It took a moment for Nerreh to figure out who 'Madi' referred to, before remembering Madiquel. The girl was only a few turns younger, and Nerreh certainly remembered her, but they had never spent all too much time together, so it took a moment for the nickname to bring up a face. For the same reason she didn't know Madiquel she wasn't overly familiar with the other person R'dare named; Nerreh knew Ayontay, but she had always insisted on playing with the boys, and Madiquel and Ayontay hadn't really run in the same circle. She nodded at the explanation in understanding. Young riders you had beaten in games as a kid were the easiest to talk into taking you somewhere outside the Weyr. Madiquel knew how to get things done, asking R'dare.
Nerreh rolled her eyes at R'dare's 'I work better alone' statement, recognizing it as the joke (and utter bullshit, honestly) it was. She frowned when he grabbed her hand and started pulling her towards the kitchen. Getting pulled around wasn't exactly something she was fond of, but unlike most boys (or men), Nerreh knew R'dare didn't mean anything by it, so she didn't say anything or jerk her hand away.
"It is the best angle in this situation, after all." She said a bit haughtily, ignoring her discomfort from the grabbing and dragging. The pair reached the kitchens in a few minutes, chatting idly about what their lives had been like since they had seen each other last. When they reached the kitchens, Nerreh glanced around, looking for the cooks who had been in Katila. There were still a good number around, but their numbers had been bolstered with Holdfolk and others in the turns since the dragonriders had returned North. She quickly spotted a woman she remembered from Katila, but continued past her, recalling that the woman was less fond of the weyrbrats as some of the others. Eventually she found a suitable 'target,' nodding at the woman so R'dare would know the plan, and started pushing him in that direction, calling out to the woman by name as they walked over (Calling the kitchen workers by name almost always got good results. They liked being remembered.).
"Look who's back at Telgar! You remember R'dare, right?" Nerreh said brightly, giving R'dare a little shove forward.
feel free to say anything/ask questions of Nerreh/etc in the 'idle chat' bit, I just couldn't think of any dialogue to put there, aha...
