“At Telgar? Hm, I don’t believe so,” D’hys liked being in the know and staying a few steps ahead of everyone else as it made it easier to strategize in both survival and play time but he had yet to find any traces of forgotten family in the Telgar region. “I’m from Igen Weyr so I may still have some family in that area and possibly some more in the region that was beholden to Benden. But, it’s been so long and given I age much more slowly now, I’ve been hesitant to look closely.”
He gave a sad smile and looked away, feigning genuine distress over discussing such things with too much more detail. He actually did know that both of his sisters he had abandoned to insure Zeianth’s health were alive with families of their own. He also knew his dear little cousin was alive and well in Katila with that extended family doing all right in Benden Hold’s area. This girl, however, seemed like she would want to keep his secrets but would end up slipping up along the way and blabbing everything. He’d give her minor tidbits here and there to make her feel important but she didn’t need to know about a cousin that knew him but didn’t know they were related.
Coralaese also likely wouldn’t appreciate thinking too closely on the little fact he pointed out that he aged slower. The girl no doubt didn’t have any idea of what his true age was since he didn’t look much older than her and she had to be no older than twenty. Then again, at least in the Weyr, women seemed to enjoy the company of older men so finding out he was twice her age could be a turn on. Or she was so desperate for someone to want her that she didn’t care, especially if he was as hot as he was. D’hys barely contained an eye roll at how easy it was going to be to play her.
D’hys smiled as the waitress came over with the promised food and thanked her before she was off again to get some drinks for another table. He took a moment to inspect the food, giving it a pass for appearance and turned his smile onto Coralaese. “Well, here’s to finding out if we stay and enjoy the meal together or if I have to suddenly leave do to some made up reason or another,” his smile turned into a large grin to show he was joking around before taking the first bite. It was indeed rather enjoyable, certainly better than some of the meals that had been served in Katila and decided the tavern was quickly becoming a decent place to spend time in when in Telgar. “Look at that, those urgent plans no longer need my attention so I can stay and enjoy a nice meal with pleasant company.”
