G'len, Laccolith, and Twinkletoes

You walk into this small but messy weyr. There's junk all over the place. A young man is sitting on a chair in the middle of the room. He's probably at most 15. He has short light brown hair with a little curl in the front and dark eyes. "Hey,I'm G'len,rider of brown Laccolith," he says.He has a cloth wrapped around his left wrist and when he walks over to greet you,you notice that he has a rather pronounced limp."Didya know,my Laccolith has a twin named Chanth,isn't that cool?He's from Jerdan Weyr.But anyway,I'm from Minardi Hold,but I was fostered to this weyr soon after my birth,"he says."It's really warm here,great for swimming,and I met a beautiful girl here when I was 10,but she was Searched and Impressed recently.Which actually wouldn't have been a problem except..."G'len breaks off."Except what?"you ask."Well,she Impressed a brown,like me.Her name's Sassaby.She just recently Impressed her brown,Pyroth.I was there and it was a total shock to all of us.Well,not a total shock,after Katrina Impressed Ayth.I was a bit upset,especially after being around Sassaby so long and getting to like her.I was searched soon after she was and she just recently Impressed.But soon,I was distracted by a new girl at the weyr.She had just moved here with her brother T'lekin,now a bronzerider.She's just Impressed from Jerdan,too,"G'len tells you,stars in his eyes."And what's her name?"you ask,getting a bit impatient with this boy."T'kayzi,but we all call her Kayzi.Her green's name is Sesith,I think,"he tells you."What happened to your wrist and ankle?"you ask.G'len grins sheepishly."Well,uh,I was helping Kayzi carry her stuff to her weyr and I tripped and fell,landing on my wrist and spraining it.Oh,and about a sevenday,I wasn't watching where I was going and I kinda fell off the stairs and managed to hurt my ankle,"he tells you."My parents usually forget about me.They're Masterweaver Garintial and journeyman winecrafter Lentia,"he says."I thought Lentia and Garintial only had one child,a daughter,"you say,a little confused."That's my sister,Lengaea.She's 18,been a candidate since she was 12,hasn't Impressed yet,but she's got a little green flit.She sends me wine when our parents send some to her.In fact,we're about due for a shipment anytime now,"he says.As if on cue,a little green flit pops in with a piece of hide tied to its foot."Oh,shards,this is great!Old Windstone wine,the absolute best!" G'len exclaims, reading it. "Better go get it before someone else tries to take it," he mutters to himself, adding to you, "I'll be right back!" He dashes off down the hall and you chuckle to yourself. He arrives soon. "Oh,right,visitor,want some wine?"he says,pouring you a glass of the deep burgundy wine.You taste it,a sweet,fruity taste.A warm furry body winds around your ankles,mewing and staring at your wineglass."No,TT,you can't have any wine.You know it's bad for you,"G'len says,grinning.The bright gold feline leaps onto the table,almost knocking over the other glasses."This is Twinkletoes,TT for short,from Glass Island Weyr.Isn't she adorable?She's usually a sweetheart around visitors,but when that visitor has wine...watch out.Sorry I didn't warn you about her attitude.Come to think of it,Laccolith likes wine too,"he says. "Well,I'd better go,"you tell him,walking out of the weyr to check the others."Bye!"he calls.
