She started hard, stick flinging to the side as her body jumped sideways. "Oh!" she breathed as the voice came out of nowhere, such was the depths of her thoughts. "I didn't see you," she continued as she held out a hand to stop the runner from going on, "I didn't hit you did I?" That would be terrible and the thought of it made her brows furrow with concern. She squinted just slightly as she took a look at the girl. She was familiar but August didn't know her. Maybe she saw her running around the weyr from day to day.
"Can you walk?" she asked quickly, "Or take a break or whatever its called?" She hoped so. August was so lost inside her head after Arradissicath's hatching that she needed the company to keep herself out of it. Maybe this girl would give her that option. She also needed to make more friends so this was a perfect opportunity to do just that. "How is it being.... A runner?" she asked as she squinted at the girl's knots.
She wasn't altogether knowledgeable in all the various crafts on Pern, woodcraft was the thing she was most interested in but it wouldn't kill her to learn about another. "My name's August," she went on as she swung the stick in her hand softly, "Whats yours?"
