“I’m sure I can be convinced to make more evenings happen until your… curiosity… is sated,” K’tir drawled as he fell in step behind Ekshan. Given the younger man’s continued interest and how quickly he jumped at the chance to keep them talking, K’tir was convinced he had now found some plans for the night. He was still interested in seeing if some of his fellow dragonriders would make a scene and wind up horribly embarrassed the following day but that was a side note to what was becoming the main focal point.
A glance around the area that he had been led to showed it was indeed quieter but not so entirely cut off Ekshan’s reputation, whatever it may be, would be tarnished. For all intents and purposes, it would currently appear like he was only talking to a dragonrider and possibly keeping him out of trouble by doing so. “It’ll do; for now,” K’tir sat down on the bench and held out his hand until the bottle of wine was handed over. He took a moment to quietly refresh their glasses and set the bottle on the bench between them. “To new friends,” he toasted with a clink of his glass to Ekshan’s before tossing back half the contents. It was so good having excellent wine again! He managed with what they concocted in Katila, especially when their supplies they stole from the North dwindled, but now that they had constant access to proper wine once more, K’tir had no desire to go back.
“Now that you have me alone and the music isn’t quite as loud, what other questions do you have for me?” Both at the Hatching and now, the music and guests were loud and full of merriment which made it harder to discuss too much without talking just as loudly. K’tir was naturally soft spoken and hated having to raise his voice to begin with but Ekshan had been a cute face with natural enthusiasm that he had been willing to converse under such circumstances. Now, with the Harpers and their instruments more background noise than focal point, they could talk in a more relaxed manner and begin to truly understand what each other was after.
