S'kef wasn't quite sure what to make of Arddra's approach. She was seriously returning to him, after being so skittish last time? Either the girl couldn't make up her mind, or she had something pressing to say. Either way, S'kef could only imagine what it would be. He was generally quick to dismiss females, especially mousy and quiet ones, but he also knew that the invisible resident of the Weyr sometimes managed to see and hear things that others might not. People were more loose-lipped and less guarded around the small. That was part of what made greenriders so useful, at least the ones that had half a brain in their heads.
There was a chance this girl might have something to offer, even if it was small. He liked to hope so, at least...he was going to be endlessly aggravated if the little brat was wasting his time. He was aggravated by her choice of words. She was approaching him like a schoolteacher marking a project, but while that was annoying, it was at least harmless.
He responded with a nod. "I can spare a few minutes," he said, watching her reaction closely as he waited to hear what she had to say. If this brat is wasting my time...
Tyrrisath shrugged.Sometimes, the small details are what matter he replied, though he didn't sound any more certain than S'kef was. The dragon had a point, though. One never knew where useful information might appear, but it didn't change S'kef's attitude much. He had a million more important things to be doing. He just needed to remind himself to maintain appearances.
He had to restrain himself from smirking, too. He hadn't missed that moment of tension when he opened the door. Times changed, but S'kef still got that same little tingle of delight when he saw fear wash over someone's face. Fear let him know that he was still in control, and that was a lovely, lovely place to be.
