Description: The new Headwoman thinks about this change in her life.
Location: Dolphin Cove Weyr
Date: month 7, day 17 of Turn 5
Walking down the tunnels, she watched the people who were walking by. Today was going to change the rest of her life and she wanted it to be right. Gently pushing through a crowded turn, she finally managed to get into the dining cavern. It was a few moments as she moved through the line, getting what she wanted.
Watching everyone around her, she slowly made her way to a table and emptied her plates. Once she was done, she took a breath and put away her things. She watched as a girl moved forward to clean the table.
She knew the Weyr. It had been turns since her husband had died, leaving her here to work as a drudge. Quietly, she had done what she was supposed to. With the knowledge that she was ready to take on the ultimate task, she entered her office for the first time.
It would be a long time before she felt like it was really her space. The other woman's influence was everywhere. Still, she couldn't just change everything at first. If it worked, why not leave it? Sighing, she sat in the chair and looked.
"I never would have thought I'd be here, but here I am." Opening the drawers, she went through all of the things and made a mental inventory of what was there and where it was.
"I wonder what the first thing is that I should do.." Of course she had spent time with her predecessor and knew what her duties would be. Qorri didn't want to see the account ledgers just yet, though. She already knew most of the people, since she had worked with them herself.
"Will it be different now?" She frowned and pulled out a klah mug and filled it. The pot was warm and it relaxed her as she sipped. Sitting back, she savored the first few moments of her new occupation, knowing soon it would be some time before that would come again.
"'Course I have to work with the Weyrleaders now. The man will probably stay out of things since I am pretty sure he knows nothing about cooking, cleaning, or chores like that. The Weyrwoman, though..." Chewing on her lip, she swirled the klah in her mouth. "She's young, though."
Once the klah was finished, she headed outside and walked to the storage rooms. She found the silence in the deep caverns beneath the Weyr calming. Looking out into the shadows where the casks, boxes, and other shapes lurked, she thought she heard a tunnelsnake rustling. "This is my life now. I have to do it right."
Rubbing her hands together, she turned and covered the glow basket again before heading out of the cavern and back up to where the sounds of industry could be heard. Watching the people working as she went by, the thought kept repeating in her head. 'Well Qorri what have you done now?'
