A M A R I & A M A S K

It was early. At least for the whers, it was. They should have just been waking up, in fact. It was only sunset, and the sky was still brilliant red. But that didn't really matter anyway. The lesson was going to be held simply within the comforts of the wherling common room, where there were plenty of chairs for the students and with plenty of space for their whers. Amari waited at the front of the room, smiling and nodding at the wherlings as they came in. Amask was curled up next to her feet, clearly sleepy and trying very hard to stay awake. Often, his eyes would close and his head would drop, but he caught himself before falling. It was rather amusing, actually, and might be some distraction.

Good evening, Wherlings. It's good to see you again. You slept well, I hope?

Waiting only for a few of the expected murmurs, she continued on. Amask's eyes drifted further closed.

We're talking about your duties today. Wher handlers may have very many different duties. Of course the same will be true here. You may continue in your craft, or you may commit entirely to the business of handling a wher. Of course, R'kol will continue to be a dragonrider.

She smiled and nodded to said rider, and Amask too started to nod.

However, the basic duties of a wher handler are generally the same. You will be expected to aid the Weyr in searching the tunnels at night. For whatever reason there might be... And you will also have to fight any thread that falls at night. That is the main purpose of whers, and therefore is what you will most often be expected to do.

Finally, Amask's eyes closed completely and his head fell to the ground. Amari looked down at him for a few seconds, then abruptly looked back up.

Any questions?

R'kol and Bronze Rahsk
Isra and Green Isrask
Derrin and Brown Derrisk
Renlia and White Renlisk

((R'kol and Rahsk are here, pay attention to lesson. Rahsk is sleepy and dozes off in adorable and silly fashion. He's woken up by R'kol, who nods to tell he understands everything, grins back, etc. R'kol shakes his head, says he has everything.

Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah <<))

Renlisk yawned, blinking his multifaceted eyes rapidly to keep from dozing off. Renlia grinned, amused by her drowsy wher. He should be more awake soon, but she wouldn't be surprised if he fell asleep during the lesson. Rahsk looked tired too, and Renlia giggled as he kept nodding off.

She became more serious as Amari gave the lecture. Threadfighting at night sounded exciting, and she would enjoy exploring the caves. She might consider picking up a Craft too, if she had time. Not Harper, though. She wasn't about to hear an "I told you so" from her father.
