There wasn’t anything in particular Vaera had left to do for the day. She’d had morning classes, of course, but those were finished with, and she didn’t have any evening ones, and no other planned activities. All her work that was due soon Vaera had finished, and she may have been a scholarly sort, but she was still a teenage girl and wasn’t going to spend absolutely all day doing schoolwork if she didn’t have to. She wasn’t totally boring. Even if she did find researching herb uses fun. Idly she wandered the grounds of the Hall, giggling at the way the light breeze swirled her skirts around her, hoping something interesting to do would make itself apparent.
Eventually, it did, taking the form of one of the Weyr Apprentices. Vaera thought they were fascinating.
“Hello, Madiquel,” she said cheerfully, carefully settling herself on the ground beside the Weyr girl, folding her skirts neatly under her. “Enjoying the weather?” Vaera knew all the Weyr people by name, of course, and had spoken with all of them at least once, but she couldn’t claim to be overly familiar with Madiquel. They shared classes, of course, but, well, they hadn’t really had a chance to get to know each other. Vaera thought perhaps they should. If only because the girl’s firelizard was adorable. She couldn’t help watching the little green creature, sleeping in Madiquel’s arms. If she touched it, would it be soft? Vaera wanted to know. For now, though, she resisted reaching out to touch it.
