Ellaira grinned and took a seat on one of the logs for firewood, crossing her legs. "Thank you muchly," she said, all politeness, taking the proffered mug of klah. It was still piping hot, the warmth of the drink seeping through the ceramic mug to heat up her hands. Ellaira sipped it, and was pleasantly surprised. Unlike the vast majority of the food people were making, it didn't taste like ash, but rather like mildly scorched klah. Delightful.
"I'm Ellaira. I suppose I'm sort of a recluse - I spend the vast majority of my time in the aviaries or working with the wherry flocks." She shrugged, used to not knowing faces in the Weyr. She knew her coworkers, her leaders, her housemate, her children, and a few strays. No reason to memorize every face in Katila. "But that's neither here nor there," Ellaira added with a smile before taking another draught of the klah. The drink made a warm spot in her belly, and tingled a little bit with its wake-me-up affect. "What sort of eggs did you find? I mean, were they on the ground, or in the trees, or huge, or what? I've got a bit of irrepressible curiosity when it comes to avians."
