Berani, Weyrbrat age 4
Berani was excited to see her friends! Rhae and Aradissicath were amoung her favorite adults, and truthfully were only outranked by B'jin. She didn't see Shanith croon happily at the nod, then back up before taking off so that noone would have sand or water blown all over them.
She heard her mother talking, didn't hear the exact words, though gratitude in her tone told her that it was a thank you. She saw her mother leave shortly after, grateful Rhae had hugged her back.
When she had let go and Berani was looking up at her, she was asked what she would like to do. The four year old thought a moment, then remembered what she had been reminded she wanted to do before playing.
First though, she waved to Aradissicath. She liked the greens that were so common around the weyr, but the golds were beautiful. Someday, she'd have a gold of her own! She didn't care that her mom had looked sad and worried when she had told her she wanted one, she would have a gold dragon of her own someday. In the meantime, Aradissicath was the most wonderful gold there was!
Then she shyly tugged a book from the bag she carried. She had worked with her mother on this for a few sevendays, her mother doing the writing and Berani the drawings. The story was one of her favorites, about a man who had made himself ugly out of meanness, and about the woman who had taught him kindness and love, and in the end had made him beautiful again and saved him with her love.
It was an old story, but it was one she often requested be told to her at night before bed and one she thought Rhaedalyn would like. Ravana had let her choose the story for this. Berani offered it to Rhae quietly, hoping the woman would like what was meant to be a birthday gift. Ravana had even helped Berani write Rhaedalyn's name on the inside cover!
She kept working out what she would like to do. Her mother had given her a bunch of tiny plush animals for her birthday and using them to play pretend was her favorite but it was hard to play pretend with others when you couldn't tell them what you were pretending. She wasn't sure if Aradissicath could hear her think, though if she could she could play too! Shanith couldn't always hear her think and she was her own mother's dragon. She'd come up with an idea if her favorite game didn't work though. Berani was good at going with the flow!
