T’ryn froze when Casa suddenly sat up and nearly knocked heads with him. His eyes went wide at her close proximity and let out the breath he had been holding when she leaned back. He shot a look at his dragon, deciding his rapid heartbeat was a combination of worry over the goldrider and the residual lust from Syrendryth. That has nothing to do with me now that we’re out in the fresh air and away from her pheromones.
Do you always have to be so practical?
Yes.
T’ryn let go of the impending argument and turned a relieved smile on Casa when he heard she was fine and why they had chosen to go to Benden. He knew goldriders had to leave when another took to the sky but he had never really thought about where they would go. It made sense to go to one of the empty Weyrs to ensure maximum space was provided. What if they chose a nearby Hold and that still wasn’t far enough away to appease the gold in her Flight? He nodded his agreement that Katila was probably the best choice, especially since retired dragonriders were there and would know what to do in case of an emergency and to simply entertain the currently exiled golden pairs.
“Eh?” Once more blue eyes went wide as the questioning was turned back around on him. He rocked back on his heels until his butt connected heavily with the ground. As he crossed his legs under him, T’ryn still didn’t know the best way to answer that question and rubbed at the back of his neck even as a faint blush rose in his cheeks. “Well… yes, he did but,” he glanced again at Syrendryth, looking for some assistance but his dragon simply sat primly, taking in the ladies and almost daring them to say something negative about their choices.
“Oh, all right. It would have been our first Flight and we came to the decision it would be better to leave than to partake and my aunt lives in this region but it’s too early to visit and I’ve wanted to see Benden Weyr and well… yeah,” T’ryn realized he was starting to ramble thanks to how flustered he suddenly was. With any luck, Casa would latch onto that instead of figuring out that he was still a virgin. He still readied himself for a burst of giggles at his expense though.
