Ryssia read the note carefully for the third time before the words finally sunk in. "I'm supposed to teach this class?" she asked of nobody in particular.

Rysk however was feeling rather impish and so she answered, *~Well isn't that what it says?~* The black wher loved tormenting her handler with silly questions like this and Ryssia could feel the wher's mirth.

Glaring in the general direction of her soulmate (Rysk was outside sunning and Ryssia was eating lunch) Ryssia just snorted. ~*Pest,*~ she sent.

Rysk just ignored her rider and called to her children, **Bring your handlers to the main training ground, it is time for a lesson and Mine is teaching so it should be rather interesting.** Rysk had let her message also drift to Ryssia and snorted at the sudden flash of defensiveness from her handler.

Grumbling Ryssia stalked out of the dining hall out to the training ground. She remembered this lesson from her initial training very well and so she would have no problem teaching it, it was just she'd never really taught before. When she reached the training ground she took a seat on one of the logs that had been placed in a rough circle around the perimeter. Waiting for the apprentices handlers could take a while, after all some of them had other jobs that they performed when they weren't training.

Caldrin jumped as Cask woke him up. It was rare for Caldrin to be asleep at this time of day..but he was truly VERY tired. Cask was harder and harder to take care of everyday. He rose and pulled on clean clothes, before rushing over to the small bronze and patting him. "Ready?" ~*Yes. We go now? I'm excited. This will be fun!*~ "Fun isn't the word I would use, Cask." Caldrin said as he and the wherling went to the training grounds.

"Good day to you, Lady Ryssia. How are you and Rysk today?" Caldrin asked as he and Cask came to a stop near her.

Mergae and Mersk were sitting by the lake, both intent on the something that was rippling the surface. **Fish** Said Mersk. ~*Too big*~ replied Mergae. ~*Dunno what it is*~ she looked closer into the water, leaning a bit further over than was prudent. Just as she realised that she was nearly at the point of no return balancewise, she felt a sharp nudge to her rear, and shot headfirst into the lake. Spluttering and gasping, she clawed her way to the surface, and then to the shore.
Glaring at Mersk, she clambered out, soaked and mock furious. ~*You know what Mersk*~ she said ~*I am going to have you made into boots*~ The Sport looked at her from the corner of her eyes. **You don't love me? You will wear me?** She looked at her handler beseechingly, causing Mergae to throw her arms around her neck, ~*You know I love you silly!*~ She was going to add more, when the Wher raised her head. **We are to go to Ryssia....** The Wher turned, flicking her tail at her handler, and walked off towards the training grounds. Mergae, narrowly missing being flattened by the tail of her friend, jogged to catch up.
Reaching the training ground, Mergae watched as Mersk ran to her mother, a purring trill rising from her throat. The woman turned to Ryssia, smiling. "So, the training starts then! This should be fun indeed!"

Ryssia smiled warmly at Caldrin as he approached with a not so little bronze Cask following in his wake. It was rather amazing to see the change in the young wher in just six months.

When Caldrin called her Lady Ryssia she tried not to wince, she knew the boy was being respectful but it still struck her as rather odd to be called that. Instead she just smiled wider and answered him, "Rysk is doing lovely, she's enjoying the warm sun today mumbling on and on about why she just can't understand how the wher's from the old world didn't know what they were missing."

Hearing herself being talked about Rysk opened one eye from her midafternoon snooze and saw her bronze son and His standing next to Ryssia. *~Good afternoon Cask~* she sent before closing her eye again.

Rysk wasn't to get any more of her nap however because shortly after the arrival of Cask, Mersk trotted into the training ring. Having spent a bit more time with her sport daughter because of the friendship their handlers shared she was as surprised by her growth but it was still good to see her. Giving one huge stretch Rysk finally decided to get up off the ground and greet the wherlings as they arrived.

Ryssia, though not surprised to see Mersk, was rather baffled by the sport female. There was just something about her that was different. Only after staring at her for a few moments did she notice it, Mersk's black that had started on her muzzle was starting to spread just like Rysk's had!

She was about to say something to that effect to Mergae but when she turned to face the woman she burst out laughing. Before she could stop herself she asked through her laughing fits, "Did Mersk push you in the lake again Mergae?" Then, trying very hard to get controll of herself she asked a bit more calmly, "I thought you said you two had agreed that pushing you in the lake was not a good thing."

She finally had herself under control again but she couldn't wipe the smile off her face. Mersk was deffinately turning out to be just like her mother.

Cask hummed quietly to Rysk as he watched her. ~*Good afternoon to you too, Rysk.*~ He sent back.

Caldrin grinned foolishly, then blushed when he realized what he was doing.

Mergae looked down at herself and grinned at Ryssia. "Should have gotten changed first huh!? Yes, Mersk pushed me in the lake again" She looked at the Sport, who was nuzzling at her mother. "We HAD agreed to stop it, but as you can see, the horror decided that an occasional push is good.... She is a sharding nuisance, and deserves to be made into Wherhide!" she glanced at the Wher, who wasn't listening. "Between you and me, I think it's funny, but don't tell HER that! She will do it more often then, once in a while I can deal with......" Looking over at Mersk, she paused a moment. "She is certainly growing well! How long do you think it wil be till they stop?"

OOC: What school of thought are we from regarding Wher sizes?

ooc: well considering you mentioned Mergae 'narrowly missed being flattened' by Mersk's tail and they're only 6 months old i think the size of the original dragons fits. after all that's what they were created to be right?

IC: Ryssia regarded the wherlings closely for a minute or so before she answered Mergae's question about their growth. "Well Rysk was supposed to be gold and it took her nearly two years before she stopped growing. Since Mersk I'm guessing is supposed to be a green I'd say she'll be done in about a year or so." Then turning to Caldrin who was listening rather intently Ryssia added, "And since Cask is a big healthy bronze he will probably stop growing at about the same time Rysk did, two years."

Looking around quickly Ryssia saw that Caldrin and Mergae were still the only two present for the lesson. She was getting a bit impatient but reminded herself that Tanil at least was probably out hunting and would be late.

As if to prove her wrong Tanil and Tanisk came strolling into the training ring right then and Tanisk trotted over to where his siblings and dam were calling out, *~Afternoon!~* to all of them. The blue nuzzled at his mother and then made to pounce on Mersk.

Tanil smiled at Caldrin and noted that not only was the boy's wher growing like a weed but so was he. Then he turned his attention to the two women and stifled a laugh, hiding his smile behind a quickly raised hand. Taking a deep breath he then asked conversationally, "Mersk imposed bathing has resumed has it Mergae?" All the apprentice wher handlers knew about Mersk's playful streak and all were greatful that none of their wherlings were quite so bold, Tanil included.

Mergae smiled at Ryssia, "Well, as long as she doesn't get too big.....any bigger and I will be catapulted across the lake when she pushes me, not IN" she giggled, "I swear, I went a good half Wherlength further than I usually do!" she looked at the others. "Oh, and does anyone here know what is IN that lake? It was too bigh to be fish............." She shrugged and reached for the skin with the klah in. "I am getting cold now" she said, "But then, I am getting used to it!" She sat on a log and called Mersk to her ~*Come keep me warm you nuisance!*~ The Sport ambled over to her and curled round, almost grinning **I will keep you warm, till next time**
Mergae grinned at Tanil as he appeared and spoke "Yes, they have, and she is stronger now! I will be flying soon if she continues!" She took a sip of her klah. "So, before everyone gets here, how have your Whers been?" she asked the others. "And you of course!"

Caldrin paused at the question about the lake. He wasn't sure..but he and Cask had seen something wierd there the other day. "I've been fine. Cask has too. He's braver everyday..most of the time. We saw something odd in the Lake the other day."
