Description: Salubri gets some payback.
Location: Dolphin Cove Weyr
Date: month 13, day 8 of Turn 4
Salubri had managed to get a nice glop of dragondung earlier in the day and secured it in a covered pot. It was nice to have friends who were dragonhealers and she had access to the grounded dragons - and their excrement. She would certainly put it to good use.
The girl waited until it was late at night and everyone was asleep. She sat up in bed and looked around, then slipped from the covers to procure the pot along with a stick to help get it out. She crept over to Cosani's bed and, using the stick, stuck the dung into her boots and shoved it as far in as possible. Then she tiptoed out, disposed of the pot and went back to bed. Come morning, Cosani would have her own little surprise.

Cosani took her clothes out of her trunk, first carefully checking. She didn't expect the girls to be very creative, so she wouldn't have been very surprised to find a tunnel snake nestled in with her clothes. But there was nothing. She dressed and pulled on her socks. There was an awful smell coming from somewhere, but she tried to ignore it. The barracks were always full of weird smells. She got just a little suspicious right before she slid her foot into her boot. The wet squish told her everything she needed to know. Cosani grimaced and pulled her foot back out. Her sock was slimed with dung.
Salubri had been watching out of the corner of her eye, careful to be able to see without looking like she was watching. Her mouth quirked up into a satisfied smirk as she began to rummage through her trunk. She had been careful to keep it locked ever since Cosani had gotten a hold of it.
Cosani pulled off her soiled sock and dropped it into her boot. She pulled off her other sock and put it on her bed. Inside, she was fuming, and would have liked nothing more than to strangle each and every one of those girls. But she did her best to keep her face calm. They wanted a reaction, they wanted her to scream or throw a fit, and she wasn't going to give them that satisfaction. She'd focus her energy on planning, figuring out the best way to get them back.
Cosani pulled her sandals from under her bed and put them on. Then she picked up her foul smelling boots and went to go find one of the Weyrlingstaff, or one of the assistant headwomen, if they happened to be around.
Well, she didn't scream or throw a tantrum, but Salubri was still satisfied. Of course, she knew that Cosani was going to have something up her sleeve. As the candidate closed the trunk and locked it, she steeled herself. This, she knew, was only the beginning.
