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.

"The retired Weyrleader's dragon? Yeah I've seen him. With a hide like that, it's impossible to miss him. Heard his rider got all kinds of messed up by that Rubikon arsehole's wher and that's why he resigned. I don't blame the poor guy; who wants to lead the Weyr with one eye and a bum hip? I thought Shalagoth was much more impressive. He was as big as a queen! I wonder why he didn't win Cirseth's flight..."

He trailed off, staring as the watchrider's dragon stretched his enormous wings and yawned, curly tongued, before settling down into a position that just screamed I'm bored! Barrez laughed out loud. Dragons could look remarkably human sometimes with their mannerisms. There was so much expression to those faces that one didn't notice from afar. Up close, they were nearly as mobile as human faces and he was becoming more adept each day at understanding them. When he had his own dragon, Barrez imagined he'd be able to tell a dragon's mood at a glance, without looking at their eyes.

"I like the greens," he said at last, still smiling. "They're the fastest. And no one really expects most of them to do things like lead wings or Weyrs. They can do important stuff but they gotta really work for it. I just wanna fly as far and as fast as I can, as often as I can. They do all the fun acrobatic stuff! Blues can too but...well they're not as crazy in the air. Wouldn't turn one down though. Any dragon would be nice."

Fira hummed softly, picking up on the direction of his thoughts and replying with very faint images of flying and the Weyr as seen from above. He soaked it all up and stored it away in his mind to enjoy later when he wouldn't be judged for the goofy grin it put on his face. Jays, he wished she was big enough to carry him around!

"You know they don't let kids like me fly thread until we're sixteen? They stick us on passenger duty and we get to be the ones ferrying around important holders. Get to go alllllllll over Pern without throwing ourselves into Thread on a daily basis until we get old enough to matter to the higher ups." There was a wistful look to his features as he added, "I wish I'd been born outside a Pass. Fighting thread sounds awful."

"I don't know what I'll do once, I mean, if, I Impress," Lessal said, staring out at the 'Bowl. "I'd rather be a Dragonhealer. I'm so scared to fly Fall...have you ever seen it? What it looks like, all that writhing horrible stuff? Can't you imagine it touching you? How horrible is that?"

Frankly, he didn't know much about being a Dragonhealer, but he did know that it seemed to involve organizing, telling people it was going to be okay, and not flying Fall, though you would be atending to scored Riders. That sounded okay, in his book.

"I've seen what it does to people," Barrez said with a shiver. "It burrows into them and eats em up so fast that if they don't go between right away, they're gone in seconds. I don't think I could handle the infirmary on a daily basis, it's pretty scary sometimes."

In his own shift there, he'd been witness to an injured brown whose pained moaning had haunted his dreams for days afterwards. He couldn't imagine getting a dragon only to lose it in such a horrible fashion. Barrez was determined that he and his dragon would be over prepared. And they'd find some way to stay out of the worst of it. It wasn't cowardly, it was just good self preservation.

They'd be helpful some other way.

"Well anyways, don't have to worry about it for turns and turns, and they'll teach us how to take care of ourselves. You gotta take the bad with the good too, you know? They say that Impression doesn't fix all your problems or make life easy, but it can't really make it that much worse. I'd say a dragon is worth the slight possibility of maybe getting eaten alive, wouldn't you?"

"I suppose not,"Lessal said, pulling his jacket tighter around his body. "No...I think it's more likely that we'll get eaten by thread once we Impress then that we Impress anyways."

He rubbed his nose, hugging his knees closer.

"I don't even know...I'm sorry, Bez, I just wish that I could know if I'm Impressing or not. If not, I'm just going to disappear. I might not be a very good Healer, you know? What if I mess that up, too?"

Zara shrugged along with him, rubbing her face against her boy's.

"Well."

Barrez stood and deposited Fira on his shoulder before stretching. He wiggled the kinks out of his fingers, and then smiled down at Lessal. "I don't plan on dying horribly. I'm gonna be an old bastard some day, yelling at weyrlings and weyrbrats to have a little respect. I'm gonna last out the Pass for sure."

He winked at the other candidate, wearing his confidence like a suit of armor. "That should be your goal too, instead of worryin' about Thread. We can both give it the finger someday. How does that sound?"

Him and his dragon would take Pern by storm. He fully intended to lapse into comfortable retirement when thread stopped raining from the skies. They'd avoid the worst of it and live life to the fullest, see every corner Pern had to offer, and meet every last interesting person on the planet. He liked to imagine taking a tour of the Weyrs of Pern, spending some time in each of them rather than settling down.

Vaioa was home but home was boring.

"Well...okay." Lessal said, measuring the words. He certainly didn't believe them, but he wanted to. "I'd like to get old, too. With a dragon, and Zara. Maybe we could hang out then?" he looked shyly at Bez, trying to gauge the other boy's reaction. He was so kind, but so confident in everything he did! No wonder he'd Impressed a Gold, he'd surely get whatever he wanted in life.

"Er...would you like some beads or stones? I have a very nice collection and I'd love to share."

Barrez's smile was kind, his green eyes bright with amusement. Lessal would make decent weyrfolk yet as long as he kept his head up and his wits about him.

"We can hang out now, if you want. A dragon is not a condition for being friends, you know. I'll make sure to introduce you to mine after the hatching. I know there's one in there waiting for me. Just feels right, you know?"

Maybe it was his overconfidence talking. Barrez told himself he wouldn't be heartbroken if he left those scalding sands empty-handed. Maybe a month from now, Lessal would be the one with a dragon and he'd be waiting in the candidates barracks for another half a year for a queen to decide to rise. Waiting would seem like forever, no matter what happened, but the weyrbrat resolved to not be resentful. That sucked all the fun out of things.

"Alright," he said, shaking himself free from his own thoughts. "Show me! I oughta head inside anyways before the candidate master gets up my tailfork about curfew."

He gestured toward the yawning doorway and held Fira steady on his shoulder as he slipped inside the barracks, hopefully with Lessal on his tail. For tonight at least, he'd have company for this long, abominable wait. That was enough for now.
