STATS
Name: Iris at Water's Edge
Age: 93
Gender: Female
Description: a fair-skinned half-elf with long, blond hair and purple eyes. Iris is often likened to a doll because of her classical features. She has blond hair and magenta eyes. She enjoys feminine clothes in pastel colours (purplebeing her favourite) and often uses a walking stick as it's handy to get to hard to reach places.
Personality:  Practical, Quirky and Precise. Iris lives for charts, records and schedules. She likes to keep everything in neat little lists and is very good at doing calculations and setting up estimates. In her free time she likes to kick back and organise her drawers, closets and she has been known to volunteer to do the same for others.
Family/Bio: Iris grew up in a swamp area, where keeping your belongings in order was just the normal thing to do. You never knew when you might need to get out quickly because of an uncoming flood. She lived with her parents and siblings until she went to study and then later found employment at a new, high and dry, settlement.
Pets: A songbird named Minuet.  
Drak: Earth-Green Terosth

STORY
Iris wiped a damp cloth across the shelf, humming to herself. She put back the containers of reserves and then started on the next shelf. Three down, five to go with bulkier items on the lower shelves, but those would take less time to move down then all the individual jars. Each time she put items back, she checked their best-before dates and made a note of that on the list hanging next to the shelves; That way the cooks would know which items to use first.
Although.... Iris sighed, one item always got neglected. There was nothing wrong with the cabbage in vinegar but it seemed the cook didn't care for it. Iris took the jars nearing the end date and made a note to distribuate them to some of the people in WindChill who liked to cook.
The half-elf mentally went over the plan for the coming evening. She'd bring home some food from work since the cook always made too much when there was a meeting with all the High Knights. Then she'd tidy up the bathroom cupboard to unwind and snuggle in bed with a story.
Before she could finish her task howeber, she was interrupted.
"Excuse me iris, could I have a word?" Sunsparkle queried.
Iris wiped her hands and put away the small bucket with water and soap so no-one would trip over it.
"Of course." she replied.
Iris followed the High Prince to his office and wondered what would be discussed now that couldn't wait until the meeting later tonight. Sunsparkle must have guessed her thoughts because he explained quickly:
"I wanted to do this in private so you wouldn't be pressured. How would you feel about heading out to pair?"
"Is there a clutch you think is interesting?"
Living at WindChill, she'd always known this talk would come. But she hadn't expected it quite yet.
"It's not on Icarus nor over at IceHearth. A mating occured between a male drak and a female imperial court dragon. The Court dragons are a special breed of dragon which means they could be an asset to bring into the Castle.
Iris agreed.
"I'll go. When am I expected to leave?"
"I thought it best to warn you well in advance so you can make preparatipons for your absence."
"Thank you." Iris smiled, her mind already making a list of what she needed to do.

MIND PAIRING
Iris had expected the draklings to be presented as she was used to. But apparently the Imperial Court Genes of the mother made for a different scenario. The draklings needed to bond immediately after hatching and could not be educated by their mother first. But apparently that was not a problem as the hatchlings would be able to communicate telepathically with their knights.
The first egg hatched and a peculiar drakling appeared, It had the double wings, but not the fur that she associated with draks. Neither did the hatchlings have the impressive antler of her mother. Whispers told her that those traits would appear in time.
It was the very last drakling that looked in her direction. The young female had a spotted beige hide, her wings were a soft emerald green and she had blue eyes that looked friendly.
"My name is Terosth." she shared

KNIGHTHOOD
"Iris! Come check it out!" Terosth called, her telepathic voice quiet but clear in her mind.
"What is it dear?" Iris asked.
"I found supplies." Terosth said proudly.
And indeed, Iris found her sitting next to a couple of jars with jam stashed in a crack in the cave wall. Was someone stealing food? It really wasn't necessary, everyone received the things they asked for. Well within reason but no-one should want for, Iris checked the labels, sweets.
"Sweets, this might be the work of children." she mused.
"What do we do?" Terosth asked, all ready to go vigilante on the thieves.
"We make a note of it and let them have the sweets.
"Is that okay?" she asked.
"As long as it doesn't become a bigger problem, they can have a little adventure stealing a few sweets. They might train important skills for the future. I did not see any signs of these being missing on my lists after all. Maybe they made these themselves? I'll go check."
"I'll keep watch." Terosth said, hiding behind the buildings.
"Let me know if anyone approaches."
"Will do!"
