Mylorah smiled at Chir and let them slip into silence--meaning she stopped blabbing on and on for once. It was nice to just sit and enjoy the weather and view in silence sometimes. K'dar understood that and when they went camping, they would have their sibling bonding time where they caught up and talked about any issues but they also could sit quietly and enjoy being around nature again. Katila had a lot of bad memories thanks to the landslide but there were a lot of great ones as well and she sometimes missed being there with trees all around them. Maybe she was due a little camping trip soon.
When Chir finally asked about relocating, Mylorah reached over and took his good hand. "If you like it here, you can stay. Not every Candidate travels between the Weyrs. Some do just for a change of scenery, some try to increase their chance of Impressing, and sometimes the girls are encouraged for the gold egg so there will be a good selection." She squeezed his hand and smiled. "No one will make you move, especially if you're just settling in here still. But if you do decide to Stand at Ista or just get one of my brothers to give you a lift, I will gladly show you around. Part of the wall is missing so we have a plateau that overlooks the water and it's beautiful."
While Mylorah explained everything, Taith took his time to study his new friend so he could properly tell Malvayth and Kor'is all about him. But his excitement got the best of him and he suddenly blurted out to both, I like your spots! Will they stay or is that still your baby skin? Kor'is kept telling him that humans only changed in size and that their skin kept the colours and markings they started out with. But Taith wasn't too sure about that. Cazan's babies seemed to change and not just because they were a little bigger now.
Mylorah smothered a little laugh and shook her head, unsure if Chir was answering at the same time or not. "Those are freckles, Taith. Chir will always have them but I agree, I like them as well." She knew a few other people that had a large smattering like he did but still found that look to be rather unique and liked how they gave the person an innocence to them--even if one of the freckled friends was anything but. "I have a friend that has only one below his left eye. He calls it his charm point. By that logic, I'm going to have to assume you're full of charm."
