Skipping to slow herself down, Aederyn smiled lopsidedly, still not quite sure of herself with casual introductions. “Yes, thanks. Happy to enjoy the last bits of summer while I can.” It didn’t matter how long she had been in the Weyr, or how long much she had been around dragons, she still felt in complete awe, and if she was being honest, a little unworthy, when in such close proximity to them. She couldn’t help but gape at the gold, not even a year old and already significantly taller at the shoulder than the full grown blues she’d met.
Her rider also caught her by surprise, seeming close in age to herself, and a surprising few inches taller. She idly reflected that while she was taller among hold and craft folk, she was among the shorter, or at least average, women in the Weyrs.
“I don’t think we’ve actually met. I’m Aederyn. I’m new—well, new-ish—here. And…” she trailed off and shook her head. No sense in spewing her life history. It wasn’t relevant and she didn’t want this woman to think her crazy. “Long story short, R’dare recommended you and your leather work. Have you ever made anything for fire lizards? If you’re willing, I’d like a message pouch or tube for my little brown.” She raised her arm out to the side, but put it down when Rudi didn’t immediately appear, likely otherwise occupied. Chewing her lip, she shrugged. “He’s around here somewhere, and usually comes when called. He likes the dragons, so he’ll show up soon, I’m sure.”
