At night on the second day of the twelfth month in the third turn, Auree is working on a piece for the Caucus celebration in the Weyr Crafthall. She is not expecting compnay, but gets a visit from Jarvais, regardless. They have some unfinished business to discuss.

( It is not very good snooping if you announce it )

Auree receives a letter from Jarvais. On the seventh day of the eleventh month of the third turn, she writes her reply.

( You have heard such news... )

In the midmorning of the twenty third day of the second month in the third turn, Auree meets Jessa in the Caucus Barracks. Jessa puts clothing away while Auree avoids doing homework. They find they have a common woe.

On the tenth day of the second month in the third turn, Auree runs into Penny in the Caucus Barracks. The two girls know each other from the Smithhall, and the relationship established there is quickly picked up again.

( Alas, I don't have a record of every birthmark in the Weyr )

On the seventh day of the second month in the third turn, Auree does some work, of a sort, in the Craft Hall. Being a crafter, she has every right to be there. Reyce, who is not a crafter but would like some quiet study space, does not approve or her antics. These two are clearly on their way to a fine and lasting friendship.

( Then you have your answer. )

On the fourth day in the first month of the third turn, very late at night, Auree arrives at Caucus. She meets Reyce, Ronan and Neiran, and has a brief reunion with her childhood friend Jarvais. Sadly, Laelle departs before Auree arrives. All of this happens in the Caucus Barracks. Everyone should probably be asleep.

( Lovely Names. Terrible Guesses. )
