Jajojin’s silence worried Madiquel, because she was afraid that his answer would be the negative; that he didn’t think she’d make a good Healer or because he wouldn’t approve of a girl being a healer – even if they sometimes were – and she just knew she couldn’t do it if he didn’t approve. Madiquel would never do anything her Papa didn’t approve of, and if he said no, well, he would have a good reason for it and she would accept it. After all, Papa only did what was best for her, and she loved him too much to hurt him by being difficult.
When he smiled and she could see it in his eyes, and he said yes, Madiquel’s expression burst into life, her face lighting up and a wide smile claiming her face, teeth flashing in the soft light of the glows as she threw herself forward (as opposed to the relaxed slump she was in) and wrapped her arms gleefully around her Papa’s neck. “Thank you!” she said, almost sobbing as she cried again, but this time she was happy! She was going to be useful to the Weyr. She was going to be useful to her Papa, and she was going to be helping her friends. She’d be a meaningful member of the Weyr and would never have to Impress a dragon!
Sniffling, Madiquel leaned back slightly and then up, placing a loving kiss on her Papa’s cheek and beaming at him as she curled against his chest once more. She really didn’t want to ever leave her Papa, but she would worry about that later. Maybe she could train Clover to stay with him, if out of the way, and report back to her if he needed her. She could teach her an emergency signal! That way if Papa started to fall into a Bad Day, Clover could let her know and she could come home and help him! Glancing down, Madiquel smiled at the sleeping green lump on her own lap. She’d just have to figure out how to do it.
