Casa's face tightened when she heard the relayed message, but her expression went slack when she heard what the brown-riding weyrling said. All of her emotions were roiling through her at once - fear, rage, disbelief. This wasn't how things were supposed to happen. This was a bad, bad idea.
She stepped up to Kela, lying an easy hand on the canine's neck as she watched. Even the brown seemed unsure what to do; everything seemed to be in a frozen, warped point in time, and she had no idea what was going to happen next. T'ken was going to be in trouble. He was going to get hurt. She couldn't allow that! But she was just a candidate - she had no right to stand up to any of the people here, especially not the Weyrwoman, but she found herself agreeing with T'ken. The woman was being nothing but a bully.
Hurry, hurry, get someone quick - trouble, trouble, trouble! Her words and emotions flung wildly through the firelizards, sending them scurrying to find someone who could at least keep this situation in check. She was genuinely afraid that someone was going to be hurt or worse, and that was the very last thing the Weyr needed right now. Especially with a crazed Weyrwoman at the head of the whole thing.
