Jada had seen many scowls when she got into cheek-pinching, and many of these scowls had been fierce. For some reason (which, Jada acutely remembered feeling the same, so she tried not to judge!) cheek-pinching existed in antithesis to happiness. Indivara was one of those with a fairly effective glare; it communicated disdain and there may even be the promise of retaliation in the depths of those glittering blue gems. It was more than a glower; it didn't strike her as a sullen expression. Did the technical term matter? The point was there. Indi didn't like cheek pinching. And to each their own; the Harper had no intention of pressing pinching the issue.
"I don't see why they don't just go back up North. They are taking the dragons up that way anyway, exposing them to the remnants of the Plague. And what if the disease had been spread in another method, or lingers? if it is fear that keeps them here, it is silly." Jada paused, wondering if she sounded sulky about it. She didn't think so, but who knew how a born Katilan would take her criticism? "I was born in Harper Hall, near where Fort Weyr is. And I lived there most of my life, until I was stationed briefly near Ruatha Hold. It's a beautiful area." The trees had been thick and leafy, the mountains had towered high and strong. The sky hadn't been as blue as here in Katila, and she had seen more clouds, but...
"The air wasn't as sweet, but it was home." Jada said finally. "Everyone should get to see it once." She'd seen it once. Would she ever see it again, though? She grinned down at Indivara and then said, "If you want more we'll have to talk about it another time." it was a shame, she was very much enjoying the conversation. But she had lessons to attend and more people to talk to. "Maybe you can stay after class next time, too, and we can chat while bad children do the work."
