A Quiet Entrance

[nabisco]

Karstag walked through the hallway slowly, running his hand along the wall. The rock here felt a bit rough on his hands, but not unpleasant. Almost a little warm, which is something he wasn't expecting. Then again, so far none of this has been what he's expected. Smiling, he remembered how incredible the view was on his way in. The lake, the mountainside, everything worked together to make the Weyr look spectacular. Absent mindedly wiping his hand on his shirt, he looked down the corridor, lost in his memory. With a smile, he softly said, "Beautiful..."

Being new to the weyr, Q’sin still got a little disorientated around this place, he kept feeling like he was back at home, like the next right would take him to the kitchens, and the proceeding left would take him to the Weyrwoman’s office. However. His automatic paths did not replicate here in Dark Moon. He took a left, then a right, hoping this would lead him in the direction of the bowl, he thought it did, and his ok sense of direction lead him certainly not deeper into the weyr.

He huffed as he looked about him, shards but these corridors needed some features! They were quite bare, and he felt as though they were almost purposefully so, just to confuse newcomers. He frowned for a moment, then he spotted another. Who wasn’t rushing hastily to or away from somewhere, nay, the lad looked thoughtful. Q’sin stopped in his tracks (his depth perception not fantastic with his one ruined eye), surveying the youngster, he thought he had not seen him before… certainly didn’t look familiar.

He approached the lad, who seemed to be reminiscing to himself “You alright lad?” Q’sin probably looked quite imposing, tall, strong, blind in one eye, and scruffy dark brown hair, but he was easy enough to get along with on a good day.

Karstag jumped at the sound of Q'sin's voice, immediately coming back to reality. "Oh! Er, yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking about the view is all." He mumbled quietly as he looked down, looking up at the blue Rider anxiously. Oh geez, this guy looks tough Karstag thought as he noticed how strong Q'sin looked.

"Ah, I was wondering, I just got here and I don't know where anything is. Do you know where to go? This place is really confusing." Karstag chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head.

Q’sin’s hardened appearance softened a little, so the lad was lost also. “Well, to know where to go, first it’s a good idea to know where you are wanting to go” He smiled, “But aye, this place is a maze if I’ve ever seen it, its certainly not like my old weyr.” His face contorted a little, for he’d never see the place again. “I’ve not been here long myself lad, but I know enough of how to get around, where would you be going then?” He asked as he leant against the wall, his thoughts straying to the view Karstag had mentioned.

“The view here is nice, Southern’s an odd place, the grubs here make the bowl greener than any field in the north.” He looked at the thick grass. It was really nice to see it, but quite alien to him, a rider of Northern for 14 long turns.

Then suddenly he realised he had forgotten any sort of manners, “Ah! Forgive me,” He held out his hand towards Karstag, “Q’sin, rider of blue Chaovith, transfer from a northern weyr into G’han’s wing” He gave a quick summary of what he had done recently, omitting some small details.
