When Rhysia caught wind of a scavenger hunt, she simply couldn't resist. A puzzle to solve! This could be exciting indeed.
And she even inherited a friend along the way. Along the way to the kitchens, where she had just gone earlier today to grab a bowl and some meat, her new friend decided to join her. She didn't know the name of the sky blue flitter, but he was young and somewhat speckled. He flew away a lot, so Rhysia finally guessed that he belonged to someone in the weyr. The little guy liked to follow her about lately, since this scavenger hunt started and she got into it.
The blue firelizard flew ahead of Rhysia and landed by some of the prepared food for the night. There were several dishes, but only one interested this Candidate and her peculiar hunt partner; the pies.
Get the clue
Find the knife
Eat some pie
Do not die
Catch on fast
Be not last!
After the last clues were posed, she wondered if she was taking this one a little too literally. Oh well; pie would still be in her future.
And Rhysia LOVED pie.
"Careful friend. I don't want you to get covered in pie filling. Yours won't like it so much," Rhysia whispered in warning to her flitter friend. The Blue gave a click in understanding before standing with his head tilted. "You can be the look out. I heard some places were booby trapped."
The Blue knew all too well. His mine and himself were caught in one before. He gave another light click as to not attract attention before flying and part-climbing his way to the top of the rack. Being as young as he was, flying was still not a perfected skill. And hovering as a little beyond him.
Rhysia slowly began to pick at the pies, searching carefully for the knife in the riddle.
