She didn't want to make Seph feel bad so she merrily, as usual, said,"Big families are overrated...you have to wear hand me down clothes, no one ever has tiem for you and you get stuck doing lotsa chores, whhich your siblings will beat you up for if you don't do them."Her family was a bit odd like herself though. she supposed not all big families were like hers. "They farm crops and raise herbeasts. We own a runner or two, they generally help pull the cart to the Weyrhold, where we sell our crops ." Amneris thought about how far it was from the Harper workshop to the Weyr. "Well its more like one and a half. Its not too far, thats if I remember correctly. I still would recommend riding a runne r there. The terrain can be a bit, extreme, in places."

Seph nodded as Amneris talked. "Well..I mean I know that families aren't all perfect. Thats impossible I guess but I always dreamed of having siblings. But I guess I get what you mean. I would though have liked ot be the oldest. I can work and all, but I see what you mean about chores. It's sorta like around here with the bullies."
She nodded and finding her legs starting to hurt though of sitting down. Seph brushed off a slump of dirt on the rock with her hand, and sat down. Sighing as the strain was taken off her legs. "So." She said with a smile turning back to Amneris. "What made you want to leave your family so young? How did you get to a Harper either. Or did your family know him..or her?" Seph just chattered out all those questions, in a good mood once more.

"the thing is I became a good singer as I started getting a little older, my parents knew I had talent. They bartered to get me an audition in a way. They were goign to accept me if I had talent enough, without too much more from my parents end. I sang for them and they immediately took me in. My mother walked me to the Harper workshop a few days later, on the way we found Tipp. I guess its odd, but I have never been alone. Harpers are nice people, generally in a good mood. Ther is always entertainment and the histories are very interesting reads, I like to tunr them into mini stories." Amneris smiled. Thinking back at the Harper Workshop merrily. "I do miss both home adn the Harper Workshop. I never actually said I wanted to leave home, but I never in a million turns would have declined going to the Harpers."

" That's neat....so will you go back to the Haprer's if you dont want to saty here, at Sodalis, after a while? Or will you go home?" Seph watched Amneris, she bet that Amneris would probably go back to the Harper. And Seph had nop doubt that Amneris would a great Harper, though it would depend if the Haprer's would allow her to be one.
"I guess I haven't really thought of the future that much. But I'm still young...right? I mean I work hard..but does that mean i'm grown up? I don't think it does...I don't feel like an adult. I'm stil ordered to work and I have to I ca't not do it or i'll get in trouble. I guess once I turn 18 then I'll be old enough." Seph wasn't just throwong her thoughts out to the wind. She closed her eyes soaking up the sun. "What a nice day...though if it stays this humid I bet we'll have a thunderstorm....." Seph eyed the sky, it was a humid pale blue.

"Probably back to the harpers if they will have me back, if not I might go home."She wondered if Seph wasreally concerned for her own future. It made Amneris feel bad for bringing it up that she had been planning hers for a long time.
"Of course there is plenty of time. I wouldn't worry about it too much..."Amneris said lightly, "Besides if you ever need a pace to stay your more than welcome to crash with me." Then she caught Sephs talk of a thunderstorm and shuddered. "Thunder and lightnening are awesome but at the same time frightening in their apparent use of power."

"Thanks...we'll see how ours futures turn out. I bet we will both be fine." Seph began eyeing the vegetaion around the rock. Seeing the plentiful...yet small greens she lazily began picking them. It would'nt do for Fera to miss a good meal of greens....Seph wouldn't let that happen.
'I love Thunderstorms! Its always so hot and humid around here. And the smell...the smell after a thunderstorm...or just a rain-shower. Its wonderful! It makes me feel more alive...I hear its hotter at Lateo...and more humid. I wonder if they ever have thunderstorms...but they must. Its not like we're the only place that has them. Right? Seph paused. She turned around gazing at Amneris. Her picking of the greens stopped for the time being. "I wonder what types of weather they have at Lateo Weyr....do you know?"Seph waited patienly for Amneris's reply.

She shivered a moment thining about the storms they weren't so bad most of the time but sometimes they sent a creepy crawly shivering feeling up her spine. "I've never been near Lateo... I'm sure the weather is similair... its the Northern Continent I wonder about. What kind of weather do you suppose they get? I hear it is colder there." Amneris added a moment. That would be something for a record keeper to look up but Amneris, well why waste teh time? Tipp and Note were likely to agree with her. Then again why worry about something that other people are trained to worry over? Amneris never understood the whole concept of worry, in fact she could sit and meditate on it but then she would feel rude for ignoring Seph and her being Amneris's only true friend at the Weyr...well that would be bad. "Seph, do you think we will ever get the chance to go there? I would love to see the Harper Hall."

" Well I hear it snows as far down as Fort Hold! It must be freezing in High Reaches. I wonder how any human could survive up there. I persoanlly profer the warmth. Why be cold when you can be mostly hot all turn? Go to the Northern Continent! Well I don't know. I don't think anyone is allowed up there. I mean...I don't think so. Who knows? We live a ways from the ocean, than we'de have to find a boat to take us up there. I don't think the Dragonriders would be willing to transport some people. Who knows?"
Those two words, 'who knows' seemed to be becoming a favorite of Seph's lately. She tended to keep saying them because she was really lost on the subject, no one that she knew ever really talks about the Northern Continent. The Dragonriders had broken away from it years ago, evertything else was or is history, in Seph's mind. "Well I suppose the Haprer Hall would be intersting to see. I would like to see the old Weyrs, maybe even Fort Weyr. Thats the oldest one you know. I bet it has a whole bunch of old interesting records just waiting to be read!" Seph beamed her eyed fixed on a point far away. What wonders could the old Weyrs hold for her. She wished to find out.

Snow? Hmmm... sh ehad never seen snow or really heard anything about what it was really like, she knew it was cold and wet from some harper ballads but that was a bout it. She had a sneaking feeling that snow was a special thing. Amneris looked down for a moment. She would really like to goto the North and see the Harper hall someday. WHo knows maybe she would?
"I bet they are a complete mess from disuse adn most of the interesting things have been taken by people wanting to make a few marks. Honestly there are enough people up there that would be like that. I'm glad we don't have money down here. It is a thing that can cause so much problems. " She knew she was going to go on a tangent if she didn't stop soon so she held her tongue. She hated the mark system and wouldn't let herself be led to believe differently about it.
