Oh this was priceless! R’nya was in quite a mood and while it wasn’t the first time he had seen the Weyrleader so frazzled and cranky, it still amused D’hys to no end. R’nya always tried his hardest to look calm and put together, the perfect picture of a bronzerider and Weyrleader. It kind of lost the effect when he swore, grumbled, and acted anything but like a leader. R’nya was actually doing a damn fine impression of a Harper D’hys remembered from before the plague. The man had offered to stay in the Weyr for a few months to teach the weyrbrats and had left in storm of flying papers and stomping feet when he realised he couldn’t corral them long enough to gain any attention. D’hys could only imagine what teaching brats would be like and sort of felt like leading a Weyr was similar.
His amusement only grew as R’nya scowled and tossed the letter away. Now he was extremely curious! It obviously wasn’t anything on an official level, which meant it was more along the lines of personal correspondence but it didn’t seem like R’nya wanted any part of it. Perhaps he had picked up another mistress, this time in Ista, and someone was playing middle man in passing along notes? Doubtful. That’d be too risky in leaving evidence behind for sweet Rhaedalyn to find when she thought to help out and tidy up.
His ponderings were temporarily halted when someone else tried to barge in. D’hys laughed at R’nya’s bark and the way the kid in the doorway seemed to panic and bolt away. “At least it wasn’t your mistress’ brat you just scared the life out of.” D’hys knew who Quinvalis was as soon as he was told Xyreith had Searched the boy and the boy said he came from Telgar Hold. Why R’nya decided to bring the kid to the Weyr was still a mystery to him and why Rhaedalyn didn’t think it odd and even liked the boy remained one as well.
“Anyway, shouldn’t you send back a reply? Or am I to take it that it doesn’t need one either because it was simply an update or because the person knew it’d make you scowl and toss it away?”
