A’tay nearly jumped out of his skin as a woman all but physically jumped him. He was also lucky he didn’t take off a finger as he had been running his thumb over the side of the piece of wood instead of working with the chisel at that particular moment. He decided to make his own chess board and pieces for F’drel and another for T’ryn but making the various types of pieces to be relatively the same was a bit trickier than he expected.
He resisted the urge to grab his heart from the shock but did grip the small piece of wood a bit tighter as he turned to take in the owner of the voice. She was petite with dark hair and A’tay didn’t think he had seen her before. Was she a new resident or a visitor? Or was he simply that absorbed in his work and avoiding large groups that he failed to notice someone that had been here for a while?
“Um, hi,” he started out lamely before finding his voice and smiling, “I’m A’tay of bronze Xyxyth. What do you need help with? I’ll do my best to lend a hand if I can.” He was young, still a rather inexperienced bronzerider, and he still didn’t know all the twists and turns of the Weyr despite how long he had now lived there.
