“Perhaps I will drop the title with time, my lord,” F’drel said, probably the closest to joking he would get with a lord around. He’d been keeping himself from saying snarky shit the entire meeting, but sometimes things got through the filter. And really, if Jalazmar meant it he’d probably take it well. Probably.
The idea of prolonging this conversation any longer was highly distasteful, and F’drel was shaking his head ‘no’ even before Jalazmar had finished asking if he had anything else to say. “No, my lord. From what they have told me and how they seem while visiting, they seem content. Your terms of services are more agreeable than the ones at Nabol, though those did improve with time as well, as Lord Jimeridan has never been as strict as his father. They think your wife is nice, from what I’ve heard.” He shrugged, really just wanting to be done with this. “That’s all, Lord Jalazmar.”
It never occurred to him, even with Jalazmar subtly suggesting it, to ask about any of them moving to the Weyr. Despite the fact they were getting wages now, he, and they, still had the mindset that they couldn’t really leave. Besides, since they were getting paid it was worthwhile to save up before leaving. If any of them had told him they wanted to move to they Weyr, F’drel would do his best to make it happen, but none of them had as of yet. They weren’t in Nabol anymore, so they were much safer. For now, though, it didn’t even cross F’drel’s mind.
