Larnell blinked, then grinned at the quip about the chair. “Yes sir,” he said cheerfully, pulling out the seat and setting himself down as he subtly looked for knots. He had no idea if the man before him was truly a ‘sir’, but he also knew that while he had been high ranking, now he was just a Candidate and from what he understood, that was little better than being a drudge. Talk about topsy-turvy!
“Dining Halls are a great place to meet people,” Larnell said easily, shrugging one shoulder and picking at the table’s edge with a smile. “Food makes people happy, and happy people are friendlier.” Certainly friendlier than finding some Hangry person out in the weyrbowl or something! Larnell was still a bit too overwhelmed by the whole dragon thing to feel comfortable roaming around where they might land on him. He knew Ayyonth enough to be comfortable around the blue, but he was also kind of smaller than some of the others Larnell had caught sight of before.
“Do you have a dragon?” He asked boldly, his expression changing to one of pure curiosity and wonder. True, he didn’t want to be squished by one, but they were absolutely amazing creatures and while he hadn’t really been truly Searched, he did hope to Impress one in the future! Maybe a nice blue like his uncle. Since he’d finally gotten rid of the pressures that came with holding rank, he wasn’t sure he was interested in getting himself a bronze. Heh. He could only imagine how disgusted his father would be if he Impressed a ‘lowly blue’. “Oh! I’m Larnell! I was Searched today by R’nd’s dragon.” Sort of. But he’d been told to keep that to himself. “He offered to take me to… Um. The other Weyr that has a clutch. But I want to get used to the Weyr first.”
