“What is it, Iro?” Elly asked the brown fire-lizard who came to rest on her shoulder, chattering in her ear. Conveying as best he could that she and her brother were wanted in the Lower Caverns by a gold fire-lizard, he made his human frown, and she turned to her brother.
[Who would want us in the Lower Caverns?] She asked him. [Iro says it is a queen lizard, but I don’t understand him.]
Salty frowned in thought, but then snapped his fingers when he realised. [Faini – F-A-I-N-I – has one. It is probably her.]
[One of the group?] Elly asked, rising to her feet. Her brother followed suit, nodding.
It was second nature for the two to use Elly’s sign language when they were alone. At home it was the only way they could communicate without annoying their father – he always had a hangover – and their way of making sure their mother didn’t know what they were planning. She had never bothered to learn her daughter’s hand signs, because their father disapproved of them.
The two left Salty’s quarters, where they had been having a bit of peace and quiet, and med their way to the Lower Caverns. The tall boy crossed to the weyrbrats’ table instantly, Elly only just behind him.
“Alright?” Salty greeted them in his usual fashion, sliding into a seat at the table and encouraging Elly to do the same. “Was it your flit that sent for us, Faini?”
