Though her right wing ached, Harth refused to give up. They had a job to do, and they were going to do it! There was no shortage of Thread to be flamed, and she was determined to burn her share to ash.

And yet, that thought had only just crossed her mind when they found themselves with a moment to just breathe rather than flame. It wasn't much, but they'd take what they could get!
It appeared he wasn't able to push through as much as he thought. Within moments another small clump of thread blew into him and his face and neck took the brunt of the hit. "My poor baby." Laasya cooed with a grim face. Her throat ached with the tears she held back. Nusueth's hide was riddled with thread burns and a few of them were bad enough that she knew they would scar. Those were only the one's she could see. She hoped that it would be over soon so that he could be treated for his wounds.
[2. Diving after a small clump, a gust of wind suddenly pushes the Thread back into you and your dragon! Roll a D4 to see if you successfully Between (or dodge) in time!
1. Failure! Your dragon's face or neck is hit with Thread! Moderate -5 HP ]

Cynosuth reached out to him, and Aurinkoth sent her back waves of warm affection and support. My Ichta and I are here now. Please be safe up there, Cynosuth - you are also very brave. He punctuated the sentiment with another burst of supportive sunshine, then turned his attentions to the just as tired brown next to him.
He shifted so his head butted up against Menankith's, offering a small huff of a sound, like a canine, and a wave of love to the brown. But he said nothing - only exuding the mental warmth that only his boundless reserves could offer. They all were sore and tired and threadfall was so very, very stressful. When Menankith was ready, he would do as his Ichta did, and speak then.
Ichta quietly assessed the situation as she cradled Nadry against her, stroking the girl's hair and leaning her cheek against the top of her head. She didn't say anything, however. It was not the time to start squashing feelings with justifications or reasoning. It was time for Nadry to let everything out.

Even though her wing was a bit sore, it didn't stop the green from ducking quickly out of the way from strands that fell too close for her to flame - hopefully their wingmates would take care of what they could not!
Nusueth had been working hard to burn down thread and Laasya had been focused on keeping him focused, and sending encouragement. Just as she was readying to give him more firestone to chew on her hand hit bottom. Their bag was empty. Laasya gasped and shook the bag as if some firestone had been able to hideout in the bag without her feeling it. "Oh no! We need more firestone!" She told Nusueth.
The blue dragon relayed their need to his fellow riders and weyrling's in the hopes they could replenish the bag quickly.
[4. You're low on firestone! If you've already replenished recently (within the last 5 posts) you may choose to skip this roll and just do a general post for no XP. OR you can keep it and blame it on a faulty bag, or some other excuse for being without stone. Call for one of the weyrlings to send you another sack of stone! [Flag down a weyrling! Post this code in your next post and see if a weyrling can get to you!
I Need Some Firestone!
A weyrling can quote you and roll from the Weyrling Table to see what happens! If there are no PC weyrlings, feel free to play a semi-retired rider helping out and play out the scene or ping staff for an NPC assist! ]

Harth and Hers felt almost guilty in the rare moments when there was nothing to be done, even knowing that they wouldn't last long. It felt wrong to be doing anything other than actively fighting.
Menankith exhaled with another deep, exhausted sigh that heaved his sides and made him acutely aware of a lingering sting in his nostrils from breathing in ash. On his list of complaints, physical or otherwise, it was hardly a significant one, though it stuck out for half a moment from the blur of the others. This was hard. It had not seemed so this morning, or even an hour ago, but now that it had caught up with him, it had done so with a vengeance. He wondered, distantly, how Aurinkoth could possibly have so much warmth left after it all.
Whe was the last time she had really cried? Nadry couldn't remember just now, but now that she'd let herself start, there wasn't any stopping it. It didn't help that she felt foolish for crying at all; she was supposed to be a rider, a defender of Pern, not a little girl who made mistakes and then cried over them. Eventually, between uneven breaths, she snuffled out, "I can't believe they broke."
With the worst possible timing in the world.

Hurricane Wing Lilah of blue Bayeth HP: 18+10=26/26 Status Effect: N/A XP: Target Accuracy: 6 Flame Length: 6 General Stamina: 7 General Agility: 6 Between Accuracy: 6 Pain Resilience: 6 Instinct: 10 Luck: 6
The wind was bad, Thread was everywhere, and this was terrible! Bayeth wheeled away from a clump that nearly blew right into them, and flamed another that threatened one of their wingmates.
Ichta continued to stroke Nadry's hair, bolstered in the constant surge of positivity that was offered through her bond. He was practically radiating the good energy between his rider and his brother. Maybe if he packed enough goodness into Menankith's brain, it would help him and his both feel better! Oh! That was a good idea. She looked again at the straps as Nadry mentioned them through sobs. Then, she found herself looking idly towards Aurinkoth's. She'd have to check them out when they'd both gotten some sleep.
What did she say to that, exactly? She thought about it for some time, constantly looking between both dragons, then down at Nadry. She'd been up there for longer than Ichta was, certainly - which meant more stress. Rather, a lot of her stress was bypassed by the most relaxed and happy boy in the Weyr.

Bayeth was so distracted by his aching tongue that he almost failed to notice Thread falling their way. Fortunately, his rider was paying attention for him, and he was able to get out of the way before they were struck.

You are such a good brother, Aurinkoth, Cynosuth told her dear Blue Sun! Please, keep each other safe. I love you both. Two of her most important boys! She needed them to recover, and to be good to one another. Nusueth needs firestone! she told Dr'stan, and they prepared to toss the extra firestone bag to the older pair. However, everything possible went wrong!
Ouch! Dr'stan hissed, when his back was thrown by a poor toss. As before, the firestone bag fell uselessly toward Pern. Oh no! I... I did it again! But... let's try, one more time! Faranth, she was terrible at this! Circling around, they tossed the second bag, and then sheepishly trailed down to recover more firestone. Ow.
HURRICANE WING QUEEN'S WING Efrideet of White Asuracath [18] [20] [15] [] [] HP: 12/15 Status Effect:
XP: Target Accuracy: 6 (+5) Flame Length: 6 (+1) General Stamina: 6 (+1) General Agility: 6 (+1) Between Accuracy: 6 Pain Resilience: 9 Instinct: 8 Luck: 6 (+2)
Asuracath did as Asuracath would and burned the menace from the sky--only to have it blown back in her face. Efrideet threw a hand up to protect her own, but it still stung as it splat against her skin.
