This is exhausting. I miss my research. My work. I'd made so much progress in that last experiment- Well no sense worrying about it now.
I'm going to try reciting and writing as much as I can from early healer lessons... redraw old diagrams I learned in the Hall when I was an apprentice just to make sure I have at least something to do with my work while I'm trapped in weyrling classes. Keep my brain from turning into dragon mush.
Hispidath seems to think my journals are disorganized and indecipherable. I've reassured him that the only important part of my system is that I understand it.
How much oil can one dragon possibly absorb into his skin?! Every time I think I've figured out the precise amount I need he grows and I have to figure it out again. There must be some sort of formula for this...
It's... endearing that he keeps bringing me little scraps of wood he thinks I can use for my "miniature rooms" and "furniture for bugs" at least he seems to find me good pieces. Maybe I'll explain the models a bit better to him.
Now he's decided to make demands. He doesn't even need to read my notes! But now I have to add dates. Here I thought he was starting to become less demanding. Well I refuse, he can pout all he wants.

I guess he's growing on me. And I know he doesn't mean to be some terrible burden, but if I puke again during another shared sight exercise I'm going to break something. T'cai just keeps assigning me extra bonding exercises as if that will help.
742.11.02
Fuck I needed that.

It's too cold for this. Hiss keeps insisting he's fine and I believe him, I know how cold he feels, but I still worry.

I'm annoyed that we're not allowed to go flying on our own, even to just practice around the bowl. I know some of the other werylings might be shaky but we're fine.
743.04.18
I wonder how they make the soaps and bubble bath. Tried to indulge and relax a bit and accidentally got some into my eye when Hiss decided to very loudly and suddenly let me know one of my "playmates" was looking for me. Not only does my eye sting like a bitch now, it also reeks of overly pungent rose petals. Maybe later though.

New research project, collecting information on dragonrider lineages to see if there are any trends regarding illness, and lifespan. I know certain family lines have tendencies for things such as heart or brain health, but dragonriders have always seemed more resilient and I wonder if there is any data to back that up.

Well... that was convenient. Bronzerider T'ryn delivered copies of all of the research he'd done on his own familiar line. It is quite thorough, and he has several siblings to keep an eye on. Two bronzeriders and a goldrider is impressive to come from the same father. I notice he has an adopted brother of sorts, shares a mother with one of his siblings. Bronzerider, K'dar. I doubt that one is connected to whatever trend is happening with the other siblings since his father is unknown, but it will be interesting to see if the sibling they share in common, Mylorah, impresses. I should probably write him a follow-up letter inquiring about their general health histories as well.
