Dragon Infirmary, Fort Weyr(#241RJs$)


Linked to a number of ground weyrs and the main Infirmary, this central cavern is roughly oval in shape and large enough to accommodate two or three smaller dragons if need be. A set of wide double doors lead out into the bowl and are rarely locked, in-case of emergency. Its white-washed walls hold several outcroppings for glows, focused around the main counter at the left of the room and the two beds set far enough apart for dragons to settle into the wallow-like dips between them. Equipment is stored in the (locked) cabinets behind the counter and the glass-covered shelving units carved into the wall, wide and deep enough to hold the necessary quantities to treat injuries of a larger scale.

Leaning forward, E'ten might be conducting what is a through examination of the steadily healing hindleg belonging to a bronze dragon that may seem.. bored. Or at the very least, self-assured that all will be and is quite well. « I am fine. E'ten. It is not like she meant to hurt me. It turned out for the best. » With that, the rider can only pause and lean back with a look settled towards one gently swirling eye. "I think she meant to make it sting. And, I know you're fine. We both are. It's probably better this way," he says, giving the forearm a fond slap along the edge as he turns for his riding jacket.

Lilah can be quiet when she wants, perhaps having learned the trait during her tenure as a drudge and wishing to slip through the nooks and cranies of Fort Weyr unheard. When she speaks, it's from the entrance that connects this weyr to the rest of the infirmary, her question a curious, "Better injured, or better losers?" She has a jar in hand, a spot of turquoise-hued clay against the drab grey of her Dice uniform that blends her into the surrounding around her, if it weren't for the lick of flames that constitute red-gold hair, catching on any available light. "The healers though you might need numbweed. I brought it to you for them." She moves, straightening away from the curve of the entrance to draw closer to the bronze dragon and E'ten by default. "How is he?"


Still resting with one hand against Adiulth's hide, E'ten looks over one shoulder towards the direction of the infirmary with an amused shrug. "Depends on who you ask, I think. Some think being injured explains why Adiulth didn't win. Others thinks it's better to lose in such a fashion, when it was so close." What he thinks is aptly not mentioned. "But thanks," he says beckoning her closer while the bronze lowers his head to take a look at the approaching girl. "I'll keep it until it itches again and the lump of dragon here.." « I am not. » "Tells me that he needs to be slathered. Adiulth is in good spirits though. He's not one to hold grudges for days on end. There have been some dragons like that though."

"Adiulth," greets Lilah, a show of deference for the beast that she's hardly ever shown for any man, and she draws close with more curiosity for the wounds displayed against bronze hide than fear of the dragon. She holds out the jar as an excuse for being so near, but her gaze drifts towards Adiulth's healing wounds. "Is this another time that you'd rather not tell me your own opinion on the matter? Nothing to be said about barely losing a leadership flight?" Her lips curve briefly, slowly into a knowing smile, disappearing again in a moment. "You would have driven me broke if you'd won. For my own cause, I have to say it was better that you were losers."

Adiulth bobs his head in a manner of what his rider would do in the same situation before, E'ten catches the interest and gestures towards the injury where it's healing quite well. "I was a dragonhealer before becoming Hematite's wingsecond. Take a look, if you want. He won't mind," he says, stepping back before a knowing near-smirk tugs at his lips. "My opinion on the flight is, shall we say? Complicated. Although, if I would have won? Would it have caused that much of a stir," he asks, but it's not the final question as he begins to shrug into his jacket once placing the jar on the table beside him. "Are you going to tell me how the betting went between the forerunners?"

"It went how I wanted it to go. Not an accurate assessment of who the Weyr thought was going to win," Lilah admits in a murmur, her own offer of information given even as she draws closer to that injured hindleg to examine it carefully without touching it. "Did it need stitches? I imagine applying stitched to an injured dragon would be quite the task." She almost reaches out to touch the unaffected edge of the wound, the heat from her fingertips brushing against bronze hide, but she draws back quickly enough. Instead, she adds, "I stopped taking bets on N'muir and took over my line on other riders. So, I suppose I bet on him myself."


"Not too badly," E'ten remarks, jacket being straightened by both hands as he returns to his dragon with the jar taken as an afterthought. "They'll heal cleanly and from a distance? You won't be able to tell that they're there. As for the betting, I suppose that the biggest appeal was to make some marks. Still, it might give some opinion of where people were leaning." Said as he watches Lilah, he asks, "Are you interested in it? Dragonhealing, I mean."

Lilah shakes her head at the question, a casual gesture for all that it comes just slightly too quick, slightly too sharp. She dismisses lightly, "I have an interest in dragons. I've tried to impress before, but--." She lifts her fingers, flicking them in a dismissive gesture. But then she's offering a smile, a bright, warm thing that is almost flirtatious where it's turned onto E'ten. "But now that I have all of the marks, I need to figure out something to do with them. Maybe a new outfit. Faye is always getting something made from the weavercraft and--." Well, she glances briefly down to her usual outfit of the drab grey Dice uniform.

"Color will be an improvement," E'ten finishes, pausing long enough to tuck the numbweed jar under one arm as he turns towards the bowl while Adiulth remains and quite willing to be seen after. "You might.." He might have also spotted the flirtatious smile. Or close to it. Either way, the advice stands. "Want to talk to Reesa. She also has an eye for dresses. The two of you might get along rather well... or she can tell you what styles are being talked about amongst the weavers."

"I'll keep her in mind," Lilah assures him easily, that flirtatious edge sliding away as the moment passes. Instead, her gaze returns to Adiulth, even where E'ten start to move away. But she turns away quickly enough, joining E'ten towards the bowl. "Don't worry; I won't make you discuss weaver fashions with me. I have an errand to run, anyways." She moves to brush past the bronzerider, only calling back to him as she finds her own way across the bowl, "I hope Adiulth heals well."

With the possible flirtation past, E'ten relaxes unseen as he lifts a hand in farewell while the other manages the jar with a brief laugh. "I endure a lot of weaver comments sometimes. But thank you. Adiulth says the same. Clear skies to you, Lilah!"
