Lysoret, Benden Stablehand

Who: Andoran, G'rei, L'dor and Lysoret
Where: Patio and Garden, Benden Weyr
When: 4:28pm on day 4, month 7, turn 449
What: Lys teaches a young girl from the caverns how to work in the herb garden; Andoran keeps picking away at his song for Maddy and L'dor talks at length about Southern. G'rei admits that he's been thinking about taking a trip there; this gives Lysoret pause. Southern's dangerous, right?

( 'The South sounds so dangerous.' )

Who: G'rei and Lysoret
Where: Patio/Garden, Bowl, G'rei's weyr
When: 10:00pm on day 7, month 6, turn 449
What: Lysoret discovers that someone's been watching her for a while now since her arrival at Benden. Finally meeting him and finding out his identity turns into an intense encounter; through her first evening of interacting with G'rei, Lys finally gets her first taste of empowerment and the knowledge that for the first time in her life, she can make a choice about something that matters to her.

Part 4: Lys tries out G'rei's bath and discovers that he sings; the two discuss their encounter and just what it means to them both; Lysoret admits that she has feelings for him; G'rei, struggling with the concepts of dragonriders, love and Thread's imminent return, returns her sentiments despite the niggling worries that continue to eat away at him.

( A dragonrider shouldn't fall in love. It isn't wise and it isn't fair. )

Who: G'rei and Lysoret
Where: Patio/Garden, Bowl, G'rei's weyr
When: 10:00pm on day 7, month 6, turn 449
What: Lysoret discovers that someone's been watching her for a while now since her arrival at Benden. Finally meeting him and finding out his identity turns into an intense encounter; through her first evening of interacting with G'rei, Lys finally gets her first taste of empowerment and the knowledge that for the first time in her life, she can make a choice about something that matters to her.

Part 3: G'rei and Lysoret share an evening that is, without a doubt, far more considerate than what she would have gone through after a marriage at Benden Hold.

(NB: I usually don't fully roleplay sex scenes, but made an exception for this particular situation as it caused a crucial part of the character's development to occur. She realizes while they're sharing this experience together that she doesn't have to settle for the sexist world that's outside of the weyr; despite the fact that she's been content in her station and brought up to be the quiet, humble woman that would make a good holder's wife, she now knows that it doesn't have to end up like that, that she can make her own decisions when it comes to things that are important to her. Through this physical and emotional act, she finally finds empowerment and discovers what it means to be able to go after what she wants and to simply be who she is without being oppressed and downtrodden and forced to conform to their society.)

( This is more than possession, more than a forced marriage could ever hope to achieve. )

Finally meeting him and finding out his identity turns into an intense encounter; through her first evening of interacting with G'rei, Lys finally gets her first taste of empowerment and the knowledge that for the first time in her life, she can make a choice about something that matters to her.

Part 2: Lysoret and G'rei's conversation turn toward their respective lives; they contemplate on the differences between them, how he's aware of the world and she isn't; Lys gets nervous being in a dragonrider's weyr, especially as she comes to the conclusion that he's rather nice, kind and attractive; G'rei bestows upon the holdbred girl her first kiss and admits that life as a dragonrider can get lonely. Impulsively deciding to attach herself to him, if only for the evening, Lysoret permits him to take her to his bed that night in the hopes of becoming somewhat less ignorant of the ways of the world.

Since this actually took G'rei and me roughly a week to scene, I've split the log into its relative parts. Here, Lys meets G'rei in the garden, gets introduced to his really-big-friend Eoleth and they opt for continuing their conversation and discussing history (right) in his weyr.

( 'I'm sure you're even blushing right now. You can, it's a normal reaction to a strange man interrupting your evening. I'm G'rei.' )

Where: Southern Bowl, Benden Weyr
When: 3:47pm on day 2, month 6, turn 449
What: Lys officially exchanges introductions with L'dor; brief discussion of the feline incident during the Southern Venture occurs.

( 'You work at the feeding grounds, don't you? With the animals?' )
