((I hope you don't mind, but I was planning to send him down the Perches to soak his head before you guys posted, and, well, Kylith's presence is rather hard to ignore even in the depths of a wicked hangover. He can go away quickly if you like. ^_^))

To add insult to injury, it stops raining almost immediately after T'gan finishes depositing the remains of last night's meal with D'ctor into the bushes just outside the exit he'd taken out of the weyrs. Picking up his clean clothing, still safely wrapped and kept dry in the wherhide jacket, he tries to keep it out of contact with the smear down the front of his current clothing as he procceeds to the Perches. His head's still pounding like there's a phalanx of Miners with pickaxes inside his skull, but at least the unpleasant gurglings of his stomach no longer preclude an actual eruption. Reaching the Perches, he sets his bundle down, shucks off his dirty clothing nearby, and heads straight for the water, not even bothering to look around. He's concerned with a very narrow tunnel of vision between himself and the lake, and that's it. If he's lucky, the cold water will do something for his head, or at least won't agitate his stomach the way the hot water in his bath had. Plunging in, T'gan focuses on giving himself a thorough scrubbing, losing his hairband somewhere as he kneads soapsand into his hair.

It may seem rather difficult to miss an entire group of dragons and riders thought dead in the storm, but the bronzerider manages it for nearly a full ten minutes. He'd seen them out of the corner of his eye, yes, but his head hurts too much to even try and think about extraneous matters, and he'd dismissed them as other riders, perhaps socializing after bathing their dragons. Only when he's clean and pulling on pants again does T'gan stop to actually look at them, and he actually yelps in surprise, sea-green eyes going wide. Then he winces as his throbbing head sends up a protest at his own cry. S'sha and Kylith, he realizes immediately. That can only be Kain and Raideth. He was Weyrlingmaster for a while - T'yin, that's right, and Viouth, and that's R'nos and Leth. The only rider that he hadn't assumed dead or missing is R'jari. Of course, in his current state, he's not particularly capable of anything approaching a witty comment, or even a relatively intelligent one. "You're alive!" he exclaims, rather addressing the group in general, though his eyes have returned to S'sha and Kylith and seem to be fixed on them. Then he flushes, realizing he's stated the obvious, and scrambles for something more pertinent to say. Nothing rises to mind immediately, leaving an awkward silence as he tries to defeat his hangover and half-dressed state and look a little less foolish.
