It had been an exciting day, with lessons, chores and the chance to see the egg's for the first time, Ranelli found that her head was spinning slightly with all the thoughts she had had, both thoughts from seeing the eggs today. It had been during her time at the egg's that Ranelli had realised, she hadn't really spent the time with the others candidates, or gotten to to know them a bit better.. and soon, they may not all be candidates anymore! ..and so, she'd hung behind after the egg touching session, to see if perhaps she could catch anyone..

Ravis walked out with Shem. The girl headed the opposite direction, so Ravis and Trig headed off themselves. Trig caught sight of Ranelli first and crooned a greeting. the teen looked up. "Oh, hello," he said. He knew he had seen her before but he couldn't place her name and he felt bad for that. He really needed to work on that.

"Hi, Ravis" She said with a small smile, Ranelli was good with names and had tried her best to make sure she knew as many as possible in the weyr.. she wanted people to like her for who she was, not her rank, as had happened in the past..
..not that her rank mattered anymore, she thought briefly to herself. She'd been disowned at the daughter of two powerful holders.
..she'd found it weird at the weyr to start, weird that people didn't already know her name.. she was used to walking around and people knowing her, even when she didn't know them..

The boy smiled. "Hi," he said cheerily. "Ranelli," he quickly added. For some reason the girl's name had finally come to him. Then he remembered who she was. His Trader caravan had stopped in her Hold before. "Wasn't that amazing getting to touch the eggs?" he asked with a big smile. He was actually feeling a bit like his oldself again.
Trig cheeped happily. The brown liked meeting new people.

She noticed the pause before her name, and figured he probably had had to think hard about her name.. but she didn't mind that, it was quite plesent having that opportunity to speak to someone who really didn't know you. "I never thought in a thousand turns that I would be touching egg's in my life.." she admitted. "it's all a little bit overwhelming!"

Ravis nodded. "It is. I loved it. But I was so worried that I might hurt the egg." He was glad that Ranelli didn't seem offended that he hadn't been able to think of her name to begin with. He would have to work on that.

She smiled in understanding, her face showing fewer emotions than that.. there was no animation of excitment at the topic of conversation, old habits were to slow to die.. especially at this rate. "Yes, I was too." She admitted. "They look so delecate" ...but they clearly were not.
"I never realised that the sands were so hot!" she added, her feet feeling a little fragile after standing on them with shoes on, however was she going to stand still for a long period of time during the hatching?

Ravis nodded. "They do. I am so glad that Chandrath and Chyrosberyth let us touch their eggs." It was an amazing experience. And one that he would never forget. He nodded. "That sand was hot. I definitely wasn't ready for that." He was surprised to see that he was easily talking to another person. Shem must have rubbed off on him.

Ranelli smiled warmly at him. "You heading back to the barracks?" She asked, maybe she could wonder along with him, if he was. "I'm planning on doing so... need to get off my feet they feel a little sore.." she said. "Don't worry if not.. i just thought it might be nice to talk for a little bit.." She admitted, maybe she could make friends afterall?

The boy nodded. "Actually I was," he answered. He didn't have anywhere else to go at the moment. Maybe later he'd go and eat, but right now he was thinking of just relaxing and thinking about what they had just been allowed to do. Ravis nodded. "Sure. That sounds good to me." He knew he needed to make new friends. And as long as no one asked about his hand he was fine.

She smiled. "Thats great!" Things were going in her favor, maybe she'd make friends with other people afterall, now that she knew she was staying at the weyr it was worth spending the time to make friends. It would make it easier in the long run.. and make it easier to settle in and stay if her plans didn't quite work out.
It felt strange talking to a male in such a friendly manner, in her old position talking to guys in such a manner always sparked rumours and when Tardol had come along, she had had to ensure that she stayed distant from guys.. her mother was worried that Tardol would be jealous and walk away from the union... ...funny how things worked out!

Ravis walked beside her. It seemed like at the Weyr that prior rank really didn't matter. And he had to admit, Ranelli seemed nice enough. It would be nice to have friends. And maybe he could introduce her to Shem. He was sure Shem would be up for meeting a new person.
"So, what do you think of the Weyr?" he asked as Trig curled around his neck. He wasn't quite sure what else to ask at the moment.

She looked at him for a moment as if contemplating how to respond, but did speak up. "It's a little different to what i am used to." She admitted. "You.. know, all the customs and life itself.. it's very different to my old life at Crooked River.. but, i like it." She said. "Everyone is friendly.. and supportive." ...and her words were true, she hadn't met a single nasty person at the weyr yet, or anyone who clearly didn't trust or believe in her... she thought she could happily make the weyr her home.. ...not that she had an alternative now, but that was her business, and she wouldn't tell anyone else of the happenings between her, Cybele and her parents..

Ravis stayed silent. He wasn't going to make her talk. He knew all about not wanting to talk about a certain subject. He smiled when she opened up though. "It is different," he agreed. "I grew up in Crooked River myself and then joined a Trader Caravan. I had gotten used to traveling all the time." He couldn't believe he had just told Ranelli that. Oh well, it needed to get out in the open sometime. It wasn't like he had anything to hide. Well, except for his scarred hand, but he wasn't ready to show anyone that yet.

She smiled. "How long ago did you leave Crooked River?" She asked, she didn't remember him...and Ranelli had been quite good about knowing who was in her hold and their ages.. but she didn't remember Ravis.
