Author: Atiyana, M'att.
Subject: Always look on the bright side of life!

�Matty! Matty! You�re in there! I know you are!� M�att opened the door of his weyr to see the smiling face of Atiyana. In typical Ati fashion, the girl requested no permission to enter, and all but bounced into his room, talking at an incredible pace. �I got a weyr next door. Isn�t that great? I�m a greenrider! Her name�s Loriath, and I left her asleep. Do you know Daraco? He�s D�raco now. G�rein says he�s so cold we should put him in the cellar to keep the meat fresh but I like him. He Impressed a blue, you know.� She paused for breath. M�att hadn�t yet spoken. You learned to let Atiyana get it all out of her system before you interrupted. �What about you? What�s wrong with you?�

M�att shrugged. �Nothing�s wrong with me.�

�Don�t be silly, Matty. You know there is � you just haven�t told anyone yet and so it�s hard to tell me.� She seated herself cross-legged on his bed and he sat next to her. �Go on, M�att.� She said more gently. And he knew he could trust her � for all that Atiyana appeared younger than her age and too happy-go-lucky to be of any use, she could be remarkably discreet. �Is it that greenrider Lan mentioned? Because if it is, take no notice of him. He�s just trying to wind you up.�

�Like usual.� M�att replied glumly. �Yeah, it�s her � Synthis. I�� He struggled, but Atiyana was patient. M�att had great trouble with saying things. It wasn�t that he was unintelligent, just that he liked to say exactly how he felt, and that required perfect words. �I think I love her. And I want to be with her��

�So what�s wrong?�

�She�I don�t know how much I should say��

�Only what you think she�d be comfortable with.�

M�att sighed. �She just seems uncomfortable when we touch and she won�t tell me why��

Ati cocked her head to one side. �Maybe she�s been hurt. Father, brother�even someone else where she grew up. You know how little Hold girls are respected by men. Maybe she loves you too, but she can�t shake that off.�

�But�but why��

�If she�s used to having men hurt her, it could still be frightening to have one touch her. M�att, be patient.�

Atiyana watched M�att�s reaction with affection in her eyes. They�d played together when they were younger, since L�van was their mutual friend and had introduced them. �Matt, c�mon! I brought Atiyana � she�s a girl, but she�s aright!� Rising to her feet she paused at the door. �Think about it, yeah?�

M�att nodded, and she left, going back to her weyr � where Loriath slept.
