Maerihn hadn't meant to follow the green rider nor had she meant to continue following him. She found dragons absolutely beautiful and took every opportunity to get to know a dragon rider. So long as she wasn't being annoying. She paused in front of the window of the shop the green rider disappeared into. Was she an annoying person? Was the way she went out of her way to socialize with riders annoying? She felt, and no doubt looked, mortified as B'jin noticed her and waved her in. Too late now.
Pushing aside the embarrassment, the miner's daughter smiled and moved toward the door. Her feet suddenly stopped in the momentary safety between the window and the door and took a breath. She, of course, had no idea the green dragon watched from above. The door swung open and she gave a small wave to the shop keeper before making her way to B'jin. Suddenly she realized she'd left her sweetroll and klah half eaten and half drank on the table.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to follow you like that. It has been a while since I've been to any of the weyrs." Absently, she reached out to touch one of the scarves he'd been looking at with a calloused hand. "I thought maybe we'd met before but I don't think we have." Maerihn wasn't usually a nervous talker. She wasn't usually nervous. It took her a moment as she looked from him to the blue scarf he held and back again before she took in a breath and pushed the nervousness away. She'd spoken to dragon riders many times before. There was no need for her to be nervous. When she spoke again it was with unobtrusive confidence. "That blue is lovely."
Another pause drew between them before she stuck out a strong hand. "I'm Maerihn. Most people call me Mae." The twenty year old had an easy way about her, despite the nervousness the exchange began with. Working with her father brought her from place to place, from person to person which fostered an ease of talking to new people.
