Ambition had never been for Lia. She had really only been hoping for a green, maybe a blue, but just a partner who could give her more purpose than bearing children who may have their own ambitions to foster. Not that she would ever complain for a moment that Laniath had chosen her. Her heart would forever be tied to her, and even if it's elevated her to a position she never truly dreamed of, no one would have her heart like the gold.
She didn't mind the heat of the weyr. Not really. It was drier than she was used to, but it sure beat having to deal with snow at any point of the winter. She didn't sleep well during the day, though she did occasionally sleep in until you could no longer call it 'morning'. With that, here she was. nearly bumping into the Weyrleader of all people, who only seemed to offer a cheerful response. That was nice.
"Ah, well, I perhaps don't sleep at the times most people do here. I'd call myself an 'early riser', but I'm not sure if late morning still counts? Maybe it's just here, it's..." She trailed off, the train of thought getting lost in the rest of the jumble of her mind. "Oh, the fish hate the heat as much as we do. If the aim is to actually catch something, later tonight is probably going to be better. For you as much as for a lucrative expedition."
Be sure to tell our Weyrleader I said hello. I'll be fine here, doing absolutely nothing...
"Nia- sorry, Laniath says hello. She won't say it, but she's as bored out of her mind as I am. And... a snack sounds nice, would you mind the company? Since neither of us have really pressing things to attend to, and I don't think we've had a chance to catch up since... well, a long time, anyway." Not that she would have considered them close, but they were never very far apart in age. Having grown up in Katila, especially, fostered a more close-knit community feel. At least to her.
"Oh, I'm... well, I sprained my ankle the other day, that was a pain... but it's getting better. Orgailian was nice enough to help me back to my weyr, and of course, the fussy gold called the healers for me, but it was to be expected." She'd like to think the pain wasn't, but clumsy was something of a regular occurrence for her. "We're settling in nicely aside from that hiccup, though. It's not too dissimilar to what we've already been used to. I like it, anyway."
