DAY 3

Late Morning



<SNIP From James's Post>



Tel'Thar knocked at the door to Merissa's office and walked in.  "M'lady."

said Tel'Thar bowing his head. Slightly taken a back at the sight of

Merissa, a very different sight from Waylene the former Warrenlady of

Marrid.



"Tel'Thar isn't it? Please take a seat."



"Thank you."



"Now what can I do for you?"



"Well I am feeling much better, and should be back to full health in a

couple of days."



"And you wish to return to Marrid." said Merissa finishing off Tel's

sentence. "We will of course supply you with medical equipment and

provisions."



"I'm sorry M'lady, I was going to ask if I could stay on."



"Oh, I'm sorry. How long for?"



"Indefinitely."



"Well if you want to stay I can't see that as being a problem. What position

did you have at Marrid?"



"I was wing second M'lady."



"Oh really, how long for?"



"8 years M'lady."

<END SNIP>



Merissa's eyes lit up.  Her wingleaders didn't have nearly that much

experience... and the way that Derry was acting lately, she wasn't sure that

he was still fit for duty.  Katla was obviously more concerned over Kanler's

well-being than that of the warren, and Merissa couldn't necessarily find

fault with that, but it did leave a big hole where the leadership of Alpha

Wing should be.  She would need to discuss this with them and the Beta

Wingleaders, but she felt confident in what she said next.



"Tel'thar, give me a few days, and I may have just the position for you.

For now, get to know the warren and her people.  Find yourself some quarters

and talk to our quartermaster, Pav'lo, if you have any special needs."

Merissa smiled, "And, welcome to Whiteriver, Tel'thar, you are an answer to

prayers."
