Jaylene

Jaylene

Jaylene took another quick look around the new weyr. The wine was
cooling in its basket, treats waiting on the table, her brothers were
trying not to laugh at her, over on the big new couch. "You'd think
you were waiting for your first date!" J'zen teased.

"Well, it's my new weyr, I just want to make sure everything's in
place for Uetia when she gets over here."

Jayonne fiddled around with his bath robe. "Yeah, she's late. And
for a new dip in the private pool!" He took his head, before
grinning.

On cue, Uetia peeked in. "Sorry, I'm late. I got sidetracked," she
said cheerfully. "Sirjath took me to your old ledge first!"

"Heh...you're not the first one to do that!" Jaylene ran over to give
the girl a quick hug, before stepping back. "So..what do you think?"

She stepped properly, handed Jaylene the bottle of rum she had brought
and looked around. "Nice, lot's of room," she said admiringly. Just
for herself she had to admit feeling bit envious. She had ambitions of
her own. But Uetia was also realistic and knew that someone who's been
wingrider for less than Turn was not going to get promoted to
Wingthird.

"Bring a bathrobe? Ready to test that private pool?" Jaylene teased
as she walked over to her table to fetch the wine, and to put the
bottle of rum down. That would be welcomed later. Only sparkling
wine would do for a first dip in the pool.

"I don't have one. Extra large towel works just fine with me," Uetia replied.

"Sexy!" Jayonne teased, jumping up and following his brother into the
bathing room.

"Like you would know it even if it bit your nose, " Uetia retorted.
She didn't see herself as sexy or even beautiful.

"Oh?" Jayonne laughed, sweeping her up in an embrace and waltzing her
across the room.
"Back off, kid," Uetia growled playfully and pushed him away from her.
"Do you have some sort of deathwish?"

"If that's what turns you on..." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"No, it doesn't. You too scrawny," Uetia wrinkled her nose at him.

J'zen laughed and said, "good girl, you show him!"

Jayonne wrinkled his nose at his brother and ran over to waltz with
him instead. "You_may_be the bigger brother but I'm still a lot
taller than you!"

"Hey kids! Can everyone waltz on over here?" Jaylene stood in her
bathing grown, the bottle of white wine in one hand, four glasses
delicately held in the other.

Uetia picked up her towel. "Yes ma'am" she replied with a grin.

"And in we go." Jaylene ushered her and her brothers into the bathing
pool. Placing the glasses along the edge, she poured the wine into
them, saying over her shoulder, "J'zen, can you bring that other one
that's on the table?" One bottle only had filled enough for the five
of them. She handed a glass each to Uetia and Jayonne and then
slipped into the pool with a happy sigh.

Uetia hesitated a bit before joining her. She was hold-bred after all.
She made sure Jayonne didn't see anything when she slipped into the
pool. She didn't care if J'zen saw, since she knew he wasn't
interested. She rested her head against the rim. "Mmm, nice," she
said.

Jayonne chuckled. He_had_seen a bit, enough to know what a lucky fool
Sarbonus was. Taking a gulp of the wine, he made a great show of
slipping out of his bathing robe, just to mortify Uetia.

Uetia simply closed her eyes and sipped from the glass.

"Stop being silly, Jayonne, or I'll tell Uetia all about when your's
was only this big." Jaylene raised a pinkie and wiggled it. She had
changed enough of his nappies in her day not to be the least bit
embarrassed by her naked brother.

"Or I'll ask G'el to tell what I do with annoying brothers," Uetia
said. "By the way, J'zen, you landed my brother in to a trouble with
his wingleader. His passenger complained about being abandoned,
dereliction of duty or something and now he's not allowed outside the
Weyr unless it's Fall or sweepriding for month or few."

"Oh, but girly, it was so worth it!" J'zen flushed a bit at the
memory, as he slid into the pool. Her brother had been a big boy
indeed. "Maybe I'll go pay him a visit and 'cheer' him up."

"I'm sure he'll be happy if you do. And the weyr's greenriders will be
happy to have a break from him," she grinned. Her brother was just
impossible.

"A 'break' is the right term...for him." J'zen grinned at that.
"After I recover, I'd be more than happy to go and visit."

"Yeah, I swear you couldn't sit down for a few days, after that!"
Jaylene teased, taking a sip of her wine and splashing her brother
with some water.

"I'm suddenly grateful I'm not a man," Uetia laughed into her glass,
spraying bubbles. "Whoops!"

"See what you almost missed there, Jayonne?" Jaylene giggled and
poured some more wine into Uetia's glass.

The youngest brother held up his hands and said, "No thanks. I'd have
to be_really_drunk to think about doing that."

"Hmm..wonder if you'd do it on a bet." J'zen mused. The threesome
liked sending each other out on wild bets...could this be the wildest
one of all?

"Ack," Uetia was in danger of drowning into her wine. Why did she
always end up laughing until her belly hurt with these three?

"Hmmm..you wanna wager as well?" J'zen asked Uetia.

"No, not me," she shook her head.

"You're no fun!" J'zen laughed, before turning to his sister. "So we
wagering on who/what/how he takes it? Top or bottom? All that?"

"Hey! I never agreed to this!" Jayonne protested.

Uetia actually felt sorry for him, but not enough to do something about it.

"Three marks for just oral, five says he's on top...and 20 if he's on
bottom," Jaylene figured.

Jayonne looked at Uetia and shrugged his shoulders. "So you're gonna
give me 20 whole marks if I lay on my back like J'zen here and let
some guy do the dirty deed with me? Hmm...if I get _really_drunk that
might be worth it!"

"Too bad G'el isn't here," Uetia said. "He would propably give you the 20..."

"If it was G'el, you'd better make it 40!" Jayonne rolled his eyes at
the three of them giggling like little girls.

"He would be broke after that," Uetia chuckled. Her brother never
could hold on to marks.

"Serve him right to be the one broken for once," J'zen added, nodding smugly.

Uetia just laughed and relaxed.
