Weyr Life: The Drabbles

posted 3rd December 2007.


#54 - "Air"

H'koll reluctantly tore his eyes away from the two newest members of M'gan's wing, and tried to concentrate on Ruarnoth's own airspace. He got like this every time a weyrling class graduated to the fighting wings, fussing like an old wherry-hen over them. They'd do fine, whether he watched them every second or not.

A sudden shouted warning sent Ruarnoth banking sharply, barely avoiding the clump they hadn't seen falling and the flaming blue in pursuit. Another ex-weyrling, of course.

H'koll chuckled, and gratefully asked Ruarnoth to pass on their thanks. Yes, the new riders would do very well indeed.
