"Clutching," Trifali repeated, exchanging a look with Andreya. Only now did she step back, letting her stubbornness slide away. "I wouldn't wish to disturb them," she said, regretfully.

"Perhaps," Trifali said, drawing out the word. She turned to the guard. "She is okay, right, though? Both she and Foreth?"

"Fine," came back Fali's response before she stepped up to the male dragons. She bowed, feeling they deserved respect. "We're searching for the Weyrwoman, boys. she missed her own party. Might we go i

"Someone had to," was Trifali's response. She proffered Andreya a small smile. "We'll either find all is well, or she's half naked, according to Kashara."

"It's a plan, then," Fali said, ignoring the other girl's sarcasm. They began to walk, covering ground in almost perfect pace, though Kashara looked unhappy with Trifali.

Trifali made a noncommittal noise in the back of her throat and walked briskly towards her goal. If the Weyrwoman wasn't at her own part, she reasoned, she was with her gold. Unashamedly, she moved in

"I'm going," she said, determination of steel carving her face into a determined mask as she rose and began to walk away. "Come if you like, stay if you like. Up to you."

"I'd say Impressing, but doesn't everyone? I suppose I'm simply wishing to get to know my family, *our* family, and build from there." She toyed with a bit of cake on her plate. Almost a quarter candl

"Oh yes," she said, smiling. "It's definitely a learning experience working with Kassia. But no unenjoyable."

"Are you alright?" Fali returned, before answering, "I enjoy it. It makes me feel like I have a purpose, like I'm useful. I've made friends and family here."

She hated to admit it, but- "Yes, let's do that. We can get to know one another better." She gave her real smile, one that reached all the way to her gray eyes.

"A bit overwhelmed," she found herself mentioning as she found a seat and gestured to Kashara to sit. "There's so much excitement in the air I think I mihgt choak. And really, Lady Kassia should be he

"I am," she answered, killing two questions with one response. Her forehead creased, however, as she asked, "Have you seen Weyrwoman Kassia yet? I would have thought she'd have been here by now."

Trifali had expected the Weyrwoman to show up. After all, it was her birthday, too, as well as Sarati's. She enjoyed the food and avoided the drink, though she nearly ran down a concerned-looking youn

Nyzara read her voice, heard the honesty, nodded. A hand reached out, while the other stroked Flare. "I'm greatful for your time with me and the silly questions you've answered. I truly appreciate it,

"What's the best method to make sure she doesn't hide this clutch?" Nyzara queried, her face open, her eyes honest. She wanted, and wondered, if they'd ever be more than at delicate odd with one anoth

OOC Can you repost this in full, it is being difficult with my screenreader. Thanks!

"Will do," she said without a second thought. Kassia was family, after all.

"You speak from experience? About the cliffface, I mean." One hand stroked the gravid gold as she awaited the reserved woman's answer. It still bothered her that she had failed; no one had said as muc

The Mindhealer actually blushed. A hand rose to stroke the gold as she admitted, "She was found nesting with the silliest items in my office the other morning."
