Visiting injured and recovering riders was part of the duties of a
gold rider, but when Nykantiath had suggested that Andronda make a
point of visiting a very specific rider, and that maybe she should
make sure she was dressed *nicely*, it made Andronda a tad bit
suspicious. Of course the gold feigned innocence in the matter,
saying that it simply made the riders in question feel more important
if she herself looked a bit more impressive, and as for why *this*
rider in particular, well, she had just been talking to his dragon and
it had seemed a good idea and that was all. So while she wasn't
dressed in her Gather best, she was dressed nicely, in a yellow and
red sari, with a little bit of jewelry as well.
And it wasn't like Andronda could really argue with Nykantiath about
checking in on this particular rider, either, because she actually did
recognize the rider in the images sent to her. She couldn't expect to
know every rider in the Weyr, but when one ended up with so severe an
injury as to lose a leg, those ones tended to stick in one's mind, and
she was curious to see how he was healing, and faring in general.
So she showed up to the Infirmary, guard in tow at a discreet
distance, and asked around to find Zy'fen. A healer apprentice
directed her towards a room set up for physical therapy, where another
healer, and the rider in question, were in the middle of some
exercises. Andronda stood off to the side politely, not wanting to
interrupt while the healer was working with Zy'fen.
