Subject: I've been waiting FOREVER to post this!!!

((Sorry this took so long!!! DS's com is broked for mow, and mine was acting up... so we'll try to post. DS keeps sending me her posts, and that's how they get through... But, anyway, the ciom trouble gave us time to write Halzay and Salzay together, so here we go!... unless DS wants to add anything?
Nope. Let's just get this overwith.
You heard her! Let's get going.))

A young greenrider, over all no more than twenty turns, was gripping the hand of a small, four-turn-old child, and gave her a look of love only a mother could give. The woman was tall, and thin, and very beautiful. THe shoulder knots on her tunic designated her a greenrider, and right now she talked with the one that made her so.

'Did you pick a wyer, Elizabeth?'

{Yes, Halzay. It's at the top, and our only neighbors are a few greenriders and an attached bronze. No blues in sight.}

'You're wonderful, Lizzie.'

{I know.}

Halzay gave a small smile at this, though she looked around worriedly. Halzay hated switching weyrs, but she had so many problems against weyrmates that it was almost impossible to stop moving. Here, an New Isle, she had been told she should have better luck. Well, she thought, they'd find out soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slazay looked around with her giant, dark eyes curiously, though still holding Mommy's hand tight. Though SAlzay was no stranger to life in a weyr,--she had, after all, been born and raised in several of them!--had they just passed a female weyrling with the knots of a bluerider? Salzay had never seen a female that rode a blue! Could't they only get greens and golds?

She smiled to Mommy, and looked around intently. It was so cool here!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Halzay looked around, and spied an empty table. Making sure no one was heading towards it, she walked over, and sat at an available chair, bringing Salzay up into her lap. She gently started to bounce the girl in her lap, and smiled to her.

"So, Sally, what do you want to eat today?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Salzay laughed as she dodged out of the way of a passing greenrider. Salzay wanted to ride a dragon one day, just like Mommy! She knew green and goldriders were good; they were Mommy's friends. However, Mommy was scared of blue and brownriders, and even bronzeriders, too! SO, were they bad? Salzay didn't know, but maybe, if mommy feared them.

Mommy said she was afraid because Salzay's Daddy was mean. Not all Daddy's were, but hers was. Salzay didn't know why. However, she knew he was bad. He still made Mommy cry sometimes, even if she hadn't seen him since after she herself had been born!

Salzay laughed cheerfully as Mommy bounced her, and thought about the question. "Can I have woast wherrie?" She asked, messing up her r's. She loved the spicy treat from their last Weyr.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Halzay smiled. "Of course, honney." She said, and waited for a drudge to come by. She didn't even remember to look around at who was nearby, like she always did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Halzay might have forgotten to look around, but the little girl didn't. Looking around, she frowned at the sight of a nearby man that, by his shoulder knots, was a bluerider. he looked just like her! Dark eyes, dark hair, tanned skin... even tall! HOwever, Salzay shook it off, not realizing it was her own father she looked at; S'peer.

((Ok, GC! Come and get us!
Yes! Come! NOW!))
