The summary of R’nds’ activities made Mulrissa smile into her wineglass. “Those are the reasons blueriders are useful, though,” She teased, “Keep everyone from getting too serious and and working themselves to an early death. Besides, I’m sure B’jin can find plenty of uses for those skills.” She said, glancing at B’jin to make sure he didn’t take her comment the wrong way - any wrong way.
Rissa too stood up as the Weyrwoman appeared, pulling her into a hug after R’nd had finished greeting her. “I’m so glad you were able to come, Kahleena! I know you were unsure if you had tome to get away from your duties. Here,” she said, directing Kathleen to the recently vacated seat beside her. “Sit for a bit. It seems R’nd is willing to play server for a minute, so take advantage of it.” Moments later she was distracted from her fellow goldrider as new guests arrived and came over to greet her.
“Z’rin,” She said fondly, immensely glad of Bedith’s impeccable memory for names and faces. So useful at times like this. Not that she was bad with names herself, but she like to check. Rissa preferred to greet people by their names, especially now that she was a goldrider. Everyone seemed to appreciate the regard. “It is good to see you. It really has been ages, hasn’t it? You are of course welcome to stop by for a visit whenever, you know.”
Rissa would have said more, but at that moment Indivara forced herself into Z’rin’s space and also the conversation. She ignored the other woman’s frown, knowing enough of her to not take it too personally. “Welcome, Indivara.” She said, smiling at her. “I’m glad you could be here.” And that she had chosen to be there at all, but Rissa knew better than to say that part. “Same to you, V’ler.” She added, greeting the man who had been left a bit behind by the flurry that was Indivara, even as said flurry wandered off towards the food table. “Please enjoy the evening.”
Greetings given, Mulrissa had a second to take a deep breath, recovering from all the rapid ‘hello’s and ‘welcome’s. She was about to turn back to Kahleena to ask a question when two brown firelizards came through the door to Bedith’s portion of the weyr, bolting over towards the table in front of her. Rissa recognized Sandy, her son’s flit, but not the other one. She figured out the answer when one of the Candidates who had been hanging out by Bedith came back through the door, glancing around until his eyes landed on the firelizards and he headed over towards them. It wasn’t until he spoke in an unexpectedly high voice that Rissa recognized Nerreh, one of Chalris’ friends.
