Uslanee, watching the whole debacle safely from the kitchens, shook her head, knowing that there was bound to be at least some tension the next morning. She was glad, despite her flitter's frustration, that she wasn't going to be a part of it. She was much too old for all that. And for most of the riders, she noted with a touch of self-deprecation.
T'rin was there enough to notice that P'rin was gone, and so was the weyrling. But Akki and Rhia were gone, too. Barely restraining himself, he looked to see only one person left, the greenrider. In a sort of daze, he took the few steps to her and could only stare.
In the very back of his mind he realized that this was the one sharding female he didn't know, and he'd ended up with only her as an outlet. Hands were leading him and he looked back at her, willing her to follow. Even in his state, he knew he wouldn't much fancy an encounter with one of the drudges, and she wasn't bad-looking. Save me, he thought.
