Shopping!!!

How in the world had she gotten him to agree to accompany her on her 
rounds through the shops?

Easily enough, he recalled with a frown, as he watched Callana look 
at yet another couch. All she had to do was open her mouth and ask 
him if he could tell her how to get to the shops and he heard himself saying
the he'd be glad to show her.

Well it hadn't been all bad. She'd been quick to pick out the things 
she found she liked. Until they had come to the furniture shop. 

"That one looks comfortable," he said hoping to influence her choice 
so they could get out of there.

"Na... to short," she said and turned to look at another one behind 
the first. "It would looked ridiculous in the space I have picked 
out in the living room."

By the time she'd finally decided on the perfect couch to fit into 
her new apartment, Farr'in was relieved that they only had one more 
shop to hit before dinner. His parents leather shop. He'd saved it 
for last, knowing the girl would enjoy herself there.

He was right.

Callana loved the shop and Danki was making sure she got to see 
everything there was to trade, barter or sell. 

When he reminded them that dinner was about to start, they told him 
to go on. Danki told him after checking with Callana to make sure the 
girl agreed, that she would see that the girl made it there in time 
to eat.

(Next Morning)
------------------

<Lenna my human,>

<<Go away, I'm still sleeping,>> the blond told her dragon as she 
turned over and cuddled close to the warm body in the bed with her.

<Well okay...if you want me to tell the Queen Syren that you're to 
sleepy to come when her rider wants you...I don't think she'll take 
it to well, but if you insist.>

<<Don't you dare!!>> Lenna sent back quickly as she turned and 
rolled out of the bed. <<Why didn't you say you had a message from 
Syren in the first place?>>

<You didn't ask.>

Getting dressed quickly and quietly so as not to wake B'rand, Lenna 
was soon racing from the room and out onto the dragons ledge where 
the lavender dragon was waiting.

She was somewhat surprised to see her brother arriving seconds later 
after Blanchie had left her on the Warren floor.

"What are you doing here?" she asked as she waited for him.

"Same as you I'll bet," he said.

Both of them moved off the green as two more dragons landed. They recognized
the two new transfers as the dismounted and after greeting 
they found they all had been called into the Warrenlady's office.

"Wonder what this is all about," Lenna muttered when they came to the 
door. Farr'in knocked and they heard Cynthia call out for them to enter

"You called for us?" Callana said, unsmiling.

"Yes, I need to assign patrol partners to the four of you."

"And?" Callana prompted impatiently. Obviously the woman was 
uncomfortable being in the warrenlady's office.

"Callana, you are Farr'in's patrol partner. And Katrina, you and 
Lenna pair up."

"What about Nelar?" Lenna asked. "Dan'yar told me yesterday that I 
was going to be paired with her for a while."

"Well those plans have been changed," her old friend told her. "I'd 
prefer to have you paired with Katrina since she's already familiar 
with you."

"Fine by me," Lenna smiled.

"Farr'in, Callana, and Lenna, you are excused. Katrina, if you would 
stay a few minutes, I would like to talk with you about something," 
Cynthia said smiling.

"Well partner you ready to go," Farr'in turned to face Callana when 
the three walked outside. "No time to begin learning the lay of the 
land like the presence."

"I'm ready if you are." she threw back his challenge and saw him 
salute her.

"Have fun you two," Lenna called  after them as she moved to stand 
by Blanchie. She didn't know how long Katrina was going to be, but 
decided to wait for her anyway. 

--------------------------------
Nrpg: I'll get to Lenna's reaction to the mating flight tomorrow...
the keys are swimming before my eyes right now......

Kris: I figure Katrina and Lenna could go by the dining hall for 
something to eat to kill time until she has to go back to the 
Warrenlady's office. I would give Lenna and Katrina time to get 
to know each other a little better.
