The man was taking it better than he suspected though he did still have some spunk. R’nd was intrigued by the mysterious man already and chuckled softly, “you would be surprised at what I have had done to or around me to get my attention.” He had had a woman toss herself literally into his arms, items dropped in front of him to halt his stride, and fake incidents that would have him rushing over to offer assistance because he was still a decent man underneath his bed-hopping, so someone purposely tripping him so he would stop to talk to them wasn’t out of the realm of possibility. However, he believed this was entirely unintentional and simply the result of two men in their own worlds that got lucky it wasn’t anything worse or with someone else that would have thrown down the gloves and already demanded retribution for the slight.
“What are you doing out here at this… well, not entirely late hour? Have I stumbled upon you waiting for a secret lover?” Good luck with that! It was hard to keep anything a secret in the Weyr, especially if it was who won the latest flight, but the weyrfolk were far too bored given how often they gossiped but any and everything. It wouldn’t surprise the bluerider, though, for some to try escaping watchful eyes by coming to the forest or the lake and hoping no one else had the same idea. As he did another scan of the man, content in the knowledge his carelessness didn’t seem to have caused injury, the attire that had been chosen and lack of a blanket to make such a meeting more comfortable changed his mind rather quickly. The skin of wine also led R’nd to a new conclusion.
“Or perhaps you’re out here for the same reason I am. To get away for a while.” Sucked to be them both if that was case since they were now together. R’nd found he wasn’t in a hurry just yet to correct that either.
