Zoorita, female, 5’8”, 120 with a skinny build, big hands. Aged 20 turns. Her brother Ratar and she have red tan skin, very black hair and green eyes.

Both of them keep their hair short and fuzzy on top, and long and straight on the back (a classic pair of Mullets!). Zoorita was sent to the Healer Hall to learn the basics of healing when she was found to have a talent for caring for people with animal bites or other inflicted injuries. She has a Journeyman status in the craft, but does not plan to continue it. She is very deft with bandages, knives and the like, and enjoys both delivering and relieving pain. She often jokes that her brother is far better looking than other Hold boys, and hence she has started most of the rumors of their being intimate. She gossips like nobody’s business, and for that reason she often gets into the back rooms at Holder parties to chat with this Lady or that. Because she has craft training she is of a higher social rank than her brother, but she would never consider going anywhere with out him. She enjoys wearing stylish clothing but rather than dresses she prefers layers of leggings and skirts.

( from the hatching )

The last four remaining eggs had decided they'd waited long enough and cracked in rapid chorus. A blue was the first one out. He was smaller than the other blue had been and darker in color. He was followed by a third brown the largest hatched yet. The two headed together to a small group of female candidates.

The blue snapped at his brown brother shooing him away from the direction of his own chosen as he nudged Rynesso out of the line. "Sheesh, Samath , I wasn't going to go with him. I knew you wanted me."

The brown had found his match as well in the dark skinned journeywoman healer, Zoorita . "Just wait until my brother sees you, Tinenth," she exclaimed. "It's too bad you aren't a girl. I could have caused quite a stir then. No, no, I'm not disappointed you're a boy."

They did cause a bit of a stir, though. The friendly dragon got himself into trouble pretty regularly, but only because he was trying to be helpful. In almost any way he could - which often enough meant by 'helping' hunters or showing up at Searches. He was not a search dragon.

Will you let me at least look at their choices?

"Let you? Tinenth, you've already seen their choices. How about this: tell me why they chose those boys." Zoorita shrugged and breathed a sorry or apology to the search riders as they shook their heads and laughed.

Well that one is strong, his family has lots of sons so his farm will not go untended. The other... I don't know. I don't understand why they chose the servant but not his lord.

"Because his lord would not have made a good rider, he's too head strong, he's too lofty. The servant is used to work, taking orders, that kind of thing."

He will make a good green rider, perhaps blue.

"And there's your answer, ya' loaf."

Oooh is there bread?
