OOC-This post is meant to jump the characters to about three months since the Xanta Hatching. It is set during the start of the monsoon rains.
----------------------------------
Willmina brought in the latest posts from the brown dispatch-rider and shook out of her heavy rain-repellant coat.

Shetanth watched from the sheltered comfort of the area just inside from her ledge. A bolt of lightening illuminated her hide on the dark, rainy day.
She watched her rider look over the one scroll that had come with the rest. A tremor of anger and pain rolled up to the gold queen and rippled over her with the sharp clap of thunder from the outside.

-"He" has contacted you again?!

The Weyrwoman wanted to scowl but only cast a short glance to her queen before moving to the fire that blazed in the hearth. Far from angry with her queen. This was reserved for W'menel. His fourth attempt to contact her and she wanted none of his letters or to see him in person.
Perhaps Arialna hadn't been so foolish after all.
'HE has.'
Willmina flicked the letter to the flames and waited until she saw the parchment catch and flame up before turning to the rest of the day's mail.

Bills for sacks of firestone. Agenothree chemical invoices.
Invoices for food. A smattering of reports from around PERN.
Xanta was happily buzzing with their new Weyrling pairs. Kinia was awfully quiet. The other Weyrs seemed to not want much said of them.
Not that Willmina could really care.

'I've been thinking that when the monsoon is past in another month I will begin ordering Threadfighting practice in earnest.'

-We need a Weyrleader.
Shetanth commented with a look that tried to hide what might be simmering in her mind.

'You aren't feeling ready for another flight, are you?

-I have been lonely of late. The other bronzes have been company with the browns for me. No, I really do want a mate.

'Are you up for it?'

-It has been nearly two Turns since I flew last.

Willmina could not help but nod.
It would well serve both her queen and the Weyr. She had to wonder what the junior queen might feel about her taking flight again. Hoped Brynn and Kessinth wouldn't be too put out by it when it came.
