Jada's brow creased in concern and immediate worry for her Weyrwoman when she heard that Tsuen hadn't been feeling too well. It was good to hear that she wasn't ill, but drained wasn't much better. "All work and no play could make Tsuen a very stressed girl." she said it with a playful wag of her finger, and a wry grin. "At least she'll have a bit of extra help soon enough. I'm very good at paperwork, I think you'll find." Mention of the baby had Jada's face quickly shifting even further in a positive, upbeat direction. "I have been wanting to meet her. She looks so adorable, and I've heard she is such a good baby too! Just chock full of smiles for everybody!" Just like her parents, actually. Hmmm, maybe it was a family thing.
Jada blew a puff of air out her mouth. "I didn't even notice any changes this time. I remember greenriders talking about a 'proddy' period, but other than this morning she hadn't been out of sorts at all. And even this morning could have been attributed to the heat, or any number of things." D'ren, however, was hardly the person to be talking about for those answers, so Jada filed them away for future consideration when she had another dragonrider about. "But that will be... at least a few months away. Dragons never Rise again before their old clutch has Hatched. Do they?" That would be terrible.
When he answered the question that had been gnawing at her, however, she couldn't hide the relief that crossed her face. Or the flash of genuine sorrow. "When she's older, it won't be as necessary." An excuse she was making to herself as much as to him. When Krypth was older, Jada would be able to take her body into her own hands, and on Krypth's wings. She swallowed, thinking ahead. Don't stumble at your first block.
"Now," she glanced at him sidelong, then took another bite and swallowed before continuing with "I believe you had told me I would be permitted to join in the selection of who would be allowed to Stand and Touch when Krypth Rose?"
