Subject: Feast?

The now four original Weyrbrats looked around the Lower Caverns, and were pleased to find their table from last time empty. Happily, the little foursome made their way towards the table, which was set for a great many deal more than four. Of course, they expected Salty and Terent, the newest members, to show up soon, but they also had seats for a couple more.

“Why do we need so much space?” Faini asked, stroking her golden Skyi affectionately.
“Well, we do sometimes get unexpected guests.” Shadow suggested in his normal quiet, almost menacing way.
“Especially K’rea.” Graythorn said. K’rea and Graythorn had been best friends for quite a while. “He has to sit with us, or I’ll flay him alive.”
“Now, now, Graythorn,” Cara said as she, Faini and Shadow all sighed. K’rea had been their friend for what seemed like forever, and loosing him to Impression was hard, even though they knew he was lucky and happy. “You know he’s not, um, exactly a member anymore. He’ll always be a friend, though.” She added quickly as Graythorn gave her a death-stare.
Graythorn sighed as he cooled down. “Yeah… I know, but… I just…” he sighed heavily. “I don’t want him to leave.”
“He’s not really gone,” Faini offered, smiling weakly at Graythorn and putting an arm around him. “You know, we’ll still see him, he just can’t be a member.”
“I know…” Graythorn sighed. “After all, that’s why we made the group…”
“So that we’d spend every second together, in our own family.” They all finished together. Even Shadow gave a small smile.
“Yeah… you know, it seems like forever since we made our vows.” Graythorn smiled reminiscently. “Cara, Faini, Shadow, Korea, me… all of us together.” He looked at them all in turn as he said their names. “We were always aware that one day there could be a Gr’thorn, or Sh’dow, or K’rea… or a Cara or Faini rider.” He added to the girls. “But, I guess I never believed it until now. Who knows? Maybe someday there’ll be a T’rent and S’lty.”
“That wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, you know,” Cara said cautiously. “But, we will stay together as long as we can.”
They all nodded, but all thought inside of how weird it was that they were missing Korea, and how he was never coming back to the group. There was no Korea now. There was K’rea, and he was all Korea was… only a Rider, not a ‘Brat.
“On a happier note,” Faini said as Skyi took off. “Skyi is going to look for Salty and Terent. Maybe we can invite what’s-her-name, Salty’s sister?”
“Sure,” Cara said, shrugging. “If Salty can trust her, so can we.”
So, they waited, hopeful that Skyi would find their other members and that K’rea would be there.
