I was just getting ready to reply that I ordered the Wrede books this afternoon, kind of a Christmas/Birthday present to myself.

Steve as an Oldtimer who had to leave holder girl Peggy behind -- perfect fit. Maybe he just impressed or is just beginning his training. This particular wing could then also be one of F'lar's new ideas -- and to keep it on the lowdown from the Oldtimers, they aren't set up in a Weyr, but rather a Hold -- Fury's Hold? Then Maria wouldn't necessarily need to be a rider. And Fury's helping F'lar and Robinton with garnering information on the Oldtimers so part of the wing's responsibilies include some spying?

I promise to feed him and water him and take him for walks and clean up after him and play with him. Please can we keep him?
