H'nry watched them retreat to their dragons and take to the sky.  He had
seen enough of their conversation to know that it had something to do
with Trap.  H'nry inwardly cursed himself for not considering that when
he had paired Tera and Kay.  He knew that the two were friends, but Kay
held a deep dislike of Trap that could affect their working
relationship.

<I doubt it will,> Dalanth offered.

*And on what do you base that conclusion?*

<It's a gut feeling.>

*You've suddenly become a student of human nature able to predict
people's actions, I suppose.*

<No, I've always been a keen observer of humans,> Dalanth pointed out,
<You're all quite interesting and ammusing to watch.  I especially enjoy
you fretting over who is cuddling with who.  Dragons spend far less time
worring and far more time cuddling.>

H'nry laughed out loud, drawing looks from several around the green,
*Despite the fact that I think you're insulting my species, you have a
point.*

<It's big of you to admit it.>

H'nry looked up at the heights where Dalanth was basking in the warm sun
and shook his head, *You're just amazing.*

<I know,> Dalanth responded.

H'nry walked into the Med Center, and waved to Abbien as she approrached
him.

"Good day, H'nry," she greeted him cheerfully.

"You're in an awful good mood today," he said.

"I suppose I am," she replied.

H'nry walked past her and halfway down the hall before stopping to knock
on a door.

"Come in!"

He opened the door and Thomas watched him as he entered and pulled a
seat over next to the bed.  "Hello H'nry.  Visiting the walking
wounded?"

"Have they let you out of bed yet?"

"No," Thomas said thoughtfully, "I guess I'm not even walking wounded."

H'nry laughed, "At least you still have your sense of humor.  I just
wanted to stop in and tell you about some transfers that were made to
Alpha wing."  H'nry filled his wing second in on the changes before
leaving the room to head back to his office.

NRPG:
Not much of a post, but it's been a while since my last.  Feel free to
have characters run into H'nry in the Med Center or on his way to his
office.
