Location: Dragonsfall Weyr

This was stupid. Even more stupid than going to U'kaiah would be continuing to wear a hole in the carpeting by pacing and debating going to him. Wrapping her arms around herself, Jaela walked to Calyth's couch, her feet touching the heated ledge as she instinctively reached for her lifemate.

Calyth's large head moved in her direction, nuzzling her. Jaela smiled, scratching the gold's eye ridge.

}You're worrying again...:{
**Don't I always?**

}: Yes. Rub lower...yes there! And you should talk to my mate's rider when you are worried instead of worrying _alone_.:{
**Well, see...that's sort of the problem....don't get me wrong. I am more fond of D'wrayt than I'd like to admit but I also like Kalamath's rider.**

Long silence.

**Calyth?**

}:I heard you. Rub harder....and I don't understand. Everytime you take another mate, you do this. Well, except that _non-rider_...:} Calyth's mindvoice pretty much told Jaela what she thought of _that_ particular entanglement.

Jaela laughed. **Calyth, you're a snob!**

}: I wish I knew what that meant. Rub the other eye ridge and go...you should not avoid the things you want.:{ Well, that was the best advice she'd gotten all day so what could she do but comply? Finishing her eye ridge ministrations, Jaela wrapped her sisal robe around the nightgown she'd chosen, found her fur slippers and headed for a certain bronzerider's weyr.

If she was lucky, he'd be in bed already and they could cut out the middle part....

U'kaiah sleepily opened the door and blinked at the goldrider standing there.

"You...you said to come see you. So...I did." Jaela looked up at him, smiling. Men always looked so adorable with their hair all mussy. Rather like little boys, with more fun potential...

The bronzerider blinked a couple more times before replying, "Yes, I guess I did." He opened the door for her. "Sorry, I must have fallen asleep on my couch. I... I guess I didn't expect you'd actually come."

"I could leave if you're tired..." This was stupider than she'd originally thought. This was all Calyth's fault...or her libido's...

"No no, come in." He stiffled a yawn. Now that he _finally_ got Jaela to his weyr he was not about to let her go so easily! "Would you like a glass of wine or something to eat?"

"Shards...I'm sorry, U'kaiah...go get some sleep." If she left _now_
it might preserve some of her ego. Pulling him down, she kissed his cheek. "I waited too long because I was...nervous..."

He grabbed her hand before she could turn and leave. "I have been waiting for months to find you at my door. Please, Jaela. Don't leave now."

"It's not like I _want_ to..." She squeezed his hand. "It's just that we've been dancing around this for months and I'm nervous...and I want it to be good...for both of us...and now I'm babbling..."

"Shards, now you're making _me_ nervous," U'kaiah chuckled as he pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her. "Have you never noticed?
You just have to touch me and it's good for me Jaela."

"Oh..." She smiled, closing her eyes and breathing in his scent. "In that case, I'm thinking things are going to get a _lot_ better tonight because there's a lot of places I want to touch..."
