Laundry Room

The laundry room is a bustling center of activity in the lower caverns. Crumbled pillars have been restored and pools cleaned and properly sealed to attend to the weyr's massive commerical cleaning efforts. Personal laundry as well as all the weyrs rags, work clothes and other assorted things are taken care of here. There's a desk towards the main entrance where people can drop off their laundry and receive a ticket to hand back in when they come to pick up. There's almost always a crew of people on duty. Dirty underwear waits for no man.


The morning is always a hustle in the Weyr, people getting things done or trying to avoid getting things done. Currently Th'res the Wingleader of Lynx is supervising some of his way ward junior riders. The short man is leaning on the wall watching two transfer riders just assigned to his wing sort laundry, "Now I know your new here so I am taking it easy on you, but just because your a transfer doesn't mean you get to talk back. Because here, dragon color doesn't mean crap in a fighting wing, if that blue is your senior you shut your trap and listen to him.." The two for there part keep there mouths shut and heads down as they work nodding.

On her rest day, Alyna is taking care of all things domestic, and with a toddler comes a lot of dirty clothes. The bag she's lugging along also includes her and her weyrmate's items too and bulges roundly as she hefts it in front of the drop-off desk, looking around for an attendant but not immediately seeing any. Th'res is spotted though, and there's an amused tilt of her head in his direction when she hears what the bluerider is saying to his wingriders. She tries to hide the smirk that plays over her lips, and if he looks her way, she'll offer a salute, for the sake of the new transfers, "Wingleader. Fancy running into you here. You look like you have your hands full." she remarks nodding to the two sorting laundry.

Th'res turns and looks at Alyna, giving her that smirk smile he has when he is teaching people a lesson and returns the salute. "Oh not so much anymore, seem to have pounded out the rough edges now we are working shaping the finer points… right fella's" He glance at the two who were probably gawking at the green rider before going back to there work with zeal. Turning his attention back to Alyna he says "And how are you today?"

There's much to gawk at since Alyna's wearing a pair of shorts that would probably be considered indecent in the North, with a bikini top that definitely would be. Her Wingsecond knot hangs from her waistband as she leans a hand on the desktop watching in amusement as the two telgari riders get back to their sorting. "I'm doing ok, same shit, different day. What about yourself? Haven't seen you around in ages," the greenrider's tone betrays how much she's missed the Bluerider.

There is a shrug and motioning with his chin as Th'res states "Oh just dealing with differences of opinion and such. And of course you already know me and Talya are no more so, ya know self beratement was at the top of the list" He looks back at the green rider and chuckling "But then again I am sure if my wing seconds dressed like you more than a few of my people would fall in line.."

"You'll whip them in shape in no time I'm sure," Alyna remarks as she leans her elbows on the desktop, cupping her chin in one hand, her bent over position showing off golden tanned legs ending in strappy sandals. "I heard, about you and Talya I mean, I was sorry to hear that." She won't mention about having to almost reprimand her fellow Ocelot for her behavior at the time of the breakup, he doesn't need to know that. His last has her dropping her jaw in shock with a playful giggle, "Why Th'res! I thought you'd never notice…" There may be a bit of a wiggle of her rump in his direction in response to that.

Th'res rolls his eyes "I am dense not blind Alyna." Comes his sarcastic remark towards her he does chuckle abit before adding "How is the family? Does motherhood agree with you?" Because there was a time the green rider was terrified of it. The two wing riders working are now taking turns gawking at Alyna then switching, see Th'res they are learning to work together already.

"I never thought you were dense Th'res, but it's good to know you appreciate the view," Alyna drops a wink at the bluerider before sighing a bit at his last, "They are well. D'har is still wonderful and Adryn is over a Turn and a half now, talking, walking and the spitting image of his father. Motherhood is great, especially with the nannies able to take him whenever we need some time to ourselves. I'd never fully foster him, but it allows me to still have a life and be a mom too, if that makes sense," she asks as she tilts her head in the bluerider's direction. Oh she sees those sneaky glances she's getting, and the thirty something greenrider is loving it, proving once more that she's still got it.

Th'res nods slightly and clears his throat only because the two trouble makers stop as Alyna seems to move just enough to let them gawk more, he adds "Please don't tease the starving riders dear.." is his slight reprimand for the green rider. Th'res turns and says "and how is your lifemate, she isn't getting proddy again is she?"

"Who says it's them I'm trying to tease?" Alyna replies with a waggle of her brows in the bluerider's direction, pursing her lips in a kissey gesture aimed in his direction. But she'll be good and straighten up a little bit so that her pose isn't quite so provocative. "Oh no, Haquith almost never rises during the hottest months. She's thankfully not a frequent flyer. And how's Jedameth? He catch any ladies himself lately?"

Th'res gives her a dead pan look saying "Who said I wasn't one of them…" And then he is moving on quickly "Yes Jed has caught a few some Ista, one at High Reaches. So who knows I may have a kid out there now somewhere." He pushes off the wall adding "How is your wingsecond duties going? got your eye on any of the new weyrlings?"

Alyna is not used to this side of the bluerider, but she won't be doing anything to discourage the behaviour. "You know you only have to ask," she says, her voice dropping to a serious whisper as she catches his eyes with hers. But she will leave that standing offer as is and giggles a bit at his next, "Good for Jedameth! Don't you take your herbs though on a regular basis?" to his last she offers a wry grin in the ginger man's direction, "Wingsecond is good, although been getting some looks from the new Telgar transfers whenever they catch sight of my knot. But I might have my eye on a couple of the weyrlings, they are coming along pretty good. The assistant weyrlingmasters seem to have it mostly under control even if they don't have a Weyrlingmaster guiding them."

Th'res nods and grins "They better, most of them are from my wing. I would be very disappointed in them should they fail at there duties.." He is not even touching that offer in front of his subroutines right now. Later… maybe. Th'res shakes his head saying "I wasn't planing on it again so I stopped, what is the worst that could happen?" Comes the answer in that dead pan humor of the bluerider. "Have you got to spend much time with them?"

"Well the worse that could happen is you leaving a string of kids all over Pern," Alyna replies matter-of-factly with a shrug of her shoulders indicating, it's his life to do with what he wants. She's a bit disapointed he doesn't comment on her offer, but knows it's probably not the appropriate setting to do so, so she'll let it slide. "A little bit, not too much, and there are so many of them, it's hard to get to know them all, What about you?" she asks with a tilt of her head in his direction.

Th'res nods about the weyrlings because the thought of kids everywhere is something his mind just won't except, " I have met a few, though that Ryott has her hands full with that queen of hers. I got my eye on a few too.." He gives her a wink adding "but I am not sharing, least you try to steal them out from under me."

"Haven't met her, but she's a goldrider and going to Puma anyways," Alyna replies with a dismissive wave of her hand. "The other one, Ulrika? I've met a couple times now. Decent sort, but again, distined for Puma." She giggles in response to his wink, "I'm shocked you would think me capable of such a thing!" The greenrider puts on an exageratedly shock look at that before devolving into giggles, "It's ok, you don't have to share." Just then a Laundry attendant arrives and Alyna passes over her bag of clothes to be washed, waiting while she gets a ticket back.

Th'res chuckles "Oh I know you too well there young lady. So go use your tricks on someone else" He is openly teasing her now as he walks over to the attendant whom has catalogued Alyna's bag of clothing. "Those two got another hour or so, if they give you any trouble just send a firelizard to me I will be in the Library." He gives the two transfers a hard stare that causes then to stand up straighter and salutes the wingleader and Wingsecond before going back to work. He turns to Alyna offering his arm to her saying "Would you like to join me for a cup of Klah?"
I don't understand that.

"Tricks?" Alyna's eyes widen into the picture of pure innocence as she puts a hand to her chest in shock, "I don't know what you're talking about." But her eyes sparkle mischievously before she takes the ticket from the attendant with a smile of thanks. To the bluerider's offer of his arm, Alyna accepts without any hesitation, pressing her body up against his if he'll allow it. "Klah sounds lovely, and I would never turn down your company," she practically purrs back as they take their leave, a definite wiggle in her step as they go.
