Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kindra was wrapping bandages that had come unrolled, passing them to Narisa for stacking or whatever it was she was doing, she was distracted, trying to get Suunath to relay the chatter from the fighting dragons but Suunath refused, it would do her no good in the end. She blinked when she heard her name and turned to Narisa? "Hmm?" she queried, realising she'd missed something. "Sorry... i just... i hate this, being stuck here" she sighed, finishing rolling that bandage up, passing it to Narisa and beginning on another. Pretty soon injured would be incoming and she'd have no real time for worrying about anything but the hurt in front of her.

She was always waiting for some reason or another... waiting for lessons, being told she couldn't train with the other weyrlings when learning to fight thread, waiting for escorts, always unable to ACT because of one thing or another and she was sick of it, she wanted to snap, to take to the skies with the other dragons... even if it was just helping the weyrlings with firestone.. but she knew, as Benden's ONLY Goldrider, she couldn't risk losing Suunath, or even having her badly hurt. Not that Kindra wanted to risk her dragon but she wanted to DO something, as if in response, her leg ached a little. She winced as she was reminded of what happened the last time she got involved in the fighting.

Suunath didn't croon but gave her rider the feeling of utmost trust and love, her eyes mirroring Cepheith's in response to Thread and the fact her Dragons were fighting, she didn't intrude though, knowing that they would need to concentrate, a reason she didn't relay the chatter to Kindra, she knew Tyeth had his Wing in hand and while she didn't know the Crimson leading the Wings, if she was a Wingleader then she was more than capable in her mind. If there were any problems she knew Tyeth would tell her but she knew how much Kindra worried about Tyeth's. "Tyeth's will be alright Mine, if he wasn't i would tell you, we need to remember that EVERY dragon and rider right now is just as important as Tyeth and His" she said, picking up on the man constantly at the forefront of Kindra's mind lately, waking and asleep... sometimes. "Yes, there was Threadfall when i was at Benden, we had much to do, i am older, bigger now, i will follow your lead" she said to Cepheith, deferring slightly to the older Gold at the same time reminding her that it wasn't her first time helping during Thread... in a polite way of course. She liked sitting doing nothing right now, no more than the older Gold did but she was more used to not being involved, having been kept from much at Benden as a result of Kestril's death and her being one of Twins from the same egg. There had been much set on hers, and Kindra's shoulders at Benden, there was less for her to aspire to here but that didn't mean she wouldn't work hard at what she could.

Kindra sighed at her dragon and got a chair, it would do her no good for her leg to ache too much now, in time it would probably only hurt in bad weather but nerve endings deep in muscle were still repairing, despite the surface of her wounds being practically invisible aside from the scarring. She was just waiting.... waiting for the first badly injured dragon and rider to return from threadfall, she'd hate for it to be a Benden rider returning first, knowing N'mol AND Tyeth.. they'd have to be totally out of the fight to return already.

Kindra was trying not to remember the last time she'd done this, the screaming of Dragons.. the cries of riders that lost their beloved lifemates, there hadn't been many but it was enough that she cherished her Dragon for a long while after, long after the Gold had forgotten exactly why her rider had been so disturbed. Trying to keep everyone calm while trying to sort out those that could wait and those that needed immediate attention had been hard on Kindra but then.. she'd have the fact she was respected and had the backing of the Weyrleader .. here.. well here there were going to be dragons and riders that, despite knowing her as Benden's Gold and rider, weren't going to know her at all and that was going to be hard to get them to trust her to look after them. Dragons were easier, they'd defer to the Gold.. they had to.

She sat down heavily on the chair and rubbed her leg "Yeah, glad i can get off that shaffing crutch N'mol got for me though" she said with an affectionate chuckle for the man. It was obvious she cared a lot about him even if they weren't weyrmates or anything. She'd been avoiding that thought, knowing what happened when Golds rose... and being one of only two Gold's at Benden with no senior Queen, she'd have probably ended up as Weyrwoman if they'd stayed back home and she'd always thought.. through being raised in a Hold, that they Werywoman and the Weyrleader were Weyrmates, even if a change in Weyrleader happened, the Weyrwoman had to be Weyrmates with her Weyrleader. Since arriving at the weyr she'd had her eyes opened, numerous Green, blue and Brownriders had Weyrmates they bunked with whenever their Dragons rose, regardless of who flew them, they'd have their weyrmate with them, of course there were those that weren't as loyal but still, she'd seen that just because you rode a female dragon, didn't mean you had to be with whoever Flew her.. for good. It was slightly different for Goldriders but she'd work it out.. she was stubborn enough to make it work.

"Exactly Narisa but... if we're out there, who'll be here keeping everyone together" she sighed "When my mother was sick, i had to do her duties of running the Hold and it's surprising how just being here, seemingly doing nothing, can be reassuring to everyone and we'll be busy soon enough" She was glad Narisa felt the same as she did though, it was reassuring to know that it wasn't just HER. "Someday our Weyrs will be overflowing with junior weyrwomen and we'll form Queens wings and get out there, you'll see" she said, still unable to think of Trine being her permanent home. She didn't think they'd ever form them but it was nice... the 'done thing' to reassure your peers in times of crisis, which Threadfall always was.

Suunath sympathised with the Senior Gold, she'd been terribly worried for the relatively short time Hers had been unconscious and she'd been worried, thankfully she'd had others around her to reassure her, luckily Kindra trusted Tyeth's which meant she listened to the man as well as the dragon. She gave a little croon to the other Gold. "Mine says that if we went, the others would be distracted by us and try to protect us instead of looking after themselves and Theirs, but i agree, we could carry more firestone than the weyrlings ever could" she said. "If they keep their eyes open, they will be, only fools would be hurt badly this early on" she said, stretching and sitting a little more proudly, as if SHE wouldn't let Thread touch anyone if she was fighting, "The Crimson is capable, we'll know how the fall is soon enough"
