|Eastern Weyr: Kitchen and Weyrling Barracks
|Time has gone by and Relly is six months pregnant. Ahnika finds her craving sweets in the kitchen and helps her out. The two sneak the food back into the weyrling barracks then and have a heart-to-heart that further solidifies their friendship.
Relly is pregnant. Six months from the time that it happened, she's been in a boat of denial. It's hard to do so when you're going through all the symptoms that a pregnant woman does, and now that she's been showing … Yeah. Fuck. She was pregnant. What was she going to do? More importantly, how was her crimelord cousin, Kelarad, going to take it?
She's been hiding her pregnancy for the most part, although she was certain some of the weyrlings knew with her living in the barracks with them. Ahnika was the only one that knew for certain, and with her getting in the occasional meet with the mind healer, Evie, there was always the possibility that she knew, too. And so here she is, in the kitchen and craving for something very sweet. With her red hair braided down her back, Relly raids through the ovens not too long before the weyrlings' curfew, deft fingers managing to scrounge up some greens and a meatroll. Not what she had in mind, but she wasn't about to throw it away either. She keeps one hand over her budding belly as she hunts, the Tillekian transplant having now at least gotten used to the growing physical change enough for it not to be so much of a discomfort anymore.
Even if she wasn't able to ride Jhath yet, Ahnika's duties only seemed to increase exponentially since Jhath grew into her wings, so to speak, and most of it involving acquiring hand-me-down riding leathers and straps and learning how to work them and adjust them for Ahni, personally. Shortly before curfew, Ahnika decides a break in her work is in order, and the close and focused work she was doing was making her feel snack-hungry and thirsty. She assumes at this hour there might still be one or two people about in the kitchens, but is reasonably sure with the clearance Indira had given her long ago for pie-making, they'd not mind her poking around. So as Ahni approaches from one of the drudge hallways, hearing someone already moving about in there doesn't give her pause. It is only when she crosses the threshold that she pauses near the entrance, watching the other redhead a moment before smiling a little, "After dinner craving?" Ahni steps a little farther into the room, going to where they keep the juice and cups when not being served out in the Living Caverns. "Seren, my foster mum," the midwife Healer, "she used to talk about how all attention-consuming cravings could be, like nothing else would satisfy until you got what you wanted." No pun intended. "Sweet or sour?" The craving presumably.
It being the time of night where the kitchen isn't fully empty from those looking to satisfy themselves on a snack, Relly doesn't stop her rummaging when she feels more than sees Ahnika enter. It's her question that gets her attention, however, the woman turning abruptly to look Ahnika's way as if she hadn't realized she was there. "Oh! Yes, something like that," she answers, laughing a bit to herself as she straightens up and watches where the green weyrling goes. "I've been having the oddest appetite lately with-" and she pauses, waving a circular pattern just ahead of her bulging belly. "So your foster ma's right," she continues on to say, sending a fond smile her way as she goes back to closing the current oven she was raiding. "I wonder how long this will last. I'm …despite having seen what all this-" the pregnancy "- is about back home, still, to go through it yourself …" and she trails that off, straightening back up once the oven is closed and leaning a bit against the counter as if such a feat took up most of her energy. To answer to that last with a tentative grin, "Sweet. Very, very sweet," she tells Ahnika, nodding towards the scraps she managed to get on her plate. "Some greens and a meatroll is not going to help me tonite."
Careful to avoid getting in the way of any late evening kitchen workers still puttering around, Ahnika grins companionably as she pours two cups of juice and meanders over to hand one cup to Relly, and where someone else might offer some tidbit of midwifery knowledge having been brought up around such an environment, Ahni is rather careful not to. Leaving the Healer knowledge to the Healers? Perhaps. Or perhaps she just is thinking Relly might not want to hear any from her. Despite the circumstances of Relly's pregnancy, Ahnika doesn't seem uncomfortable around her, but then Ahni's known for some time and suspected the possibility even before that, and the two have gotten to be friends on top of that since her arrival here. So, she's definitely not uncomfortable and it shows. "You're in luck," Ahni says with a smile, and either handing off the juice cup to Relly or setting it on the counter next to her if her hands are full, Ahni leaves her own cup at the counter and then moves over to the small private cupboard Indira granted her, unlocks it, and retrieves a deep bowl covered with cheesecloth and tied off to keep it fresh. Tucking it in one arm, she returns to the counter and grins a bit impishly as she removes the lid to reveal a mixed stash of sweets ranging from left over sweetcakes from her last batch that morning to cookies. "Chow time."
Taking one of the cups gratefully with a bobbing head of thanks, her eyes following Ahnika eagerly as she speaks and moves about the kitchen. "You know, I've really been hankering to make something in here sometime – something from Tillek, even," Relly notes, moving close to catch the mixed stash of sweets with widening eyes. "Oooh, you wouldn't mind?" she asks then, eyes lifting to meet Ahnika's only briefly now that her craving pangs spike due to the eye candy. "If it's meant for something, or someone, I don't want to eat you out of the pantry." Still she moves closer though, one hand still over her belly as she does so with her gaze fastened to the sweets revealed. It was great for her to have someone to be easy around herself, especially with the events she had gone through along with the current. Relly didn't know what she would do otherwise, and as such, her mood has improved tremendously. For the most part, anyway. Being pregnant does bring on its own sort of moods. Taking a long sip from the cup and setting it back with Ahnika's on the counter now that there was food to be had, "I trust your Jhath is well?" she asks after the green, it becoming natural for her now to speak of dragons as much as she does people in comparison to how she was when she first arrived at the Weyr.
"That so?" Ahnika grins a bit, "You should. I'd love to help. Learn a new recipe. Maybe bake a favorite batch of Tillekian cookies or pie or something for the next time we have a get-together up there." She won't drop names here, even if the few remaining kitchen staff who are puttering around appear not to be paying any attention, "No reason why folks can't enjoy a snack while they conduct business, right?" Or give bad news. She sets the container down on the counter, and regarding whether or not she'd mind, "Not at all." Ahnika takes the moment to sip her juice and gives a little wave of her free hand to the container for Relly to take her pick of cookies and cakes and turnovers and such. "It's meant for me and the friends I want to share it with. Right now, that means you." After swallowing her sip, she sets her cup down, "If you want we can be really bad and take it back to the barracks and get crumbs in the sheets." She grins, then smiles a little more warmly, "Jhath's very well, thank you, and sends her regards, too. She's mulling over a new puzzle-riddle I gave her and that always has her content." Then in more of a sotto voce (as if Jhath is right there and has the potential of overhearing) "She'll probably stay focused and concentrating so hard she won't realize she fell asleep until tomorrow morning."
When Ahnika says that she would love to help her in cooking, Relly sends over a cheerful smile in response. She likes the idea of baking cookies…but then the get-together is mentioned and some of that cheerfulness ebbs. Blinking and looking away for a moment, she sets to picking out a couple of sweets from the bowl in the pause. Once she's downed a turnover and a couple of cookies, "I don't think…I can go back," she voices her thoughts, eyes seeking Ahnika's out as her fingers close around her cup of juice. There's a slight frown as she says this, the words difficult – or rather, voicing her own feelings seem to come difficult for her. She takes a long sip before setting it back down, then adds, "I feel like he's coming soon." She doesn't feel like she needs to elaborate on the 'who', assuming the weyrling to know. "He doesn't know…about this." He's certainly going to get a surprise. But it's short-lived when she harks back to the sweets and getting crumbs in the sheets. That gets her smile to lift back into place, and with a light giggle, "Actually, I could really go for being 'bad', right now," she confides, leaning forward to pin Ahnika with a quite mischievous look. Wouldn't that be something – a pregnant woman and a weyrling sneaking a bowl of sweets back into the barracks! Relly could go for the distraction. Her smile turns warm at the answer on Jhath, the Tillekian having grown rather fond of the dragon. At hearing the next, there's a light frown as she gorges on a large cookie and asks with laughter in her alto, "What new puzzle-riddle? Is it meant to be solved?"
Resting her forearms on the counter as she leans forward, corralling her cup of juice within as her hands clasp together, Ahnika looks with frank earnestness as she murmurs in reply, "And I don't think anyone should make you if you don't want to go, Relly. And if it comes down to it, I can safely say me and Jhath won't let it happen unless you change your mind." Max, she suspects, won't let it happen either, but she can't speak for him and doesn't try to. Well, at least not this time. "But it'd go a long way, I think, if you told them yourself you want to stay without being asked first. Otherwise, it will just look to them like we are keeping you here against your will, or we've coerced you into it, or whatever." She lapsing silent, simply nodding in acknowledgement to Kelarad not knowing yet, assuming that had been the case since she was the one to break the news to Max and Max didn't have to find out about it by Kelarad introducing Max to his boot by way of his arse. "Would it be easier for you to talk to him when he comes if me and Jhath are there with you?" Ahni has no way of knowing if this will be a meeting inside or outside of the Weyr, but in the case of the latter, she'll do her best to pull whatever strings she can to get permission, if Relly wants her there for it. Then a mischievous grin of her own and she winks, "Then let's be bad together," and putting the cheesecloth cover back over the deep bowl as Relly grabs that large cookie, and securing it before moving back and relocking her private little cupboard Indira gave her, and then back for her juice in one hand and her other arm wrapping around the bowl to hold against her as they walk. Chuckling softly, "This one is answerable: 'I pass before Rukbat, yet I cast no shadow. What am I?'" It's actually one she's used to occupy Jhath before, but one of the few good things about a dragon's memory is Ahnika doesn't have to find or come up with new riddles and puzzles and problems for Jhath to solve quite so much.
Leaning forward and trying to copy Ahnika's forearmed pose on the counter with her cup, Relly shows a slight frown as she answers, "Of course! It's not that I can't stand up to my cousin, it's just that –" that Kelarad can be quite imposing when he wants to be? "I mean, once they find out that I'm, you know, like this? I think it's best to stay down here, you know?" In all the months she's been at the Weyr, learning and doing all the things she never got to learn or do up north, the Tillekian had grown to really like life down south. With her being pregnant with Vaputero's child… "I think…I know that I can tell him if you're there," she says firmly, turning a wide gaze towards Ahnika. The thought of having to break the news to Tillek's crimelord and Relly's relative was enough to have her go into labor right there and then. "There's a part of me that wants to go back, of course, but, since being here… since meeting you, and Jhath, and all sorts of people.." Yes. The Weyr was exciting compared to living in a Hold where Relly always felt she didn't belong. When Ahnika announces for them to cause some mischief, much of her misgivings about her current and future station in life drop away with that brightening smile. She finds it hard keep back the giggle that escapes, turning with her drink and walking out close to the weyrling. She gives those she passes brief glances, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible beside Ahnika as they both put actions to words. The puzzle Ahnika comes up with for Jhath has Relly frowning as they trot along, the redheaded Tillekian trying to figure it out herself. Her eyes narrowing, "Cast no shadow?" she echoes the words slowly. "Hmmm…and you say that she can find the answer to this? They can reason like a harper?" They. Dragons.
"I think it's best for you to do whatever the shells you want for your life and if that's stay here or go back, well, fuck what anyone else might have to say about it," Ahnika says with pure, raw feminism, and cue mental warble of agreement from "Jhath d'Arc" over that one, though Ahnika probably should have qualified it a little more with something like 'as long as it's legal' or 'as long as it doesn't get you killed' but she can be a little short-sighted about that sort of thing, especially when she's being all 'girl-power' like. "Then I'll be there for you," Ahnika responds with a smile, reaching a hand to briefly try and grasp her arm or elbow in an encouraging and reassuring manner. She won't dare try and grasp a hand, knowing that the pregnant woman is stuffing her face with sweets and Ahni's fingers might potentially be at risk. "I'd miss you if you did want to go back," Ahnika says to her saying there is a part of her that wants to, "but I'd understand, too. Sometimes I miss the old cothold where I grew up, myself. I look forward to being able to fly with Jhath and showing her where I grew up." And Max, too, but she'll leave that unsaid. The giggling is contagious as evidenced by Ahnika catching it, too, as they make their not-so-discreet exit. Now in the tunnels and heading for the barracks, Ahnika grins, "Some can reason better than others, but yes, they all can," and then with no small amount of fondness for her green, "Jhath … she's really clever. Though sometimes I have to give her hints. It depends on the riddle. This one she usually can get the very next time she takes to the sky." That in itself is a hint, no doubt, and has probably started Jhath off into a new round of contemplation.
Those bursts of 'girl power'- something that is highly lacking in all the Holds of Pern – has become a comfort to Relly. Where in the beginning she had used to blanche at such notions put forth by the green weyrling, now she looks hard-pressed to deny any of it. Walking along side Ahnika as she says it, the pregnant woman flashes an enigmatic smile at that and nods firmly. "You know what," she says, moving as if to snag an arm around Ahnika's own if it connects while they walk. "You're right. Fuck them. Fuck him!" Well, it's so easy to say that when they're not present, right? For the moment, and for the last several months even, Ahnika has effectively empowered the holdless-turned-holdgirl from Tillek into someone that looked ready to take on all of Pern. She looks pleased when the other says she would go with her when she faces Kelarad over her growing matter, and further sentiments have her sending over genuine smile along with, "I would miss you too, if I left. I'd miss all of this!" Fingers close over a cookie in the bowl, adding, "I've been thinking, though. I could always visit there, right? I have friends there that I know are worried about me, being that it's been months and I've haven't had the time to send up a letter. I don't want Miena and Daver to worry about me." On the topic of flight, "How much longer before you can?" she asks on her and Jhath flying to her old cothold, and flying in general. Speaking of Jhath, "It's really fascinating, these dragons," she comments lightly, much more free in giving voice to her comments and opinions with the weyrling now that she was quite used to her company. "There's so much I've heard back at the Hold that's turned out to be totally untrue! There was this one/ man back at the Hold," she confides with laughter in her voice, "that was convincing the lot of us that dragons and their hides would change color according to their moods. Can you believe that?" She snickers quietly, "He would tell us that the green dragons were really brown, and so on… no wonder some holdbred folks come here with their eyes as wide as plates!" Back to Jhath, she adds once the laughter dies down, "Something tells me she'll figure it out before you know it. Let me know what answer she gives!"
Ahnika has the influence of Seren and Indira to thank for those moments of 'girl power'. Otherwise, she'd probably be blanching right along with Relly. The arm with the deep bowl is snagged easily enough as they walk and Ahni smiles right back while Relly reaffirms her independence, "Sharding right! They'd be lost without us, you know." They? Who's they? Weren't they just talking about Kelarad? "They need us more than we need them. I bet that's why they try to control us so much, like the men who don't let girls learn to read and such, or overpower us with brute strength, treating girls little better than herdbeasts for breeding without any say-so in our lives. It's to hold us back. Hold us down. They can't risk losing us. We're their only true power." And the weyrlings who are already back at the barracks and getting ready to turn in have to deal with an obnoxious and seemingly out-of-nowhere trumpet of emphasis from Jhath over at her couch. Laughing a little, Ahnika echoes the trumpet with a "Rar!" of her own in the tunnels just before they emerge into the late evening bowl traffic. With her hands full, she doesn't partake in any sweets along the way, but she doesn't object to Relly doing so. If anything, she moves the bowl a little closer to make it easier. "I can't see any reason for you not to visit your friends up there. I mean, we should be sensible about it, you know, try to keep it from being known by too many people, especially …" Vaputero. Ahnika has no idea what a man like that will do if he finds out Relly is pregnant with his child. "But we can make arrangements to do it right and sensibly. And when Jhath and I are able to fly other people, we can go and visit them whenever you like." There's a thoughtful pause as Ahni considers Relly's next question, "It's hard to say. I mean, Jhath's doing well flying on her own right now. I think she could even leave the Weyr if they allowed it. And they did tell us months ago to start working on our straps and leathers. I'm hoping they'll allow us to try to ride them in the next few weeks, but Nara says they usually don't until the dragons are about a turn old, and that's not for another three months or so. Ahnika snorts a little at the unfounded rumors about dragons being passed around, "Jhath is ten times better than any broody brown. I'm not surprised, though. Those who control the information, control the people, and that includes misinformation." Then she grins, spying Jhath now waiting for them outside the barracks, perhaps she was asked to leave if she was going to be so loud, "She'll get it, yeah. She always does. What's hard is keeping the answer firmly locked away in my head and trying not to think about it and giving it away. But that by itself is practice, too, for me. I can tell you after she's gone to sleep if you want, though."
Ahnika's arm snagged, "I've met plenty of girls who like to be influenced and such," Relly agrees fervently, snacking on a turnover as they walk. "You're right, though. They would be lost without us! Some of them can be so downright absent-minded if we're not there to do things for them. Did you know that Loriendovus was like that?" She speaks on the Telgari crimelord, mentioning him along with the rest easily since she used to work for him. "Wouldn't even have his boots on if not for me! Are dragonriders just the same?" She's visibly pleased when Ahnika notes it's sensibly possible for her to visit back up there every now and then, though when the other takes that pause on trying to keep such visits from certain people, "Vaputero Ilste," she states his full name, eyes seeking out the weyrling's in that quiet pause. After a moment, "He'll know eventually, you know," she adds quietly, eyes looking on ahead of them. "About me. About this. He'll want to see…" It was a difficult situation – one she's been forcing herself to face from the moment she realized she was with child. It's a sign that she's come to face all of it with her being able to even voice his name. "He's unpredictable," she admits on him, speaking in a crisp tone that she's heard the crimelord up in Telgar use. "Loriendovus would say so. I want to say that I know what he would want – what he would do about this…his child," she corrects herself softly, "but he's too unpredictable." After a pause, going thoughtfully silent when Ahnika talks about when she and Jhath could fly, "Who's Nara?" she picks up that unfamiliar name, sending a curious look her way. She then sends an amused grin her way on Jhath being better than any brown, "She could even stand up to a queen, the way she demands so much respect. If any of the holders back home had gotten a good gander at her…" Eyes fall on the green dragon as they near, the redhead giving her a little wave of the turnover she's snacking on before talk of the puzzle has her nodding, "Please let me know, when she's sleep? Do they do that often, though? Get inside your thoughts like that?" Eyes stare curiously on Jhath as she now voices the questions that have been assailing her since her living at the barracks. "Does that mean you can't keep your secrets, Ahni?"
Ahnika nods a little to the first, lapsing quiet and contemplative as she muses over that one, not having really thought a whole lot about why some women let themselves be managed by men like that and seem to like it better. To this firecracker of a weyrling, it seems unfathomable, really, though she knows Relly is right. Those women do exist. Such contemplation fades, however, as Relly continues and Ahnika grins, "He was? You know, that reminds me of something Seren once said, 'Behind every powerful man is an even greater woman.'" Though she's obviously not putting that into context with her and Max as there's nothing haughty in her expression. She's probably blush if she thought it out further. And then she winks at Relly, laughing, "His feet probably would have fallen off by now without his boots!" Her mirth is short-lived, however with talk of Vaput and his finding out. There was a time when she would deny the truth, suggest running, going to ground, pulling out all stops imaginable to prevent him from finding out and firmly believing it could be kept from him forever, but in the end she sees Relly's point. She knows it's only a matter of time. The trick is controlling when and how he finds out. With the way her hands are full, she can't exactly give Relly a hug, but she does pull her arm in a little in a gesture of a squeeze around the arm Relly has clasped about hers. "I know," she says softly, "but you're among strong friends here. Him being unpredictable or not, we won't let anything happen to you or the baby. You're practically another sister-in-arms to Jhath and me. We'll all work it out together." Girl Power. Then Ahnika grins, "Nara is another greenrider. She's older though. She's lived with her green a long time and has the greatest advice about things. Well, most of the time." When it's not about sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll, so to speak. Nara is a party girl. Then she chuckles, "Even Jhath says she'd never stand up to a queen, but I think that's because she sees them differently than the other dragons, those she would stand up to if there was just cause." That being that queens are born with majesty, as if by divine favor, not science, and are therefore due more reverence. "But yeah …" Ahnika says, looking at her tall and stocky green on their approach, "very little seems to cow her, I agree. My dignified, militant, brave girl." All said with utmost fondness and earnestness. Jhath bugles in greeting as Relly waves, a bugle that bounces around the bowl a few times in echo. Ahni, and probably most of the weyrlings, are used to that obnoxious, over-the-top physical voice of hers by now. The redheaded weyrling looks to consider Relly's last questions, "I think so. Jhath does sometimes, though not all the time, and I've heard other weyrlings say as much. Though I think it sort of depends on the dragon and the rider as to by how far. I can keep things from her. It's just harder when she's awake. I have had to sort of focus more, kind of like …" Ahnika searches, "kind of like curtaining off a part of a room, knowing what's on the other side, but not letting your company see it." She steps through the large, dragon-sized opening to the barracks and Jhath falls into step with the pair of redheads.
"I believe that!" Relly pipes up on the motto, a little skip in her step on this topic. "My ma would say the same thing, you know? She would say that's how the Lord Holders function even remotely so well. If their Lady Holder doesn't amount to much…" then neither did the Lord Holder? "I don't know about crimelords, though," she goes on to add, frowning a bit in response to Lorien. "Though if it wasn't for me, he would have lost all his boots! Part of me wants to check up on him, just to make sure he's getting on alright." She smiles when Ahnika squeezes her arm, and those encouraging words on Vaputero warms that smile further. Yes, she is reassured of the friends she has here. It's evident in the fact that she subsides easily to the point, nodding her head a few times and easily putting forth, "I think I like being a sister-in-arms to you and Jhath," with amusement in her tone. "And I can see Jhath respecting the queens so. It still amazes me how big they are up close! Even the ones in the barracks!" Jhath's answering bugle to her wave delights her, the laughter light and airy now that they've arrived to their destination uncaught. "I used to have this silly notion that one day a dragonrider would come and sweep me off my feet to a Weyr, and from there, I would Impress to some gorgeous dragon," she confides as she looks the green over, her hands now free of sweets for the moment. Stepping towards Jhath with her hand outreached to give her headknobs a rub, "But that's what most holders dream of, right? Kelarad used to be so annoyed that I would even bother with such dreams, with him seeing dragonriders as nuisances." Eyes falling on the barrack contents as they enter, "I do wonder though," she adds, sending a glance towards Ahnika. "What would become of me once I have this baby? Will I still be able to stay here?" Because she could just imagine the baby crying every which time and W'red clawing himself up the wall in frustration of it. Now being inside, she lets Ahnika and her green lead to where they can stash their bounty and she could eat to her heart's content, exchanging smiles with a few of the weyrlings present that she likes to talk to on occasion.
Nodding in agreement to Relly and her mother's commentary about men needing women more than the other way around, Ahnika smiles, but it's tinged with a depth of consideration in her grey eyes as she thinking about Lord and Lady Tillek and how that dynamic came about and what it might mean for the rest of those holders under their responsibility when … things come to a head. "Well," Ahnika says finally, still smiling and dismissing the more worrisome thoughts, "If you really want to check up on him, I'm sure something could be arranged, either by way of letter or a person or yourself. It's just a matter of which resources to apply," says the would-be junior headwoman. The smile turns fonder still as the other young woman speaks of liking being a sister-in-arms to Jhath and Ahni, and then grins brightly, adding, "Being swept away for romance and Impression isn't silly and certainly nothing for him to get annoyed with. Dismissing what any woman values is a man's first mistake." Jhath dips her head a little into the headknob rubbing, a deeply contented rumble coming from the green's chest. Then Ahni giggles a little, adding, "We should make up a list of rules of do's and don'ts for men to follow. You know, for when they don't have a woman to keep them in line and from getting lost for them. We could send it to the Harper Hall to be made into a teaching ballad for all boys." This is stated as she passes one of the male weyrlings who rolls his eyes at them, but Ahni continues, "Rule Number One: don't dismiss our values, especially our dreams." She turns down the row of cots and couches and stops in front of her own made bed, sinking down onto it and putting the deep bowl of sweets down next to her, leaving plenty of room for Relly. Jhath moves on to settle onto her oversized couch, but she looks quite interested in the conversation. Contemplating with a sip of her juice, Ahni responds to Relly's next, "I … don't know, honestly. The baby will need you for the first three months, so maybe Indira can arrange a private room for you that's safe and even with a guard nearby. After that, the baby can be looked after by the nannies in the Lower Cavern, like the others, and you'll be free to see her whenever you like, but not tied down by her," all this feminist talk apparently has Ahnika already thinking the baby will be a girl. "You're young enough, I think, too, that I bet you could even still be a candidate after the baby's been born and turned over to the nannies. We can talk to Indira about it, perhaps." We, not Ahni alone nor Relly alone. They were a team.
Relly considers Ahnika's words on how to check up on the crimelord, "Perhaps a letter," she chooses, seeing that as more plausible than any visit anytime soon. That topic's short-lived though for the more interesting one – making a list of do's and don'ts for men to follow. Eyes more bright at the notion as she gives Jhath's headknobs a final pat before moving away, "He just doesn't want me to become the 'enemy', by his words," she explains in high amusement in regards to Impression. "He's not fond of romance either. I mean there's Crawl-" she stops, a blush forming at dropping a name she hasn't uttered since being there. Eyes dropping away along with her hand from the sweets bowl, "Crawl," she says low, again. "He's Rad's second. I… don't think he approves of him and I …" but that's short-lived, too in the light of making rules for men to live by. She lets that momentarily fade from her mind as she settles down on Ahnika's cot, reaching for the sweets in the bowl with amusement back in her voice. "How about Rule Number Two: Do allow us to have an opinion, even if you think we don't know what we're talking about," she puts in with a wink, biting into a sweetcake. "Or Rule Number Three? Don't treat us as if we're invalids, especially when you know that we can handle ourselves better than most hold boys looking to venture out on their own!" She's near-draining her cup when Ahnika answers about her future with her baby in the barracks, a thoughtful expression stealing over her at the words. She nods to that, "That sounds right," she says, internally grateful to have someone like Ahnika around to be able to ask such questions to. As much as she was adapting to the life of the Weyr, she still wasn't fully trusting of the general Weyr public. When she mentions being a candidate, "Do you think so?" she brightens at this thought, the possibility of one of her holdbred dreams appearing before her. "Indira, right! She's the Headwoman, correct? Yes, we should do that soon…"
Ahnika's only response to Relly talking of Kelarad afraid of her Impressing and becoming his 'enemy' in his words, is to snort derisively, "Seems to me the fastest way to make anyone their enemy is to try and force them into a little box and not let them be free to be themselves." But she won't go so far as to call Kelarad a bad name. This is his cousin, after all. Blood is thicker than water in most cases. She smiles at the blush and the mention of Crawl, but there is no teasing that comes from Ahnika over it. "What if Crawl left Rad to come be with you? Make a life with you here? Would you want that?" Not being born in the crime syndicate world, Ahnika really is a bit naive with just how challenging leaving a renegade crime lord's employ is, even without the bad blood exit scenario that she had. She laughs at rules two and three, "Exactly!" reaching into the bowl for a cookie of her own, "Rule Number Four, knees aren't just for dandying us on. They need to get down on them in front of us, too." Beat pause and then more giggling, "First for begging and then for scrubbing the floor for us." Just how much have these girls had to drink? Oh wait, they haven't had anything to drink. To the notion of Relly still possibly having a shot at candidacy, Ahnika nods, "Well, I should think so. They don't allow pregnant girls to Stand because of the potential jealousy problems between the dragonet and the baby, but I've never heard of them not allowing a young woman who's had a baby already Stand. I mean, we have nannies and foster parents here. And it's not like you'd be far away or anything. We could ask W'red if you want, or even Alara or Randi. Randi and Alara would have the final say, of course." W'red's just a little easier to get an audience with. He's right there in the barracks. Ahni finishes chewing that bite of cookie and tilts her head a little, "You think you might still like to? Be a candidate that is?" Ahnika was Searched, so she's not really sure what the protocol is on volunteer candidates.
"Well, according to the rest of Pern, he is the 'bad guy', isn't he?" Relly notes on Kelarad with such sly amusement in her demeanor, winking. "Which is why I find Max so curious. Living in the Weyr, and running the southern lands?" Brow lifts lightly at that. As on Crawl, that blush lingers as she settles back on the bed and lets out her breath gustily. Eyes rolling to the ceiling, "I would love that of course," she answers the questions, bringing her gaze back on Ahnika, "but he wouldn't dare leave Rad! His second, leaving him for his cousin?" She shakes her head at that. "There would be no place we could hide, Ahni. The only way something like that is happening is if Rad says it could." And getting him to agree would be difficult, but she doesn't voice that. Such worries only linger briefly in the face of rules for men, and the Tillekian laughs out loud as she reaches for another cookie. "Good luck getting them to do that," she says on rule four, leaning forward with a single nod. "They'll get on their knees to kiss us, but other than that…" Nope, these girls have had nothing to drink, but perhaps they don't need to in the light of that bowl of sweets. As to candidacy, that's a whole major subject on its own. Relly considers the other's words on the matter, nodding once to the fact that pregnant girls couldn't stand. That did make sense. Head tilting slightly as she considers around munching on a cookie, "I …think I would like to have a go, at least," she answers on putting herself up for volunteer candidacy. "Such a thing I should run by Rad though, but…" she pauses as if hesitating, but then her jaw tightens and with firm resolve she looks Ahnika in the eye and adds, "…you know what? Screw that! This is my life, right? He has no say over it if I'm here!" Girl power – Kelarad better look out!
"Max is nothing if not … unconventional," which is a little like the pot calling the kettle black for Ahni, but she doesn't mean it as an insult. She has always sort of sided with the Progressives, so unconventional is just fine by her. Ahni picks out a fruit-filled turnover next and says of Crawl, "That's got to be frustrating for you both. Not likely something could be worked out to make everyone happy?" Then she grins a bit of a knowing grin to what men might do on their knees, but foregoes any response to it for fear of being overheard by one of the other weyrlings and they make assumptions that shouldn't be made. She uses that time to enjoy that turnover, instead, listening as Relly continues on about candidacy. She grins as Relly reasserts her independence again, "Sharding right!" and her free hand pumps in the air for emphasis, "It's your life, not his! And with an attitude like that, you'll make a fine dragonrider." She finishes off the turnover with a nod. "I can picture you Impressing now out there on the Hatching Sands," the redheaded weyrling muses aloud, looking with a bit of nostalgia over at Jhath where she is settled in something of a meatloaf position on her couch.
"Unconventional," Relly repeats that with some amusement, regarding Ahnika with interest. While she hasn't flat out asked her yet, she knew there was something going on between the weyrling and the beast manager. On Crawl there's a pause as she considers what's left in the bowl then, lips twisting a bit as she answers, "I want something to be worked out, but.." and she sighs a bit, eyes lifting to meet Ahnika's own, "…it's not something I don't think could be brought up right now with the pregnancy and everything. There's….a way to handle Kelarad," she admits on her cousin a bit awkwardly. "He's not that easy to make a deal with. It's even worse with family. Getting him over this preganancy's going to take some finesse." Finesse that she might have, but would need help, apparently. But, her firm resolve returning to the fore, "I'm sure something eventually could be worked out. Just going to take time and patience." She beams more when Ahnika mentions her making a good dragonrider, such words reassuring enough that she laughs aloud as she picks out a sweetcake. In awe, her eyes falling on Jhath, "What's it like?" she asks then, glancing at Ahnika. "You know…Impressing? Being out there on the sands? Is it really as hot as I've heard? Do the little dragons really attack you?" Yeah, she's heard some stories, and she's sure many of them are far-fetched back at the Hold.
"He won me over with a runner shoe," Ahnika says of Max with a nod, pauses, and then says again, "Unconventional." Well, that's probably summarizing their tumultuous start a bit too unfairly, but it's technically true. Then Ahni nods again over the delicate matter of Crawl and Kelarad and the baby, "What can me and Max do to help? When should we set up the meeting for you?" As soon as possible, Max would probably say, but Ahnika isn't about to twist Relly's arm into doing something before she is comfortable and ready to do it. She grins a little over the questions on Impressing, her eyes settling on Jhath once again, "Word's can't describe it, really. It's like … finally coming home, to where you belong, in your heart …" her voice trails off as she searches for words to really do it justice, but seems to come up short and just shakes her head a little, smiling, before saying, "No, they don't attack you … well, I've only seen the two Hatchings, but everyone I spoke to who have been to more say they're pretty much just like the ones I saw. And no one got hurt in those. They might nudge or bump into you by accident. They just hatched, so their balance isn't always the greatest. Or maybe the one they choose is behind you so they'll nudge past your legs, but they don't maul you to get to them like the stories say they do." Beat pause, "It is really hot though. If you've got tender feet, might want to go barefoot a little more often to try and toughen them up before the Hatching. Fortunately, you're not out there on the hot sand too long." Then Ahni smiles and offers encouragingly, "I bet, if they let you Stand after the baby is born, you'll be the first one to Impress." She doesn't – like so many others might – bet what color it would be. Ahni considers it bad form, since it suggests one color is better than the other and Jhath has proven to her that short of a queen's biologically-supported and recognized authority over the rest, the color of a dragon's hide makes no difference.
Relly lifts an interested brow, the sweets forgotten momentarily. "Just a runner shoe?" she echoes, leaning forward towards Ahnika a bit. "Must have been some runner shoe! But, how…" and she pauses before going on, "…how is he handling you….being here?" When Ahnika offers herself and Max to help in her matter though, there's a pause as she thinks on it, the slight frown in place. "He's supposed to be coming soon," she admits, glancing at her with a light shrug. "To check up on me, you know? So I imagine, him getting here and seeing me like this? Is going to be a big thing. Crawl and I…can wait." Yeah. Kelarad seeing his cousin pregnant, or with baby in tow depending on when he gets there, was going to be news enough. As much as she was starting out her journey of independence, the woman from the lands still had a healthy fear of her crimelord cousin – with good reason. She was willing to set that topic aside, however, for the lighter one of candidacy – which was another factor that Kelarad was not going to like should she stand. Listening through Ahnika's more accurate-sounding account of the experience, "I bet they're a sight up close like that," she wonders aloud, the smile given in slight awe. "The eggs, too. I've always heard that the queen mother would eat you if you get close to them though." Yeah. Holds and their crazy stories. No wonder some holdbred folks come to the Weyr with either awestruck or downright fear. She tries to suppress a yawn then, the work of the day starting to wear her down now that all the sweets have sated her craving, but when Ahnika mentions that she would be the first to Impress should she stand, there's a sleepy smile for her dear friend and a warm, "Even if I didn't Impress, I would still consider the whole experience extraordinary. To be a part of something that few get to ever see in their lives. You're so sweet, Ahni, for believing in me. I thank you for it." She'll lean over and offer the weyrling a hug though not as tight with a belly in the way if it succeeds.
Smiling in fond remembrance, Ahnika nods, "It was," a very special shoe, and the weyrling eyes the trunk at the end of her cot a moment where it rests within alongside her other few treasured things, before looking back at Relly and nodding, "The first three or four months were the roughest. We nearly split up, truth be told," a couple of times, "but it's easier now. Jhath and Max are actually getting along a lot better than they used to." A single trill of a trumpet comes from Jhath in response to that, a respectable sound. Ahni grins at her, nodding, and then nods once more to Relly, "Well, you know you have me and Jhath at your back, whether for Rad and your circumstances or for Rad and yours and Crawl's desires to be together. I firmly believe that if two people wish to be together, nothing can really keep them apart forever. You deserve to be happy, Relly, and if Crawl is the man for you, well, I'll do whatever's in my power to help you, whenever it's the right time for you to something about it." She grins a bit a nods again, "They are," of hatchlings being a sight to see, "all different shapes, colors, and sizes. Jhath is tall for a green. You should have seen her as a hatchling. She was tall enough even then to put her head on my shoulder." And with Ahni being as leggy as she is, that's worth mentioning, "They're all magnificent in their own way from the moment they crack shell." With a nod she adds, "I don't think the queen would actually eat you, but it's best not to get too close without her permission, which she does give on occasion. All the candidates are allowed to touch the eggs, but it's an organized and scheduled affair. Touching them outside of that is not allowed." Returning the hug gently, Ahni smiles, "Think not a jot on't. You're easy to believe in. You've got spine without being an obnoxious runner's arse about it," beat pause, "like a man would be." She grins and winks as she pulls away, "Everything will work out in the long run, Relly. I'm sure of it. In the meantime, don't let me keep you up if you're getting tired." Jhath croons to the pregnant redhead in fond farewell from her couch.
Smiling more a touch, her eyes going where Ahnika's does, "It was tough because of…." And Relly nods toward Jhath, that getting her to thinking. "Is it true that only dragonriders should be together then?" But then, Ahnika and Max are getting along… As for Crawl, "I don't even know if he's right for me," she'll admit that, shaking her head bit with a frown. "We haven't talked for long, and with our situations being what they are… well, I suppose I'll know what it is when I see him again. If I see him again." Maybe, without her realizing it yet, it was her way of keeping her options open. Talk of hatchlings puts light into her otherwise tired eyes, her gaze alternating between her and Jhath as if both of them were talking to her at once. "I wish I had been there," she voices wistfully on attending Ahnika's hatching, rocking back on her knees as she settles her hands into her lap. "To see it all! But maybe, next time…" Next time here. There's hope in her voice as she says it, but through the embrace and Ahnika's encouraging words, there's light laughter and a wry, "You're the one with spine, Ahni. I've never met another woman with such a strong mind. Being where I'm from…well, you're definitely a rarity there." Leaning forward with a wink, "I'm looking forward to being strong like that," she confides before releasing her, tacking on, "And I believe you. One day at a time, right?" And this time, she was getting tired. Hands stretch above her head then, letting out a small yawn before she reaches to pat Ahnika fondly on the leg as she gets off the cot. "Thanks so much for the sweets," Relly says then, sending Jhath a nod for the croon. "I think we should do this again, and soon. Have a little excitement in our lives, hmm?" She sends the other a mischievous wink as she prepare to depart for the night.
Ahnika doesn't even hesitate to snort, though the derision is meant for anyone who'd state as much and not Relly herself. But it's a little bit of overly emphasized, almost like she's dismissing it in an effort to convince herself, or at least not let such seeds of doubt take root. A flash of fear in her grey eyes and then it is gone as she shakes her head, "Not at all. It's just a matter of the dragonet needing some time just with you at first. If two people love each other enough, they can work through anything that comes up, even when one's a rider and the other not." They can do this. Ahni has to believe in it. It may not always be easy, but nothing worth having was ever easy. She smiles then to Relly wishing she had been there to see it, and sensing their little sweet-gather on her cot was coming to an end, Ahni leans over to set the bowl down on the flat top of her footlocker trunk, leaving whatever is left over as easy pickings for the other weyrlings as they go by, all the better for her to have an empty bowl to put a fresh batch of baked goods in tomorrow, perhaps. "Next time, for sure. One of the queens is due to rise any time now, so, in another few months, we'll be welcoming many new faces to Pern," the last is said with another look at Relly's stomach and a warm smile. Then she nods, "One day at a time, yes. And you're welcome, but I love to bake," and make the occasional stew, but mostly she's got a preference for baked goods, "so you give me a good excuse to make time in the kitchens. I'll bake some more and we'll get crumbs in the sheets again soon. Promise." Then she grins and gives a little wave to Relly's wink, "Night. Sleep well, Relly. I'll see you in the morning."

Dialog Box
Four international studies have made significant breakthroughs in childhood brain cancer research this week, focused on Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, or DIPG.
Four teams of researchers have been looking into Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), which is an aggressive but rare brain tumour, primarily affecting children, which grows in the brain stem and is therefore very hard to treat.
The studies all involved researchers from around the world and are great examples of the kind of international collaboration Cure Brain Cancer Foundation supports to accelerate the development of new treatments. Australian tumour samples were also used in the research. Australian bio banking processes are world-class and therefore tissue from them is often requested for use in international research projects.
From funding to research, DIPG has had a lot of attention this week, with President Obama signing the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act, dedicating millions of dollars to paediatric medical research, named in honour of 10 year old Gabriella Miller who died from DIPG.
A study led by the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada, has uncovered genetic drivers behind DIPG and identified three distinct sub-groups of the disease (H3-K27M, silent and MYCN).
They have shown that there are different genes driving the behaviour of all three subtypes of DIPG, meaning that each subgroup requires different treatments.
They also found a new recurrent mutation affecting the activin receptor gene ACVR1, which has never been implicated in cancer before.
"We found that there are actually different genes driving the behaviour of each DIPG subgroup, which has key implications for the design of appropriate and more targeted therapy for these tumours."
- Dr. Cynthia Hawkins, Principal Investigator
This study was published in the journal Nature Genetics and involved DIPG samples from Australia, as well as Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.
The researchers are now looking at what therapies might work on each individual DIPG subgroup.
A project led by scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research in London has found a genetic crossover between DIPG and another childhood disease.
They too identified recurrent activating mutations in the ACVR1 gene. In fact, they found a high frequency of genetic faults cropping up in a precise portion of ACRV1 that had not previously been linked to DIPG.
But strikingly, they also found that these mutations are identical to mutations found in people with the congenital childhood developmental disorder fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP).
This is good news for DIPG because thanks to research into FOP there are already potential drugs being developed to target the faulty ACVR1 gene. In the future, once the role it plays in DIPG is better understood, there is the chance that these drugs could be repurposed for use on DIPG.
"When you think that the human genome – the complete set of genetic information found in our cells – is over 3 billion letters in length, finding that the same few spelling mistakes are shared between two rare and drastically different diseases is remarkable"
- Dr Chris Jones, Institute of Cancer Research
Their study was also published in the journal Nature Genetics.
Scientists from Dana Farber/Boston Children's and Blood Disorders Centre have also published a study in Nature Genetics linking ACVR1 mutations to DIPG, identifying potential new targets for drug treatments.
And the fourth study published was by researchers at St Jude Children's Research Hospital-Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project, which notes that mutations often differ based on the patient's age. DIPGs usually occur in children aged 5 to 10. The research team have found ACVR1 mutations occurred most often in younger-than-average patients. You can read this study Nature Genetics too.
"This study provides striking new evidence of how high-grade gliomas differ not only between adults and children, but also between older and younger children"
- Suzanne Baker, PhD, of St. Jude Developmental Neurobiology.
These studies demonstrate how significant an impact international collaboration can have on understanding brain cancer. All these studies involved international collaboration and used tumour samples from biobanks around the world, including Australia. Furthermore, finding a genetic link between two different childhood diseases means that these two research areas can now work together to share knowledge and help each other develop new potential treatments. This is why collaboration is a key plank of Cure Brain Cancer's Research Strategy.
But brain cancer research requires funding. While breakthroughs like these are promising, the sad fact is that brain cancer still kills more children in Australia than any other disease.
The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act is welcome news for researchers and patients in the US. The bill will divert $126 million dollars of funding to medical research into paediatric brain tumours and other childhood diseases. Click here to watch President Obama signing the Act, alongside Gabriella's family at the White House.
Gabriella was a good friend of Erin Griffin from Adelaide, who also has DIPG and is campaigning to raise awareness and funds for research here in Australia. Watch Erin's story about her fight for kids.
Only a few weeks ago, Senator Catryna Bilyk (Labour Senator for Tasmania) called for a new model of funding for cancer in Australia that puts our kids first.
Cure Brain Cancer Foundation is continuing to engage with government at all levels to fund medical research and coordination of care for brain cancer patients.

- The NASA senators will instead meet in two weeks' time to try get a solution following the removal of Wetangula as Senate Minority Leader
- The senators will then report back to the Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka on Wetangula's future
- Raila said the NASA senators also endorsed a peace pact he signed with President Uhuru Kenyatta
- The meeting came amidst a huge crack in the coalition after the Bungoma senator was replaced with his Siaya colleague James Orengo
NASA top leaders and senators on Thursday, March 22 failed to agree on an immediate solution following the ouster of Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula as Senate Minority Leader.
This is despite the Wetangula ejection threatening to tear NASA down the middle after the senator warned of a "messy" divorce.

Co-principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Wetangula while speaking to journalists after a summit meeting dodged queries as to what the future held after the Bungoma senator lost his seat to his Siaya counterpart James Orengo after a majority of ODM senators voted him out.
Raila while addressing the press said the meeting with NASA senators fully endorsed the MoU signed between him and President Uhuru Kenyatta at Harambee House.

"We had a very cordial discussion with the senators and we briefed them on several issues that are of concern to the country..the senators fully endorsed the MoU signed between President Uhuru Kenyatta and the People's President Raila Odinga," he said.
The ODM leader added the summit,which another NASA co-principal Musalia Mudavadi skipped, agreed that the opposition senators will hold a retreat in two weeks' time to further discuss the Wetangula ouster.
"Honorable Moses Wetangula also had an opportunity to respond to issues raised by the senators," Raila added.

After the retreat, the senators will then send a report to the Speaker of the Senate Ken Lusaka.
But both the former prime minister and Kalonzo remained cagey on what will happen to Wetangula between now and the retreat.
READ ALSO: Wetangula joins long list of politicians who've been badly bruised after working with Raila
The Bungoma senator who was also present during the brief press address remained passive and was clearly agitated and did not speak to the media.
Kalonzo insisted the coalition was united and would forge forward despite the obvious cracks.
Wetangula was ousted after NASA-affiliated MPs led by Lugari's Ayub Savula dared ODM to get out of NASA if it did not support an all-inclusive dialogue with President Uhuru Kenyatta
Despite other NASA co-principals openly disagreeing with the Wetangula ouster, ODM made good its threat and removed Wetangula as the senate minority leader.

What Rhetoric May Illuminate About the Charleston Shootingsposted: 6.25.15 by Andrea Lunsford
In the days that have passed since the murder of nine worshippers at Charleston's historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, I have been able to think of little else. Nine lives offered up to white supremacist hatred. I will not write or say the name of the murderer. He doesn't deserve the distinction. [read more]

One of my new friends here in Altona is Kawsar. I met her for the first time last spring the day she registered for a garden plot at the Altona Community Garden.
It has been more than a decade since I have preached a sermon. For the most part I enjoyed my preaching career and over the years I received a lot of affirmation that public speaking was one of my gifts.
Since starting to write regularly again about a year and a half ago I have posted 36 essays in which I explored lessons I am learning about spirituality as well as insights I have gleaned from observing life around me.
In this essay I will wrestle more directly with the question of how I, as a Jesus-Follower, should think and respond to global economic systems. In other words, I will be asking how visions of Kingdom economics should affect how I live.
As you may have noticed, in my former essay I used Economics 101 and Economics 202 as "handles" to depict capitalism as it was envisioned by Adam Smith in 1776 and how it has been corrupted in subsequent centuries.
In my recent reading of Marcus Peter Rempel's book, Life at the End of Us vs. Them (2017), I found some help in understanding the story of capitalism, especially the fact that capitalism seems to have flourished best in those parts of the world influenced by Christianity.
To say that 2018 has been a momentous year is an understatement. Indeed, it has brought out some of the best and the worst in people around the globe.
Borders are front and center these days. We are told that a country without strong borders is not a country at all.
For much of my life I have conflated Jesus, born in Bethlehem, with the cosmic Christ through whom the world was made. It is only recently that I have come to see that "Jesus and Christ are not the same."

Can a girl ask a guy out?
Want to know how to get a boyfriend?
And not sure if you should ask him out ...or wait for him to do it?
Traditionally it's been the guys job to do the asking. We all know this. It's been engrained into each and every one of us since we were children growing up from the movies we watch to the songs we hear. It's almost always the guy chasing the girl and trying to attract her rather than the other way around.
I'm not saying this is wrong or right, I'm just saying this is the way we have been programmed to believe things should be. So from a psychological point of view – our psychology tells us it's the man's role to do the asking.
Therefore if the woman does the asking – what does this mean? Well in effect, this natural psychology becomes unbalanced. And the result is that in some cases, the guy might have an underlying feeling as though the woman is questioning his role as a man and questioning his masculinity. Afterall, he always grew up with the idea that it was the mans role to do the asking.
So I can't ask a man out?
Yes you CAN ask a man out. Doing so is actually a good thing and is a key component to making a guy fall in love with you as I go through in my book "THE LOVEMAP CODE: How To Make Someone Fall In Love With You Using Psychology.
BUT you shouldn't ask the guy out in the way you might think.
Let me put it this way to you:
"I wonder what time it is."
If I was to say that to you during a conversation, what would you say back to me? You'd most likely look at your watch and tell me what time it was …despite the fact I never actually asked you for the time. I was simply stating that I happened to be wondering what time it was.
So in short, you gave me something without me actually asking for it. And this is exactly the approach you should take when pursuing a guy you like.
How to get a boyfriend ...using this information
In short, yes, you will be asking the guy out …but you'll be avoiding the natural questioning of his role as a man that would have been caused by directly asking him out. Indirectly asking the guy is a much safer bet …because it allows the guy to justify in his own mind that he was the one to do the asking (even though in reality it was you, because you had given the prompt).
For example, you could use lines such as:
"I hear that new movie being shown at this cinema is just great!"
"You know, I've always wanted to try out their pearl milk tea here."
"The weathers going to be great this weekend. I should make use of it but I don't have any plans."
This way, you get the guy to ask you out …rather than waiting for him to do so of his own initiative (which he may or may not have ever done). You're being proactive, but you're not questioning his masculine role in the male-female dynamic in the process.
In addition, by using any of these lines, you're giving him the chance to take the initiative and ask you out and if he doesn't, you can simply continue the conversation without things turning awkward for the both of you. In other words, it allows you to pursue him without a fear of rejection.
Watch His Friends
Most guys will know it was you who did the prompting, but because it was them who did the actual asking out, it allows them to essentially pretend that they were the one in control. And this is important to the guy. It makes them feel brave, in control and that they were doing what guys ought to do – ask the woman out. Even though he'll know you gave the prompt, this is a lie he'll want to believe to himself. Both you and him will want him to believe this.
But if you were to prompt him in front of his friends – THEY might not be so eager to allow him to believe this lie. They've no vested interest in the relationship (between you and him) so they will happily point out to him (as guys like to do), that actually it was the woman who really did the asking out. This could either damage his ego or make him think that you're being too eager. It destroys the illusion in other words.
So when you do prompt the guy, make sure you do it when you're alone with him or at a time when his friends can't hear your prompt.

"It's exciting for us to open our first store in Hong Kong.

Siblings To Hold Faith Based Summer Camp
A brother and sister duo have launched a new faith-based summer camp, with the aim of helping the island's young people foster a greater appreciation for animals, nature and community service.
Rise Bermuda, founded by siblings Kamala and Richard Shastri, will run at Willowbank for six weeks, starting on July 17 until August 25 .
According to Miss Shastri, a veterinarian turned teacher, the idea for the camp was sparked by her greatest passions in life: her faith, children, animals and nature.
"It's always been a desire of mine to teach young people the responsibility of care that we have for not only our planet, but ourselves, and to do this out of the love God has for us all," Miss Shastri explained. "I'm excited that Rise Bermuda will incorporate all of these different elements.
"The camp aims to have a holistic approach to service; for instance we may be cleaning up a beach, learning about how trash gets to that place, why it is harmful, the difference between degradable and non-degradable materials and also what God says about taking care of this Earth. Most importantly, we are creating opportunities for young people to have lots of fun, so it's a win-win."
Teaching is something that runs in the Shastri's blood.
Their great grandmother, Bernice Tankard, owned her own nursery school in Joell's Alley; their mother Tricia Shastri is also an educator and ran Tender Care Nursery in Somerset for many years.
Miss Shastri said: "I have been a youth leader for Cornerstone's Uplink Youth Ministry [middle school youth group] and a Sunday school teacher for three years now. It was actually working in these ministries that ignited my passion to teach, to such an extent that I reduced the amount of time I spent working as a vet [at Ettrick Animal Hospital] to pursue training to become a teacher.
"My brother Richard and I are both passionate about teaching, and will have completed our teacher training courses by the end of this school year.
"Our values and desires to be a positive influence to young people are the same, but we couldn't be more different in our personalities! I think it is those differences that will create a healthy balance with the children we have in our care."
The camp is for children aged 8-12 years, and will start at 9am and run until 3.30pm, however there will be an early drop off and pick up options available as well for parents.
The day will start with singing and dancing to worship God, then move into a short lesson or devotional directly applicable to the service activity for the day.
These activities will vary depending on which week children are enrolled, but may include gardening, environmental clean ups, upcycling projects, local farm support, creating animal feeders, helping at a care home and creating care packages for Bermuda's public servants.
There will also be lots of games, arts and craft activities, swimming and nature trails on offer to young people.
Parents or guardians can register their child online at www.risebermuda.com or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Spaces are limited, as they can only accommodate a maximum of 12 students per week. The Camp Fee is $250/week.

Here at People Medical Consulting we like spreading what we know and giving you a clear pathway to your career. We're answering a different question each week based on queries raised via our Facebook & Instagram profiles.
What is a Replacement District of Workforce Shortage (DWS) and How Do I Get One?
A 'Replacement DWS' means that if a General Practitioner who is restricted by DWS is working in a location under a DWS Provider Number leaves the clinic, the practice is entitled to find another GP who may be restricted by DWS to use that DWS.
The GP who is leaving may have started working in the practice while it was a DWS location, which is why they're working under a DWS provider number.
The departing GP will have to stop working in the area (defined as the "SA2" area on DoctorConnect) and sign a Statutory Declaration confirming that they will no longer be working in that area. They will also need to close their provider number and provide a copy of the cancellation to the practice.
The practice has 12 months from the date of closure of the provider number to find a new GP.
It's important for practices to consider requesting these documents from your GP's when they hand in their notice. Some practices will put it in their contracts as well.
For GP's, holding onto your DWS is you're planning on moving out of the area for good won't help you in your new practice- the DWS is SA2 specific so please consider providing these documents to your practice when you leave.
Finally, it's important to remember (especially at this time when DWS is changing) that if you commenced your negotiations prior to DWS changes, then you're able to continue and be eligible for a DWS exemption.
If you've got any questions about this, please do not hesitate to ask!
People Medical Consulting are a team of professionals with a passion for guiding those specialising in the Medical industry to find their career pathway and settle into Australia. Working with both Australian trained and Overseas trained professionals, we have extensive experience in Recruitment of General Practitioners, Migration for all with a special emphasis on Medical and Document Assistance for those requiring support with RACGP, AHPRA, 19AA and 19AB Medicare Exemptions

Our CEO Julia Hunter's Venice Home is a Minimalist Dream
Julia Hunter's Venice bungalow is a space that captures the essence of all things Jenni Kayne. Rooted in natural tones, every room is as beautiful as it is functional. What else would one expect from our very own CEO? Not long ago, Julia called Studio City home, and her move west was welcomed with many a change—becoming a mother, for one. On a recent stop by Julia's, we took a moment to chat more about the makings of her minimalist home, leading a company with intention, what spurs her motivation, and how motherhood has shifted her understanding of it all.
- Rip & Tan: What made you decide to leave Studio City and settle in Venice?
- Julia Hunter: We weren't actually even looking to move to Venice—we just fell in love with this house when Jenni's husband Richard showed it to us. And then I sort of steam rolled my husband into moving. We had a 4 month old baby at the time so it was arguably an insane decision, but we both loved the house, loved the west side, and knew that commuting was going to be really hard with a little one at home. But really we just loved the house.
- Rip & Tan: From the minimalist aesthetic to the outdoor spaces, what do you love the most about your Venice home? How does your space help you cultivate a sense of balance?
- Julia Hunter: We bought the house from Hayden Slater (founder of Pressed Juicery) and we loved what he had done to make the house feel cohesive, light, and bright. The minimal look is made so peaceful with Venetian plaster walls, built-in white oak cabinets, and beautiful custom oak floors; those details combined with the easy and comfortable floor plan made the house feel like it was built with such thought and care. We have really tried to eliminate clutter as much as possible since we moved in, and I think it makes both of us feel much more relaxed and clear-headed to come home to a place that feels a bit more deliberate than what we were used to before moving here. (Almost!) everything has its own place in our house now and we try to maximize storage behind cabinets and closets to make sure the open spaces continue feeling open.
"Nothing has shifted the way I think about time more than having my son Cal. I value every minute in a way that I didn't before."
Shop the Story
- Rip & Tan: Think back to your very first day at Jenni Kayne. What's changed the most and what has stayed the same?
- Julia Hunter: I think the culture has changed so much over the last six years. It's always been a close knit group and everyone on the team has always loved Jenni's creative leadership, but today the team feels so cohesive and strong with complementary skillsets and such positive attitudes about the future of our brand, which is so motivating and inspiring.
- Rip & Tan: What do you love the most about leading the team at Jenni Kayne?
- Julia Hunter: I think we have a uniquely passionate and independent group of (mostly) women working together to build a brand that we share a collective vision for. It's such an amazing honor to work with so many people who bring their brilliant ideas and individual strengths to our company every day. I think we manage to keep things light on our team too—everyone is truly different versions of hilarious and it's fun to work on building this together.
- Rip & Tan: What advice would you give to someone starting a company about leading a team and growing a business?
- Julia Hunter: It's a really long road and working with people you respect, trust, and admire is the only thing that makes it sustainable long term in my opinion. I think it's the single most motivating factor for me personally and it's the reason I've been at Jenni Kayne for six years, while every other position I had prior was less than two. If your team is right anything is possible.
- Rip & Tan: Maybe we're biased, but your son Cal makes every piece of Jenni Kayne Kids all the cuter. What do you love the most about being a mom?
- Julia Hunter: Becoming a mom has given my life a sense of purpose I didn't even know it was missing before we had him. I think I cared more about material success and achievements, and now it matters so much more to me that I set a good example and help him grow into a caring, kind, and self-loving person. That work feels more important than anything else I have ever done and I'm still surprised at how much it's changed my priorities.
- Rip & Tan: What has motherhood taught you about being a leader in business and beyond? How has it shifted your perspective both personally and professionally?
- Julia Hunter: Nothing has shifted the way I think about time more than having Cal. I value every minute in a way that I didn't before. Part of that is because of the exhaustion that comes with being a new mom. I truly don't have the same energy for things that I used to, so I'm forced to prioritize what's physically possible—it's sort of hard to admit that given I'm only 35, but it's true. But even beyond that, I think I see my life on a different type of timeline than I did before. It's easier to picture myself in different decades of my life with different priorities in each now—raising young kids will feel very different than when they are in high school and then when my husband and I are empty nesters again. I always thought about life as more of a linear concept where each year needed to have more professional success than the previous year, and that was the goal I was always working towards, but now I can picture caring about different parts of my life in different ways and that feels very healthy and positive.
- Rip & Tan: How do you make a minimalist space work with children when toys and messes are all but unavoidable?
- Julia Hunter: I actually think having a baby made me feel so much clearer on the importance of keeping a minimalist space. Giving Cal a nice, peaceful place to learn and grow is probably the most meaningful thing that keeps me committed to maintaining tidiness in our home. He's still running around trying to draw on walls and dumping beverages everywhere, but I'm not a very mess-averse person, so when he does those things it doesn't bother me, and unfortunately for my husband, I have no problem leaving those things for him to clean up. So, I guess the answer is I have a partner that takes care of the messes and organizes the toys.
- Rip & Tan: Who inspires you? What motivates you?
- Julia Hunter: Since having Cal I have come to be more and more inspired by my husband Ray. He's done such an incredible job stepping into the dad role and really tries to be an equal partner to me in our family. I was responsible for a lot more of our life at home before Cal was born, but something has really changed in Ray since he became a dad and I feel so grateful that we can share all of our responsibilities equally together. He's also such an empathetic and fair person and he inspires me to be kinder and more understanding, which is something I don't think I would prioritize personally as much without him. As far as motivation, I've always been insanely and unhealthfully self-motivated. I'm an achievement oriented person for better or worse, and improving and succeeding at whatever I'm working on has always felt like a priority to me.
- Rip & Tan: When you're moving between mom and work mode, what Jenni Kayne pieces do you rely on to take you through your day?
- Julia Hunter: One day I hope to get back to my pre-baby body size, but for the time being I am loving wearing our men's sweaters and our moc clogs for day-to-day. To get dressed up for meetings I love our blazer and shearling mules. It's easy to feel pulled together yet comfortable when I pair them with jeans and one of our handbags.
- Rip & Tan: What does living well mean to you?
- Julia Hunter: Ask me in 5 years when I am forever out of the toddler phase! For now, it's just trying to be in nature with my family whenever I can. Telling people I care about how much I love them also feels good…I should do that more.

All roads leading to Tral, the hometown of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) commander Burhan Wani, who was killed in an encounter by security forces on July 8, 2016 in Anantnag, remained closed for the second day on Sunday.
Meanwhile, curfew also remained impose in the Tral town and adjoining areas since Friday evening to prevent any demonstration.
Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL), comprising Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Moulvi Omar Farooq and Mohammad Yaseen Malik, have called for a general strike on Sunday on the second day anniversary of Burhan.
Killing of Burhan led to massive protests in the valley during which 120 people were killed in security force action. The separatists have also asked people to assemble at Tral to offer "Fateha" to HM commander today.
All the roads leading to Tral town remained closed since early Saturday morning by security forces, who have set up nakas. Security forces have also imposed restrictions in Awantipora on Srinagar-Jammu national highway though vehicles are being allowed to ply after their proper checking.
However, no vehicle was being allowed towards Tral from Awantipora crossing. Naka has also been set up at Rajpora security force camp on main Tral- Awantipora road. The road has been closed with barbed wire and security forces were directing people, including those in vehicles, to go back, a local resident told UNI over phone from Awantipora. Similarly, other roads connecting Tral with other areas also remained closed, he said.
Though restrictions has been imposed in Tral and adjoining areas since Friday evening, repeated announcements were being made this morning again through public address system directing people to remain indoor as curfew has been imposed.
Hundreds of security forces and state police personnel could be seen patrolling deserted streets in the town, where people remained indoor in their houses.
There was no report of any violation of restrictions from any part of the town so far, official sources said. (UNI)
