She wanted to show her face more often outside of being the Weyrwoman, letting the rest of the people see her as being approachable was a good thing. At least she wanted to believe that. Mostly because Okalinath kept on insisting that she could do more and succeed at it as well. Kahleena supposed that a lot of her fears and doubts were all unfounded but that was that niggling worry that wouldn't go away, even though she worked hard - well at least she thought she worked hard.
In spite of this, or perhaps because of it a lot of her relationships tended to suffer, stagnate or just end up being barely polite as a result of it. Not that she was entirely unsuccessful, she just couldn't figure out how to build on the times she did work it with someone else and make it happen in a more reliable and consistent way.
All of that was the kind of thinking that had gone, thankfully not solely on her own. Okalinath had been there, huffing and a little bit irritable but as ever an endless source of wisdom and reassurance. It was the kind of thing that she knew over the last seven years she had really started to think about how much of a different person she would have ended up being if she hadn't Impressed the lemon-colored wonder that was the wonderful dragon she adored so much. It was hardly an original kind of thinking when it came to the connection between a dragon and their rider and Kahleena hoped to build from that with the others who were going to be at this gathering that Mulrissa - no, Rissa that was what was what she preferred and it was important that she remembered it -Are you sure you are going to be alright?- she asked silently and got what was best described as a sound of satisfaction and a gentle nudge to encourage her onward into the party.
Kahleena was smartly dressed, not too formally - well she hoped not - as she arrived and walked on inside. Hopefully, this was going to lead to better and brighter things on the horizon and for the rest of the year "This was a wonderful idea" she spoke clearly and smiled as she looked at the woman who had organized all of this, it was the kind of thing she should have thought of, wasn't it? Everyone enjoyed socializing, Kahleena knew that was true in her case. So, it was hard to imagine that no one else felt the same way.
