The young woman felt odd standing in the middle of the open courtyard. Her hands running over her simple but well-kept dress, it was meant for formal situations and events. But Kikki wasn't sure what exactly kept her on edge, kept her smoothing out now existant folds in her dress and what made the palms of her hands sweaty. Was it meeting the New lord and lady her siblings had been gifted to, given away like an object? or was it the fact that she was going to see her brother again, today two whole turns after he left for the weyr? She takes a deep breath, composing herself, it was just how life was and she was in no position to do anything about it. But at least they were all staying together. Thank the servant head for not splitting them up. She wasn't sure what she do if she was suddenly told she be taken away from her family or they from her.

Dark hazel eyes would turn to the sky, she wasn't the only one waiting, at least she did not believe she was. Rumor of a dragon riders arrival spread like wildfire among the gossiping women of the hold. She heard a bit of it, some managed to keep it mainly to the truth while others had blown it up to what could easily be the weyr woman herself. A single feather to a whole foul.

But she was nervous to see him again, Fendrel, no F'drel her oldest youngest brother. She asked for him to bring her to Fort, she wanted to see him again, it been so long. She missed him, and while she wouldn't wish him back she really did wish he wasn't so far away. From what she managed to read from their short letter exchanges he was doing well. He impressed a dragon, he was a free man.

F’drel had never really been one for procrastinating, but that morning was an exception. At breakfast he’d sat and stared into space for at least fifteen minutes, not eating, just staring. He’d oiled every patch of Halomirth’s hide twice, slowly rubbing the oil in with great focus. The plan for today was to escort Kelikki to Fort Hold. Which, on the surface, seemed fairly simple and a good thing. He got to see his sister. She, and their other siblings, were leaving Nabol. And yet.

And yet.

It had been over two turns since he’d seen her. F’drel had sent a few letters, one when he’d arrived at Ista to confirm he’d arrived safely, and one after Impressing to tell his siblings about Halomirth and his new name, and one or two others, but he hadn’t seen them in person. How had things changed for them? How much had he changed? Not physically, certainly, F’drel had gained the odd dragonrider delayed aging, but he was sure he was different. Were his siblings different?

There was also the guilt over not visiting them since being Searched. Really, F’drel felt he should have visited at least once, or arranged for them to come visit the Weyr, or something. But he’d been afraid of overstepping his bounds and causing trouble for them in Nabol. He’d been afraid of going to Nabol at all, to tell the truth. But now he could go there on the back of his own dragon, a dragonrider. Even as a greenrider F’drel knew he was special for Holders. And Miri was hardly a small green, so even more impressive than most. So he’d told himself he’d wait until Halomirth was all grown up before visiting. And then she’d Flown and still he’d hesitated. No one could dispute she was grown up, if still young, but the fear of how his siblings might receive him and who he might run into kept him away.

But now there were no more excuses. F’drel had been requested, by Kelikki herself, to bring her to Fort and he couldn’t say no. Not to his sister.

So, having stalled as long as he could justify, he and Halomirth were ready to go — or as ready as he’d ever be, and soon headed out of their weyr and into the sky. Halomirth blinked between as soon as she could get away with it, and within moments they were wheeling their way through the sky above Fort Hold, the tightness in F’drel’s stomach completely unrelated to their loss in altitude.

I get to meet your sister! I’m so excited! Miri piped up as they glided down, in an attempt to cheer her rider up. She really was excited, she knew so much about Kelikki from F’drel’s memories, and she seemed wonderful! F’drel may have had complex feelings about the reunion, but Halomirth’s were straightforward. Is that her? She asked, flashing F’drel the image of a dark haired woman who matched his memories.

’Yeah, that’s her.’ F’drel confirmed as the pair touched down in the overly familiar courtyard of the Lord Holder’s residence. He took a deep breath to brace himself before sliding off Halomirth’s neck, her encouragement and delight at meeting his family wrapping around him and steadying him.

It wasn't hard to notice when he arrived, the other people who were outside, or just waiting to see the holds weary own dragon rider appear. They had been talking, the normal buzzing of voices suddenly came to total still, silence filling the air for moments before they took back up. But Kikki did not hear them, instead, her eyes were on the sky. On her brother and his green. Sure she seen a dragon before, when they had searched the hold for candidates, when he had been searched. But always had it been from a safe distance. Eyes would follow them in their descent from the sky, and her eyes still wide with surprise from when he suddenly appeared from out of nowhere.

As they came closer to the ground she could see the mighty creature better, her green hide dark but varying in shade. Light colors on her neck. She was stunning, and Kikki couldn't help but watch in wonder as she decedent from her spot in the sky to the ground. And when she landed she was huge, sure Kikki new dragons were large but this big? She seen them fly over the hold now and then, seen them as they came to search but never this close. Never had she seen such a big creature up close. Truth to be told, it was scary.

Hands having grabbed onto the fabric od her dress sought to smooth out the wrinkles created with nervous strokes. Eyes would lift from her dress to the brother she hadn't seen in two turns. But she didn't move forth more than a few steps. Eyes seeking his face, seeking his expression. Was he happy to see her? Was he embraced by them? The thought made a fire burn in her chest. He never seemed like it in his letters but why elles would he not have come back? The thought hurt, and she just stood there looking at him, a sudden hesitant smile on her lips. She wanted to believe he wasn't but why wouldn't he be? They were Drudges, and he was a rider now, he was a free man.

"Hello brother" she finally spoke, tongue and throat feeling dry and the feeling of hurt never seeming to leave her.

“Sister,” F’drel said over the tightness in his throat, “Kelikki. It is good to see you.” And he meant it, even if he was nervous about seeing her again after all this time. He smiled softly at her, as Halomirth gave him a mental nudge.

Can I say hi to her? Can I? She asked, resisting the urge the dance in place in excitement. The importance of appearing dignified was not lost on Halomirth, and she was careful to not let others see how eager she was to look around and greet Kelikki. But she knew what it meant to F’drel to come back her, so she restrained herself from wiggling. F’drel, for his part, was eternally grateful to his dragon. ’Let me ask her if she’s okay with it first, all right?’ Halomirth gave her agreement, and F’drel spoke to his sister.

“Halomirth wants to say hi to you herself.” He said, reaching over to rest his hand on the green’s neck. “If you’re all right with her speaking to you directly.” Halomirth slowly brought her head a little lower to be closer to Kelikki and trying to be as friendly looking as possible. Which, if you knew dragons, she very clearly was. However, F’drel doubted anyone here understood dragon body language enough to tell; Including Kelikki. “She’s very excited to meet you.” He added, hoping to make it clear that Miri wasn’t testing her or something like that. She didn’t have to prove anything to Miri, the dragon already loved her.

His greeting was meet with a smile, he sounds like he meant it. Sound generally happy, but they both grown up as Drudges they both learned to smile and serve the holders even when the world hurt. She just smiled back at him, he throat still dry, her belief still that he was not happy to see her. Embraced by her standing, and it hurt a lot. But she kept smiling, she knew how to keep up a mask keep working through a day no matter how bad it was. "Its good to see you to F'drel"

However her brothers next question had Kiki look at him with great surprise and confusion. Speak to her? Why would his dragon wanna speak to her? A faint of panic made its way into her chest. Had she angered him, but he did not wanna say it? Would the dragon be mad at her? The fact that the mighty green lowered her head to look at Kikki only made the drudge even more nervous stepping back a few steps. She did not know how to read the body language of a dragon and she did not know how to react to this. It was scary, scarier than the fear of her brother disliking them. Whispers of horror stories from when they were children seped though her mind.

Eyes would dart to her brother as he spoke, excited to meet her? Could a dragon be excited? Hesitant she looked between them, eyes slightly showing the worry, but only slightly. It would be rude to say no, and she did not wanna make this meeting go bad. It was supposed to be a happy reunion. "She can, I'ts quiet amazing to meet her to" Kikki finally answered a bit of hesitation in her voice as she looked from her brother to the green.

She was good at hiding how nervous she was around Halomirth, but F’drel knew his sister well enough to tell. The only thing someone else might even pick up on was the few steps back she took when Halomirth got closer, and few Holders would fare much better meeting a dragon the first time. But really, there wasn’t a better way to make someone feel comfortable with Miri than letting the green speak for herself. She was genuine and sweet and F’drel didn’t think anyone who had a heart could dislike her.

’That’s your cue, Miri.’ He told her once Kelikki confirmed she was alright with being spoken to directly. Halomirth let him know she understood, before directing her thoughts to Kelikki.

Hello Kelikki! I’m so happy to meet you! F’drel thinks about you a lot, and you’re important to him, and he’s important to me, so you’re important to me too and I hope we can be friends! The green said focusing her whirling green eyes on Kelikki and barely managing to keep from bouncing a bit in her eagerness to say hello and make a good impression.

It was odd, the feeling of the greens voice in her head. Not in a way which made her feel bad but in a funny tingling sensation almost. She never experienced anything like this, and to think F'drel did it every day? She smiles slightly, the feeling of the greens voice, no Halomirth's voice being off but wonderful in a scary yet amazing way. And her words brought happiness to Kikki. He wasn't disgusted by them, from what the green said he still cared. Her eyes softened and her hands smoothed over her clothing, but she still was a bit guarded with the dragon being so close.

But Kikki smiled "Thank you Halomirth" she spoke a soft tone to her voice, as she looked to F'drel for a short moment before looking back at his amazing green. "And I think we can be friends, I don't see why not" she spoke, it seemed okay to be friends, but could one be friends with a dragon? She did not know, but this green was her brother's dragon and he was family so that had to mean something. At least that the green wouldn't eat her, or their siblings. She still gazed at the dragon for a moment more before looking at her brother.

"Thank you for coming, It's been so long," she said stepping carefully around the green (possibly in a bigger cirkel the necessary) to carefully offer him a hug, spreading out her arms slightly and taking a step forth but not pulling him in. It'd been so long, she wasn't sure he be okay with it, or if he had grown too old for hugs,

Oh, good! Halomirth cheered, very pleased that she had a new friend. I’m so glad! The fact that the woman may be afraid of her had not occurred to the green, unused to Holders and there lack of knowledge about dragons. What had worried her was that Kelikki would hate her. She’d gotten an idea that F’drel’s family may be upset with her and angry with her for taking him away, likely her way of interpreting F’drel’s own worries about his siblings not being pleased to see him and his guilt over leaving them. Kelikki agreeing to be her friend immediately quelled those fears, and Halomirth became even more excited about everything.

When Kelikki approached for a hug, F’drel hesitated for barely a heartbeat. Not because he didn’t want to hug her — he did, he very dearly did — but because even now he still worried how she truly felt about him. Refusing her hug would not improve her disposition if she were upset with him, and he really did want to hug her again after all this time, so F’drel reached out to her and stepped forward, circling his arms around her and holding her close. Their height difference was enough that he could rest his chin on the top of her head, which he’d only been able to do in the last few months he’d been in Nabol. For most of his life, Kelikki had been taller, and he still wasn’t used to the head difference between them now. She’d always seemed so tall to him, his strong, determined older sister who would always do her best for them.

“It has.” He said into her hair, trying very carefully to keep his voice level and tears from starting. “Far too long. I’m so sorry, Kikki.”
