"I don't think it's a matter of some women being delicate, but because of children." Here Arddra knew she failed miserable. "Not that most common women who work hard in the smaller holds or just don't come from privilege don't manage to have children and still to labor. I think men, especially dragonriders just want women to be weak so they can't be challenged by them. Even goldriders don't do much..supposedly they did fight Thread with flamethrowers but if Thread never returns, I doubt we would even be trained in it and just kept in bed to make babies."
"I hope we both get the dragon we want and need and sooner rather than later." Arddra quickly moved away from the topic of babies. She failed to even get pregnant after nearly three years of marriage and her husband certainly didn't fail in his duty to wife. He shared her bed every night save the nights of her flow. He didn't like laying with her during that time and Arddra didn't mind. She did wish he would still sleep in the same bed, having his warm body next to hers would have been welcome. How she missed Fosorcim, she truly did care for him even if he was an arranged marriage. In her heart she knew he was dead but when she was kidnapped he was alive..but very sick.
Knack's chirp of welcome drew he away from her sad recollections and reminded her of what Casa said. Arddra knew for her own sanity and to find any kind of happiness she had to embrace her new life here. There was likely nothing for her in the North anymore but she still wanted to know for certain. Taking a deep breath and resumed stroking the little fire lizard's soft hide then looked over at Casa.
"I like you Casa, I hope we can become good friends. I probably take awhile to really open up but I have a feeling we will be loyal friends. I have been here for three years, Katila is starting to feel more like a place of great potential. Impressing a dragon will make it home, I am sure."
