For Peorray, the graduation celebrations only served to remind her how long it had been since she'd come to Katila. It was strange to think that this was the first clutch she'd stood for: that once-peers were full riders when her life hadn't changed much at all. It was plus one son, she added in silent haste and a bit of guilt, but that wasn't exactly the same sort of thing.
She cast about for some sort of distraction to the brooding turn her thoughts were taking and her eyes lit on the table at the back. Manned by a greenrider, she noticed, wandering over to have a look. It held a blanket with... oh. When she saw what was in the blanket, she could feel her face fall in disappointment. Firelizard eggs. She didn't have the abhorrence for the critters that some of the dragonriders seemed to, but she wasn't fond of the pests with wings either.
She was surprised, but pleased, to see Aeldan accept an egg. Good on her for speaking up. Peorray left her to conversation with the brownrider and the egg-giver, edging away from the table to escape back into the crowd before the man could try and talk her into one too. There'd be other things to occupy her time tonight.
