Bordtai watched as the northerner-turned-candidate left the scene, a little unsure on how he felt about her. She seemed like a genuinely nice person who had all of the wrong ideas stuffed into her head. A part of him wanted to just snort at her and send her back home since such ideas had no room here at Katila while the other part of him wanted to empty her head out and fill it with all of the right ideas. But it wasn’t like she was new to Katila, he’d seen her at all of his candidate classes thus far even if they didn’t much talk and she was a regular face around the quieter parts of the Weyr.
Perhaps restuffing her head with the right ideas wasn’t a possibility. After all, she should have caught on by now… right?
Hearing Nellaris speak up next to him, Bordtai watched her stand up and appraise the floor, concluding that it would be ‘clean enough’ and announcing that she had other things to do. It took him a minute to process her words and tone separately and realize that she wasn’t actually being typical Nell who snubbed her nose and spoke down to people. She was telling it like it was sure, but compaired to normal Nell, she was actually being nice about it.
Looking up at her, Bordtai blinked a few times before realizing he should actually answer back.
“I will be Nellaris. T-thank you for helping!” he called out after her as she disappeared into her room. Looking down at the bucket and rags and his juice-soaked pants, Bordtai gave a lopsided smile. Funny how womenfolk can start out so angry but if you walk the lines right they can be forgiving too. Picking up everything left over, he headed back to the washing room to clean himself up before evening chores.
