"She's a nice woman, I have talked to her a bit here and there, but not all that often." Arddra didn't know why she had not grown close to Ce'lie. As a woman she wouldn't be as worrisome as the male dragonriders but Arddra kept her in the same category as the other dragonriders rumored to have been doing the kidnapping.
Arddra barely noticed V'riy's long silence as she took the time to work out her own thoughts. She didn't know why she was feeling more comfortable around V'riy compared to even her fellow candidates. Also, she thought about her unexpected talk with S'kef the day before. It wasn't till about half way through the conversation with him did she remember he was the Weyrleader, at least till D'ren recovered or Tsuen's Gold rises again, if she does. Perhaps later Arddra will mention S'kef seemed keen on finding out who else among them wanted to return north. Arddra doubted it will ever happen unless Tsuen steps down as Weyrwoman.
"I had not considered how it would feel to learn all about bathing and caring for dragons and getting hands on experience would make not Impressing harder to take." Arddra considered how she would feel if she never Impressed and ended up too old to stand after learning how to bathe Morith. Arddra would still feel very disappointed but she would cherish the times she spent with Morith and V'riy. "For myself I will be glad to have the memory of being with you and Morith to ease any future disappointment if I never Impress."
Looking up when V'riy pointed out Morith, Arddra smiled and with a sudden unveiling of the carefree and happy person she used to be before she was kidnapped, Arddra started to run. "Race you to him!"
Though she wasn't exceptionally tall Arddra was a good sprinter, mostly from knowing how to walk very fast to avoid any unwanted lustful attentions. However she highly doubted she would outrun V'riy unless he wanted her to 'win'. Not that it mattered to her for all she wanted was to get to Morith, or at least to the edge of the river. Arddra didn't want to run into the water till she at least removed her sandals. They were leather and the water would ruin them.
"Good morning Morith, you are looking splendid today," Arddra greeted the bronze, lifting her hand up, ready to scratch his eye ridge once he decided to lower his head so she could reach.
