"I don't know, didn't look," Kerrin answered honestly when R'nd questioned him regarding his punishment, hardly pausing in his dutiful scrubbing of the moisture from his hair. His flippant tone suggested total disinterest in the punishment itself, but the bluerider likely knew the boy well enough to know it was more accurate to say that Kerrin just didn't want to know all of the sordid details of the torture that G'rem had dreamed up, and it was saving the sullen weyrbrat a great deal of face to pretend that he simply didn't care. "Something about the kitchens, I guess. It was on a note."
Actually, come to think of it, the note was probably completely illegible now that it had been thoroughly dunked in the lake along with the rest of his person. Perhaps he'd found a loophole, after all! ... at least until G'rem found out at rewrote it. Probably with an extra dash of horrible for his carelessness. But whatever, because that problem was so five minutes ago. Kerrin shot the older man a sour look when R'nd proved insistent at poking around in his brain for the cause of his irritation. That sour look that proved hard to maintain, however, when he caught out of the corner of his vision Ayyonth's dive into the water, apparently timed just to spite his snarling rider. It took all of Kerrin's available composure to suppress his snicker as his friend's frown deepened at the sound of the splashing behind him. Shells, did he ever love that dragon!
Tearing his eyes away from the blue and quickly wiping away whatever smirk might have formed on his lips as he'd watched the dragon's antics, Kerrin sniffed in unabashed disdain in the bluerider's direction. "Maybe because you've never acted so much like a lovestruck virgin girl after one of your flights before?"
