Christae followed Miya into the Candidate's barracks. She sighed. She hated being the Weyrwoman sometimes.
"Miya, you can't keep acting this way. I hate to be like this but as the Weyrwoman it is my job. I know that there must be some good reason for your actions and I intend to find out. You could have a lot of friends here if you did not act so."
"I am not really mad at you, just frustrated. Nothing we do seems to get through to you. I want you to tell me what caused the chip you seem to have on your shoulder." She sat down on the cot in the room the girl had chosen.

"There is truely nothing I can do about my attitude. My parents always wanted me to follow them and be a harper. They always bossed me around to make me the perfect harper. They were both just so stubborn. Then one day I just broke down. I shouted and arhued for the first time in my life. My parents were...well...scared, and the backed off. Ever since then I have just been agitated so easily. I am unhappy becuase of this. I cannot control my actions sometimes. I don't wish to hurt anyone, I rally don't. I just need my spaced and I really don't like when people try to change me...It makes me feel like my parents are back to bossing me like when I was younger.' Miya sighed, as she opened up for the first time. She really hated it but knew that it was her only chance to stay at the weyr. "I just really want a chance to impress. To make a bonding friend who doesn't freak out everytime I do. Someone who won't try to change me at all."

Miya looked up at Christae, after she took a deep breath. "Are you going to send me home?" she asked worridly. Her dark brown eyes glanced at the door before returning her gaze to Christae.

Christae sighed. "No I am not sending you home. We don't want to change you but we don't want you to be rude. You insulted us deeply with your attitude towards Tirith's death and if that is the only reason why you want a dragon then you do not deserve one. Dragons are more complex than people sometimes. They each have their own personalities with their own talents and faults and you need to understand that. We lost one of those special creatures and you did not care."
"We do not think we are better than anyone else just because we are dragonriders. You were wrong to say such a thing without even knowing us as people. We simply were very upset by your attitude and total disregard for a dragon's death."

Miya sighed. "It's not that I don't care about the death it is just that I decided not to sulk. I simply said many dragon's die, nothing was intended that her death was not improtant. I just don't sulk that often. It would be difficult to be upset everytime some kind of living creature died." Miya looked at Christae. I tend to generalize so I am sorry if I seem like I am insulting someone. I am just saying that many dragonriders do think to highly of themselves and that I don't want other dragonriders to be like that. I really don't want to ruin things."

"You need to learn that not all dragonriders are the same. Dragonriders and people are all different. We are struggling to keep from going under and having to send our riders to other weyrs. Does that make us the same as another weyr? Do you think we can think highly of ourselves when we are working so hard to stay alive?" Her voice was gentle. "We didn't expect you to sulk. We were in mourning, not sulking and you make it sound as if a dragon did not matter. That is what upset us."

"Well I am sorry but many times my words sound worse then they really are." Miya sighed and looked at Christae. "Is that all?" she asked wondering if her torment was over. She hated bieng the center of attention, though that was often gained by her attitude problem.

"I suppose it is but I do expect you to apologize to Candidate Kia and bronzerider G'han. I want you to try to make friends here. We all need friends." She looked thoughtful thinking of her own friends with a smile.

Miya sighed. She wanted to say that she already apoligized to Kia but decided against it.With that Miya walked out of her barrack, leaving Christae sitting on her messy bed.

Christae watched her go and then rose. She still had things to do. She would ask Rhia to take over some of the messenger assignments. The brownrider would welcome the chance to fly between after her long absence on the wing.
