K’dar eyed the bottle, and she watched him carefully as he seemed to change his mind. Good man. She smiled at him, corking the thing and slipping in back into her satchel. Drinking alone was tolerable, and drinking with others was enjoyable, but being the only one drinking was a bit depressing. She was feeling melancholy enough, she didn’t want to add to it.
“For what it’s worth, I think you’re doing quite well with it. This isn’t an ideal way to learn to lead, but…” She shrugged and cocked her head to look at him better. “You seem to be taking initiative, keeping a level head. It’s good to see that.”
He talked about a party after catching whoever was behind it all, and she laughed. She hadn’t been to a party in Faranth knew how long. “A party sounds nice, actually.” She nodded, considering. The thought hadn’t really occurred to her. Her eyes narrowed as she considered the idea. “I…I just want to go somewhere. Anywhere but here. I’ve been cooped up in the Weyr so much, especially lately, I think I’d want to explore Pern a bit more, if I can. I’ve never been down to the Nerat peninsula, and I’ve heard it can be beautiful. Or maybe check out the other Weyrs not yet opened, get a feel for them, help get one running.”
The sun seemed to touch the lip of the Weyr wall, washing over Telgar and tinging everything in orange. Sitting up here, in her and Kirolan’s spot, being limited to the space inside these walls with all of the recent events, Lassalla couldn’t help but feel a bit stuck. Pern was growing around her, and she’d been so wrapped up in what was immediately in front of her that she’d missed much of it. Then once she was finally showing her face again, she gets knocked down by the recent events. A change of scenery may do her well, she thought. “Telgar’s been my home for much of my life, but maybe home could be somewhere else, eventually. Once all this blows over? Who knows.”
