| On the night before she was due to leave for the Healer Hall, Ellervan came to see Delifa. They sat in awkward silence on the couch in the living area of her family's apartment for a good five minutes before he spoke. "Always figured you and me-- soon as we were old enough, you know, Delly? And now you're going away." It surprised her: it was the first time it had ever been mentioned, that maybe, just maybe, there was something more than friendship between the two of them. "I would have liked that," she told him. "I would have wanted it, too." "Will you come back? When you've walked the tables?" "If I can." It wasn't a promise, and perhaps it could have been easily forgotten as the turns went on, and Ellervan Impressed, and Delifa advanced in her craft. But they wrote to each, and he visited, and those childish inklings developed over time into an adult affection-- and love. The Hall granted her posting request the day she walked the tables, and Delifa returned to the Weyr of her birth, moving in with her bluerider lover, beginning almost immediately on the family she'd been dreaming about for much of her apprenticeship. At the Hall, a young man in her class began to teach Apprentice Pharmacy classes. He was a good herbalist, a man with great skill, but he scared the apprentices. Amidst the group, a good many turns later, a dark haired holder girl stumbled over her words and failed her exams. He scoffed. She shouldn't be there anyway: she could barely read, and even when she did know the answer, couldn't seem to get it out. It wasn't a surprise when she failed out, returning back to the backwards little hold she was from, disgraced. |
