Ojeth, do congratulate Shrineth for me. I haven't seen Wessae yet.
/As you command, O master./
Ever sarcastic, aren't you?
/But of course, 'tat./

The senior brownrider ran a hand through his greying blonde hair. The Hatching Feast was about to begin, as soon as Wessae made a speech, and such the like. However, T'rtatus wasn't really interested in the speeches. Nor did he really care about meeting the new weyrlings, to be frank, though he knew he would have to sometime. No, T'rtatus was here to see an old friend of his- Rinali, rider of gold Lilith.
A drudge- one of his bronzerider brother B'nederra's female friends- came to ask him what he wanted to eat and drink.
"My usual- roasted herdbeast, fresh brewed klah, and a little wine."
"Sir, we are out of the small flasks of wine. Would you like the klah to be laced with wine, or will a larger flask suffice?" the drudge, Jizzera, asked.
T'rtatus nearly groaned. One of the few times he indulged in alchohol, and they run out!
/Aw, stop your grousing. It's not the end of Pern./
Faranth forbid.
"I suppose a larger flask will suffice, Jizzera. But do tell Gisella that I am sorely disappointed."
"Will do, Brown rider."
Jizzera left quickly, as if frightened. Frightened? T'rtatus was hardly scary, being dressed in a slightly nicer version of his usual garb. The dark red tunic he wore over his long-sleeved off-white shirt was only slightly stained, and his beaded belt was brand new.
Shrugging it off, T'rtatus took a seat near a large group of people- weyrlings, it looked like. Good. They were starting to feel the camraderie the came with flying in a wing.
/Thread Falls here soon, T'rtatus./
And don't I know it. I hope that Weyrleader T'bel does put us in compatable positions.
/Unlike the time we were wing thirds?/
Well, I had no objection over that, it was more the fact that I had a blue weyrling for a wingleader!
/Too true. I also found that annoying. Fortunately, some brave soul brought it to the weyrleader's attention, and he put us as wingleaders./
You think I was proud of that?
/Weren't you?/
Well, mostly. But I don't think we were a better choice than F'resk. Remember him, rider of bronze Rath?
/How could I forget? He was so terribly annoying, I wanted to bite his head off./

Jizzera came with his food, put it down, and left quickly. Tat paid her rudeness little mind, for this would serve as both brekfastand lunch, as well as dinner. He rarely ate before Hatching Feasts.

((Um, yeah. He really would like to talk to one Rinali, rider of Lilith. But anyone else is fine too!))
