There's a whole lot I could say about this scene. Because it did rock muchly. Roa and R'vain. . .I love how they fumble along. And stumble. And have this relationship that works even though, really, it should have broken a 100 times already.

Also, I am pleased Miniyal is able to give them ways to work together. Really. I have so many other ideas. I really should have sent those records to R'vain. But, well, who knew he could read? ;) And, he does know how to play her. :( But she plays him back. It's functional. Until it's not.

Roa just has a few too many things stacked against her. Her own fault for being too young. And short. And skinny. And female. And, well, you get the idea.

By the way, I will have all of Gans' stuff when he dies. Feel free to bring Ginny in. I will make up past difficulties with her by serving her tea. :)

Roa ain't so skinny anymore. Hahaa, babyweight. Neener.

There's no reason it should have broken a hundred times. Roa and R'vain trample all over each other unintentionally, not so much for sport.

I'm not aware of a whole lot of trouble with Roa's shortness, skinniness, or femaleness (as a weyrwoman)? Presumptuous.

[roatelgari]

No, Miniyal means as reasons why R'vain tends to have better luck with Min than Roa does.

I like seeing how R'vain describes to Roa his conversation with Ginella, the way he colors and characterizes it. All of a sudden, transferring is her idea, she's offering to help rather than being prompted by him, and Roa shouldn't tell her that he mentioned it, (even though Ginny acknowledged it was something they'd need to discuss) it makes it sound as if she's had this idea worked out in her mind and is trying to push R'vain to make it happen.

Contrast that with Roa's description of her conversation with Ginella, and her take on Ginella's opinion of the exiles, which are basically right on, in the essentials. It's interesting. I really enjoyed reading this scene.

As far as R'vain knows, the idea was to go to T'ral with the knot before making any kind of formal move with Ginella. Speaking to Roa qualifies as a formal move, so he's out of line here and would rather Roa take it as an early percolative thought he's sharing personally than something he's sharing professionally that she should go act on-- yet.

I plead guilty to the rest of this, although Ginny did say 'transfer' first.

[lem_ginella]

She was the first to use the word 'transfer', that's true, but she said it very sarcastically, in a 'what are you, crazy?' sort of way, and then he took it seriously, and she was like: Whoooaaaa.

She won't mind him speaking to Roa, either way. She may talk to her herself sometime soon, anyways. She would like to see that knot showing up, though. Especially now she got his hopes up.
