A'liran winced at the slap as well, for different reasons. "Fine, fine...I won't make you do anything too stupid, okay? I'll keep you out of that asshole, tyrant brownrider's sight." S'kef would never be Weyrleader, not to A'liran. Screw that guy mightily. He wouldn't acknowledge it, not even in passing. He flashed B'run a brief but reassuring smile, then rose to his feet.
"...Just call me, I guess. Have Olemuth call Ast or something, we don't have anything to do. We'll be around." He whistled, summoning Lump and Bastard to his side. They fluttered to his shoulders, though there was a mild disagreement over who would be taking the nearer shoulder. As usual, Bastard won. Lump grumpily reassigned himself to the other side and then started to tug at A'liran's earlobe for attention. The greenrider petted him for only a moment. "Damn needy thing," he grumbled.
Looking back to B'run, A'liran smiled almost sadly. It was a shame, to see the bronzerider back to tucking his tail, but that was the way of things around here. Maybe laying low for a while was essential to keep from burning out.
"Take care, okay?" he asked, nodding to the bronzerider before turning to walk away. These were trying times for all of them.
