"Miss! Hold on, you dropped this!" Belamick called after the girl. He'd seen the little bow fall out of her short blond hair as she bounded down the stairs in front of him. "What? Oh, yeah." She saw the little pink bow in his fingers. Honalyse back tracked and smiled as she took it from his hand. "Sorry about that, I forgot it was even there. Some of the girls and I were fooling around before bedtime last night. I guess I missed one. Thanks for picking it up though." She shoved it carelessly into her pocket.

Belamick just nodded, unable to form a coherent thought after she had turned and flashed that beautiful smile at him. Was she a candidate? That's where they were headed, but he'd been in the barracks for days... how had he _not_ seen her before! "No problem." he said finally finding his voice again. "Are you a candidate?" "Oh yes. I've been here a while now. I take it this is your first time?" she asked, turning to go and expecting him to fall into step with her since they were both apparently heading in the same direction.

He quickly caught up with her, eager to continue the interchange. "Yes, I got here about a few days ago. I got Searched from the Healer Hall."
**Her eyes are so blue** he marveled. He had a brief flash of Ioporol and his similar features of blue eyes and short blond hair, and figured if his friend had a sister she'd look like this beauty. "Oh really?" she asked, suddenly interested. "I have a friend who was Searched from the Healer Hall!"

Great! Common ground, anything to keep her talking. "What's her name?
Maybe I knew her." He tried to think if any of the kitchen girls or Healer's daughters had been searched with Ioporol last turn, but he couldn't think of any. Her face brightened. "Yes, maybe you do. But its not a her. It's a him. His name is Ioporol. He was an apprentice there. Were you an apprentice too?" That lucky scoundrel got to her first! He should have known Ioporol would have cozied up to the most beautiful girl in the Weyr. It hurt... but only a little, she did say he was her _friend_. "Why yes I am and yes I do, that man just happens to be my very best friend! I taught him everything he ever learned and don't let him tell you any different." he said with a tease. For some reason, knowing she probably wasn't available made him more relaxed.

"Did you now?" Honalyse asked, eying him suspiciously. "I don't know, he seems to do pretty well for himself on his own. Are you _sure_ you taught him everything he knows?"

"Absolutely! That pretty boy may have the looks but I've got the brains." He tapped his head and then gave her a wink to know he was teasing. "Oh, I see," she said with an understanding nod. **Boys...** "So just how did you teach him to be so charming and sweet, hmmm?"

**Sweet and charming?** He was going to get that rascal! How could he keep a sweet honey a secret from his best friend! "Oh shards! I just realized I don't even know your name!" he exclaimed, slapping his forehead, "I'm Belamick." he added, and held out his hand. "Honalyse," she said taking his hand. "I came here at the same time your 'protege' was Searched."

Her hand was soft, and up close he could smell a flowery fragrance that just seemed to _fit_ her. He was _definitely_ going to be giving Ioporol a hard time over her! "Well good, since you've been here _way_
longer than I have, maybe you can help me out? I was running back to the barracks to pick up a shirt that got torn. It's a rather nice one, so perhaps you can escort me to a competent tailor? If you have time that is." "Not _now_, candidate," she said with a slight teasing chide to her voice. "We are going to be just on time for class as it is."

She was right, now that he thought about it, he'd lost track of time. "After class?" he'd just grab it now and go afterwards. "Yeah, sure. Why not," she laughed. "I can show you to a tailors. But how did your shirt got torn so quickly, that's what I'm wondering."

Belamick just shook his head and laughed, "You'll have to ask my "protege" about that one!"

"Really?" she drawled. So Ioporol _did_ have a bit of a wild side to him... "What else can you tell me about him?"

He have her a wicked grin, "_Everything_, fair Honalyse, _Everything_!"
