F'rint: Finally quit on you, did she?

N'thei: Was only a matter of time, suppose. --You get those marks for her?

F'rint: (Silence)

N'thei: Thank you. Something else you can do for me.

F'rint: I don't want it.

N'thei: Nobody else. If A'son was still here--

F'rint: But he ain't. You sure know how to make a man feel special, friend.

N'thei: (Silence)

F'rint: I don't want that one in particular.

N'thei: What? Want to be someone else's 'second? Can't promise you that, and I need you, brother.

F'rint: Would you let me finish? Just once, shut up for a minute.

N'thei: (Hateful silence)

F'rint: Thank you. I don't want that knot. I'll be your 'second, friend, and be honored to do it. But I ain't fit for-- for all that I've seen expected out of a Weyrsecond. You know your limitations, I know mine.

N'thei: Sooooooo, you want to be a Wingsecond but not a Weyrsecond?

F'rint: I knew you had some cleverness in there somewhere.

N'thei: All right. (Pause) All right. Not sure how it will work, people expect things of Glacier's 'second, but I'm willing to let you have a go at it. Never cared much for Shanlee meddling where she shouldn't be anyw--

F'rint: You're lying to someone who knows the truth already, friend. You needed her, and now you have no idea how to know where to draw the line.

N'thei: Go away. Getting on my last nerve.

F'rint: Yessir.
