RCWh
FVSH
- T'rint gets upset when he realizes that Ql'rin, his weyrmate, is not only watching him oil Erelth but also sketching them.

- Fearing that his weyrmate, T'rint, might be not telling him the whole truth about what the healers are saying about his recovery, Ql'rin unexpectedly shows up in the Infirmary on a lame excuse so as to join T'rint for his regular check-up. Though T'rint denies keeping anything from him, Ql'rin soon learns that this isn't entirely true.
- While waiting for a Wing meeting to start, Ql'rin strikes up a conversation with one of his wingmates: M'ei, a greenrider recently transferred in from Great Falls Weyrhold.

- Strutting into the bathing chamber his weyr shared with Gr'vael's is the last place that Or'bel expected to see Wyrraen -- a sadist and former one-night-stand of the greenrider's.
