D'kan

While D'kan continues to lie low and remain in the background, for the most part, Kazavoth's been doing anything but. When awake, his chatter with the other dragons of the Weyr is almost constant, whether he's pestering just one or two in particular or broadcasting thoughts and songs to the area at large. When told to buzz off, he does so. For a little while. He's only a few months old, after all. At least he's been keeping it to the dragons, or he and D'kan might find a one-way ticket to Some Weyr, Any Weyr But Here. Most notably, Kazavoth has been known to express complaints about the old, tough beasts left for them to eat, and irritation that his newfound ability to fly is kept so tethered by Those In Charge.

D'kan was not one of the handful to find a silver thread on his cot. As with most other things lately, he tends to stay quiet on his thoughts about it, at least in public, though he's shared more specific opinions with a few people in private. He has not pursued changing his thread. He has, however, managed to complete his remedial Harper classes, having retaken the exam for world history a little more than halfway through the month, which means he's down to just the usual weyrling lectures, drills, and other tasks. Will he be supplementing those lectures and studies? He has been seen with some extra odds and ends of hide and parchment around Kazavoth's couch, but maybe he's just a collector.

E'sren

Since his family arrived, E'sren has been spending a lot more time with them, any free moments he has. He's also been chosen as one of the 'silvers', as their class has been dubbed, and so those free moments are more few and far between as it is. These events have caused a bit of a rift between himself and some of his fellow weyrlings, a rift he tries at every turn to mend by being his usual down-to-earth, amicable self. More time with those other weyrlings who were chosen is not happening either, though he does spend more and more time with Telavi now, and of course with Sabella.

More and more time spent with Quinlys and Aishani might also be noted, though it isn't over the top, and I'zech too during lessons. The work from the leadership program has begun to take, if not a toll then just... things. His sleeping schedule is totally screwed, he sleeps about five hours a night, and nobody would be able to say they caught him sitting down unless he was currently studying politics or etiquette or the Weyr itself. But despite this obvious toil, he's still cheerful, still upbeat, through it all. Must be something in the klah.

Ahruth is becoming more and more talkative as time moves on. Any dragons who interact with him might notice a general absence of the usual dramatic personality demonstrated by the rest of the weyrlings this cycle produced. Instead he uses words, since E'sren supplies him with a constant supply, and color, and his emotions come through clearly. More than that is reserved for playing with others and toying with their imagery.

N'ky

There's been nothing at all of note happening with N'ky this month. Cailluneth's finally taller than him at the shoulder and he's disappointed that he was overlooked for the silver threads, but that's about it.

By the end of the month his grades have started to slip significantly, and he's not putting as much effort - hardly any effort, really - into his remedial classes any more.

I'zech

Coming into the barracks at the tail end of Month 3, I'zech and his frightful specter of a bronze, Rojeth, brought along with them the rumors that this new assistant weyrlingmaster was kicked out of Hailstorm for being a no-good, lazy, smack-talking... well, you get the picture. Quinlys and Meara have apparently taken it upon themselves to make something of him, like another wayward youth in need of shaping, not that they look particularly thrilled about it. Thems the rumors.

I'zech himself has been shadowing around the barracks, doing little more than coughing out a belligerent 'yeah, what she said' here and there as he learns the schedule and becomes familiar with all the young, shining faces. Supposedly, the weyrlings should listen to him, or something, at some point, if he starts to do something.

Also, there's a good chance he's hung over.

Rojeth has made a habit of making contact with the weyrling dragons while not necessarily being physically present. It seems just to be his way, preferring thus far to watch the training from a distance rather than get involved.
