T'gellan returns Harper Elgion to Half Circle Sea Hold after the harper was caught out during threadfall. Elgion is worried about Yanus will react since he was out looking for firelizard eggs, and T'gellan covers smooths things over for him.
Menolly was also caught out in the same threadfall that Elgion was and brought to Benden Weyr. When it is discovered that she has impressed nine firelizards, she tells them about another clutch at her cave. T'gellan takes Menolly to her cave and helps her find the clutch of fire lizard eggs. Later, he takes Menolly to see the latest hatching which includes Jaxom impressing Ruth and Brekke recovering from losing Wirenth.
