{{Takes place post-Touching}}
Yufa sighed, doing what she could to subtly stretch her muscles. She couldn't remember ever being this sore before. The day had been a busy one; there had been an almost none-stop train of Weyrfolk coming in for bumps, bruises and scrapes of all kind. Aside from her regular lessons, she had also pulled a long shift in the infirmary for hands-on training. She hadn't even had a chance to go watch the Touching, something that saddened her more than she thought it would. She supposed it was for the better, with her stuck in the infirmary Braymoth was fast asleep on his ledge, far from the candidates and eggs.
Now though, now it seemed that she would have a brief break from her healer duties. A moment to get off her feet and relax. Cassim chirped quietly in her ear, his form mostly hidden by her auburn hair as he kept his vigil. She knew her little brown Javor was somewhere in the infirmary as well, but he didn't stick to her like Cassim did. The epidote flitter chirped again, this time with the sound the young garnetrider had come to learn meant someone was approaching. Brushing off her simple dress and apron, she turned to the door to see who the next patient was.

Linda was fine, that is what she kept telling everyone who had crowded around her and was concerned after she passed out at the touching... But nope she was forced to go to the Infirmary, even though she herself was a healer... to get checked out. Linda just wanted to forget what had happened, or at least others forget but she remember what she wanted... However with such a closed knit group as the Weyr it was doubtful it would die down at least not for awhile. Slowly she walked in though and noticed that Yufa was there, ugh so someone was here she couldn't sneak off with an excuse someone wasn't there.
"Hello.... was told to come here since I passed out at the touching." Linda's voice was soft, she really really didn't like it but frankly if she got it done and over with maybe people would leave her alone faster. Hopefully there was nothing wrong so it would be a quick visit but as she was also a healer... Maybe it wouldn't be since they might need all the healers they could get?

"Greetings Miss," Yufa gave a quick dip of her head as Linda stepped into the infirmary. She motioned to one of the nearby beds and grabbed up a water skin and a cloth. "You wouldn't be the first. The sands are a lot warmer than many expect." She spoke softly, using her eyes to look over Linda for a quick inspection. She looked fine for the most part. Yufa doubted she would need to do much more than offer water and a cool place to rest.
"Here, drink some water and rest and you should be fine." She held out a skin of water for the girl, wondering if she would be one of the lucky candidates to impress. "Did you feel the eggs?"

Linda moved over to sit in the bed as the healer told her, she just looked down towards her hands even when she held the water skin. A slow and light sip later however she looked back up at the Healer with a little nod. "yes.... though I am.. used to living on hotter sands..." Linda managed to speak up softly, she really did feel like a weakling now. It wasn't really her fault she passed out because of an egg but to have everything think it was the heat of the sands? She couldn't tell if which one was actually worse or not, what if there was something wrong with her?
Wait she was here at the healers, so maybe she could tell her if there was something wrong with her. "Thanks... and touching the eggs is actually why I passed out on the sands. One of the eggs once I touched it brought up all my memories, even the repressed ones. I guess it was too much for me...... Does that mean there is something wrong with me and the dragons hate me?" Her voice was slow and calm as she asked, there was no sense in getting hysterical after all.

Yufa merely smiled at the young woman, understanding the embarrassment and weakness that came along with Touching troubles. That said, Yufa didn’t see anything wrong with passing out or falling ill during the process; Faranth knew some of the eggs at the touchings she had attended had been… rather forceful on the mind. It was easy to be overpowered or caught unaware by the eggs. As Linda began explaining the entire problem, Yufa gave a wamr smile and sat down next to her, placing a hand gently on the other woman’s shoulder.
“Do not worry too much Miss. The dams both have strong personalities, it only stands to reason their eggs would too. I’m sure your dragon is out there waiting for you.” The eggs did have a tendency to surprise the candidates after all; Yufa never would have guessed the most vicious of the clutch would impress to her, and yet Braymoth had picked her out of everyone. “Besides, it’s hard to know exactly what the eggs are feeling.”

Linda kind of flinched and tensed up at another person's touch, but relaxed as she realized that Yufa was just trying to give comfort. It was much easier to talk to another healer she realized, especially one she kind of worked with? Well they didn't really know each other but they had the same craft which did help. And she seemed to be understanding.... did she go through a similar thing? Probably a rider actually, though she couldn't really recall at the time... Wait no she was a garnet rider, she had seem them around when she was.... Well with what she knew of garnets they seemed to be very volatile themselves.. oh yeah she would definitely know what it was like.
Linda gave a nod though as she listened, yeah the parents did have very... strong personalities... Guess it only stood to reason, so wait if the parents were the same next time... Linda actually hoped she would impress by then or no longer be a candidate slightly at that time... Or at least not be poked and prodded by such strong and.... mischievous eggs like earlier. "Yeah though now.. if the same couplings happen again I am worried about future touchings as well. And yeah if I am fated to have a dragon, it will show up eventually... if not no biggie.... and Yeah hard to know babies thoughts too, eggs are like babies right?"

Yufa herself tensed slightly in response to Linda’s flinch. She herself wasn’t one for physical contact, but part of her healing training was getting used to touching others when offering comfort. It was strange, perhaps, but Yufa was learning. Besides, deep down she hoped that by being friendly, it would help others to forget she rode a garnet. Well, the knots she wore outside of the infirmary destroyed her hopes of that though.
“It is hard to say,” Yufa nodded slightly. She could certainly understand the girl’s fear. “If there is a dragon out there for you, and I am sure there must be, it will find you, and it will be perfect for you. It may not seem it sometimes, but the dragons know best.” She paused in thought. “It may be that the eggs saw something in you that you should think about?” She worried that she might be pushing too far into the problem, but perhaps talking would help.

Linda gave a little smile, she actually did feel reassured by the other healer and started to relax. Suddenly though the air was burst into colors and loud noises as her entire fair of fire lizards and even Huntyres flew into the room and started to fly around worried about her. Linda just laughed a bit and waggled her fingers at them. "Guys I am fine, now no being noisy or a nuisance here alright. Out with you, go back to my room I'll come there soon. Hana and Rorce though you can stay, and Hana keep contact with them to let them know I am indeed okay?"
The gold chittered and then started to scold the others as she began to heard them out. Rorce, the garnet however, just flew over and landed on Linda's shoulder with a bit of a scowl and a humph. "Oh come on Rorce be nice, don't make me tickle you. I am fine alright? See no harm done, no new scars." But then she realized there was another girl there and gave a little sheepish look over at Yufa. "Sorry about that.... They couldn't go with me and been trying to keep them calm and away as long as I could. The gold is Hana, Rorce here is my Garnet though, don't worry they are all well behaved and well trained but they were just worried...."
