Trelanvor didn't know who or what Arddra had left behind in the North. He knew a few had been separated from spouses and children and that did not seem right. He at least had no lasting attachments or commitments. When dragonriders were taking people from the North though they hadn't really stopped to ask about that sort of thing. "Yes and who knows one day we may get to return North and see our families again." He gave her a cheerful grin. The kidnapping wasn't a very happy topic for most. He had no desire to reopen any wounds, though from what he could understand Arddras had never really healed in the first place.
He nodded in agreement with her words. "I can't wait either. It is why we were brought South after all. It would be kind of rotten if we don't impress." Trading his past lief for that of a dragonrider seemed fair enough. Having that taken away and getting nothing in return would be much harder to handle. "I suppose it's harder for your lot though. You get to stand for maybe one egg per clutch and once it hatches and the Gold impresses your stuck waiting until the next one. Not that I've done any better." Despite having a larger number of eggs that could possibly contain his lifemate he still hadn't impressed.
"Hey you could end up with a Brownrider to." He pointed out. "As long as your not the Weyrwoman you can probably let your own preference influence your dragon. Besides Golds only fly like once or twice a year so it's not like you'll be inconvenienced all that often. Not like a lot of Greens that rise ever few months, even that's not so bad." Obviously Arddra's opinions about such things differed a bit from his own. Trel was an occasional flight moth, though he couldn't recall having ever noticed Arddra around when a Green or Gold rose. In truth he wasn't very observant during such times.
Trlenavor gave a good natured chuckle, "No not at all." He assured her. "Hmmm really? At this point I am past being picky about color. I definitely wouldn't turn down a Blue or Green if one wanted me. Bronze and Browns are pretty impressive, though I really don't want to end up as the Weyrleader and stuck with Tsuen." He shuddered, making a face at the thought. "She'd probably just love someone young and handsome."
