Haldon sauntered into the room, saddle bags over one shoulder, whip and rope coiled around the other. This was a fine bunk room, cleaner then the one back at the Hold, that was for sure. He didn't smell Runner at all, the floor was clean swept stone and there was no laundry to be seen. Was this really the Boys side? A quick look behind him reassured him somewhat. The curtain was Green not Gold.
The latrine was at the far end, that meant he did NOT want a bunk down there. No matter how unnaturally clean these Weyr boys were, some things did make a stink. At least there were plenty to choose from, he soon found a comfortable upper bunk with no one in the bunk beneath. He made the bed from the bedding rolled up on the end of the bunk, stashed his gear and then left to go find the headwoman. well, the bathing area first, and then the headwoman might be a better idea. He sure smelt like Runner and sweat and dust.
Haldon,
Candidate

Orfinion looked up as the new boy entered. He had been drumming quietly, just tapping really. Most of his barrakmates preffered not to have him drumming loudly. He had a bunk in the very corner of the room. On the opposite side of the latrine. He had been in the barracks for a while, and had wuite few personal items scatered around. He had both the top and bottom levels too himself. His stuff went on the bottom and he slept on the top. That would change when Savath's clutch was lade and more candidates were brought in. But for now hje was quite comftorable.
He grinned as the latest candidate arrived; he would be the first of many. Orfinion raised his volume and rapped out a welcome sequence, adding an extra few bars as a flourish at the end. He hopped up smoothly, he normaly kept to himself, but was welcoming enough. "I'm Orfinion. Welcome to Lateo." He gave his shy, laughing smile; the one Verity liked so much.

Haldon felt himself jump in surprise. How had he not noticed anyone else in here? Was there dirt inside his ears too?
"Hey. I'm Haldon, got searched yesterday as we were bringing in a herd of bovines to the Weyr." He looked over Orfinions two bunks, happy to see he wasn't the spotless sort.
"Anything I should know quickly? and are they serious about bathing everyday? Back home that'd mean all I did was carry buckets of water!" He fanned himself with his hat at the thought, then blinked down at it as some dust was sent off of it into his face. "Have to admit, I am dirty now" he said with a grin. There was something about being inside that made those things noticeable...

Orfinion gave the newcomer a smile. He remembered first becoming a candidate. He had been a little lost too. "A herder are you? Well welcome Haldon. It looks like you've settled youself already."
He made a big show of thinking carefully about Haldon's question, "Well...you certainly don't want to get caught breaking the rules but i doubt that if you skipped one day you'd get into so much tourble. Most of us go swimming pretty regularily as well which helps." He was a fairly hygenic guy and noticed the rather rugged look the newcomer was sporting. "However...perhasps it would be a good idea to freshen up before going out into the main Weyr," He said with a good natured smile.

"Yeah, I helped bring in a herd, and since I'm one of the youngest, I get to be in the back eating dust a lot. This big Blue Dragon found me before I had time to clean up, his Rider said I'd be better off bathing here - so here I am, several 7days of trail dust and all."
He shrugged, it wasn't like it was even possible to stay clean while keeping track of more then a thousand beasts. You just got used to it or ignored it.
Haldon,
dust monster

Orfinion let out a luagh...he had never done a seven day teck...or even a day treck for that matter. However, he wasn't going to grudge someone for it. "Well it sounds like you had a bit of an adventure. Are you liking the Weyr so far as a candidate?"
