early evening, after dinner
Tera smiled to herself. Today was a special day, no matter what the others said. Being the youngest of the Weyrlings who had recently Graduated, she was happy. She was only the age of some of the youngest Candidates now, but she'd know more about dragons than they would at her age. She and another Weyrling, Kokoro, decided to celebrate their Turndays together, due to the recent Wood Flight. There were bound to be eggs on the Sands, and in all that, who would remember the Turnday of a single girl? Kokoro insisted that wasn't a problem, but Tera knew that she wouldn't want her Turnday to be ignored, not when it was her fifteenth Turnday.
She saw the brightly colored flit before she saw the girl, but she followed the RR Flame flit that was certainly Kokoro's. They'd come in a candlemark after dinner, to make sure everyone was done eating before they started decorating. So what if decorating for your own party was a bad idea? Tera had always done that back at Cliffside. It was something you only got to do for a few Turns, after all. No one had parties once they were an adult. Kokoro was so easygoing that she didn't really care much. She didn't care what others thought.
They'd made sure invitations had gotten around the Weyr, to their Weyrling classes and then some. They'd started a few sevendays ago, so they could have their flits deliver the invitations for the girls. Uninvited people would be allowed as well, as the invitations were really just a way to start getting word around the Weyr.
"Kokoro, it's almost time!" Tera told her. Kokoro laughed, stepping down from a stool. She had been hanging decorations.
"I know!" Kokoro said excitedly. "I guess I'm still a kid at heart if this kind of thing makes me excited, huh?"
"You're never too old for a Turnday party!" Tera insisted again, as she'd done so many times that evening. "It's always fun! Just like a Gathering!" She laughed and spun, her new skirt from her aunt billowing out around her knees. "My aunt gave me this earlier today. Said it would be perfect for the party."
"It looks good on you," Kokoro said with a smile. "Your aunt is a very talented weaver."
"Oh! I think someone's here!" Tera said, looking toward the door.
