"I have been here for three years now, it's not as bad as it was before," Arddra spent most of her first six months frantic, practically ready to swim to the far shore to get away from Candidate Island and escape. Fortunately she didn't do it as she didn't really know how to swim. If she knew how to build a raft she might have tore down a building for the wood. Eventually she calmed and did what was expected of her and agreed not to try to escape so she could get off the island and move in with the others.
"It would be nice to get in contact with them but we are forbidden to do so. Tsuen has made it perfectly clear no contact with the North is permissible. Till that changes I have no way to know if my mother and sister are still alive. For all I know they may think I am dead and finished grieving for me."
She frowned when the young man told her not to be stupid. Maybe she didn't know exactly how dragonets picked their bonded but she doubted one would hatch just for her if it wasn't aware of her existence before it fell onto the sands from it's egg. Yet some dragonets did go Between in past hatchings. Was there somebody up north who just lost their other self?
"I don't want any dragonet to go Between. I love animals, they shouldn't suffer due to the follies of men...or women."
"The pie won't be ready for another half mark," Arddra told him and smiled. "If you like, to pass the time we can always just clean up. We can continue talking as we clean up."
