I appreciate that. I hope to be able to help lots of people over my career.

Even if this specific person is as aggressively uninteresting as possible, Benden Weyr is still going to make a hole through the stone wall to gain access to Milliways, and Verlan is still going to hold the door open until then, minus any time he has to spend sleeping or to let Bella out if she wants to leave.

She's not in a hurry! She can hang out chatting with Bar and being available if they have more therapy cases!

In that case, a blue dragon will eventually contact her about his rider being constantly miserable.

If your rider would like to talk to me I can probably triangulate them off your mind but it'll be tricky to do much work at a distance.

I could tell you about his problems now so we know if it's worth him going down into the Lower Caverns to find you when the hole is big enough?

Is he okay with you doing that?

All right, if you think it'll help, the rider says tiredly. Bella can hear the echo of this through the dragon.

I don't know if I'll be able to help. I don't have a lot of experience. But there might be something relatively obvious I could do.
