"Can you believe D'ark actually expected one of US to help lead?" Tamara asked with a laugh as she stuffed her face full of bubbly pie. She wasn't her mother. And she didn't want to be in charge. Too many rules and expectations and MEETINGS. It wasn't her fault all of Moonshot was in the sick bay! She was doing her part! She was helping! "Didn't we do enough by switching wings for them? Why should we get paperwork on top of it?" She missed Starfall so much. Where everyone knew Requeth and Hazeth and didn't try to make them do anything they couldn't. She should have just said no to this whole thing from the start. |

While Tamara was going for the bubbly pies, E'nai went for cookies. There hadn't been as many of them made lately as there had the past several Turns, and nobody really seemed to know why. A shame, that. He liked cookies. "Forget the paperwork aspect. Neither Hazeth nor Requeth is even a remotely good idea to be in charge. I can't imagine it going very well with either of them. Not that D'ark is much better, he doesn't seem to have the slightest clue what he's doing." |

"Yep. Requeth bites people and Hazeth never talks," Tamara nodded in sage understanding. They'd been flying together since weyrlinghood except that one time he went off to war and never told her about it, "Plus...us. Although I bet I could too better than D'ark. How DID he wind up in charge? He doesn't know formations, he doesn't know us AND he appointed a barely graduated weyrling as his second." Temporary...but still! It was an insult to them both! Even if neither of them really wanted to do it, "Chekov should have come and led the wing. I like Chekov. I don't want want to follow some foreigner." She was High Reaches born and raised and they had too many outsiders in command already. |

"Even Anaiya or L'ten. I know their dragons are too small to stay in Moonshot permanently, but just to lead until we get someone more suitable in place... Though Anaiya I know has plenty else on her mind." Not that there was much of a wing to lead. There were hardly any of them, and that was including those of them who had come from the other wings. "But anyway, I don't think Chekov is an option right now. Still doesn't mean someone else couldn't have done it. Just about anyone else, really." |

"Well why couldn't they stay? They're good fighters and Moonshot needs numbers. Plus...they could run a real practice. And would know better than to give US paperwork," Tamara said, blowing the hair out of her eyes. Her mom might like that sort of thing but she fancied having a life. One that wasn't spent entirely in some office, "He could lead from his sickbed. It'd still have been better. Xander should have moved someone competent. Who's not us. We still have SOME of those not in the sick bay I'm sure. Why not give us one of Firestorm's? They have TWO that know what they're doing. Keeping them both for themselves is just greedy."

"Because I don't think the smaller dragons could manage in the mid wings long-term. I still think they'd be fine temporarily though." E'nai rolled his eyes at the thought of paperwork. His penmanship was bordering on illegible, plus he just hated the work. Summoning the willpower to do it would have been borderline impossible. There were just so many other things far more worthy of his time. Just about everything else, really. "And I don't want Firestorm's second anywhere near any Wing I'm in. They can give us Myalla but... Not the bronze." |

"They're never giving us Myalla," Tamara all but rolled her eyes. Really that was exactly who they needed and who they SHOULD have. She was a brownrider. And not of one of those giant browns either. Why COULDN'T she stick around Moonshot forever and save them from D'ark? "They SHOULD. She SHOULD have been ours to begin with. But all those shinyriders'd put up a fit about Z'kon being wingleader. And even now...Xander kowtows. Have you HEARD how he talks about that gold as if that's going to fix all our problems?" |

"Yeah, but she's the only one of Firestorm's leadership that I'd fly under. They try to put a bronze in charge, I'm going back to Starfall. I'm not doing that again." E'nai had put up with that more than long enough under Golre. There was no chance he'd stick around for it this time. "And yeah, I have. No gold is going to solve our problems though, only make them worse." |

"Agreed," Tamara nodded. She hadn't had it so bad really under Golre but that didn't mean she'd been BLIND. Or wanted to go back to that. She was a bluerider, after all, no matter who her mother happened to be, "Plus...he kind of creeps me out. WAY too intense. It sure would be nice to have a real High Reachan in charge. Like Myalla. I mean I know she left for a while but she's still one of us. The bronzeriders don't care as much because Golre treated them fine so we should get her." They weren't going to get Z'brin or Chekov or anyone else from Starfall so Myalla would simply have to do. Let the bronzeriders boss each other around for a change. "I KNOW. Even TERMINATH tried to compel us. Just make some other weyrs give us the garnets they don't want anyway. Or the greens so long as they don't make them chew firestone first." Why should they have to anyway if they were coming to High Reaches who WELCOMED greens clutching? There were plenty of blues and whites to flame! |
