Big Ship Enters Harbor

[Franny]

(Using adoptable Messa)

Messa started out at the harbor that was approaching. She had enjoyed the trip over the sea and the talks with the dolphins when the captain had stopped to talk to them. Now that she was finally here, she was a touch unsure of herself. There were so many other drudges here looking for a job that she wasn't sure she would find one. She smiled as the Dolphins escorted the ship into the harbor. She estimated that about 60 people were disembarking here to either find a job around here or to watch the hatching.

Her mother had insisted that she come here and stop looking after a dying mother. Her mother had caught an unknown disease and had been dieing. Her father had been a dragonrider that her mother had fallen in love with at a gather. Her mother had never seen him again and they had been living on her mother's wages her whole life. When her mother had finally died, she had left for here after being announced clean of the disease by healers.

She smiled out at the people waiting at the harbor, a new life was before her now. Just then, she felt Cafao land on her shoulder smelling distinctly of the fish she had left for him to eat. Together, she and her flit would start a new life.

Bamre decided to see all the people getting off the ships at the harbor. He decided it was a chance to get used to large crowds before the hatching. He waiting as he saw the ship coming in taking a large breath to prepare himself. He felt Iron tighten his tail around his neck. He felt reassured by the firelizards presence as he stood there waiting for the ship.

Overhead, large wings carried Kilith, leaving the eggs briefly to give his rider a lift to the docks...and a view of the ship. Passengers, workers, supplies that Allride could not make themselves.

It was a beautiful sight. Kilith could not touch down that close, the big bronze backwinging to a landing on a nearby beach. C'lyn dismounted, patting his dragon on the shoulder, and walked to the docks to personally greet the new arrivals. And keep an eye on them...

[Franny]

Messa saw the bronze arrive and decided that he must be the weyrleader, here to personally greet them himself! She could understand why the goldrider Kelyna wasn't here, what, with her dragon's eggs on the sands and her being pregnant it wasn't safe for that kind of thing. She also saw a couple people around the harbor, probably others that already worked there coming to greet new workers. They might also be candidates though, just coming to greet other candidates. Maybe she could be a candidate. She was of the correct age! But no, she wasn't the right class, she was worker class, not dragonrider class. Supposedly class didn't matter, or so her mother told her, but in truth, she believed that it mattered a lot.

C'lyn stepped out onto the docks. He raised his voice a little. "Welcome to Allride."

A good sixty people, and they all seemed to be able bodied, most relatively young, a few children...he was gratified to see those. When people brought their families, they were far more likely to stay than the single people.
