While Mizeath lulled in the attention of Torath, Ameris had spent the last several days studiously avoiding both N'kal and R'nya. She was still mortified that she had called poor N'kal by another's name and she was certain that it had gotten to R'nya some how. She wasn't quite sure what to make of the entire situation and her embarrassment would be far greater than it was, if R'nya knew about her dragon sized faux pas. Mizeath of course found the entire situation highly entertaining and had often teased her rider unmercifully about it since it happened.
Ameris could feel her face grow warm at the thought of it as she wandered about. She'd set off with no real destination in mind, wanting to get away from the grins and fake congratulations on the flight of Mizeath and all the rumors. Rumors were running rampant around the weyr, though she couldn't really find fault in the people who spread them. From what she had gleaned, they were juicy tidbits. She, herself, wasn't one to actually assist in the spreading of such tails and especially about a particular man.
On top of her own problems she hadn't a clue how to deal with some of the things she'd heard in the last few days. Everything from R'nya being a vicious loser to him and K'tir shacking up together and they confused her. She was fairly certain R'nya wasn't into men that way, but really what did she know? It wasn't much, but she was still certain of that. It was difficult to imagine him being anything but sweet and gentle to a woman but her father had been sweet and gentle once.
She hummed as she walked, lost in thought not paying attention to her movements and she drifted here and there, grabbing a wildflower or two as she did so. She didn't see the movement ahead of her, didn't hear the sounds of R'nya sifting through a berry bush, didn't even know anyone else was out here until she was nearly on top of him. She started with a slight gasp when she caught sight of him half way through a bush. Her face flushed and her eyes widened as she stared at him. What if he'd heard about her calling N'kal by his name? What was she supposed to do? She felt like a wherry facing down a dragon, the panic beginning to set in. Did she flee or did she say hello?Say hello of course, came the amused answer in her mind.
"Hello…" she said quietly, preparing to flee if she needed to.
