I'shan giggled lightly as he trotted down the hallway, a smirk painted lightly across his face. It was late, and most of the Weyr was asleep. I'shan had left an empty wine bottle (or two) in his hut, discarded on his bedroom floor. Squee was with him, wrapped gingerly around his arm, bright eyes whirling in the darkness.
"He'll be here soon!" I'shan crooned to his pet, stroking the fire lizard as he wandered into the kitchens. There would be more wine here, right? Yes, yes there would. And R'nd would be there soon as well, assuming he'd gotten I'shan's message.
This might be the last time. I'shan wasn't sure yet. He wasn't sure if his talk with N'gelt would go well, or if his own willpower would hold out regardless. One way or another, though, I'shan wasn't ending his adventure on anything other than a high note. He knew he'd meet R'nd again in flight if nothing else, but shouldn't they have one last spectacular tumble? Shouldn't they go above and beyond and give each other an experience they'd never forget?
I'shan didn't think about tomorrow as he closed the door behind him, locking himself in one of the most secluded rooms. He set his candle down on the counter and immediately started digging for another bottle of wine. His mind was hazy, but he didn't care. Why think about tomorrow? He never thought about tomorrow. Tomorrow was filled with uncertainty, but he still had some control over today.
He found the perfect bottle and smirked. He quickly corked it and laughed as Squee stuck his nose towards it, sniffing the mouth of the bottle before cheeping in distaste. Ew!
I'shan laughed and gave the flitter a pat with one hand. "Suit yourself, little dude. More for me," the bluerider said as he leaned on the counter and took a long drink.
