Following Martan, the pair stop to gape in appreciative amazement at their first sight of the Weyr. Liandro is eager to get closer, and Marja is still on the lookout for dragons, but the young man is slowing down a bit, his side aching again. With a stern glare, Marja slips her shoulder under his arm and wraps her arm around his back, forcing him to lean at least a little weight upon her despite his chivalrous attempts not to. After two brief attempts at pulling away, Liandro rolls his eyes at her and succumbs, letting the sturdy Healer support him. Privately, Marja isn't as thrilled at the thought of dragons as the thought of finding hot water, clean bandages, and some supplies to replace what she'd lost in the storm - the valuable fruits of Turns of collection, lost in one fell swoop. She needs them to properly doctor Liandro. The bottom of her tunic and some saltwater might do for a temporary bandage, but the risk of infection is horribly present in the forefront of her mind, and some numbweed would make walking much easier for him.

"A clutch?" Marja perks noticably at that, poking Liandro in the small of the back with the hand she's using to support him. "Liandro could stand! I'm too old, though," she sighs, then shrugs her free shoulder. "Well, I'm sure I'll be useful anyway. Can your Weyr use a Healer? I was only rated Journeyman before the disasters, but I've had lots of experience and practice since - I might not be a Master, since I'm not fully versed on diseases, but for practical medicine, there's not much I can't do," she adds, with understandable pride in her voice.

Concentrating on moving forward, Liandro has been letting the conversation flow around him, but one question has been hovering in the back of his mind since Martan mentioned the Weyr. "If you'll excuse my asking, what do you do there?" he murmurs, in his ever-soft tones. "You don't have a dragonrider's name, and you're a bit old to be a Candidate." And too bright to be a typical drudge, the young man adds mentally, but that's a bit rude to be saying out loud. He has no idea of the subject he's raised, assuming that Martan is Healer or Harper or some other Crafter that had found the Weyr in the same way they had.

((Could you do me a favor and assume Marja looks a year or so older than she really is? She's at the very upper limit for Impression anyway, and I want her to go onto the Sands in case of an accident, still assuming she's beyond Impression age. It's not a big deal or anything, but I think it'd be fun. ^_^))
