| Waking up next to B'ren was unsurprising. The black hole of her memory after Niahvth was caught by... Irianke's heart skipped a beat and a slow exhale released to the ceiling. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. B'ren stirred and Irianke moved in that automatic way of hers to calm him, soothe him, and pet him back to sleep so she could have a few more moments of quiet thought to herself. It was late evening now. She could smell the evening stew and mulled wine waiting in the main entry of her new weyr. It surprised her just how possessive she was of it. Surprised and frightened her. She had not thought she had wanted it so much prior to the flight; before the jumps that bought her more time. But in deciphering Lilah's message and realizing, only after her first attempt, what might have happened to the Fortian goldrider, something had changed in her desires, unbeknownst to herself. Her blood still ran cold imagining what had happened to Lilah and how no one could know of Eliyaveith's rider's fate or what her mission had been. Even now, the dragonhealers and K'del would have questions as to how Niahvth rose so far off her schedule, even if most would be relieved the Weyr would not be in young, untried hands. Irianke's eyes closed, her thoughts savoring this victory. This accomplishment. She felt B'ren stir again and rolled to her side, her hands working a particular kind of magic she was well versed in. Her eyes lidded heavily, feigning sleepiness, and her mouth fashioned into a drowsy, half-pleased, half-sorrowful smile. He, however, was not happy, and a dark shadow claimed his brown eyes. "Again?" "Again," she confirmed that unfinished question of just who had caught Niahvth. « You are awake, » said the new senior queen of High Reaches Weyr. « Good. Get dressed. We must go to Greenfields, it was all I could do to keep Cadejoth from jumping back immediately afterwards. » This new authoritative tone in Niahvth's voice was interesting. Irianke wasn't sure if she liked it particularly, especially since she had other ideas of how to spend her last evening, relatively free of the burden of rank. Too lazy to actually speak to her dragon, the emotions she felt were nonetheless conveyed and recoiled at the instant cold fury in the gold's touch. « Get. Dressed. Now. Be the Weyrwoman you are. Your Weyrleader is injured. » The floor fell beneath Irianke and her magic hands stilled along B'ren's body, a fact he protested in low mumbles as he tried to bury himself into her body again. "Go. I ... go, B'ren. I have some things I need to do." She pulled away, pulling the dusty sheet around her body, and walked from the Weyrwoman's weyr to her own, only to stop short in the entry cavern to find her trunks already moved. If she weren't cold with fear racing through her body, she'd make a note to keep this assistant, but she was cold. She was scared. And the assistant was the last thing on her mind now. The first set of riding leathers in her trunk was lifted out and donned. « Present yourself decently, Irianke. Lord Crom may be there, » which she took as a sign that she should make more efforts to her appearance with make up and matching accessories. It took just a little while longer, whoever had packed her things having organized things entirely too well. « No, not that necklace. It's too bright, as if you weren't aware that your Weyrleader may be on his death bed. » Irianke's eyes closed, and she wished, for one brief moment that this memory might go into some black void too, before she lept atop Niahvth. Share your image with Cadejoth. We will go together. |
