Having watched the sun come up over the plateau, D'ryne was ready to watch
Quirinyth hunt. He noticed the only other one hunting was a young green.

}:She is Tamineth. She is well muscled for one so young, is she not?:{

**Indeed** D'ryne looked around for the green's rider and seeing the
dark-haired young woman he headed in her direction, greeting her with a
smile, "Good morning."

"Good morning to you" Trealeina said returning the smile as she stood to
greet him. "Beautiful sunrise isn't it?" she said as she looked again toward
the sun.

"Positively lovely," he replied. "There are not too many that want to be up
so early to appreciate it, though."

Trealeina chuckled softly "I suppose not" she breathed deeply savoring the
morning air. "Personally I like the early mornings," she added "But most of
the time it is just me and Tamineth that are out here before the sun comes
up."

"Quirinyth and I seldom miss a sunrise, though we tend to vary our vantage
points. I like it up here, but the beach is a wonderful spot to watch the
day begin as well so sometimes we'll do that. Nothing like a jump /between/
to bring you fully awake in the morning," he quipped.

Trealeina shivered at the thought of the cold of between so early. " I guess
it would be quite the eye opener first thing in the morning." She thought
for a second. "Perhaps we should check out the sunrise on the beach. We have
always spent it here because this is where the food is." she laughed." A
change of scenery would be nice once in a while though."

"There are definitely mornings when I want to be near breakfast and klah. In
those cases, I'll watch the sunrise from the weyrbowl, but I would
absolutely recommend the beach for a bit of morning adventure, particularly
if you have the time to tarry." D'ryne looked to where the dragons were
hunting and noticed that Quirinyth had already picked off a good sized
herdbeast. "He must be hungry this morning, he usually takes a bit more time
to choose."

"Tamineth has to have just the right size, or she says it just doesn't taste
as good." Trealeina said as she watched Tamineth looking down at the heard,
seemingly sizing them up. "Perhaps on the next rest day, we can make a short
trip to the beach to watch the sunrise."

She thought for a second. "yes, that would be nice." she said tapping her
finger on her chin. "Make a morning of it, maybe bring some klah and some
sweet rolls." Trealeina thought as she watched Tamineth swoop down on her
chosen beast. "If I can't keep it warm from /between/, I could always make a
fire and warm it up again. Maybe bring extra, in case we have company" she
added watching D'ryne from the corner of her eye.

Noticing her surveillance D'yrne curbed a smile. "You know, if you are not
picky about the company you keep, Quirinyth and I can show you some of the
very best sunrise beaches," he offered

Trealeina allowed herself a small smile. "Anyone who knows where the best
places to watch at sunrise, can't be bad company." she said looking in his
direction again trying to cover a coy smile.

"You just might want to reserve judgment," D'yrne said with a chuckle. "My
name is D'ryne. With whom do I have the pleasure of sharing breakfast and
sunrise on restday?"

"Indeed," she replied with a slight grin. "My name is Trealeina" she said as
she held her hand out for a handshake.
