Oria

Any idea why we chosse healing?" Aletta asked with a sigh.

"Because nobody told us about bedpans and bandage rolling?" suggested Oria as she handed the other girl another of the contraptions. "At least we're just putting these away, washing them out is far, far worse."

Aletta shudered. "At least I can say Farsith is calling when _that_ duty comes up."

"Doesn't work all the time. Degrorth can only be an excuse for so long,"
laughed Oria.

"Which is why I save it for a turly messy job. Cutting up her meals was easier. The best excuse of all was her flight not too long ago. No one argues with that."

"No they don't." Oria had a knowing look on her face.

Aletta giggled for a moment. "Flights can be si much fun."

"Oh yes, especially if you like the winner."

"Lets say you like someone who is not a rider, in fact he is a crafter. What would you tell him about flights?"

"Well I wouldn't tell him _all_ the details. I mean, I guess he knows the basic facts, but it might upset him to know more than that."

"The basic facts have freaked him out enough as is."

"Then don't tell him anymore, unless he asks."

"I just wish there was a way to make him see that I am no diffrent than who he thought I was before."

"That I don't know, maybe you might try talking to one of the older greenriders?"

"I'll ask Tavia, mabye she'll know."

"Good choice."

"Hand me the rest of those would you? I think these are the last sets." she pointed the remaining bandages.

"Sure," said the other girl. "You got plans for later?" she asked.

"Not tonight I thought about talk to Figol but I figure he's still upset."

"I think R'wam and some others were having a bit of a get together. I was going to go. You want to come too?"

"Sure, sounds like fun." _Anything_ to get her mind off Figol.

"Nothing heavy, just a few hands of poker and a chat."

"Anything I should bring?"

"Nibbles, you know little cakey type things."

"I can do that. Mabye something sweet to drink, to counter anything else?"
she suggested.

"I suspect R'wam might have an ale or two there."

"What time to we meet?" she asked.

"A candlemark or so after dinner?"

"Sure" Aletta put the last of the suplies on the shelf. "See you then?"

"You will."
