"Brave words for someone within elbowing distance." She grumbled softly, but didn't intend to make good on her threat. She'd chalk it up to being in pain later, maybe even try to make it up to him, but her bark had always been worse than her bite. Lia hated the healers. While they did good work, they also always seemed to put her on edge in a way she couldn't really explain. Laniath would see to it that one came to her anyway, tended to her ankle and set her on the path to recovery in a week or so, her anxiety would surely shine through the entire encounter. She half wished one of her siblings had transferred to Igen, if only to have someone sit with her while the healers fussed.
She's quiet for a moment before uttering a soft-spoken ‘thank you’ as they change trajectory. Laniath hadn’t started to find a healer yet, but she was sure that would be something that changed the moment they got back to her weyr. At least being somewhere that had become familiar might ease that anxiety a little. “Oh, if they ask, you were a great help, I didn’t have to pull rank, and not seeing the healers was my decision. It’s not like that’s a lie; it probably would have sucked to walk back on my own.” Uneven sand, the long walk back to her weyr, she probably would have hurt herself more if she even tried.
She shrugged once, “I mean, it’s not like there’s much to do during the day that can’t be done at night anyway. I’m pretty sure half the leadership has become nocturnal, at this point, it’s just not something that comes easy to me.” She didn’t know if it really mattered, as new as Igen was and as relaxed as things seemed there. She still wasn't entirely sure what rules there were for candidates. She really ought to look into that. "You're smart enough to not get caught if it is a rule. I don't see why it would be, though, as hot as this place gets. Night time is the only time it's bearable. Gorgeous views, but fuck, that heat is relenting."
