Perhaps I can help? (Lysita)

[shadowreine]

Tirlynna was relieved. Kellerth's rising had removed any possible chance of C'lyn deciding Reinth counted as a queen for purposes of determining the weyr's leadership.

Rainbows, it seemed, did not rise often...although she had noticed some restlessness about her dragon lately. She had not even risen when they had been in the past...for years...but that might have had something to do with the lack of suitable males. As lovely as Purth was, he was, in truth, neuter...with no sexual interest whatsoever.

Thus, Tirlynna would not be surprised at all if Reinth were not about to make up for her enforced celibacy. Still. Kellerth *had* risen first. The young woman stood outside the Weyrwoman's office.

Lysita was young and inexperienced. Of course, Tirlynna had no more leadership experience...only experience parenting her niece. Which might help, but...was not really the same thing.

Lysita had been looking over the inventory numbers that the headwoman had given her when Kellerth nudged her mind. Lysita lifted her head, grateful for any break she could get. What it is dearheart? She asked, standing to stretch her legs out from being sat in one position for too long. Tirlynna is waiting for you. The clutch-heavy gold informed her before settling into another doze. Lysita made her way to the office door, pulling aside the curtain to see that Tirlynna was indeed waiting.

"Tirlynna! Please, come in, have a seat." She offered politely, gesturing to the chairs at the table and moving to sit down herself. She reached out to the klah pot that had been brought up only a couple of minute before and poured a second cup, sliding it across the table to Tirlynna.

"Now, to what do I owe the pleasure?" She asked softly, her tone friendly as she smiled at the older woman.

Tirlynna let out a breath. She had been close to Lysita's age. Now she was ten years older...and did wonder, sometimes, that ten years with Bamre had resulted...in, well, nothing. She thought it likely she herself would never be a mother, but Reinth would.

"I came to offer my help." She paused. "I know Reinth's status is a little odd. Technically, I'm not a weyrwoman." Some argued she should be, just by virtue of Reinth's fertility, but... "But I figured you would need extra help right now and I might be qualified to provide some of it."

She hoped Kellerth would lay a good-sized clutch...she truly did.
