Welcome to Vaioa,

a desert triumvirate of Hold, Weyr, and Mine. Thread's return and bandit raiding brought strife between weyr and hold, but the bandits' recent defeat has returned the region to an uneasy peace. Now, a shipwreck on a forgotten continent and the decision to settle this rediscovered land has opened up a world of opportunity to Vaioa, if only they can handle the dangers.

Lessal couldn't lie still- the thoughts kept bugging him.

Bugging. Monsters seemed to lurk in every corner of his room, watching him and Zara with evil, hungry eyes, and he hugged Zara tighter. Zara scooted closer obediently, but even the comfort of her warm little body couldn't settle him.

He would have to speak to the Candidatemaster. Talk about the situations he'd faced at the Hold, and what might happen at the Weyr.

Zara opened her eyes, whirling gentle yellow in the dark.

"That's it, Miss Zara. We'll have to talk to him. Even you might not be safe."

Zara snuggled under his coat, as he crept down the hall with eyes wide, Eventually, he reached the Candidatemaster's offices and knocked on the one with light still streaming under the door. From there, he waited.

A new clutch meant more candidates, which meant more paperwork to sort through. That had been his explanation to Benesoth’s tired challenge candlemarks ago, and it was the reasoning he hung over his own head now that kept him late. In addition to deciding chore rosters and lessons, all sorts of records needed to be kept updated. These, forgotten somewhat after all the excitement of fresh blacks and graphites, and the Rubikon Lord finally being ousted, were what G'mar focussed on.

Missing the little things, indeed. He found the work somewhat amusing; Tay hadn’t let him live their existence down.

He was sprinkling sand across a freshly inked hide when he heard the knock. A candidate, up past curfew? He doubted anyone else would be seeking him out at this time. Curious, he raised his voice. “Come in. The door is open.”

Methodically, he set the hide aside and cleaned up, giving whoever it was a chance to enter and collect themselves. Candidates, he’d found, were sometimes edgy around the Masters, especially if they were Holdborn. If whoever it was had intended to visit so late he would not rush things. A flicker of thought told him Ben had finally given up on him and gone to sleep. That was probably for the best, too; it was easier to focus without the brown trying to lighten the situation.

"Thank you, sir," Lessal said, slinking inside.

"M-my name is Lessal, and I know that it's after curfew but I couldn't sleep-" here he yawned, trying to hide it all the same- "And I needed, wanted, I mean I wanted to speak with you."

He settled into a chair gingerly, ready to leave if so ordered.

"S-sir, I'm worried about the other boys in the Barracks. What i-i-if I d-d-don't know en-n-ough? They'll hurt me and Zara. They're all so much bigger and stronger than me, I couldn't do anything back if they wanted to hurt me. And…if I Impress wrong, they'll hurt me more."

As he got more and more agitated, the boy beta to rock back and forth, Holder accent becoming more extreme.

Folding his hands neatly before him, G'mar watched the boy settle. Lessal, was it? He remembered the name. Searched from a cot hold not too long ago, if memory served. Had he hosted a class with him yet? Doubtful; the others had done much of the hands-on work so far. Awkward but polite was the impression he gained now, as he stumbled through his explanation. A small smile of encouragement lightened his face.

"Hey- hey now," Suddenly, he wished Ben were awake. The brown was so much better at the consoling aspect of all this. The bullying he could address, but being distressed enough to rock in such a way?

The attentive expression he'd worn quickly morphed into one of concern as he came around the desk, reaching out uncertainly. As cold as it was, he immediately wondered if it were wise to interfere. This was not his element. Was it better to be kind- or brisk? It wasn't like coddling would help the boy in the long run, not if he meant to Stand. But then, he was freshly arrived... In the end, he diverted his path to a side table, scooping up a jug, and soon knelt down to offer Lessal a half filled cup. With his free hand he reached out to steady him, gently, expression kind.

"Easy, Lessal. Here, it's just a bit of klah." It was probably cold by now, but it was the best distraction he had to hand. "If they do anything, you come straight to one of us, all right? We won't let anything happen in these barracks. You're safe here."

He looked to the green flit, smiling. "Are you Zara, little one?" Had something already happened under their noses, to have him so worried? Knowing how troublesome Candidates could be, it wouldn't surprise him, but he hoped that wasn't the case. "Dragons are a lot like fire lizards, in a way. They don't question their choice of bond. What do you mean, Impress wrong?"

It felt like for all that the boy said, he was missing some piece of the puzzle. Perhaps if he kept his voice kind, he might open up about it.

Lessal calmed a bit, not rocking long enough to gulp down the klah.

"Th-thank you, sir." he mumbled into the mug. "I ap-p-preciate it."

Zara nosed G'mar, licking his hand with a tiny green tongue in a gesture of Thank you, I know I'm beautiful, I like you too.

"I mean, if I Impress a low dragon, then I'll be hurt by the bigger dragons. You know…like the big Bronze in the next clutch. There's a boy who says he knows who's gonna Impress what. I got a…a little one."

He waved his hand, then squirmed back into the chair.

"Not that I don't like Greens and Blues and Graphites and Greys…I just don't want them to do to me what they said they were."

The lick made his smile grow, slightly. Not one to overstep his boundaries, however, he pulled his hand away, using it to steady himself against the lip of the desk. He was sweet on the creatures, he had to admit. The idea of getting one for messages was tempting, but not all were as kindly as this green. The possibility of having a flit just as ready to distract as Ben did not appeal.

Still... he could appreciate them, and this one seemed to help the boy a bit.

"Dragons Impress who they want, Lessal. I've seen them pass over likely candidates- bold, sweet, and strong alike- and go straight for a crafter in the stands or a drudge on the sidelines. Whoever it was predicting things is pulling something from nothing. Not that it matters- a dragon is your other half. There's no arguing with that, whether the dragon is small or large." He was beginning to see the problem, possibly. An idea was forming. For Weyrbrats it wasn't even an issue- but for the holdborn, who didn't grow up with an understanding of things...

He frowned, and his pleasant tone turned more serious. "I know it's uncomfortable, but when you say they'll do things to you..." He paused. How to put this. Lessal was so skittish as is, he didn't want to scare the lad further.

"Dragons have their ranks, it's true- but every rider is held accountable for their behaviour. Smaller colours must look to the larger in order to function as a wing in Threadfall, and Queens can and do request favours that must be obeyed. But when you say... do you mean they'll force you? As in in... Flights? I know it's uncomfortable, but I won't reprimand you for speaking wrongly, Lessal. You are here to learn, and I'm here to teach."

If there was a candidate spreading lies, he would speak with the the weyrfolk and have them assigned to the worst chores until such thoughts were gone. Perhaps a lesson on such things would be in order, too, although Weyrlingmasters normally handled such things. Another set he'd have to contact.

"Yessir." Lessal said, voice squeaking on the last syllable. "Flights. They were...well, I mean, they...they were going to turn me into a half-man, sir! Make me eat...Wher-scraps and things. Garbage..." he shuddered, and Zara nosed his cheek.

"I don't want that to happen to me. I want to be a Rider. I would like a big, beautiful dragon, any color would do, but not if I have to...eat things."

Zara settled into his lap now, a small lovely cat, and Lessal started speaking a bit more normally.

"Now that I have t-told you, s-sir," he said, obviously trying to sound mature. "I wish to apol-o-gize for coming in s-so late. I just wanted to make sure that it would not be public, and I could not sleep."

He wheezed a little at the end of this speech, and had to sit very still in order to get his breath fully back.

"A half-man." G'mar had to repeat that, cautiously. There were a few types of people that could refer to, among them those who had lost dragons to thread or accident. Holds, however, sometimes used it as slang. Was that the meaning? It was crude, but no less than some other terms that sprang to mind.

"You don't have to eat anything, Lessal." He paused. This was not something he'd imagine instructing a fresh arrival about. Getting them settled was foremost before anything else, and flights? Well. "No matter the colour of your dragon, you can always lock your door. It makes for a miserable day, I won't lie, but you do not have to do anything you don't want. A female won't rise until you are ready, and a male is the same. If someone does try to force things, send your smart girl here for help."

He twitched his fingers towards the green. "Weyrfolk accept the aspects of flight and flightlust, but they'll step in if you need it."

Again he smiled. He could appreciate the attempt at self collection, and so the rider stood, clasping his hands behind him. "You have permission to wake me if you have a concern, you know. This time, I was thankfully still up and sorting hides."
