Halomirth perked up when Zeianth reached out to her, uncurling from her post-oiling doze. Just us here, she told him cheerfully. It wasn’t unusual for Zeianth to confirm with her that she and F’drel had no guests - both he and his rider seemed to prefer to be their only visitors at a given time, for whatever reason. Halomirth didn’t mind. She was just glad she and F’drel were available (they usually were, but still!) when they wanted to stop by. She reached out to F’drel to let him know Zeianth and D’hys would be there in a few minutes, and stood up so she was in a better position to greet them.
Once the bluepair arrived Halomirth chirped a greeting back to D’hys - he was always very kind to her, and she liked him, even if her rider didn’t seem to be as fond of the bluerider - before happily twining herself around Zeianth. She hadn’t seen him properly in a little while and she missed him.
F’drel, for his part, had not missed D’hys in the slightest, unless you counted the feeling of slight apprehension he felt at not having heard from him in a bit and not knowing what he was up to as ‘missing,’ which F’drel didn’t. He was never entirely sure what to expect from any interaction with the bluerider, though he always expected it would make him uncomfortable.
The information that D’hys would be arriving momentarily was met with a sigh from F’drel. Because why should he get through the morning without being disturbed. Not the he was doing anything important, or that couldn’t be interrupted, but still. Dusting and polishing furniture was undoubtedly better than anything D’hys could be there for.
There was even more furniture for F’drel to polish now, though he still felt a little weird about it. R’dal had insisted on getting him a chair at the Gather, even though F’drel had said he had no need of one (it had been a Gather of gifts, apparently, as A’tay had given him a wall hanging of a beach scene the day after, which F’drel felt was a more reasonable gift than a chair, though he also felt a little weird about the reasons for that gift). Eventually F’drel had accepted that R’dal was going to get him a chair, rationalizing that it was really more R’dal’s chair - the bluerider thought F’drel’s weyr needed a chair more suitable for two people and therefore cuddles, and F’drel knew the chair would see the most use when R’dal was over, so it really was for his friend’s benefit, not his own. F’drel would admit the chair was comfortable - it was practically a nest in chair form - but so far he hadn’t really used it without R’dal there. Still felt a little weird to sit in it by himself. Lack of use didn’t mean it wouldn’t gather dust, however, so when F’drel wiped down his other furniture, he made sure to get the solid parts of the new chair as well.
At least he’d already gotten to all the furniture in the main room when he got Miri’s announcement of impending visitors, and F’drel reluctantly put away the cleaning rags. He’d just shut them away in the cabinet when D’hys entered the room, and F’drel sighed again, this time internally. F’drel just barely resisted rolling his eyes at D’hys’ greeting, and fixed a pleasantly bored expression on his face instead.
“D’hys,” he said mildly, “I thought it was all business.” There was certainly nothing for F’drel to be pleased about when D’hys was around, other than perhaps reassuring himself he was still in the man’s good graces. Which wasn’t really something to be pleased about either, it was just better than knowing the bluerider was actively out to make his life worse.
