D’hys took another moment to take the measure of the girl before him. He could almost respect the way she seemed to try to stare him down and show she wasn’t intimated by him. It was something he actually liked about Ravanna though she also knew her place as a woman and greenrider. This girl still seemed to hold a lot of pride in her which led him to believe she likely came from a higher station. He could have a lot of fun breaking her in but figured Weyr life in general would already do that and decided to wait and see how much she could take before playing any games.
“Well, Theo,” D’hys knew he wouldn’t remember her entire name given she was a freshly landed Candidate and mentioning a ‘Theo something or another’ would be good enough for most people to know who he meant, “let’s get you off the Sands and send you on your way to the midday meal that’s just beginning.” D’hys stepped aside and gestured for the girl to walk out of the Hatching Grounds in front of him so he could keep an eye on her. He believed her apology and didn’t think she would suddenly run around the area like an excitable hatchling. No one would intentionally risk losing their chance to Impress and he felt the simple idea there was a chance of doing so was enough to reign in her curiosity. At least for now; who knew what the next day would bring.
