R’nd grinned as they popped out from between above Telgar Weyr. He never got tired of the feeling of exhilaration with a successful jump nor did he tire of the view. It wasn’t the fact that it was his home –well, technically he called Telgar home now and wasn’t at Benden Weyr long enough to do more than warm a bed for a few months, and Katila was its own special entity – but the view from so high above was always beautiful no matter where he appeared. The fact that his newly Searched Candidate seemed to feel the same way if his delighted laugh was anything to go by, made R’nd even happier with Ayyonth’s pick.
“It’s quite the experience, isn’t it?” The jump, the dragon ride, the view, even the chance at a new life, it didn’t matter which would stick out to Phinarion the most when they were all equally amazing. R’nd asked Ayyonth to circle them down slow as he pointed out things of note like the Hatching Sands, feeding grounds, and even in which direction they technically came in from before finally touching down.
He unbuckled the boy and with Ayyonth’s help and his, R’nd got Phinarion back on the ground. “Welcome home, Phinarion,” he officially greeted the boy with a pat on the shoulder and a smile before turning his attention to the pack he had secured at the farm. The pack was slung over one shoulder and R’nd gave Ayyonth some love and attention with petting to his neck and eye ridges, promising him to remove the riding gear once he saw Phinarion settled in.
Take care of this one. He is a bit excitable but I like him. He’s… familiar. Ayyonth spoke only to R’nd but he gave Phinarion a little head butt to his arm when the boy stood still long enough to do so. Deciding to wait at their weyr, he strolled a few paces away and took off to return to his ledge.
R’nd wondered what Ayyonth meant about Phinarion being familiar but decided he was picking out memories he had of someone when they were younger and didn’t think much else on it. “Would you like a grand tour before or after I show you to your room?” Some Searchriders only did a ‘Search and Dump’ and didn’t care what the Candidate did once they landed or even if they found their bed. R’nd couldn’t do that to anyone. In Katila, he did his best to help the Stolen adjust to the new life that they were thrown into without a choice and tried to befriend them all. It mostly worked but a few hated dragonriders too deeply for even his charm and good looks to get through.
Now that he was helping find Candidates, R’nd took extra responsibility for those he brought in, wanting them to know that he was there for them, even after a night’s rest. Maybe it also had to do with T’bia and how much he took to the odd but sweet Candidate that no one knew how to handle so he was thrust upon the friendly bluerider that liked nearly everyone. He actually enjoyed the unique questions and liked focusing on one person to ensure they became the best rider they could. He already felt Phinarion would be high on the list of people he wanted to befriend and assist along the way. The emotions Phinarion showed clearly were so pure and R’nd wanted to help protect that.
