Madiquel nodded slightly, looking down at their linked hands as she considered his words. “That’s what Papa said,” she admitted, “And R’nya agreed. And I understand, but I’m still really sorry I wasn’t there.” She looked up again, eyebrows furrowed, before turning her attention to the firelizards as they dropped down, with Clover landing lightly on Madiquel’s shoulder furthest from TayTay, and watching him cheerfully; she chittered conversationally at him, before burrowing into Madiquel’s hair - she’d opted to wear it loose that day, with just a small amount pulled back at the crown of her head to keep it from her eyes.
A little giggle was brought forth at A’tay’s obvious astonishment at her Papa’s praise, and Madiquel grinned. “Promise!” She said, knowing she’d never make an arbitrary promise to her best friend; she always kept her promises, and never gave them willynilly. “You couldn’t,” Madiquel said seriously, smiling warmly up at A’tay. She couldn’t think of any way that TayTay could possibly disappoint her, and she bumped against him, tilting her head against his shoulder even as she grinned up at Xyxyth.
“Reach for the stars,” Madiquel grinned, knowing that if anyone could achieve such a high goal, it would be TayTay and Xyxyth! She did laugh at the idea of being a Master Healer, unsure if Verec was that open to ranking the women. Besides, even if she could attain master ship, that would be like, sooo many turns away! “Delegation, my dear!” Madiquel said playfully, holding up her free hand and wagging her pointer finger as she mimicked on of her teachers, giggling mischievously. “I’ll patch your paper cuts and we can sip wine and leave the journeymen and Second to deal with the rest of the Weyr!”
Still giggling at the idea, Madiquel gave A’tay’s hand a light squeeze to get his attention. “What did you want to do first?” She asked, bouncing lightly on the balls of her feet. “There are some really interesting stalls up, and I want to dance!” Holding their joined hands up, Madiquel twirled under them, until she had her back against A’tay, beaming up at him excitedly.
