"Ameris..." a deep voice intruded on her sleep. "Ameris wakey, wakey" it came again and Ameris's nose wrinkled in her sleep. Why wake when the dream she was currently living was much to delightful to leave? "Ameris!" the voice shouted and her dark eyes shot open. A light headache immediately began to pound behind her eyes as they met the bright blue of K'ton's. "What in the hell are you doing in here K'ton?!" she shrieked and began patting her body to be sure she was still clothed. Her body relaxed as she found herself still properly attired in the gather dress she had been wearing a few hours before. "Well?" she demanded as she winced when the confounded man knocked the lid from her glow basket.
"Oh.. The eggs are hatching and the candidates have been called. I didn't think you'd want to miss that. I'm surprised you didn't hear the shriek of Grith when she set out the call. Must have been some night eh?" he said with a grin before winking slyly at her, "Just what were you dreaming about, Ameris my dear?" Her face colored as she remembered the bits and pieces of the delightful dream he had woken her from and earned a full throated laugh from the brownrider as he wiggled his brows and waited for an answer.
Damned if she would give him one. Couldn't have this nosey brownrider knowing who had been the leading character in her dreams. She glared and pointed at the door until he removed himself from her room. As quick as her pounding head would let her, Ameris slipped her candidate robes and shoes on. Turning she searched for Rislan in her blankets almost at a panic when she couldn't until she remembered the toddler had spent the night at the creche.
Striding from her room she took the proffered arm of K'ton as the man set himself the task of escorting her to the sands. He frowned lightly when the rapidly fading bruise shown in the light. It was nearly gone now and most of the time the only people who noticed were those who'd actually spoken to her about it. Ameris knew K'ton would have killed her father if he could and was grateful for the friendship of the brown riding man beside her. She slipped away from his arm with a pat and smile as she joined the others that waited with bated breath for the newest additions to the weyr to break free.
