((OOC: Ignore poor Shrineth. She's just grumpy cause I am. *sigh* Looks like she'll never get to fly. Plus she's a scootch stuck up. Just a scootch. She doesn't hate Grenith, promise. ;) ))


"Calm down, no one is blaming you." Wessae says soothingly, seeing how upset the rider was. Seeing how worked up she had made him, she regretted talking about the consequences of green clutches. But she knew they were true. She had heard stories in her lessons of greens clutching, dying in the birthing, horrible eyeless, blind, deformed things crawling out of the eggs. Granted, they were just stories she supposed, meant to scare greenriders into feeding their greens firestone by the wherbeastload. Goodness knows Evelene's green had fairly normal if slightly modified eggs. But the very real consequences of allowing greens to clutch could smack you in the face. Not enough food for a weyr, for example. But with these nine eggs, she doubted that would happen here. She would just have to drive home that this would not happen again.

I will just have a smaller clutch when I fly, Shrineth says as she mulls with Wessae over the issue. Small but quality.

As if you could control that sort of thing, love. Wessae returns lovingly with a small inward smile for her dragon.

"It's her decision to keep the eggs, not mine, G'rein. What kind of Weyrwoman would I be if I dictated or passively allowed the eradication of any dragon, born or unborn?" She shivers slightly at the thought. "Besides she's right, our blue numbers are down. And Grenith, they aren't 'just' greens and blues. There's no belittling of anyone. Shrineth is grumbling but she's got a good heart. She's just a bit of a snob." A loud 'hmph!' is the general feeling from the sunning queen on the heights.

"But you're straight back to chewing firestone after this, you know Grenith. We don't want to put you through that again, the strain of clutching. We've got a good group here to make sure no one harms your eggs or you, so just take care of your clutch. And G'rein, take care of your dragon. You two need each other. If you would like, I'll send one of the weyrlings to attend to you. I'd get my brother but he's er...tied up at the moment. You look like you could use a good dose of klah, G'rein. And we can bring down some bedding so you can be with her day and night if you like. Just let me know."

Biting her lip, Wessae wonders how S'sha or Ginny would have handled this, and then decides that knowing wouldn't help her now. Because she had to handle this herself, and she was doing it her own way.
