Notes: Mentioned: Milga

F'dal sat his back leaning against Velaith. He was writing a letter.

"Dear cousin-Milga. How are you? As busy being apprentice as I'm being a weyrling?" That's how far he got before first interruption.

}: What are you doing? :{ Velaith's muzzle hoovered over the hide.

**I'm writing a letter to my cousin Milga,** F'dal replied.

}: Who's that? :{

**You've met her, on the day you Hatched.**

}: I don't remember. What's cousin? .{

Dragons and their short memories, F'dal huffed mentally before answering. **It's a relative, like clutch-mate except her sire and my dam are clutch mates instead me and her,** he tried to explain it to his dragon. ** All the other dragons from Vilarth's previous Clutches are like cousins to you.**

}: Vilarth has previous Clutches? :{ That seemed to amaze the young bronze.

** Yes, many. **

While Velaith pondered that, F'dal was able to continue writing his letter: "Velaith and I flew together for the first time two days ago! It was amazing! Of course, we have been practicing flying a lot since that. We'll soon have weyr of our own."

"Hey, he can write!" a passing fellow weyrling remarked with mocking tone.

F'dal replied with a rude hand gesture. He was going to be so glad to get out of weyrling barracks.

Velaith growled warningly at the other boy and F'dal gave him a nudge. ** I don't need your protection from idiots.** He might be small sized and odd looking with his birthmark but he could take care of himself.

"And happy birthday, Milga, I think you have birthday tomorrow, although when you receive this letter, it will be past. When Velaith and I learn to go /between/, we will come to visit." Realizing he had spelled visit wrong, he tried to correct it and ended up smearing it. He tried to dap the ink smear away and just spread it larger.

}: I'm hungry, :{ Velaith said and got up. It upset F'dal's balance and more ink landed on the letter.

"Shards, shells and trundlebugs!" the letter was ruined. "I need to get a new hide…"

** You can't be hungry again! You're supposed to eat only once in a day by now!** F'dal protested. "And you ate this morning," he slipped to say it out loud.

}: But I am hungry. I'm growing fast. :{

**The others are growing quite fine with just one meal per day,** F'dal complained.

}: I'm growing faster than them, :{ Velaith sounded smug.

"Yeah, sideways," F'dal grunted.
