Birdy's Bulletin - B'kit - 19.Mar.20
741.03.05
D’hys and Zeianth visited the other day. It was unexpected and nice of them to check up on us. With everything that’s been going on lately, I’d almost managed to put the whole episode in the bowl out of mind. Zeianth was extraordinarily patient with Re as he showed off his gliding after some initial shyness around the older blue.
I told D’hys a little about what’s been going on with Re, but didn’t feel the need to share everything. I don’t know him that well and besides, I really do hope things are starting to resolve. Re’s appetite is greatly improved, and he tries so hard in all our lessons.

We finally had our first chance for a pony ride today and I can’t stop smiling! I know the others have already snuck rides but I don’t care. Re was so annoyed with me, and with the Weyrlingmaster for checking him over so minutely. He actually bluntly announced to everyone that he wouldn’t break and we should all quit fretting.
They only let us ride around for a few minutes, but we should be able to try again tomorrow. I don’t know who’s happier—me, or Erebuth. I can’t wait to try again!

I still can’t believe Parella is dead. Re is practically inconsolable with all the chaos and tragedy around the Weyrs, and he’s become fiercely protective of me and of J’shom, especially after what happened to B’jin. He hasn’t been this suspicious of everyone since weyrlinghood, but instead of timid and shy he’s become snappish. Naturally that upsets Sio, who sees it just as more confirmation that all males--and especially blues--are awful. Needless to say, things are tense around here.
We weren’t allowed to try going back to Ista yet, since the healers are still too busy with everything else going on to babysit a crippled attempt to get high enough to go between without further injuries. I don’t know who’s more frustrated--me, or Erebuth. He’s starting to talk about learning to climb the face of the Bowl to prove he can--and I can’t quite blame him. It’s maddening to be grounded like this.
Still, I’ve been able to visit with R’dal, and with M’quel and Zezeth here it’s almost like home. An awful version of home where nothing makes sense anymore.
