It took two sevens to do it, but the weyr has been cleaned up - and in time for Asha's birthday. The dust in the corners has been swept out, the curtains installed between Reyce and Issa's bedroom, and the furniture moved in. The unchangeable things - like the crooked entrance, which angles to one side and is set on an upward slope - have become ( Read more... )

The remnants of dinner have been left scattered across the tiny, circular table sitting at the ledge's entrance that was dragged up to the weyr for the night's more exclusive, friendly dinner, an occassion that will be the last for some time with the couple's move little more than a sevenday away. Already crates have begun to accumulate at the weyr ( Read more... )

With Issa's resignation from weyrling wingsecond, her time has become more her own after drills and meetings with her temporarily assigned wing and she takes advantage of it this afternoon. She found Reyce with a surprise hug from behind and a shamelessly involved kiss to follow it, then fell back into the routine of normal conversation as they sat ( Read more... )

Dinner was delayed by about half an hour because Reyce didn't turn up. After harassing Issa for the past sevenday not to neglect her meals, he's the one who almost missed one today; when he did remember, he showed up smelling of alcohol and vomit. He was not much inclined to talk, beyond what it took to answer her questions, if she herself could be ( Read more... )

Issa and Reyce lie much the same as they were when they collapsed after placing the sleeping baby in the crib just outside the curtain, after fooling around a bit, after murmuring back and forth in the hushed tones that have become commonplace now. Issa is curled to face him, her face half-buried in the pillow, one leg splayed over onto his side of ( Read more... )

Issa has been serving as a sounding board for the particulars of Reyce's lesson plans, a sort of game made out of how much he can teach in her one night's crash course, a test for his methods.  His notes and hides are scattered here and there around their central spot on the couch, but the wax tablet she used to scratch uncertain figures has been ( Read more... )

After the months of sullen silence following his fight with Reyce, G'bit makes another appearance to bring his congratulations for the new baby and apologize.  Reyce doesn't take it very well.  (Reyce, G'bit, Asha, Issa)
IC Date: Day 24, Month 2, Turn 4

Tonight has been made rough ( Read more... )

The Weyrlingmaster's assistant and her Bendenite are nothing if not predictable, and they have become even more so now that they have Asha trailing along. The baby decided to draw attention to herself at dinner, suddenly bursting into screams while her parents and those around her were trying to eat dinner; shortly after, Reyce and Issa had to ( Read more... )

It's been over an hour since Reyce left to look after Asha. Oshisyth could provide the details, but she doesn't have to since the outbursts of wailing were plenty audible inside the bedroom. Now, however, there's been silence for a while, and it's possible Issa even fell asleep again before Reyce pads in with the baby held in his arms. If Issa didn ( Read more... )

The first load of their belongings has been secured to Oshisyth's straps, essentials and a bit extra they packed up after dinner, enough to last them the night and morning before they go down for another. Oshisyth sets herself down with an unusual amount of care, even for the bulkiness of the crates lined along her sides. Issa, whose depleted ( Read more... )
