Sleet
Form: Standard
Wingleader: S'lyn with bronze Chadath
Wingsecond: J'rad with bronze Arcaith
Character and Duties
S'lyn's wing has seen a fair amount of transfers lately as its new wingleader puts his stamp on it, but seems to be settling down. Camaraderie is a wing's most valuable asset in S'lyn's opinion, so his weyr is open to his riders in the evenings - whether or not he's there - as a gathering point outside work. It often sees a rotating handful of riders, mostly playing dragonpoker. Such get-togethers have worked wonders getting the riders comfortable around both each other and S'lyn, who can be a hard-ass during drills but becomes much more human when he's losing at cards. As a result, the wing is focused and attentive when they're working (if unaccustomed to acting without specific orders), but dissolves into jocular chit-chat as soon as their work's done.
Games
The wing excels most at events that can be rehearsed, such as formations, and after that at competitive sports like races, since they tend to do that among themselves anyway. Individual riders are left to their own devices to hone their skills, however, so those who aren't self-motivated do poorly in solo performance events like precision flaming. This is a full reverse from the way the old wingleader approached the games, but even the veterans' skills have deteriorated since he retired and they stopped practicing.
