Subject: Enters...

The elder girl entered first, the littler, shyer child following her, clasping her sister's hand tightly.

Both looked around in wonder, and it seemed, that no matter the age of the girls, it seemed both were equaly dazzled, and looked as if never on Pern had they seen such a sight.

Although both knew that there were not yet eggs on the Sands, even if there had been, it wouldn't have made a difference in how enchanted the two looked.

Aiko, the younger one with the fire-orange hair, let go of her sister's had and began to suck ehr thumb. "Big isn't it, Satwika?"

Satrika nodded, smiling. "Isn't it?"

She dismissed her sister's lisp; as the five year old had never been able to pronounce her 'r's and 'l's right- or at least, not yet. But such things never mattered. Satrika knew that Aiko would learn in time; soon enough.

Aiko smiled sweetly, tugging at her sister's white robe excitedly. "Wook!! Thewe's awweady peopwe hewe!" she cried. "Maybe, thewe's othew wittwe kids fow me to pway with. Wouldn't that be wondewfuww?"

Satrika nodded, smiling down at the anxious little girl. "Maybe there'll be even a cute little boy for you to like," she teased, knowing very well what the girl's reaction would be.

"EEEEWWW! BOYS AWE YUUUUUUUCKY!" Aiko yelled, enthusiastically, and Satrika was sure that she had screamed loud enough for the whole Weyr to hear.

Satrika chided the girl genty for being so loud. "Sshhhh....any louder and the whole place will fall down!"

Aiko's green eyes widened. "REAWWY?!" she cried in alarm, looking up at the roof in remorse.

Satrika grinned, nodding. "REALLY."
