It was interesting to try and guess what Indivara was thinking, almost more so than actually paying attention to what she was saying. Her face was animated and expressive. Jada couldn't stop herself. The cheeks were there, red and rosy, animated, set below eyes that sparkled with joy and liveliness. Cheeks so plump and lush they were just begging for it. And who was Jada to deny such a cute little cheek? She reached out with one hand, and tweaked. She couldn't stop her laugh, so Jada didn't try. She was enjoying the child's company, but then, Jada had always liked younger people. Even as a child herself, she had taken those younger under her wing.
"That sounds like a lot more work than I was thinking." she admitted at last. "I can see why they keep track of a lot of it, I suppose. They have an entire Weyr to care for with the things that they take from the North, and they want to make sure they don't steal too many people from one craft too quickly; they'd get noticed." she tapped her fingers against her leg thoughtfully.
Then she winced. "I pity the girl who Impresses that Gold." she said at last. "I think you're right. Doesn't sound fun at all!"
