Egg 18 - Ambition:
What does ambition mean? Do you have it?
The questions weren't specifically asked, but Faeli felt the impression of them all the same and frowned at the dragonet she couldn't see. She supposed ambition was having a desire to reach for the goal, whatever it might be. So, before she could ask herself if she was ambitious, she needed to figure out what the goal was.
There had been a Touching roughly a year ago that had a little fellow encouraging her to be a Healer so she could help her friends like she wished she could after all of the attacks. But it turned out she didn't have a head for remembering such things and lacked the stomach to hold herself together when she saw blood. So she had ambition. Once. Then it fell through and Faeli realised she was back to her old ways of just... existing.
She didn't think she was useless or in the way and did the chores asked of her, but what was a long term goal? Impressing gold and becoming a Weyrwoman? Faeli snorted. Not likely! That was well above her reach for so many reasons and that thought alone showed how unambitious she really was. But she was still young! What was the rush? Besides, any dreams she might try to have likely revolved around Impressing and Impressing green or blue and becoming a Searchrider was a very different goal than what she could aim for as a goldrider.
Maybe she could start small and work on her sewing. It was something she enjoyed and it could even benefit the Weyr, even if only in a small way. Maybe she could make something the leadership would wear to meetings with Lords! That would be pretty cool, and Faeli smiled as she thanked the dragonet for giving her yet another nudge and something to try for.
Seeing that the line for the gold egg was moving along, Faeli figured it was a good time to go for it next and then try a couple of other eggs. That first interaction risked ruining her mood and time at the Touching, but she was in great spirits once more and couldn't wait to meet more of the babies.
