"We both been here long enough to be known by our actions," Arddra knew she was known as skittish and leery around dragonriders. Those who were born in the weyr don't seem to understand it at all. Arddra had avoided talking about her fears and unhappiness, instead she focused more on just coping and adapting to her new life here. She was getting tired of standing for Golds and failing to Impress one. If she knew she could be of good use here other than as a gold rider, Addra would feel relieved once she simply was too old for a dragon.
It would make her feel such a failure if she never impressed a gold. Yet the few times she was able to be close to a dragon, like Morikath, the more she wanted to Impress a gold. Pushing it away from her mind, Arddra focused on gutting fish.
"Your father was a beastcrafter as well?" Arddra looked up from her work and smiled. It was nice to run into other Candidates with similar backgrounds. Then he asked about her being a Lord Holder's daughter. Arddra was surprised he would think she was that high born. "My father was also beastcraft, but at Fort. he was a Sr. Apprentice, a long way from being a Lord Holder, or even a Holder of a minor Hold."
"I used to watch my father tend to the animals every time I could get away from my chores. I love animals, I always found such peace around them."
"What kind of animals did you and your father work with?" Arddra started cleaning another fish as she waited for an answer.
