Subject: -Polite introductions-

Between congratulating the newly Impressed and talking to the few people she knew, Tsuga had somehow managed to acquire for herself a plate of food and a glass of wine. She began looking for a table immediately, but was disappointed to see that the only one with any space seemed to be on the other side of several of the newest Weyrlings, which meant she’d have to stop and mingle with them before she could get to any serious eating. So, stifling a sigh, the young goldrider set out, weaving through the crowded room as best she could with her confining skirts, doing her best to avoid stepping on or kicking them, until she finally managed to reach a group of two youngsters, apparently siblings, and their flits and dragons. The woman checked briefly to make sure that her cheerful smile hadn’t slipped, and then approached, beaming at them in a friendly manner. Wait . . . was that . . .? There was a young gold hatchling standing beside the girl, obviously the one she’d Impressed.

{So, that’s the new goldrider pair, hmm?}

[Yes, I suppose so. Do you know their names? Perhaps I should introduce myself . . ..]

{No, afraid I don’t. But go say ‘hi’ anyways. I’m sure the girl wouldn’t mind talking to an older rider.}

Tsuga still felt reluctant, but she had to admit that Alestiath had a point. Very few people shunned the company of a dragon rider, let alone someone that had Impressed a gold. Even if she wasn’t a Weyrwoman, and probably never had a chance to be. So, still smiling, the brown-haired young woman approached, pausing a polite distance from the group and clearing her throat to make her presence known. When they turned to look at her, she made her grin broaden, seemingly trying to split her face in two, and nodded a greeting.

”Hello there. Just thought I should come say congratulations to our newest goldrider.”

She started to offer her hand in greeting, and then seemed to remember her plate and goblet. So, she worked her way around the pair of humans and their many friends, set both down, and turned back to them with an apologetic smile and offered her hand to first the girl, and then the boy, as she made introductions.

”I’m Tsuga, rider of gold Alestiath.” Once she’d finished saying that, she bent down, smoothing her gold-embroidered tan skirts as she knelt on the floor and looked the smaller gold in the eye with a smile, mentally checking her over to be sure that she hadn’t been injured breaking out of her shell. ”And who is this?”

((OOC: Hey, hope you don't mind me butting in! Tsuga got bored . . ..))
