BOND
Obued followed her mistress out into the Weyr. She wore a shawl that covered most of her face and though her appearance was unusual, few people looked her way. Her mistress however was an attention magnet. She hollered, she demanded and she got her way. Used to being obeyed, she had a will of iron and the confidence of one raised in privilege.
Today they were here to witness the hatching ceremony. Another attendant had been scheduled to accompagny the mistress but she'd fallen ill and her mistress had insisted that Obued take over. Pern was not used to off-world species of humanoids. So in truth, Obued should not have been chosen. But her mistress was used to a certain standard and Pern was not used to providing it.
When in their rooms, Obued immediately started prepping for tea as well as their stay. She cleaned, she unpacked and she made certain her mistress would feel at home. All while erasing everything that would hint at her presence in these rooms. Servants were to be invisible when working and should only appear when called for. And then they should be fast.
Still, Obued was excited to be at White River Weyr. And later she would be present at the hatching. Dragons! Just the thought made her jubilant. Obued hurried but still did her tasks perfectly. She'd just finished when her mistress emerged from the bathroom. Before she could speak, a summons was sent.
"It appears we better hurry down. Come Obued."
Obued donned the shawl that was her disguise and then fell into step behind her mistress, fading once more in the shadows of the nobel lady.

At the Hatching Sands, the eggs were wobbling and a lot of people were already present and chatting. Obued followed her mistress and took a seat behind her, elated that they had front row seats to the spectacle. It almost felt like she'd be able to touch the dragons.
A hushed silence settled over the crowd when the first dragon pierced their shell. Soon more followed and one by one the bright and colourful hatchlings stepped onto the sands, looking for the ones that would bond with them. Some were timid, others already carried themselves like royalty. Like the white one with the multitude of colours splattered all over her body. There was one colour that stood out to Obued and that was the bright red from her wings.
"It's normal to revere my wings." the hatchling seemed to reply as she sought eye contact.
Startled, Obued realised that she had indeed heard a voice.
"I am Neitith and I was talking to you, yes."

FLIGHT
Neitith dazzled the world. She always did. She was no longer bound to Pern, having traveled to other worlds with Obued and her mistress. After a while it had become clear that a life of service would no longer be an option with a dragon in tow so Obued had been -reluctantly- let go by her mistress.
But there was one thing that Neitith still found annoying about her bond. She remained in the shadows, always walking behind Neitith, always blending with the background. When Obued was wonderful! She should be proud! She should be loved.
"I want to show you to the Nexus." Neitith let slip.
"It's you they should see." Obued retorted, "What did you have in mind?"
"A mating flight."
And Neitith would make certain to interview the applicant's bonds prior to the flight too.
