Alekse hid a smirk as he watched his sister tease the rider. She hadn’t been this at ease and this cheerful in a long while, and he was glad to see it, raising an eyebrow as she bumped into the young man in almost-scolding, chuckling at their antics. “Hey, I better get a turn on the floor with you, too. I didn’t teach you the toss dance for nothing!” Alekse threw a crumb of his sweet at her to push his point, which she dodged easily, one of the firelizards diving behind to catch the discarded piece. “R’dal, you are welcome to stick around as long as you like.”
He took a seat at the table and coughed out a small laugh at her question. Having barely decided on it last night…technically this morning…he still could barely believe it himself. “I, uh…I am going to go for my Mastery. Old Venan over east is rumored to be wanting to retire soon. It’s a small station, I honestly don’t even remember which station number he serves. Close to Benden, though. Not as busy as the stations around here, but the network out there is growing, like the Weyr there.”
Her eyebrows shot up and he stifled further questions as best he could. “I know, I know. I was going to be the perpetual Journeyman. Yeah, nah…” he brushed her off with a poke “Have you shown your friend the traces yet?” He turned to the blue rider. “I know there’s nothing quite like seeing the world from the back of a dragon, but they’re still pretty neat. They certainly do offer some stunning views…”
