“And I'll do the same. As soon as it gets warm enough, Tesamyth will start begging me to take her.” Ambrya smiled indulgently. “And I've never been able to resist her.” She had quite a few friends herself, mostly girls she had grown up with in the creche, but none of them had dragons and now that she was a goldrider, a subtle distance had grown between them. They still had fun together but it wasn't the same.
She was above them in status now, no longer just a lowly weyrbrat. She supposed that her friends' aloofness was one of the drawbacks of impressing so young. One day, perhaps some of them would become dragonriders too and then they would have more in common with her. Ambrya felt lonely sometimes for the company of people close to her own age. Spending time with T'ryn and his friends would be fun.
She fed Scarlet another meatroll to keep her busy while they looked around the rug stall, for there were quite a few red ones on display. Staying away from those, she found a matching set of pretty purple and mulberry rugs with golden accents that would go well with the fabric she had just bought. The larger one could go in the middle of her weyr, the medium one under her desk, and the smallest one would look good in front of her bed.
“I found a set that will match the couch cover I plan to make for Tesamyth.” Her eyes widened when she saw the price tag on the largest one, but luckily, she had enough marks to afford all three of them. Now she was glad that she had saved most of the marks she had received in the past couple of years. She could splurge on something she really wanted.
“Those are lovely,” she told T'ryn when he picked up the two he had chosen and brought them over to the merchant. After he had finished his transaction, she indicated the purple and mulberry set with a wave of one hand. Though she could have lifted the smallest one, the other two were too heavy. “I'll take these, and please hold them for me too.”
She paid the shopkeeper and watched him remove the rugs she had purchased to the back of the stall before turning back to T'ryn. “Is there anything in particular that you want to look for next?” she asked him.
