He realised they had never really spoken about the Flight since it happened and A’tay was relieved to hear Cazan still wasn’t bothered by the outcome. He kind of assumed that to be so given the amount of visits they had and the kindness she was showing even now, but it was good to have actual verbal confirmation all the same. Immediately after the Flight, he knew they had both enjoyed Xyxyth winning and took advantage of those feelings but that could have been part of regrets or anger at them winning as well. “Me too,” he agreed with a smile as he watched Malvayth settle back down for a bit before returning to the topic of pants.
He honestly hadn’t ever put a lot of thought into the colours he wore. Thinking on his wardrobe, he supposed it was a bit limited in variety as he stuck to the basics that were easy to pair up with anything else he owned. Cazan’s ideas sounded fun but he was having trouble picturing exactly what they would look like as well, especially with the stitching. This was definitely not an area he had much knowledge in. But Cazan did and he would trust her judgement. Besides, she just said that a change in clothing could be all that was needed to view the world differently. Maybe it would give him confidence or he would find his passion for more than wood-carving? “I defer to you on such decisions but… purple sounds fun. Maybe that will be my power colour.” He wouldn’t need powerful tight leather pants, just a colour. That idea made him smile and shake his head. He was being silly but it was a fun idea to cling to all the same.
“You know that on top of Malvayth’s flower box, I’m going to have to make something for you as well.” He didn’t know what he would make Cazan just yet or if he would get both projects done before the Hatching but A’tay was determined to give them something each. They were being so kind to him and Xyxyth and surely Cazan had a long list of commissions she could be working on instead of making him something. So they deserved something as well. It wouldn’t be much, but maybe he could start with a container to hold her writing utensils on her desk. Or she can have the first box he finished that he liked the carving on. That could be a bit more multi-purpose.
But his ideas did mean he would have to talk with S’far. There were other wood workers in Telgar but his own Weyrleader had told him to check in with S’far for pointers and maybe get some mentor lessons in while at Telgar. He wanted to regret making the decision to finally sign up for it but he’d be lying to himself. It was interesting and did give him a sort of purpose and maybe feel a bit more like a bronzerider. He doubted he would ever be a Second, let alone an actual Weyrleader, but it didn’t hurt to learn something new.
