Crowds weren't that unusual for parties. The more people milling around the party, the harder it was to avoid bumping into someone. Miacca was more impressed that she'd woven through the crowd and

After the announcement that Foreth was clutching, Miacca had seen uncle leaving the party. She'd went after him to find out where he'd been heading, only to find out that he was returning to the

Heersofali, who had heard the send as well, was just as excited and bounced on his feet. "That's amazing! Wasn't this done once before, Turns ago? I don't remember it myself, but I've heard about it.

Kashara smiled. She could recognize that shell shocked look anywhere. A new Candidate who had never been outside the Hold or Hall, she'd put a bet on it. "If you've never seen it, it can seem weird,"

Kashara had returned to the party after doing her duty to have something to keep her mind off of the Clutching. Then the news came back. "I knew there was one gold egg, but not two," she said.

Ronhim watched the staff setting up the tables and fetching food at the party with an odd expression. Till very recently that would have been him, only it would have been happening at Arolos Hold than

Well, Arolos Weyr certainly seemed to like it's parties! Ronhim had not been here for very long and had seen the hatching feast which had been a grand affair and now this. It rather made the young

"I'm Rennitz!" The girl introduced enthusiatically, sticking her hand out with a wide grin. "Duty to you and your bronze, of course! Oh, but I am just so excited about these gold eggs. One is exciting

((Set back on 28.6.30 just before a 2 day rest day ‘weekend’ (like a Friday before a Saturday/Sunday) So this is backdated to a ways *before* Foreth has laid her twin gold clutch.)) It was finally

"Still not as cold as Northern Weyrs. Most days, the water's really nice." K'sway answered, grinned at her. "If you wanted to go for a swim, you should have told me. I'd have brought towels." Oh so

Calyse spent the majority of her time in the Infirmary, her home away from home. There was always work to be done, and though it often wasn't the most exciting, that suited her just fine. Excitement

Calyse quickly took the offered hand, using his help to pull herself back to standing. She couldn't have been more drenched without diving in headfirst, ugly uniform clinging to her skin and dripping.

"I'll thee what I can do." K'sway started to promise. "If you don't Impress, I'll-" he started to add, but then Sixanth sneezed, and Calyse yelped. "Hang on!" He called, splashed quickly around to

V'drare's lips twitched as he watched the poor sod in question wipe at himself. His attention turned to the Candidate and he smiled down at her, eyes warm with the news. "Yes, yes, it was.... I don't

Rennitz promptly spat out her drink on the poor sod she'd been talking to at Truenoth's announcement. First of all, Foreth had clutched?! Second of all there was a GOLD egg?!? Third of all, there were

Truenoth was absolutely beside himself with joy over the clutching of a second golden daughter. His relief in seeing Foreth lay her egg compounded that mirth. He bugled loudly and could not refrain

"Thank you." D'cul at least had the grace to select a seat a distance from the woman that was both not too close and not too far away as to seem as though he were avoiding touching her. "How are you?

"All right then." R'tal leaned back in his chair. Despite his best efforts to hide it there was still something in his expression between sympathy and pity. Everyone knew that it just took one bad

R'tal dropped his voice to a murmur now, hooking his chair slightly closer to the table. "Foreth is Clutching. She got called at the last minute."-- Blackadder: I mean, what about the people that do

Andronda blinked, confused. "Kassia isn't here? But it's her party!" She honestly hadn't noticed it until R'tal had pointed it out. Andronda had just assumed that she hadn't spotted the
