The emotions washed over the entire Weyr. Tirlynna had been...asleep, something for which the rainbowrider would likely not forgive herself for a very long time indeed.
A very long time.
It was her duty to protect, but she sensed the depth of her failure, and the depth of the destruction.
Had things gone the way her brother intended, she would be Weyrwoman now. He had not predicted Reinth. Reinth...who was almost, but not quite, a queen.
"Reinth. Call the queens. We need to get everyone calmed *down* before they do anything stupid." She stepped out onto her ledge, picking up the rainbow's straps as she did so.
Before they...and she heard Kilith's cry of anger and loss. She knew exactly who was about to do the something stupid. Her brother. Who's weyrmate was dying, who would likely never again be Weyrleader, who's child was dying inside its mother.
She knew where he would be, but she also know Reinth could not restrain Kilith. A blue or a green, maybe, but a bronze in this state could only be held back by the senior...and the senior was in no state to be doing so.
Her own grief would have to wait.
