Aicha smiled, despite her upset stomach. M'nom really did seem to be set on taking care of her. For just a moment, she wondered how he was treating the other girl that had been with them that day. And

Aicha had momentarily forgotten the cookies M'nom had brought her, but at his suggestion, she took the lid off and picked one out. Chocolate wasn't something she got to eat very often, since it was on

Aicha covered her mouth with one hand and shook her head. "Sorry, afternoon sickness, I guess." She sat back down and looked up at M'nom. "I should be okay in a minute."

Aicha smiled and shook her head, picking up the bridle and brushes as she stood up. "It will only take me a moment to put away." She thought M'nom seemed awfully chipper, and wondered about it. Then h

Aicha looked up when M'nom Spoke, and thought for a moment then nodded. "I just need to put this tack away first, okay?" She wasn't really sure she was hungry, but it would be nice to spend more time

Aicha fell quiet, unsure what else to say, and thinking about her own family. She was closest to her Pa, and it bothered her that she had to keep such a big secret. She also wondered what M'nom's brot

Aicha sighed and looked down at her hands, which were resting in her lap. Family. It all came down to that. And she was keeping a huge secret from hers. Especially her Pa. But they would never underst

Aicha shook her head, "No, it's not like anything else. At least, in my experience." Which was woefully limited. Then Aicha decided to change the subject. "You mentioned that your father lives at Call

M'nom's suggestion about going riding some time brought back Aicha's smile again. He really was being sweet, and super supportive. "Would Shepheth object to you doing that? I know it must be nothing a

"Flying?" Aicha tried not to sound afraid, "I've never done that." Riding Cade while she was pregnant was one thing, and safe enough for now. Aicha wasn't so sure about flying on a dragon. Then after

Aicha could see that asking M'nom about Shepheth made him feel the same way she did when talking about Cade, and she completely understood. He clearly loved his dragon, as she loved her runner. She'd

The one subject that could really make Aicha smile was talking about runners. And her runner, Cade, in particular. It was smart of M'nom to ask about him, and Aicha did smile as she started to talk. "

Aicha took the box and sat it on her lap, then shook her head. "Not much. I've been sleeping a little more, but not really getting sick. I think that's probably a good thing, right?"

Aicha sat the bridle and brush aside, then tucked the flower behind her ear, and patted the empty bench beside her, then smiled again. "That's really sweet. Thank you." Aicha sounded faintly surprised

Aicha had tried to go back to living life as normally as possible, though there were times when she couldn't help but fear her parent's reactions if they ever found out. And with the fear, came tears.

Have you seen Nerenth’s and his little? Eglanth asked. He might need help with training him. Karla looked up from her harness-mending and frowned. What was Eglanth talking about. But when Zari ruffled

After the Goldflight, after waking up on the beach with not only a man -who was still a stranger to her- but a woman too, Aicha had gathered her clothes and run, her whole body flaming in embarrassmen

Almira had been more than a little surprised to receive a message from Tyne -in who's care she had left both Dahlia and Pirdi- that her green had laid her first clutch. She'd gone to pick up the eggs,

Again, Nerenth listened to the words of the bronzes around him, and gave a mental chuckle. But when Nykantiath swerved close to him, he answered her with a pleased bugle. He was always ready to flirt

Zy'fen considered that. He hadn't enjoyed the pity he'd seen in the eyes of some of the weyrlings, when he appeared as a guest speaker. He shook his head. "I did consider it. I even gave the youngest
