Welcome to Gaia! ::

One would think that Darsha would have gotten used to the sight of dragons by now. While she hadn't been a candidate at Trine for long, the place was crawling with flits, whers and dragons - and being an official candidate, she was getting more and more exposure to the amazing beasts and their riders. Far more than she had ever had the chance to interact with when she had been working at the brewery. And yet, Darsha was young. And starstruck. Every dragon she saw she ogled with big starry eyes (though she was learning to do so at a distance) and every dragonrider she looked at with a combination of jealousy and pride. One day, that would be her. She just knew it.

She was just on her way back from helping scrub pots in the kitchen. In truth, it was a job she thought the kitchen drudges should do, but she'd been caught stealing a pie (a measly little pie! And she'd been so hungry!) and as punishment, she'd been made to wash a mountain of dishes. The young girl was feeling tired and slightly irritated, but when she spotted the shining blue hide of a dragon from the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but cheer up. And the girl leaning against the dragon... Darsha recognized her! Not as someone she knew personally, but this was a girl who taught the candidates. Which meant Darsha could easily make up a plausible reason to approach her. Straightening her tunic and smoothing out her hair, she approached Wykla and Kameth, attempting to look as confident as possible though inside her heart was rather in her throat.

"Is there anything I can do for you ma'am?" Darsha asked, hoping that the dragonrider might... well, Darsha didn't really know what she was hoping. But opportunities like this should never be wasted!
