The image of his brother being eaten by a fat green dragon was somewhat enjoyable and he cracked another smile but even if Larrikith did suddenly turn into a man-eater, R'nd knew he couldn't let that happen and shook his head in the negative. "We're supposed to be getting Holders to like dragonriders again, not scaring them away." Considering his home was in the Benden region and they might yet one day open that Weyr, they needed to keep Benden just as happy as they did Fort, Telgar, and Ista.
"It's fine, really. I love the people of that Hold but I never truly fit in anyway. Being Searched saved me from a miserable life and being ostracized a lot earlier in life." Given what he knew now, R'nd supposed the man that raised him would have eventually tired of his lack of enthusiasm and dedicated to the seacraft and tossed him out in his teens or married him off to some random Hold far from him. He owed R'jit so much and even Ayyonth deserved some of the love despite his attitude and enjoyment of teasing his rider.I do it because I care, Ayyonth announced from where he was still sprawled on his ledge, soaking up the last rays of fading daylight.R'nd, as usual, ignored him.
"I still have Rell," at the mention of his sister's nickname, the little blue firelizard that inherited her name appeared and landed on R'nd's knee. Rell had tried to console him earlier but R'nd had sent him off to play as he wanted to be alone, though he only went so far as the bedroom. Hearing his name, the flitter couldn't help but take it as an invitation to come back and R'nd gave in to petting the creature with a chuckle. "Both Rells. My sister wants to speak to you, by the way. She has a proposition or some such thing for you but she said it can wait until we're up to being social." He had no idea what Eridella wanted and while he was intrigued, R'nd still wasn't in a hurry to go see her again. He needed time to adjust to everything he learned.
