740.07.17 | Open Invitation - R'vi - 18.Jul.19
It was mid-afternoon when R’vi made it to the Gather in Telgar. While he loved parties and mingling, he also enjoyed sleeping in when he could and also had to admit, Gathers too early in the day meant the fun later into the Gather was much later. If he showed up when it was already well into the swing of things, he could still enjoy the food and do a little shopping if it struck him, but the dancing and drinking and socializing of the event really took off the closer the sun got to the horizon. That was more his style.
He had also made sure to check in with Casa one final time before going to make sure she didn’t want his company. It sucked that Thallyath Flew when she did and didn’t seem to like the idea of Casa riding on any other dragon. The poor girl was born to socialise like he was and she had to stay at the rather dead Weyr because even the Weyrlings that were old enough were allowed to get out for the day. She waved him off, however, and said R’dare might stop in later to help her with some homework and that was enough to scare him away. Being a goldrider sucked! R’vi was beyond thrilled he got the blue and his brother got bronze if a shiny dragon meant more studying and work.
As he wandered around with a mug of sweet mead, R’vi spotted some of Ista’s Weyrlings which he dutifully checked up on, extending his assistance in all areas as he often did. Usually it went towards the older Candidates but Weyrlings close to graduation sometimes needed an extra hand and he was happy to oblige. He also found some of Telgar’s Weyrlings and marvelled over how well the humans were shaping up and enjoyed listening to some of the adventures both rider and dragon had been getting into. He also promised to make a visit to the Weyr in the coming days to further check up on them all but Indivara was their Weyrlingmaster so he knew they were in excellent hands.
When he walked by the dance square, R’vi found himself being pulled in for a dance by Mylorah where he let his hands wander a bit thanks to the silent invitation in her eyes. He knew the Leaders of each Weyr were around and even if they weren’t, they had enough loyal subjects to report any misbehaviour. He hated the ‘behave yourself’ rules they were all reminded of every time a Gather came around but R’vi did his best to obey, at least while in the direct public areas. Still, he gave Mylorah a few lingering kisses with an invitation for them to get together sometime soon.
Then he was off—or she was, it was hard to say when two flirty individuals that had wandering eyes were surrounded by new and interesting people. It didn’t matter to R’vi as he headed back to the vendor that had the amazing mead so he could purchase another one and double taking as he saw B’jin hanging off of D’hys’ arm as he went. What the heck? That wasn’t something he expected to see, though he didn’t entirely blame B’jin knowing what he did about D’hys’ skills in the bedroom. But where did that leave R’nd? That wasn’t his mystery to figure out that evening and R’vi went back to getting his drink as he looked around for someone else he knew or wanted to get to know.
RE: 740.07.17 | Open Invitation - L'gan - 21.Jul.19
L’gan and Sariel parted ways for a while as she wanted to keep dancing and he was dying of thirst. While he wanted to keep his wits about him, mindful of the expectations of not just Weyr but Hall, he always enjoyed Gathers as a chance to try new vintages or new drinks entirely. With that in mind, he sought out a mead vendor he’d been hearing good things about. His eyes--and head--followed D’hys and B’jin, puzzling over what was happening there, and he almost walked into someone.
L’gan was in the middle of apologizing when he got a look at the other man’s face and his mind blanked--where did he know him from? Clearly a rider, but which Weyr? Had he tended the man at some point? Without the man’s dragon there to spark his memory it was a lost cause, especially with this many people around and in an unfamiliar space. He shook his head slightly and smiled. “Sorry about that. You didn’t spill anything, did you? Can I buy you another to make up for my inattention?” He ordered a simple spiced mead for himself and counted out the marks the vendor stated.
“Sorry again,” he said as they stepped aside to let others up to the vendor, taking a cautious sip of the sweet drink. He’d need to sip slowly on this one; it was quite potent and the sweetness was deceptive, making him crave more immediately. “I’m usually better coordinated; my Semath was always the clutz, though she’s grown out of that, thank Faranth. I’d blame the drink, but this is only my second,” L’gan added with a laugh.
RE: 740.07.17 | Open Invitation - R'vi - 21.Jul.19
R’vi wouldn’t have noticed almost being run into if the man hadn’t apologised for it. Since they hadn’t actually collided and he also hadn’t been looking. “Nah, not a drop wasted, so nothing to worry about!” That was kind of him to offer a replacement, though, despite everything being fine. He almost took him up on it all the same just for a free drink but he wasn’t looking to get drunk and had enough marks to buy another if he really wanted it.
Stepping aside as more people came up for drinks, R’vi finally took a moment to check out the other man. He looked familiar but a name wasn’t coming to him, until Semath was brought up. Right! That’s where he knew him from! Semath had Flown recently in Ista despite being from Fort now and Vydoriath felt the need to give chase. Not that R’vi minded as he loved Flights win or lose. Now that he had names and faces aligning again, R’vi recalled his name was L’gan and they had a bit of a history together, though nothing too recent which was now bumming him out.
“So how’ve you been, L’gan? It’s been quite a while, my sexy Healer,” R’vi grinned at his subtle reminder of how they knew each other, hoping the now-greenrider remembered the night together back before his accidental Impression. R’vi wasn’t sure why they hadn’t kept in touch more since that had been a wild night but blamed it on weyrlinghood and L’gan’s chance to get back into Healer Hall. Had to love a man that knew what he wanted, he supposed.
RE: 740.07.17 | Open Invitation - L'gan - 22.Jul.19
L’gan choked on his drink as that greeting and voice finally clicked in his head. Thankfully he managed to avoid any spills or damage to his new shirt, and he caught his breath soon enough after a thump or two on the back, waving off others and moving away with the other man from the small scene he had inadvertently caused. “R’vi.” He couldn’t tell, but he felt like his ears were red. At least the red face could be put down to the coughing fit. “It’s good to see you as well. It has been too long, Bluerider.”
“We’ve been settling in well at Fort and the Hall, though I guess Semath still prefers Ista blues. Vydoriath chased, didn’t he?” L’gan knew damn well the blue had, now that he’d figured out who he was speaking with. “Shame he didn’t catch her, or we could have had some real fun,” he teased with a flirtatious smirk. He knew why the rules were in place, but damn weyrlinghood for robbing him of more flirtations and romps with R’vi. The memories of that other night were starting to flood back too, and it had been quite a lot of fun.
He took another, more judicious sip of his drink. “And how have you fared? Still chasing impressionable young healers to corrupt? Or have you given up the chasing in your maturity?”
RE: 740.07.17 | Open Invitation - R'vi - 23.Jul.19
R’vi grinned at L’gan after the greenrider had recovered from his shock and seemed to recognise him—and recall their night together. R’vi couldn’t always remember a name but he did always remember a good time and was pleased that it seemed to be mutual. He only nodded when the Flight was brought up, not feeling the need to elaborate since they had lost, though he did like the way L’gan seemed a bit sad at that. From what he had heard, however, Z’rin winning hadn’t been a complete loss as the pair hadn’t emerged from the room for quite some time after everything had quieted down again.
“Maturity? Who’s spreading such vicious lies about me?” R’vi grabbed at his chest, exaggerating his shock and hurt at such words. He really wasn’t mature despite his age approaching thirty and lived the most carefree life he could manage. There was nothing mature about how he behaved, as Tala would likely point out given how he was around their daughter.
“I’m still all about the corrupting, my dear Healer, though it’s not limited to your profession. Healers, candidates, blueriders, goldriders, greenriders… no one is safe from me,” R’vi chugged back the rest of his drink and set the empty mug on a table a few steps away from them before returning to L’gan with an easy smile that hid his intentions.
He stepped right up to L’gan and stopped when the toes of his boots met another pair. He was tempted to pull the greenrider to him with a yank at the waistline of fairly nice pants but R’vi was showing a glimpse of some maturity after all and refraining as he followed the rules that seemed to be becoming more of a game to the Weyrfolk as the day wore on.
“And we don’t need to have a Flight to have real fun, L’gan. Come by my weyr tonight if you need a reminder,” giving in, R’vi brushed the back of his head down L’gan’s cheek in a light caress as the start of the reminding. Nothing about their night together had been gentle and sweet but it still reintroduced his touch and R’vi was confident it would be enough to leave the greenrider craving more.
RE: 740.07.17 | Open Invitation - L'gan - 23.Jul.19
He hadn’t been anything but thrilled with the outcome of the flight, but if you couldn’t tease a bluerider what was even the point? He laughed brightly at the overwrought feigned shock. No maturity there, that’s for sure. “True, true, you’ve caught my lie. I don’t think you’re ever going to mature. In fact, I hope not; it keeps life more interesting with some dramatics.”
L’gan smirked, not fooled for a minute by his nonchalant attitude. Even if these Holders hadn’t, he’d seen R’vi’s flirtation in action before. He did his best to keep a straight face but his eyes were pure mischievous amusement. “I notice you don’t list browns or bronzes, let alone harpers or holders. Too much of a challenge for you?” He arched a brow in mock challenge.
He hummed thoughtfully at the proposition. “Tempting…” he caught the hand and moved it back down to R’vi’s side. “But I am actually here with someone, Bluerider. What if she has something to say about your offer of a reminder?” He didn’t think Bell would mind at all, honestly, but he was enjoying baiting the other man. It gave him something to focus on other than the crush of strangers at the gather.
RE: 740.07.17 | Open Invitation - R'vi - 23.Jul.19
R’vi turned his caught hand back around on L’gan’s to keep any form of contact going and gently stroked his thumb back and forth along the smooth inner wrist. “You are tempting,” he countered, purposely switching the meaning around. He knew L’gan was trying to get out of the proposition by pointing out he was with someone but really, all he did was tempt R’vi all the more.
“She is welcome to join us as well. A reminder for you and a taste for her,” R’vi had been into group sex for a good decade; suddenly having someone else tossed into the mix when he was hitting on someone didn’t throw him off his game one bit. In fact, he almost preferred group sex given how he quite liked watching others as he pleasured himself before joining in. There was also a lot more skin to enjoy with more naked bodies writhing around together.
“But, if that’s too much for you, you can always come by in the morning. I do love being woken up by a hot man slinking into my bed.” He was such a good guy for offering choices.
RE: 740.07.17 | Open Invitation - L'gan - 23.Jul.19
L’gan shivered slightly despite the heat of the night at the amended offer and light brush of fingers over sensitive skin. He smiled languidly but pulled back before they drew too much attention or he did something rash. “I’m not the one who needs convincing, R’vi.” He took another, longer drink of mead, the honey overly sweet on his tongue.
He handed the cup to R’vi as he spotted Sariel headed in their direction, turning to get her a drink. “Sure I can’t get you anything?” L’gan offered again with an easy smile.
When she joined them he handed her a cup and retrieved his own, slipping an arm around her casually. “Sariel, Bluerider R’vi of Vydoriath, from Ista. R’vi, Sariel- Apprentice Healer.” He leaned down and murmured in her ear. “R’vi has a rather scandalous proposition for us, Bell. But I’ll follow your lead. Tonight’s for you, after all.”
RE: 740.07.17 | Open Invitation - Sariel - 25.Jul.19
"Scandalous? Ooh," she murmured back, her eyebrows waggling, and her eyes nearly dancing with the very idea as she greeted the bluerider warmly. She grinned before taking a sip from her cup. This was definitely going to be interesting at the very least. And probably a great deal of fun as well. R'vi was handsome, not that it was a requirement, but it was a bonus. Her eyebrows arched.
"What sort of scandalous are we talking, here?" In her experience, there were a vast amount of things that could fall under that particular classification. Most often they were things sex-related because Holders were notoriously prudish and anything beyond a hug, a kiss to the cheek, and maybe a chaste lip kiss at the most, was considered unnatural or for lack of better words, scandalous. The laughter gathering in her eyes danced and the corners of her eyes curved.
RE: 740.07.17 | Open Invitation - R'vi - 25.Jul.19
R'vi was rather impressed by L'gan keeping his cool for as long as he had and not discouraging a threesome but inviting his lady friend over. She was petite and soft-spoken, instantly charming R'vi while also reminding him a bit of Indivara--the stature at least. Indivara was anything but quiet but the vague similarities of being short and having hair... okay they had different hair colours as well but it was still easy enough to squint and pretend if he was really into using the poor girl while thinking of someone else. Good thing he had moved on from that infatuation a while ago!
He gave his best charming smile as L'gan prepped her for what a bluerider could possibly want with her before grinning rather devilishly at her. "Let me tell you," R'vi leaned down, keeping his hands to himself but let his mouth roam rather close to an ear to share what he had in mind for the night, "I want to take you both home for a fun night of group s-e-x," he purred the words and spelled out the sinful act for dramatic effect. He wasn't one to beat around the bush or blush at any sort of act but it was kind of fun playing with the adorable pair of Healers.
Stepping back, R'vi continued to smile, once again sweetly as if he hadn't just propositioned them for group sex upon just learning the girl's name. He'd gone on less before--L'gan was the perfect example of that--and no doubt would again in the future. Knowing each other's names up front would help with calling out the right name during climax, though.
RE: 740.07.17 | Open Invitation - L'gan - 25.Jul.19
He kissed her cheek, smiling at her enthusiasm to learn more. L’gan’s hand traced up and down her spine as R’vi explained what he wanted, feeling her lower back tense in surprised pleasure as his words sank in.”He’s not just a pretty face, either,” he added with a smirk at R’vi. “He actually has some idea what he’s doing. Though his grasp on anatomy isn’t quite on par with yours,” the teasing taunt was delivered with laughing eyes, hoping it would stick for later. R’vi would get him back for that one, and he looked forward to it.
He took a deliberate sip of his drink, considering options. On one hand, his entire body felt flush, inspired by the eagerness with which Sariel agreed. On the other, teasing R’vi was half the fun. And they had all night.
“I think I need at least one more dance. Bell, how about you?” He kissed the part of her hair to hide a smile. “After all, the night is still so young. I couldn’t possibly leave just yet.” He handed R’vi the remainder of his drink. “We’ll see you again soon, Bluerider. It’s been delightful catching up again. I can’t wait to continue our conversation into the early hours of the morning… “
