With the two most recent additions to the green population, V’ler added two marks in the green column on the chart he had prepared for the Hatching. Indivara had tried to rush him out the door but there wasn’t a chance he’d show up without his writing tools, especially with such a large clutch. He wanted to keep track of the numbers along with the crazy events on the sands, and who Impressed. As always, V’ler sat atop Veeth for a good view and close to where the Weyrlingmaster stood waiting to collect names of dragonets and honorifics of new riders. Unlike with B’jin, V’ler was careful not to step on the toes of cranky old men or women with something to prove and stayed a careful distance from the dragonrider he wasn’t as familiar with.
Even from where he sat, V’ler could see Indivara and Ryvian and found them almost comical. They both seemed nervous, almost scared at times, but continued to smile and reassure the other. He didn’t know what was being said but it was clear they were joking around more than offering advice or soothing stress away. Their antics from day to day were enough to drive a lesser man insane but V’ler had turned all the unspoken words and drama into lyrics, using the friends as inspiration. He almost didn’t want them to acknowledge what they had or didn’t have since there was a lot of potential to milk out of them still before writing their sappy love songs that were sure to come out one day. Not that he needed them; R’nd and B’jin were providing enough to last a new song every week.
