| She turns the package over, wondering about its contents. It's wrapped well and thickly, tied off with the rough sort of string she remembers from home. Leaves flutter through their minds' eyes, scattered by a slight breeze of curiosity. « Aren't you going to open it? » S'pose I hafta, Paige answers, scooting forward on her cot to give the tiny dragonet a better view of this newest mystery. Aunt said 'tis from m'folks. « They must mean to wish us well, » Tiasheth says sensibly, nudging gently at the parcel with her nose. « Vrusith's got something similar the other day. » "I'm sure they do, " Paige says aloud, undoing knots and unwrapping lengths of paper. They came t'see us, didja know? T'see me. They saw ya find me. « Yes, you showed me, » her dragon replies, producing a blurry, dappled image of several people standing together. « And Illiryth's and Khavoth's, too, right? » But the slim girl is too busy staring at the package's contents to afford a reply; well-arranged paper falls away to reveal a single-stone pendant that glows with rich shades of green, threaded carefully on a thin strand of dark hide. « That's very pretty! » And as her lifemate lifts the piece to settle it about her neck, Tiasheth noses some of the excess wrappings aside, tipping lightly at a dark bundle beneath. « But what's this? » ... a bundle of marks, comes the faint reply. They shouldn' have. It's not much, but it's enough for her to be able to afford to purchase something relatively nice. Or, if she saves it well, it could surely help to fund a brand-new set of leathers in the future. When they're no longer weyrlings. |
