Tala and Niath had been wandering aimlessly along the rim of the Weyr Bowl when she heard R’vi’s voice, at which point she spun around, pulled away from the small flowers that she had been investigating, and smiled, relieved. Not that she really thought R’vi would ignore her, but, well, they weren’t exactly close so she’d still worried a little. Niath, who had gotten a bit further ahead, trotted back towards her rider, curious about the newcomer. She’d never met him, after all, though she knew her rider was waiting for him to show up. The young green sniffed at him a little, before settling herself on the ground a length or two away to let the humans talk.
“R’vi, hi!” She said cheerfully, giving the bluerider a wave. “That was fast! Thank you for coming, how’ve you been?” Tala gave him time to answer, not wanting to rush right into her request immediately. She really did hope he was doing well, he was a friend, and it mattered to her that he wasn’t having an awful time of it. And, you know, she didn’t want him to think she only cared about the fact that he could run an errand of sorts for her. Cause she didn’t, he was a decent guy, considering, and she’d love to catch up with him. But, well, she did have a very specific goal here.
“Soooo, I need a favor, specifically from someone who can go between Weyrs and I thought of you!” Tala said, after listening politely to R’vi’s response to her last question and nodding in all the appropriate places. And really, Tala could probably find someone else to help her, but her number one choice would be her aunt down in New Katila, but Tala hated to make Delorianth between if it wasn’t absolutely necessary — the poor green’s leg, crippled in the Landslide, didn’t like the cold of between and always bothered her after. If she asked, Tala knew Ramara and Delorianth would transport their grandniece for her, and would insist on doing so, which made Tala reluctant to ask them unless absolutely necessary. Which it shouldn’t be, because R’vi would say yes! Probably.
