743.07.15 | Preparations - Rh'us - 16.Jul.22
Rh'us and Hispidath popped into the clear sky above Fort with a trill of greeting to the watch dragon. It was a relief to be there, or anywhere that wasn't Benden really. His patients were released or being handled by someone else (which suited him just fine, he didn't want to do anymore house calls for a while, even for the weyrwoman), and with graduation behind him he was free. And so you picked Fort to visit and not some more exotic or interesting place?
The bronze was teasing, Rh'us could tell, but he still huffed. "You know this isn't a vacation really. We're here to do things." The dragon let out a rumble. Must you? Rh'us nodded. Yes. He gave Hispidath's neck a gentle pet as he directed him on where to land. "I'm sure you'll meet some interesting people while I'm here. I'll try to be quick at least." Hispidath let out a soft rumble of acknowledgement as he landed in the bowl and waited patiently for his rider to finish removing his straps so he could go socialize and wait.
Shouldering his bag and double checking he had everything he needed, Rh'us made a few stops for errands first, and though it was still months too early he took a look at some empty weyrs, taking quick sketches and notes of them, especially the ones he thought August might like and things he'd appreciate like quiet and private connecting corridors, generally peaceful surroundings. After that a quick stop by the infirmary was in order. He quietly surveyed their current supply inventories, tried to find good space for his lab and research, and then went to convince the headwoman it would be beneficial to have the space set aside for him. At least she was willing to consider it if the transfer was approved. If.
It was already afternoon by the time he was done and ready to pay L'gan a visit. Bitty gave a soft chirp as he quietly called for her and then took off on her task to locate the greenrider healer before popping back to her master with a mental image of the man's weyr. Ah good, he was home. Rh'us dug into his bag as he made his way towards the weyr, carefully wiping down the bottle down with a rag so it was dust free, pretty and clean and fit for gifting. He gave the door a firm knock as he waited to present his friend with the gift. "Long time no see. How have you holding up?"
