Kwiksol had been a bit delinquent since arriving at the Weyr. He'd been using his study time to explore. A very tempting activity in the tropical environment, but today, he was off to check out the other hall. "Harpers have to be well rounded" he said quietly to himself as his walk ended, approaching the location of the dolphin hall. If nothing else, he could hop in for a swim.

"Can I help you?" Trellyn asked as she shifted the weight of her pack on her back, "You look kind of lost."

"Not really, or maybe," Kwiksol said on second thought. "I'm just trying to get to know this place better, I'm from the Harper hall." He said as he rushed over to Trellyn and the pack. "You need a hand there...?" he said dragging out the there, indicating he wanted her name.

"Trellyn." she replied. "And no, I'm fine." She indicated the small gold firelizard perched on her shoulder before adding, "Carry here will _only_ sit on my left shoulder, so I always have to lug everything on my right."

"I see Trellyn. Carry," he said nodding to both the women and the firelizard. "If I'm not interrupting, I was hopping I could learn a bit more about the hall?"

"Well I was actually going down to do some salvage training with the dolphins. If you've got time, you could help me out and then I could show you around." She had to admit she was a little curious about the 'Harper Hall Horde' that had recently invaded Dolphin Cove, and this was as good a time as any to learn about them herself.

"An excellent idea, I accept. Now what is it you would like me to do Trellyn?"

She gave him a smile and said simply, "Follow me."

Trellyn walked him down to the end of the long dock where the two dolphins were already waiting for her. At random places on the dock she had stopped to throw items from her bag out into the water, "So they can find them." she had explained.

"Good morning friends!" she greeted as she bent down to the dolphins and gave them both scratches. "I've brought a friend for today, his name is Kwiksol, and he's a harper."

"He-Hello," Kwiksol said, not sure how to address dolphins. He bent down beside Trellyn. "Is there something I should do?"

"Just be yourself." Trellyn assured him with a smile, "They like to be scratched."

"Harper? Harper sing songs?" the larger of the dolphins asked butting the other out of the way to get a better look at the new human.

Kwiksol gave the bolder one a brief scratch, his eyes widening in wonder. "Yes Harper's sing songs, but I don't so much." He said, making motions with his hands, "I craft, supporting voices."

"No songs?" the dolphin asked disappointed.

"We don't have time now for songs now anyway, silly!" Trellyn said as she playfully splashed some water towards the dolphin to regain his attention. "Now I threw some man things out, so go look around and report back."

"Maybe song after," Kwiksol responded with a laugh.

"Maybe." Trellyn echoed with a laugh of her own.
