He supposed it was a bit quieter that morning, but it didn’t seem odd to him since he knew a Gather had started that day. What was odd was the way the hand lightly brushed his back causing A’tay to shiver and sit up a bit straighter. Given some of his friends, he should have been used to random touching by now. “Fort Hold’s harvest Gather started today. Many like to get there early to buy the needed supplies before going back later on to simply enjoy the festive mood.” He didn’t need anything personally and when he offered to help out with cargo duty, he was greeted with varying looks of shock. A bronzerider did not run pelts and flour back and forth! That’s what they had greens and blues for.
“Anyway, sorry to say you found a boring boy that entertains himself with quieter activities and wood-carving.” He held the little chess piece out on his palm for Zelly to see it better. He was working on a dragon at the moment since that was something he had practiced carving the most and was proud enough of the work to show it off. “I’m okay with my hands,” A’tay was rather observant but sometimes the obvious still flew over his head and he replied with innocent intent. “There’s a former senior journeyman in Telgar Weyr that trained me and he’s amazing! I’m kind of pushing my comfort zone right now by making chess boards for my brother and a friend of ours.”
He set the little dragon down on the table to join its companion that he had completed a week ago and was using as a reference for the current one. Symmetry on a piece was tough enough but symmetry between two pieces was driving him insane. “What things do you like to do?” He asked as he turned to face the woman and blushed at how close she was to him.
