Weyr Life Drabbles - Prompt word #86: "Choices"
N'ton shook his head firmly. "Send the lad home. Now."
Margatta rolled her eyes at the back of the departing Searchrider. "I can't believe one of our own riders could be so stupid! A blind lad as a candidate? Has between addled his mind?"
"Something has," N'ton said, grimacing. "Thank Faranth we won't need him Searching again soon. Bad enough grounding blinded riders, but to let the lad stand? With Griventh picking him out, I don't doubt he'd Impress either."
"The dragons always choose..."
"Sometimes, they choose badly. That lad... it's our job to protect them from choices like that."
