As Torath relaxed, so did Shanith, the whirling of her eyes slowing and shifting from warm colors back to cool greens and blues.
Shanith nosed gently at Torath.Mine says in this pit of vipers it's good that Tsuen has someone at her back. She doesn't mind him being angry.
R'ana leaned against her green until Shanith nudged her forward again. R'ana, who had been about to speak turned and looked at her green and Shanith piped up with,Maybe he'll play hide and go seek with you now. He looks less angry!
R'ana didn't know what to say to that, so she took a step out of nudging range, and spoke to N'kal quietly. "It is alright. I am glad she has someone to watch out for her and I'm sorry I scared you. I didn't think of how it would look if I got caught, just that I wanted to make her smile." R'ana looked down, a bit ashamed of the impulsiveness. At his words about people wanting Tsuen to step down, she looked down, a bit guiltily. Realizing how it would look, she spoke quietly.
"I'm not sure I trust in Tsuen's leadership, but then I don't usually trust my superiors. I wonder if it wouldn't be better for her state of mind if she didn't step down for a bit, take some time to remember the bright things in life, but I know she can't because they'll never let her back in control. In a way, she's as stuck as anyone here is." R'ana shrugged and looked down. "But I wanted her to know the pretty didn't come with strings attached, which is why I left it anonymously."
R'ana petted Shanith in thought, and added, "D'ren seemed...tired when I saw him. And...The healers are all...he was hurting and it took Shanith quite a while to bother a healer into coming to tend him. I'm hoping that he gets out of the Healer's Hall soon." She didn't have words for how the visit had made her feel, angry that someone had only bothered to feed Ronarth once, and noone had seemed to tend his hide before she had. That seeing D'ren laid low like that had scared her and how heartsick it had made her to realize he was never coming back to the weyrleader position.
Shanith stretched to nuzzle R'ana, crooning to her in an attempt to reassure her. R'ana touched her nose and said, "It scares me that someone could do that to him. I don't agree with all the decisions made, but both him and Tsuen were only trying their best to do right by the weyr." Talking of politics these days was dangerous and always made her unhappy, so she changed the subject.
"Torath is looking good. I saw him and you the other day and he flies very well." It was a feeble effort, but a compliment to a dragonrider's dragon almost always made them smile.
Shanith nosed gently at Torath.
