A scream echoed through the Lower Caverns, causing Laera to drop a tray of plates she had been carrying to the kitchens for washing. The tray didn't break, but the plates that were stacked on top of each other shattered, but Laera didn't pay any attention to that. "Dusty! Milli! Go! Show me where that scream came from!!" the Headwoman cried out, the worse thing imaginable popped in her mind and she saw broken bones or a young Candidate lost or . . . By the First Shell!!! There was no telling what was wrong.
As they were called, two flits popped in from between. Her loyal brown and red flits chittered at each other before twisting around themselves and fluttering back toward the Dining Hall. Seriously? She had just left there! Not even a few moments ago! Whatever had happened, whoever it happened to, would have just been entering the Hall as she was leaving it!!
Picking up the front edge of her skirts, Laera quickly followed along behind her flits, though she only really saw Milli which meant Dusty had gone ahead to make sure no one was truly hurt. Seeing as he hadn't sent her a mental image right away could only mean that there was no human hurt at the moment. Rounding the corner of the hallway and entering the Dining Hall, Laera was greeted with the sight of many wherries fluttering around the Hall. She gasped, more out of the fact that the wherries were crawling and flapping over everything, messing up her pretty Hall. "NO!!!" she cried out as one wherry knocked over chair after chair. "Dusty, go find Weyrleader K'lian! Milli, go find Weyrwoman Zira!! GO!!!" she shouted, untying her apron and waving it at the group of wherries. She didn't notice the unlatched cage on the floor as she tried to corner the wherries until someone could come help her catch them.
