Sari was happy and grateful that she was able to be friendly with Terran's Weyrwoman.  The lovely brunette was a hard working and ambitious woman, and her industry showed in how quickly jobs were being accomplished in the weyr.<br/>Already many of the grain stores had been filled, and half of the spices as well.  But thoughts of the bounty of Western were not what was on Sari's mind at the moment.  She had come to let her weyrwoman know that the new song for the Terran dragonriders was finished.  Sari nodded to her weyrwoman and slipped into the seat across from her.  "Good morning, I hope this day has greeted you well."  Sari chirped, offering the days greeting with a warm smile.<br/>"I have a copy of a ballad for the Terran dragonriders for you WeyrWoman.  It might be useful in helping raise spirits"  Being a rider herself, Sari too felt the tension and anxiety of waiting for thread that failed to fall, which then brought the inevitable blues.  Sari  slides the hidebound ballad over to her WeyWoman.<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.45em;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: verdana;">OOC only the weyrwoman can "see" the ballad.</span></span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1em;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"> <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;">(sung to Ghost Riders in the Sky as sung by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFjqlx8eSfQ#normal  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFjqlx8eSfQ#normal)</span></span></span>[/]</span><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1em;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;">) <br/><br/></span></span></span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;">The Western dragons and their riders </span></span></span><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1em;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">the glory of the Weyr[/]</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">ride sentinal the guardians [/]</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">of all that we hold dear[/]</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">no pay will they be wanting[/]</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">to do the job they love[/]</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">to eradicate the horror[/]</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">that falls from up above[/]</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">　[/]</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">brave dragon rider, brave dragon rider...[/]</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">chosen to protect us, when thread begins to fall[/]</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 1.35em;">Brave dragon rider...
