- 'THIS IS MY PLACE!!! WHY IS SHE HERE! AND HER RIDER IS A STUPID HARPER! ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE NUISANCES!' Malefeth screamed to Laeydon as the Laeydon washed her. It had been like this since the new gold came to the Weyr. Every day, every night, all she did was complain about Moradinth and J'ne. 'And that name? What kind of female is she? A fake one. A fake goldrider. A fake gold. blah. We don't need her. It was bad enough that one other was here, and she was okay because she made me, but now HER.' she complained. Laeydon kept washing Malefeth's neck, use to this constant banter.
"Dear, you should talk to some of your siblings. Maybe they can calm you down... How about...' and before Laeydon could say anything else Malefeth spotted Tiluth. 'Beautiful sister of mine, what do you think about this new gold? Soon there will be a clutch. We will no longer be the youngest.' she said. Hopefully Tiluth would agree with her, if not it could get ugly.
Laeydon waved over to Katya. "Hey!" she called hoping the girl would come over and talk. It would be nice to be able to talk to someone who wasn't screaming at her at all times. Someone sensible.
