F’hursna sat in the dinner hall it was early, very early he heard the noise in the kitchen cavern as the Drudge’s and kitchen workers set to work getting the breakfast ready for the rest of the weyr.
Though F’hursna had learnt long ago how to make his own Klah and stuff and not have to wait on the weyr kitchen workers, he sat drinking the last of the flask he had made for himself.
He was tired, tired of everything and his hart pained for Palin, her death had been less than 10 days ago, but he still felt the pain like it had happened moments ago.
He had had knife wounds and thread scores but none of them hurt like this did. He took another sip of his Klah dreading the day a head. Knowing his son and grandson would be coming to check on him, he just wanted a the new queens hear and a new weyrleader in place so he could just be left alone to be forgotten about.
<<I will not forget you>> came Yadraths voice in F’hursna’s head
“I know you wont my friend” F’hursna muttered
<<I miss them to>> F’hursna could hear the pain in his dragons tone to

R’reek entered the diner hall rubbing his eyes, he had though it was later than it was, but from the smells just starting to come from the kitchen.
He was going to have to get a sleeping draft from the healer, he couldn’t keep going on like this he would drive himself to madness.
He looked round seeing F’hursna he stopped not knowing if he should stay or go and leave the weyrleader to his thoughts.

F’hursna turned hearing foot boot footsteps on the stone floor, he wondered who else was up at this time, he looked to see R’reek looking like he didn’t know if he was going to stay or go.
F’hursna gave a weary smile the lad had come a long way after several hard set back.
“Come join me lad the kitchen is not fully up and running yet but the Klah is hot at least and some old bread off yesterday” he said. he could do with the company to pull his mind out of his thoughts.

R’reek stood momentarily frozen to the spot; you didn’t refuse to join a Weyrleader when he asked you to join him.
R’reek shook off this feeling and walked slowly over he had never been know for he lack of confidence, but seeing the weyrleader had knocked a good bit of wind out of his sail.
“Thank you, if I’m not disturbing you that is?” He said thinking the Weyrleader looked tired.

“No Lad your not disturbing me” F'hursna said this everyone tip toeing round him was starting to wear his hide a little thin. He got up and collecting another cup for R’reek, he looked like he could use something to wake him up.

R’reek made his way over joining F'hursna.
He sat down but he didn’t know what he was going to say to the Weyrleader asking how he was seamed insensitive.
The man had lost his Weyrwomen so of course he was not fine even if he said he was and he didn’t think it was a good idea to ask when the two new queens came and who they where.

F'hursna could see the young man looked unsure what to say.
Most where these last few days, not sure to talk to him in case he broke down.
Then again his eldest son had done nothing but talk to him telling him he know what he was going through the loss of his grandchild. That had not helped he.
“Bet you are wondering when the two Gold riders from East Cliff are coming?” He said to R’reek getting sick of the silence that was only broken by the head women shouting at someone for something.

R’reek’s head had turned hearing the Head women shouting at her worker also.
“Em…I’m not sure… well i think…em” R’reek could not believe he was getting so tongue, he never had a problem speaking that was his biggest problem talking with out thinking. Now he could not but more than a few words together.
R’reek took a deep drink of his Klah before he spoke again.
“I think that is what everyone is wondering and…” R’reek didn’t want to say that everyone was worried about it also as it would also mean a new Weyrleader and then what would happen to F'hursna would he stay in the weyr.

''And…?'' F'hursna asked looking at R'reek as the young man tailed off. F'hursna know the young man had more he wanted to say but he was worried about what he was wanting to say incase he thought he would react badly to the question.

“And…well…um… i think some of them are also a bit worried, these new queens mean big changes through out the weyr” R’reek said looking at the weyrleader’s face to see what his reaction would be.

“Ah…right” So that was the bone of the matter was it. Everyone was worried things would change in the weyr F’hursna thought it was silly and very hide bound. Did they think things would fall apart because.
If they though that then they where all doomed as not eve two young queens could change all of that.
“And what do you think?” He asked R’reek looking the young man in the eye’s

R’reek didn’t know what to say “I don’t know, i know we need a queen more than any of the other weyr, but…You and Lady Palin know what you where doing when you both volunteered to start this weyr, you know it was cold and not the most best place to live.
These two are being sent to here not by chose, only out of necessity, how are they going to handle things here?” R’reek said knowing he had to tell someone all of this before it drove him between with madness.

“Ah i see” F’hursna said if this was how many of the other riders felt then the weyr was going to indeed have a problem on its hands. As they would not trust the two new Gold Riders to be able to handle the running of Top Point.
“How many people do you think feel like this?” F’hursna asked wanting to know what was going on and how his riders felt.

R’reek did not know what to say there was a few he had heard talking about it but there was not an exact number.
“I’m not sure on how many but i know there are a good few who feel the same way” R’reek said thinking F’hursna had the right to know all of what his riders thought.

F’hursna nodded his head as R’reek spoke, how much of this worrie was down to his son and grandson’s constent visits to the weyr.
Did the whole Weyr think he was that far gone that he could not keep control of the weyr with out a queen.
But in his heart F’hursna know that he was nothing with out Palin at his side, he was just going through the motions of the day not really living.
When the new queens came Palin an he would be forgotten, just a memory in the record pages. Just another two riders who had started a weyr, but this place was not a weyr it was a prison and a punishment on all who were sent or came here.
No he and Palin would not be remembered they would be lost and forgotten in the pages of time.

R’reek listed as a long deep silence was drawn out. He did not know what else to saw, how did you go on and talk after you had told a man that people thought they could not handle things.
The silence was broken by a loud crash and a few shouts one the head women and the next who ever was on the receiving end of her hand and voice.
R’reek wondered how this was effecting the head women she had been with Palin through her last days, the women had thrown her self into her work and ordered a full clean out of the weyr and store room’s

F'hursna let the silence go on as his mind worked over everything in his head, the noise did not break his train of thought.
The head women cam out with a try of bread and some cheese and butter.
“There you go” she looked are R’reek
“I hope your not making trouble young man?” She asked she had good ears and over the noise had heard the two talk.
