R'him might not have been a High Reaches Weyr Candidate, but he was now one of their weyrlings. Despite the snow, cold, unfamiliar faces and a loss of direction (everywhere he looked he saw nothing but snow-capped mountain peaks), the man hadn't missed a beat. He'd replaced rain with snow, and saltwater with howling winds--and had gained the most perfect dragon on Pern in the process. He couldn't say he missed Western Weyr because Hybreoth was here and this was his bronze's home.
The day's had passed like a blur and R'him had never been happier. The high from Impression had yet to dissipate, and he was thoroughly obsessed with his newfound bronze companion. Chopping up meat wasn't a chore, and though bathing his dragon meant he returned half-frozen no matter the layers--it was far from a chore. He woke up happy, and went to be happy--and nothing, not even the outcome of what had happened to that boy could pull him down.
Anytime he started to feel guilt about the incident had Hybreoth pushing the feeling away. There was no need to dwell, according to the bronze, and Hybreoth made sure His would have no residual guilt over the matter. What was done was done.
Today was no different. R'him had been settled in the large common room of the Barracks, with Hybreoth's head resting upon his lap. The bronze was already noticeably larger than he had been during the Hatching, and R'him was pleased as punch his not-so-little fellow was in good spirits. There was no coursework this early on, when the focus was getting-to-know his beloved companion--so it made for an excellent moment to warm up by the hearth and enjoy one another's company. He would be back outside soon enough--either to run Hybreoth around in the snow or to play with his clutchmates. But for now, they were only too happy to have some time to relax.
houllow ]I suddenly realized I wasn't sure if Haveli had asked to spend time with him, or if she was simply trying to find an excuse to bump into them outside of lessons. < < So I kept it vague. I also kept it inside the Barracks cause... R'him is like eff that snow noise for now. LOL S-sorry! I can always change/edit if you need.
