Well at least he wasn't one of those that dithered getting through the door. That was something at least. And it appeared he didn't beat about the bush, getting right to the point. "Well then," Nayari

Oh, how she loved her crafting time. Not only did it mean time with her father but Ysolde adored the intricate, precise handling that jewelcrafting required. It suited her perfectionist nature. She

"Hah. Lets make a punishment room for them filled with boxes containing Faranth only knows what. Expired numbweed in mysterious jars. Suspiciously stained sheets." Sure, a good amount of them pulled

"Okay." And this time Cremsden at least appeared to accept that. "Well. If it was literally just now you've probably jarred it, and you've likely got some bruising." He moved to the cupboards, habit

"I.... What was that?" Her eyes widened with fear, her heart beat quickening.

She understood his point and while she would always resist any kind of transfer away from the Weyr, she had always known it was a possibility. She put some thought into what he was asking her, "I

"I understand, and I'm telling you it wasn't a flight," Z"go insisted. He let out a frustrated sigh, "It was what I told you, the second thing. Little harper bitch body slammed me," which admitted

"It's not a matter of not being too far behind, it's a matter of making sure you're entirely up to date in all areas," Cremsden said, already flicking through her notes. "Weyr gives you practical

Cremsden raised his hands in placation. "Hey, look, you turn up five minutes after a drunken fight and are demonstrably not drunk, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask," he said patiently. "This

Aruithil took a file from the desk and did as she was told, shooing the two firelizards away. As soon as Myri caught sight of what she was doing she took off and flew at the flits on the chair,

Kassia left her guard outside. She doubted that Delysia was about to jump on her and didn't want to disturb the Queen any more than she had to. "Hey, how are you doing?" Kassia called as she entered.

Z'go stared at Cremsden, "I just told you what happened. No, I wasn't fecked too hard, I was only fecked over. I'm not lying!" He was starting to get annoyed. First this happens, then those brats,

Leodred stared at M'ayen in disbelief. Was he serious? He wanted to complain but one look at the old timer and he knew there was no point. The teenager had learned quick that most adults didn't let

"Exploring? Exploring!?" Leodred repeated the word, incredulous of her answer after his experience. He gave her a quick look over--if there was something down there she was going to get eaten for

Kassia was in luck as both Razelth and Delysia were in the Caverns. Delysia had moved some of her things into the small attached living quarters, so that she could spend the majority of her time split

"I was -- oh, I was, wasn't I?" Cremsden said reflectively. "Bought you that awful pink drink." It was the same kind of thing Megin seemed to like so he had figured it would be a hit for a teenage

Foreth snorted and lashed her tail. A sure sign of displeasure? (Th most beautiful that you 'have talked to'? No. I'm the most beautiful on Pern.)) She drew herself up self-importantly. ((But yes,

Brooding a clutch was hard on any Queen, let alone a young, inexperienced one. Kassia made sure that Foreth was kept far from the Caverns to keep her from disturbing the young Queen, even if she was

Kassia whirled on Nayari, her eyes still blazing. If she'd been a dragon, they would have been a deep red. "Your Candidate assaulted me and keeps calling me a thief." She turned back to the girl.

Cremsden eyed him a moment and then sighed. "Z'go. If that's-- if you had a bad flight the injury will be in a different place," he said, tone still very steady and matter-of-fact. "And we can deal
