Around her, half the beds were empty in the Candidate barracks. apparently, they'd just been cleared out from a hatching where many had impressed. Her bed was made with simple sheets and blankets, and the walls were plain. May sniffed. There wasn't hardly a scent of animals around. After have spent a lot of her remembered childhood around them, and the past four turns she missed their scent like a cook would miss their spice rack. 'No matter, maybe I can get chores in the animal stables or pens. It can't be all that bad.' She leaned back on the wall near her bed. The small packets of food had been eaten already by her and a couple had been 'given away'. 'Yeah, more like you stole them from me twits.' she thought, had she of spoken it would have been a growl. On her second day here a pair of boys had broken into her trunk at the foot of her bed and swiped the food. She knew she didn't like Weyr-folk very much now. Who knows what they were actaully looking for?
So she waited to see if anyone would come. If no one did, perhaps she'd go look for the animals herself. Write a letter back to her old home, and find out if her cat was doing alright without the constant company.
