Madiquel laughed happily as A’tay turned around, pulling her into a hug. She clung to him tightly for a few moments, loosening her arms when he moved back but not removing her hands from his waist. She giggled as he kept staring, apparently convinced she was about to vanish between like one of their firelizards. “The Weyrleaders brought me!” she grinned, eyes bright. The pair had some sort of duty reason related to their actual trip, though Madiquel had learned not too long ago that all she had to do was ask, and they would find a time that was agreeable to bring her to Ista; problem was, as much as she loved seeing Ayontay, she hated being a nuisance.
Turning her head in the direction A’tay waved to indicate his dragon, Madiquel blinked and then turned back to grin up at her friend – best friend! – and tilted her head slightly. “Are you busy?” She asked, peering around him at the splattering of Weyrlings that were in the room. It didn’t look like they’d been doing anything important, but what did she know of Weyrlinghood? Still grinning, she leaned up on her toes to whisper by A’tay’s ear, though her words were filled with excitement and her whisper wasn’t as quiet as her motions would have believed it to be. “I have news!” She dropped back down to her feet, and continued to beam.
Madiquel knew she hadn’t mentioned her desire to be a Healer since a few letters after Ayontay had Impressed to Xyxyth; the more real that it go, the less she had wanted to mention it because what if talking about it made it stop or… something? But now that it was literally just days before she started her apprenticeship, Madiquel felt it was the perfect time to tell her friend all about it. Besides, she needed someone to gush to about it! Her Papa and Rhaedalyn were both proud and happy for her, but she knew moving to the Hall kind of made them sad, because she wouldn’t be around for them – and that made Madiquel sad, too.
