Subject: ~Queen Chirping~

Jiania walked into the Common Rooms, head held high. Her small queen, Bryni, was settled on her right shoulder. Her eyes were whirling as she looked at the queen with the eggs. "Not now, Bryni. You can fly later." Jiania answered, her voice musical from her Harper training. Jiania was drudge-born, but the Hold's Harper had insisted she receive training. Jiania's blue-violet eyes took in the Candidates and 'riders lounging around, talking quietly. Bryni chirped to Jiania. "Hmm?" she asked the queen. Bryni shook her delicate head. Jiania 'watched' as Bryni sent her an image of getting an egg from the Weyrwoman's queen. "No. Bryni, I might get an egg if you have a clutch, but I should leave the eggs to those who have none. And I have you, right?" Jiania tapped Bryni's nose. Bryni sighed and sent another image, of a larger Bryni. Jiania raised an eyebrow. "The queen egg?" Jiania asked again. Bryni nodded. "I don't know, my sweet." Jiania nodded, voice light. Her eyes lit up as she saw a man enter the Common Rooms. Jiania watched him go up to the queen. "See? He doesn't have any flits. He should get first pick. I s'pose I should see the Weyrwoman. I could help out in the kitchens. Unless her Headwoman has everything control." Jiania dawdled on the edges of the room. She decided to go up and talk to the man, who seemed older. A rider? Jiania walked through the small crowd, and tapped the taller man on the shoulder. The petite Jiania barely came up to her shoulder. "Jiania, Journeywoman Harper, Candidate. And this is Bryni." Jiania gestured to the gold flit on her shoulder. Bryni chirped importantly and preened slightly. There was a slight cracking, and Jiania felt her belt for her pouch of oil. Her fingers closed on it, the callused tips opening the top. She drew out the slim bottle and poured some on her fingertips, rubbing it into Bryni's skin as she waited for the man to answer.
