Mizeath chirped with her excitement. Casa may be much easier to train than Ameris was proving! The little gold regarded the young girl with blue tinted eyes, That was wonderful, Casa! I told you it was a simple matter. Her next question confused the dragonet sightly. It was a good question though and she gazed quizzically at her rider. It didn't take the woman long to catch the hint and she chuckled quietly, "It would seem that you have given Mizeath a question she can't answer." It was rather entertaining the fact the gold couldn't answer that particular question and her rough and ready rider could.
"No," she answered, "only men pull out the chair for the women. We wait patiently until they do and then we sit." Ameris felt for the girl, she really did. And she understood what it was like not having a mother around to teach her the things she needed to know. Ameris had spent much of her life learning by trial and error and making observations around the gently bred ladies of the weyr. Not that it had helped all that much.
Now.. How do you walk, Casa? the gold asked of the girl, Do you take huge leaping strides? Mizeath hadn't needed to teach Ameris how to walk properly, the woman had already walked with smooth graceful steps instead of the galloping strides of some of the boys. Ameris glanced at the girl expectantly, waiting for her to demonstrate how she walked.
"No," she answered, "only men pull out the chair for the women. We wait patiently until they do and then we sit." Ameris felt for the girl, she really did. And she understood what it was like not having a mother around to teach her the things she needed to know. Ameris had spent much of her life learning by trial and error and making observations around the gently bred ladies of the weyr. Not that it had helped all that much.
