Casa laughed loudly, her eyes sparkling. "Oh, yes. I would be quite happy with a Gold, mind you - its what is expected of me and all that. But a Green...yes, that would be quite the surprise for many." She sighed and rolled her eyes, snuggling back in the warm water up to her shoulders. "Many men think women are too delicate, too soft to ride a chromatic dragon - that only Golds will do. I know Golds are important, but some of us girls could totally work out on a green or blue! We're not all soft!"
She paused, looking Arddra over. "Not that your too soft or girly. I...erm." She paused, tongue tied. "You are a lady, but you are a good one. You don't seem all prissy and whiny." She hoped that came across as a compliment, cringing at her inability to really get her point across in a more sensible way. "I like you anyway," she added lamely to the end.
"As for growing up in the Weyr...well, you get used to dragons very fast, that is true." It was next to impossible not to get used to them. Flights, Wing practices, Hatchings - they were everywhere, and it was simply part of life. She felt sympathetic to the poor woman, having been snatched up and carried away. No wonder she didn't seem to like it here too much. Casa made it her task to be as friendly as possible to the woman and make her feel more at home.
"I bet you'll Impress a Gold. And you'll never have to be alone then. And you'll feel at home and happy and welcome." She nodded reassuringly, and Knack chirruped an echo of content and welcome, rubbing his little head against her arm affectionately.
