "Among the usual jobs" She paused wondering if she should ask, deciding the two of them had been friends long enough Jenasie put the question forward "Hey I've got a favour to ask"

"All right, what is it? Selka, use your fork please, not your fingers." Supaka looked up at her friend and rolled her eyes. Kids.

"Ok, I was kind of put on the spot this morning, you see..." She paused, oh for _Sharding_ sakes just say it! She went off at herself "... ok I rescued a dragonrider this morning, he got pulled into the rip, anyway he's invited me up to the Weyr for dinner and I have _no_ idea what to do or wear" it was one of those female crisis that Jenasie used to tell herself she wouldn't have, yet here she was on the verge of acting like a maniac.

"Oh," Supaka said, a note of surprise in her voice. "Oh, well... What are your intentions?"

Jenasie blinked a little taken back she hadn't even through about that side of it, she looked at her plate as if the words would magically appear there, when the didn't she took a stab at it herself "To be honest I didn't even think that far ahead..." She paused and grin crossed her face "He's really handsome though"

"Well then, something colourful, but accentuates you in all the right places. A summer dress perhaps? Or a skirt?" Supaka suggested.

"Hmm..." game her thoughtful tone "Now that you mention it I think I have this long green dress my brother gave me" Jenasie's eyes lit up at the prospect, of being able to work all this out.

"Hmmm, brother's don't usually give sisters dresses to impress boys... Maybe I have something," Supaka suggested.

"Good point" Jenasie replied and half tapped and nervous finger on her leg, how in the name of Faranth had she gotten into this. "That would be a huge help Supaka"

Supaka smiled as she wiped her daughters face with a cloth to clean off the gravy threatening to dribble down her chin and onto her second shirt of the day. "Why don't you come by my rooms after the meal? I'm sure we can find you something."

She paused almost thinking it over, she still couldn't believe the was all happening, she looked briefly in front off her, as if noticing the food in front of her for the first time, good thing for habits. "Thanks again"
