How Bad Is It?
J'ren turned from one hallway to another, merging into the line of people that traversed the hallway and found himself alongside the short stature of the woman who had become known to everyone in River Bluff. "Weyrwoman." J'ren's greeting was polite, and warm, his smile matching his tone. He towered above the woman. While some didn't care for her ways, J'ren had yet to have a problem with her. Of course, he had yet to really work with her directly either. "Good day to you." "Good day to you as well Wingsecond," she replied in kind as she kept walking. She was a little better at using the main tunnels, but wouldn't venture out past that by herself yet. "Where are you headed?" "To my weyr, actually." J'ren inclined his head, merely a vague gesture in response to his words. "Going to look over some of the new formations, make sure I have them properly memorized. And you?" "I'm supposed to meet with most of the Weyr's fostermothers. Have to figure out who has how many children and all of that.." One of her duties was to assign Weyrbrats to the proper fostermother and she took it seriously. They might be future riders and should be brought up well. "Ever working. I do hope you find some time to relax." J'ren clasped his hands behind his back, glancing to the woman as he walked beside her. "Once I figure out what I'm doing, I think I'll have more time. Now, I'm having to scramble to learn what I need to." Of course it didn't help that there wasn't a proper transition from Zharesti, but Rhosyn was a fighter. She'd whip the place into shape once she got her legs under her. "Don't be afraid to ask for help, Weyrwoman." J'ren offered, his voice warm and his smile matching it. "Many here would be glad to help you in whatever way they can." An appreciative study was given, brief, but curious, as if trying to make a decision of some sort. "K'sedel has been very accommodating and I do have Lenala and Ariau to delegate to. Once I figure out just what needs delegating and which one of them is best for it, that is." Rhosyn gave a small self-deprecating laugh. "Don't worry about me, Wingsecond. I am a lot of things, but afraid is not one of them." "I never thought you were afraid." J'ren assured her, his smile growing wider and he allowed a small chuckle to escape. "I just don't want you to wear yourself out. There are good people here. Put them to good use." "I intend to as soon as I realize who and where they are." Rhosyn had met some of the people she knew she'd be working with, but there were others she still hadn't seen. That didn't mean she hadn't already scheduled a day for that, however. "Pft...a rider's work is never done. A Weyrwoman's work is never begun." "I hope that doesn't hold true, Weyrwoman." J'ren commented with a soft chuckle. He shook his head and clapped his hands together where they held their position behind his back. "Otherwise the Weyr would be in chaos." "Can't have that. K'sedel would probably have me exiled." She smiled to herself. Rhosyn actually thought well of the older Weyrleader. It was nice to have decades of experience behind her. "What did you think of Zharesti?" "Why do I have a feeling you have asked that same question before?" J'ren managed a tight smile. "She was...rather strong willed and certainly didn't seem to care much about what people thought about her. She had her opinions and wasn't afraid to voice them." That sounded a lot like herself. What was it that made it a bad thing? "Maybe I should rephrase...why do people have such a bad reaction when her name is brought up?" "Ah, well now, that's a bit of a different question." J'ren's brow furrowed as he considered the question, jaw tightening, then relaxed. "Zharesti...she had in mind the way things should be. She thought what she was doing was what was best for the Weyr, but in truth, I don't think she realized that all it did was demoralize those around her, which is _not_ good for the Weyr. The most unpopular of her decisions was to force everyone of age in the Weyr to stand, whether that person wanted to or not, no matter if they were lower caverns workers or craftspeople. There were quite a few people rather upset by that proclamation." Rhosyn thought about that. One the one hand, she could think of a few situations where that would make sense. However, by all accounts this had not been one of those. "Right...well hopefully I don't manage to make everyone want to throw me off the Rim, at least during the first few sevendays leastwise." "Well, I haven't heard any suggestions that should be done, unlike when Zharesti was around." There was a soft chuckle from the bronzerider. "Though I had no intent on doing so even though I disagreed with her opinions. In truth, I've not heard any complaints." Yet. It was rare, if nigh impossible, to have a Weyrwoman where no one at all complained. "I don't..care if people like me either way. However, I do want to do a good job. Breaking a Weyr is not one of my life's ambitions." This was her time to prove herself and she was going to make the best of it. "I'm sure not everyone likes K'sedel, but I bet they respect him." "Being liked and being respected are two different things." J'ren's comment was dry and there was a twist at his mouth, as if holding back a smile. "I'll not lie to you, people are watching, waiting to see what you do, see if you're anything like the Weyrwomen we've had before, there will be comparisons, but as long as you do what is best for the Weyr and keep in mind the people here are people and they too are part of the Weyr, I think you'll do just fine." "I appreciate the vote of confidence. Well I'm going that way, but I'm sure we'll see each other around. Clear skies to you." Rhosyn popped a mock salute before turning down another tunnel.
