R'lan watched Xayth as he moped upon his ledge. The blue was as depressed as his rider had ever seen him, he hadn't even bothered to complain that Scorch had sprawled out across his back. "What's eating you?" he asked as he leaned against the blue's shoulder. How many flights is it? "What?" Xayth sighed and turned his gaze to his rider. How many flights have I flown? How many lost? All of them! Even at our home weyr I lost! I can't even remember, it seems like so many. "Ah...I see." It seemed the loss of the blue-starry at Star City had taken it's final toll upon the normally irritatingly bouncy blue.

"Not every female you chase is going to like you, Xayth." he soothed, stroking the blue's shoulder. "I know that from experience." He smiled wryly. It would be nice if just one of them did... Pulling a sheet of parchment from his pocket, R'lan smiled. "I have just the thing to cheer you up, m'boy! A frenzy!" The blue lifted his head. A frenzy? No frenzies take plain old blues like me... he moped. Groaning, R'lan thrust the announcement sent to the weyr in front of Xayth's face, like he could read it himself.

"Come on, in a frenzy you're almost certain at least one female will like you! Maybe even more, you'll never know if you don't try." Spring Fling Frenzy...but it says only sky blues. "You're light enough, even my step-mom says so!" Perking up with his characteristic speed, Xayth rose and bowed so R'lan could attach his flying straps. Then to Starburst, ridermine. To the Spring Fling Frenzy!
