Cometer and Hythe. Those sounded like female names, so Tath nodded warily when Nerilki asked him if he�d like to stay. If they had been male, he would have made some excuse and got out of the greenrider�s weyr as quickly as possible. Even if she was there as well, it wouldn�t stop Tathan being noticed. And once he was noticed, in his experience, only misery would follow. So the young man made up his mind that the moment any other male come in, he would leave. It was as simple as that.

�Are you sure, miss?� He asked nervously, forgetting to use her fist name as she had asked. He was talking to the heir of Southern Boll, for Faranth�s sake! How could he call her by her given name? �And�and maybe if you wanted to ask a rider, you could ask a nice one?� Not that Tathan knew any of the riders. Well, he knew those two who had come to the rescue of the holdless group � a bronze and a green rider � but he hadn�t spoken to them since then. They were both male, so he stayed out of their ways.

Biting his lip, Tath looked steadfastly down at the wool in his lap. Nerilki�s hair was so long�most of the holdless women kept theirs shorter, so that it didn�t get too tangled or messy. Tath�s own hair was long enough that it covered his eyes somewhat, but since it wasn�t very thick it was easy to keep under control. He felt awkward being in the room while Nerilki brushed her hair. In all his life he�d never seen a girl do that � he�d never actually been in the same room with any of the holdless girls, since he only knew one of them enough to talk to, and he didn�t even talk to her much. Tathan didn�t talk to anyone much.

((Aww, I love Radar. Now which one is the guy who keeps dressing as a woman and stuff to try and get home? He�s the funniest�))
