Startled, Erena studied the other girl with interest before nodding. "Sure."

T'rif headed back to his office, leaving her and Kashara behind. "Want to go get breakfast or something?" Kashara asked.

"I'm a bronze rider, but I don't have rank, so I'd have more time to train the beast. I'm willing to put in as much time as possible." I'des responded. "I'm interested in a wher because on too of

"No...thank you," she said, very politely, before shuffling the mass of paper into orders and exiting the barracks. Breakfast would improve her mood, or so she hoped.

S'ryll's voice turned a little hard, though it was obviously not directed at her. "Everyone else is wrong. She made the ultimate sacrifice for Pern, no matter the circumstances." He didn't offer her

"Aye, but once you get used to the new voice in your head, Weyrlinghood is just a matter of wills and exercise." N'met popped another meatroll in his mouth. "So tell me about your boy. How's he do in

"Thank you," Revai said with a nod. "And no, you wouldn't train here. You'd train at the Whercraft Hall. Tell me about yourself though. Be more specific about your life style and why you want a wher."

Unaccountably, she flushed. "Yes, sir," she answered promptly. She glanced over at her search partner who still trailed them for a moment then turned back, awaiting directions not so patiently. On Apr

Revai gestured. "Have a seat. How can I help you?" Kassia took a seat, but stayed unobtrusive as she allowed the Callamere owner take over.

Actually, T'rif would have agreed to her, but he new a few who did had a talent of finding things hidden in small places. After a quick stop he had the help of a flit to work with them. "All right,

"Fair skies, and it's a pleasure to meet you." I'des greeted, promptly, with an incline of his head. "I have a few questions about Callamere whers, if you have a moment." -- Sent from my phone!

He listened as she spoke, describing her affiliation with Tyne. A flicker of irritation, concern, and perhaps disappointment stole across his face as she told him that he had been the cause of
