Adjustments (Open!)

The Candidate Barracks. They were small. Cramped. Impersonal. Bare. And somehow...Rhenaskel actually felt at home here. Somehow, it reminded him of,well, something. He wasn't quite sure what, but it was important and it reassured him on a very basic level and he found that he could tolerate the enclosed and rather lonely space of his room quite well. He didn't have any roommates and the three other empty beds were kind of unnerving, but Rhen usually reassured himself with the fact that it left him less competition for the Eggs on the Sands.

Still, it would be nice to have someone to talk to every now and then. He was aware that were a whole slew of girls on the other side of the barracks and he supposed that even if they were girls, they'd be nice to talk to. Too bad he couldn't flirt with them. The Candidate Masters made it very clear that the boys and girls weren't supposed to be intimate at all, especially with a Clutch on the Sands; Rhen wasn't about to blow his chances on really getting connected with Nyocia Weyr by loving up a girl.

With a sigh, he left his room, heading for the Candidate Common area. He slumped onto one of the rather comfy and lumpy couches the Weyr had set up for the Candidates and got comfortable. It was just after the time when most Candidates had their chores and he hoped that some other Candidate would come strolling along and relieve him of his boredom.

"Ah, the life of a Candidate."

Kyrissa had finished her chores just a short while ago then had a quick shower and changed her clothes. She didn't want other candidates thinking she liked to be dirty, oh shards no. She had been told there was a common room for the candidates but she hadn't been there yet. Now she was headed there, hoping to relax for a while before anything else came up. As she walked through the door she noticed the young guy she'd met on the sands.
"Oh hi there. I didn't think anyone would be here."

Rivkah had done the same chores as Kyrissa yet they hadn't really met or introduced themselves. He had a good scrub down in a bath before he headed to the candidate common room with Tawny on his left shoulder. His brown flit seemed to prefer the left shoulder over the right, yet Rivkah didn't know why. As he walked through the door he noticed the girl he had seen while he had been doing his chores. He also noticed she was talking to a boy, another candidate he had yet to meet.

He walked over to stand halfway between yet to the side of the two.
"Hello fellow candidates. My name is Rivkah, and this here is Tawny." The brown flit gave a friendly chirp at being introduced before rubbing his head against his pet's head. Rivkah reached up and scratched the flit's chin.

Kyrissa turned and frowned as she noticed one of the boys in her chore group. She couldn't remember if they had intoduced themselves or not, but was saved the trouble as the boy introduced himself...and his flit. Well not everyone introduced their flits without being asked the flit's name, yet it was clear this boy didn't want his flit feeling left out.
"Ah, hello. I am Kyrissa. Awww, what a cute looking flit." She reached out and tickled the flit under the chin, letting out a giggle as it licked her fingers.
