U'das waited the young greenrider to report in. He had sent a message via Zack and asked her to come.

"You wanted to see me sir?" asked the greenrider, poking her haed around the wingleaders door.

"Yes, Nytha. Please come in and take a seat," U'das answered and smiled. He didn't want to worry her, since there was nothing to worry.

She did as she was asked, sitting on the other side of his desk.

"So, how are you been?"

"Well, thank you sir," she replied. "Might I ask after Zackariath?"

"He's just fine. Happy and healthy. Now, to why I called you here... How do you think about becoming a buddy for a senior weyrling?"

"Me sir?"

"Yes, you. I know you're young, but what I've seen and heard, you are also a sensible, responsible young woman who doesn't hesitate to speak up. J'an has this senior weyrling, a greenrider, who has been....enjoying the weyrlife bit too much. She needs a stedying influence," U'das explained. There were always one or two in each weyrling class. A holdbred boy or girl who enjoyed the liberties of the weyr but forgot that they also had duties and responsibilities.
Most of them learned soon enough but those who didn't...were usually those who didn't survive to the fighting wings.

Nytha nodded, yes she had enjoyed a little flirtation as a weyling, who hadn't in her class. But she had seen what happened to those who allegedly took too much advantage of the way things were here. "Is she old enough to come to a wing?" she asked after a moment.

"She is," U'das replied. "But won't make it if she keeps appearing in hungover to the drills."

"I see. Is there anything in particular you would like be to show her?"

"That being dragonrider is more than just booze and boys. That were actually _here_ for a purpose, a seríous purpose."

"Transport and message duties then," said Nytha with a grin.

"And maybe a visit to the dragoninfirmary. You can ask M'van to give you a tour," U'das suggested with slightly wicked grin.

"Sober her up without the drinking?"

"That's the idea," U'das nodded.

"Is there anything else you needed me for?"

"No, not for now. You can contact J'an as when you start your 'buddying'. Keep up the good work."

"Thank you sir."

"You're welcome, Nytha. And I do mean what I say when I say you do a good work. Pairs like you and Tagrerth form the back bone of any wing."

She rose to leave, a smile on her face.

"Have a good day, we'll see at the next drills."
