She had to say, for a woman she could hold her alcohol very well.
Karolinna sat at a table in the Dining Cavern, forking down her second plate of food. On The Bronzer, one of the necessary skills she was taught was drinking something really fast. She did well at that task, and it also trained her to hold more and more ale as time went on. Her father never liked her when she was drunk, mostly because she absolutely refused to do any work and would sit like a pitifully overfed wherry. She actually quite resembled the Weyrleader's bronze when she was off her rocker, according to a few boys she'd met the first day at the Weyrhold. Well, they'd told her about this dumb bronze who likely should've hatched a green instead, they never actually saw her drunk. She just connected those dots herself. Beside her was a cup of klah, which she spiked with some wine. Wine seemed to be far easier to find than ale, since it was considered the 'proper man's drink'. The flavor was absolutely horrendous, but Karolinna needed her alcohol and she'd probably get the boot if she was found directly drinking. Nobody wanted to see a drunk Candidate, though that's where she wanted to be right now.
In her pocket was an envelope. Taking it out again, she rubbed her thumb against the spot where the name Karolinna had been written. She could recognize the handwriting from several dragonlengths away; it was unmistakably Kalahan's scrabble. Why did her father send her a letter, especially after sailing away without making any effort to get her back? Was he just glad to get rid of her? Was this his final words to her, was he officially disowning her? The thought send pain riveting through Karolinna's body. He'd never cared about her, he was sure. Kalzen was his pride and joy, she was just an addon. So why was she getting a letter now?
(ooc: Feel free to just send anybody at her, as she angsts over the envelope ^.^)
