Candidate Gideon
As you pass through the Dining Hall, you hear a pleasant and uplifting tune being played on a pipe. What sounds like a firelizrd is accompanying it. You look around until you spot a boy sitting at one of the tables. He's playing a small pipe and a young blue firelizard is on the table in front of him, "singing" along.
When the song is over you clap softly, startling him a little. He looks at you and smiles as you apologize.
"Oh...that's alright. I just didn't think anyone was listening to us. My name's Gideon. And this is Sear." he points to the flitter who chitters happily at you. "I'm teaching him how to carry a tune..." he smiles again. "This is as good an opertunity as ever to try something faster and more...lively...since I'm in such a good mood." He holds up a letter. "I just got Searched by Talis Weyr!!!"
You take the hide and look it over. Yes, he was Searched. You smile, and congratulate him on his luck.
He grins. "My parents wanted me to be a Harper...so they sent me to Fort...And all because I could play the pipes." he laughed. "This'll be much better...if I Impress. I hope I do."
You spend quite awhile longer chatting with him about his family and thier minor hold in the hills of Ruatha, about the few months he spent at the Fort harper Crafthall, and about his plans after the Hatching...both with and without a dragon before you decide that it's time to move on. You wish thm both farewell and Good Luck again before leaving the hall.
