Weyrlings/Month2 Activities Duties Rules

Recaps are, as always, completely optional, but one thing that would be useful for your weyrlingmasters is if you could indicate how your character did on each of their exams (a letter grade is fine).

Any questions, just ask!

Jocelyn

• Reading: A
• Writing: A-
• Arithmetic: B+
• Local History: B-
• World History: C

Jocelyn scores well overall on her placement exams, which probably doesn't come as too much of a surprise given her turns of lower caverns management. She's still more apt to criticize first and consider feelings later, but she's not unwilling to (brusquely) help those who ask for assistance so long as they demonstrate that they're trying rather than attempting to sail through some obstacle with someone else's wind. Calisthenics, this month, require more work in her off-time since she isn't the fastest or the one with the most stamina.

Learning dragon anatomy is interesting, and a subject matter that ultimately isn't too difficult for her since she's good at memorizing and understanding how pieces connect into a working whole. The etiquette classes, on the other hand, aren't the easiest things for the redhead, who hasn't traveled much aside from having visited the occasional local gather over the turns. She's good at memorizing what to say and to whom, but struggles to mask her instinctive, disapproving looks and mannerisms behind politesse. While she has dry wit in spades, it's a tricky thing to curb it into a tone that can still come across as appropriately polite. Since Impression, she's been slowly improving at biting her tongue; Aidavanth's influence helps in some situations, certainly, but she's yet more apt to choose to be blunt rather than frank.

Speaking of Aidavanth: She continues to be warmly solicitous of her siblings and classmates, cheerfully engaging with any and all who pass by even if it's just to share a quick hello. She still requires a fair amount of Jocelyn's attention while she's awake; she isn't demonstrating signs of being mentally or emotionally needy, but there's so much more of her to oil. There's a significant amount of itching, but nothing out of the ordinary presents in her physicals to suggest that it's due to anything but constant growth.

Lys

• Reading: A
• Writing: A
• Arithmetic: C
• Local History: B (stronger with more current events)
• World History: C

Month two sees Lys and Evyth becoming more social; still largely 'fringe' of the class, Evyth is undeniably the more social of the two. Lys tries to keep her attitude in check, but it does slip out from time to time. Some might notice that she seems to be struggling as reality is setting in about just what the life of a dragonrider entails; not struggling because she objects, just because it's a lot to wrap a head around. She still shares blissful moments alone with Evyth, but finds weyrlinghood increasingly demanding. Evyth is friendly as ever, still a little worried for the occasional darker moods that strike. Mostly, in classes and exercises, aside from Evyth's clumsy moments, they're unremarkable (and only occasionally challenging.

Silva

   * Reading: B
   *     Writing: B
   *     Arithmetic: A
   *     Local History: C 
   *     World History: D

There were more than a few upraised eyebrows when Silva pulled off that placement in math - wasn't she just a ditz? Something must have filtered down from her craftmaster father though, because in most matters she manages to be the middle of the pack. Except for World History because, like... who even cares? It's an attitude that has her teachers shaking their heads in despair.

Dragon anatomy is gross kthanks. But since Zaisyreth seems interested Silva has forced herself to look at the pictures and learn what she can. She even followed C'ris' advice and finally visited the healers to have her blue's needle sharp talons trimmed down so he's not cutting his thin hide while sleeping.

Her hair is cut. Woe. :(

Any way Silva can get //out// of work she's taking it, but under the careful eye of the WLM and AWLM she isn't getting away with as much as she could. Maybe there is a useful member of the weyr in there. It's just... buried deep deep under her skin. There hasn't been a whole lot of integration with the others - for once it seems like Silva is a loner. It's fairly often that Silva is found in tears though, or right on the edge of them, so maybe the isolation is starting to get to her, even if she's snappish when someone else tries to reach out.

Zaisyreth takes life exactly one day in time. He has endless patience for Silva's mistakes and foibles, gently encouraging her till she gets it or even supporting her on another course of action. In many ways he enables her, but it's possible there is change to be found. Nothing ever seems to ruffle his feathers, even when baby-foibles cause him to get hurt and Silva is just shy of hysterics.

V'ret

Reading: B Writing: A Arithmetic: C Local History: D World History: D

Lackluster, but he seems to have a solid foundation on the rules of grammar and a decent vocabulary, and far better handwriting than someone would expect, although it tends towards cramped and it might be best read by someone who still has young eyes. His knowledge of history seems to get about as far as "seems to have learned most of the basic teaching songs at some point and recalls most of their contents", but there's a lot of questions he doesn't even attempt, rather than guessing and putting down something wrong.

As far as his fellow weyrlings are concerned, V'ret is pleasant, agreeable, willing to joke around, and usually not terribly interested in hanging around in his free time; he seems to disappear the moment it's tolerable. He doesn't appear to take his academics particularly seriously, even after his exam performance. Zoth appears to take his absences in stride, now. Zoth takes a mild interest in what's going on around him, but is often more of a watcher than a participant. He incredibly efficient at breaking down a herdbeast, but has a habit of being finicky about consuming the results. He would, and this he doesn't bother concealing from anyone, much prefer that the beasts were merely lamed and left out for them; no matter how fresh the day's delivery is, it's never good enough for him.
