He has a female friend he can trust, so now it's time to open up to a guy. Any takers?
Jessmyr? he certainly needs friends too.
Is there anything they could bond over?
Well, Jessmyr feels outsider and bitter because his heart defect prevents him to doing what he wants to do.
Would Aluka be able to turn him on to music, maybe? There're some instruments that aren't too strenuous, right?
Could give it a try. He's never ever thought about learning music.
What kind of chores does Jessmyr do now?
Whatever his condition allows him to do. Takes messages within the Weyr, assists P'nal, helps crippled riders with their everyday tasks, he's done shifts in Creche and kept company to elders and other misc. lower cavern jobs. He doesn't have any training, so he does jobs which doesn't require special skills.
I sent out a start. Did it get through okay?
Yes, I got it. I just haven't answered yet. I've been slooowww.
As long as my e-mail client isn't screwing with me, all's well.
