“He’s still skinny but he’s not that bad,” at least A’tay had never truly been on the receiving end of Orgailian’s blunt comments and what he witnessed was never that bad either. “But he seems… ‘calmer’ isn’t the right word but not as snarky, I guess, since getting a private room with Zoremet. Maybe it’s his new writing project he’s working on.” Whatever the reason, their brother wasn’t making multiple people miserable on a daily basis lately. He supposed it could also be nearly dying giving Orgailian a new outlook on life but A’tay was more inclined to believe he was just distracted and focusing on other things.
A’tay smiled, glad Zelana would have another visitor to entertain her for a bit but it froze in place the more K’dar spoke and his eyes went wide with horror. Not even his mom asked him about kids! “Zelly and I don’t have any plans for children but thank you for asking.” He wouldn’t mind being a dad one day in the future but it wasn’t going to be any time soon and A’tay knew it wouldn’t be with Zelly. The look of horror continued to hold even as K’dar apologised for joking around with him and A’tay tried to offer a little smile in return to show it was fine but it had only added to his stress.
He was already convinced that K’dar wanted T’ryn for his Second but it was impossible to do thanks to Syrendryth and Bedith being mates. The only way around that would be to have Mulrissa move to Igen as Weyrwoman which would then take T’ryn and Cazan as well. It made sense to send an experienced leader to a new Weyr but A’tay could also see S’far having a fit at losing two golds and two bronzes. So K’dar went with the back-up copy of T’ryn. A’tay wanted to be flattered and had even started to think that one day he could take a leadership role but it was too soon! He wasn’t prepared and would only be a disappointment. But too many people were excited for him and K’dar was relying on him so he hadn’t fought that hard to turn down the offer that was really more of an order anyway.
“I told Zelly she didn’t have to move. Like you said, she loves the beach and I think she genuinely has a found a home here.” And his promotion was ruining that as well. Everyone believed them to be weyrmates since he told her long ago she could live with him since she was visiting so much anyway. If she stayed, she’d have to move back to the barracks or find someone else to live with and who knew what kind of rumours would spark. On the other hand, some of her friends would be relocating, like some of his brothers. “But she says she’s excited for the move and Orgailian and Zoremet are putting in to make Igen their main home so she’ll have some friends still.” He couldn’t wait to start getting into the paperwork portion of the set-up so he could look through the transfers and see who would be in their Weyr. Hopefully some friends from other Weyrs would show up on the list to help make the move easier for Zelana.
