“The latter.” Mulrissa sighed. “A month and a half should be fine. I don’t want Holders to get in the habit of trying to offload their troublesome children on us whenever is convenient for them. She can wait a month and a half, and if the Searchriders don’t choose her daughter, well,” Mulrissa shook her head. “ Really, from the way this woman describes her daughter I can’t imagine she won’t end up in a Weyr one way or another within the next few Turns, it just may not be in as respectable a fashion as her mother would like.”
Mulrissa tilted her head to consider the area S’far was gesturing to as he described his shelving plans. She couldn’t see whatever he was envisioning as clearly as he could, certainly, but S’far’s description was sufficient for her to get the idea. Truly she didn’t need two shelves there, but they wouldn’t hurt, and it was a good location to display a few items where guests could see them. Maybe she could swap pieces in and out depending on the guest. Perhaps a useful strategy.
“If she doesn’t like ‘a month and a half’ as an answer, I will send her your way for that stern word, though I’d hate to interrupt your shelf making. I’m sure the shelves will be far more pleasing to deal with,” Rissa said dryly, trying not to be too disdainful towards the mildly annoying Holder. She was far too polite to suggest S’far beat the woman with the shelves if she got too annoying, though the thought did occur to her.
