"Positive, Tath. And, I'm not sure which rider. Everyone has secrets."
Nerilki fell silent for a moment as she thought of her favourite sister- formerly the Lady of Benden. The nicest girl of the family, she had not wanted her alliance with Benden due to her secret love that none but Nerilki had known about.

"Come one, Tath. Hythe's just next door." Nerilki stood fluidly, letting her embroidery drop the the floor. She stooped down to pick it up, and placed it on her chair.

Avianyth, dear, could youtell Ith that we're coming?
Of course, Nerilki.

Nerilki led the way out of her weyr, and turned to her immediate left. She knocked on the door, and called loudly, "Hythe? Can I come in?"
A baby wailed as a rather nervous-looking teenager came out.
"Sorry, Nerilki, when Ith told me you were coming, I should have opened the door, but I was putting Shah down for a nap."

She wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead, and sighed. The scarf she had tied around her head effectively hid her shorn hair from view.

"And how is Shah?" Nerilki asked, stepping in the room. She motioned Tath after her.
"Shah's fine, just a bit grumpy. I just fed her, so she'll be asleep in a few moments," Hythe answered, going over to the shelf that served as a changing table, and picked up her golden-haired daughter.
"And who's this?" Hythe asked, noticing Tath for the first time. "He one of your friends?"

"Yeah, he used to be in Southern Boll, before I got Searched. I wanted to introduce him to you," Nerilki finished by motioning from Tath to Hythe. She pulled a loose thread from her shirtsleeve, and stuck it in her opposite wristband.

Hythe placed her daughter on one hip as she turned to look for a bottle. Nerilki held it up, knocked to the floor when Hythe had stood.

"So, Tath, this is my friend Hythe, rider of green Ith, and her daughter, Shah. Hythe's husband was killed not long after Shah's birth. He-" Nerilki was cut off by Hythe's warning finger to her lips.

"Not around Shah, please? She's a bit young to understand." Hythe handed the bottle to Shah, who fastened her lips around it and began to suck.
"Of course. Might I inquire as to where Grean and Havinka are?" Nerilki asked, tasctfully steering around the awkward silence.
"They're in the Lower Caverns, helping in the kitchens. Havinka loves to cook!" Hythe smiled, something that was getting more common to see. Hythe was too old for her Turns, Nerilki often thought. Being Married before Impression would do that to one.

((That'd be Klinger, from Toledo, Ohio. He's got the coolest clothes!))
