Meaven looked around. Acidell had slunk off, taking a portion of the supplies with him. He must have a reason. Meaven told herself. She didn't quite get why no one had listened to his suggestions. They made sense to her. The aunties had always drilled that into the Hall's children, but they had always managed to forget once cleaning time came. Meaven licked her lips, torn. Thies was over with Ari, Acidell to his dorm, and Tyrus somewhere else. I thought we were going to do this together. Meaven thought, confused.

The large puddle from Ari's and Thies's water fight started trickling towards her. Meaven sighed again. I was planning, hoping, to start that. I suppose others just act faster on those kinds of things. Meaven picked through the supplies she and Dell had fetched, hunting for the cloths. Dell chirped, handing her the few that were left. Meaven leaned over the water with no regard to her clothes, and started to blot up the large puddle. There didn't seem to be enough cloths and Meaven turned to her bronze once again. "Go and find the Headwoman. It turns out we need more dust-cloths." she said, fixing her request in Dell's mind. Dell nodded and blinked out. Meaven rocked back on her heels, eyes roving over the Weyrling Barracks. Her eyes kept coming back to the large blank wall that spanned the Barracks. Meaven's eyes became thoughtful as she knelt there, waiting for Dell.

The bronze came back, bearing the cloths proudly. "Good boy." Meaven said, fondling the bronze head. The words brought her mind back to canines, and then Acidell. He seemed to be slightly stand-offish, not a people person. Meaven shrugged as she continued to mop up the mess. Her mind whirled as the puddle shrank in size and as the cloths gained in weight. "Dell..." Dell looked at his friend. "Nothing. Never mind." Meaven straightened up and wiped her damp hands on her similarly damp skirt. "Listen. See that wall? At home, blank walls like that were covered in murals. If anyone is artisically inclined, and the Weyrwoman approves, we could do something on it. Or after the Hatching we could each sign our and our dragon's names." Meaven said thoughtfully, new ideas springing up as she talked.
