Erisi was in a good mood. Valerian had kept him company for nearly the entire day before, and that had been some genuinely good fun. Erisi was always happier after a good lay, but it was rare for his mood to extend so far into the next day. If he really thought about it, he'd probably be disturbed that Valerian could coerce him into such an unusually pleasant demeanor. It implied far too many things that Erisi was not comfortable with, but as always Valerian seemed to slip under Erisi's radar. Valerian was laid back and unassuming, the sort of friend that was a perfect match for Erisi's more dominant attitude.
Charath was up to the same exact antics she had been the previous day. Her victim, however, was different. Later in the evening the poor Candidate she had been tormenting had finally cracked, and now that Charath had secured that victory she was moving on through the Candidate ranks. Earlier in the morning she managed to unnerve someone so much within the first hour that she decided to switch targets. Charath liked a challenge! So, in-between rendezvous with Valerian, she had singled out a new Candidate. Erisi figured it kept her busy while he walked the lakeside.
He had found some wherry eggs yesterday (some people were claiming them to be firelizards, and Erisi was amused by the various responses to that), but he wasn't necessarily looking for me. He did have to cart those things back home, and while they were tiny, he did not want an entire pile of eggs. Erisi assumed that someone at the Weyr would want them, mainly to raise wherries and produce more eggs. It was some silly beastcrafting stuff that Erisi had never been interested in. Too dirty. But, if he could get a fair trade out of them, then it'd be worth it. The poor man had no idea that they were duds. Again, he was not a beastcraft, for Faranth's sake. Valerian would likely get a good laugh out of it when his eggs finally did hatch, and Erisi's did not.
I am proud of you. Charath crooned in such a way that made Erisi doubt that she was.
'...Why?'
You spent all day yesterday with Valerian. I appreciate your effort to ensure that I get more time with him.
Of course.
