Chink! Chink! Chink! Chink!
V'rael continued to clean out the seams with a reefing iron. He couldn't help but notice that a few boats where in disrepair. Upon first searching for tools he was greatly dismayed to find many had been unused. This discovery had set him on a mission to check all the boats.
Fortunately many where is good or decent shape. There where a few boats though that showed signs of collision damage and water rot. Those boats he promptly took ashore and allowed to dry so he could work on them.
The repetitive and familiar motions of swapping the old planks for new was comforting to him. He enjoyed the familiar, if sweaty, work and had no qualms doing it for the Weyr. These small boats where much easier to repair than a large shipping vessel.
In the back of his mind he could sense Taith's presence. He had quickly learned that the dragonet was a constant mischief maker. Raising him was like being on suicide watch. Already he had pulled the curious creature out of a few binds. He felt very fond of Taith and attributed to his bond and Taith's boundless love. The little guy had quickly rubbed off on him. He still found the dragonet hard to handle and far more energetic and cheerful than anything he'd want in his head....but the little guy was quite hard to resist.
