"I did and I went the whole Weyr with her, too," Zarel said, trying not to be as gleeful as she felt, but it was pretty hard to not have it show through. She was proud of herself after all. "I helped because I know where most of the people are. She said she does, too, but that my short-cuts are super helpful, isn't that the best? I would be a good Runner, she said so. I'm clever enough and I'm really fast."
She fell silent for a while reading the letter Alekse had sent her. Soon, she was fairly glowing.
"We keep him in good spirits," Zarel said solemnly but with a touch of pride, there as well. "It didn't take too long for these to come and that means he's almost here. I bet he comes next week. I'd bet a mark on it. He's pretty fast, you know, though he says he walks, too. That's good. You have to pace yourself when you run traces, you know. Alekse says so. And so did Brina, the Runner lady. It means I have to slow down sometimes."
Her expression was very, very serious.
"Even if I don't want to slow down." She huffed a little and smoothed out her letter a little more.
