Arinza yawned as she stood beside Ciryatanth in the weyrbowl. The Weyrlingmaster was going over proper use of firestone again, just as he'd done the day before. Apparently some of the weyrlings hadn't been paying attention. Arinza could understand that, she found herself having trouble paying attention today and she couldn't understand why. She looked this way and that, watching the comings and goings in the weyrbowl more than anything else.

Ciryatanth butted her head up against Arinza's side just then and she smiled as she stroked the black's eyeridges, once again trying to focus on what the Weyrlingmaster was saying. Just then though, movement to the left of the group caught her eye and she turned to see some of the hatchlings from the recent gold's clutch walking by. She started to turn her gaze away when one particular young man caught her eye. There was something very familiar about him and she gasped in a breath as she recognized Kirfon leading a brown hatchling along within the group.

She stared at him intently, part of her wanting to rush over to him and throw her arms around his neck, the other part of her glaring at him. At that moment he turned to look her way and even across the large distance between them their eyes met. He cringed, as her face no doubt looked like a storm cloud, and she looked away, only glancing back once she was sure he was gone.

Ciryatanth crooned soft and low, sounding a little distressed as she nuzzled her rider affectionately. What is wrong, my rider? Kullira, what happened? Who was that? Why did he upset you so?

Kullira took a deep breath and turned to her dragon trying to hush her crooning. It's okay, Ciryatanth. I'll explain it all later, right now we have to pay attention to the lesson. Quiet down, love.

Ciryatanth ceased her crooning but not soon enough to avoid the Weyrlingmaster's disapproving stare. Arinza cringed and mumbled an apology, making sure she paid very careful attention for the rest of the lesson.
