Arrived at Mavros Weyr.
First impressions: veers young. Particularly concerning given most of the golds are barely out of their shells. Historith assures me that Zalmaranth is a fine gold with a strong sense of command. I believe the Weyrwoman to have a good head on her shoulders. But the lack of experience troubles me. And I do not believe she has the support around her to properly take care of a weyr. The number of experienced higher ranking riders is low, and that cuts into a Weyrwoman's responsiblities almost as deeply as it does the Weyrleader's.
Speaking of such, I spoke with the current Weyrleader, A'zael. My, he is young! Only twenty-two turns and leading an entire weyr into active threadfall. I cannot imagine the stress he is under, but that is, in part, as to why I transfered.
The wings need shaping up. Our numbers are low, our responsibilities high. It presents some trouble if we are not able to fill out our ranks soon. Four golds is a promising future, but clearly Mavros cannot rely only on candidates and weyrlings alone. We need to campaign to bring in more transfers, which is something I might have the connections to help with.
It is nice to be needed again. I cannot feel glad of any trouble this weyr is facing, of course, but I am secretly happy to have my mind focused on something besides my past.
