Well, that answered his question. Hesitating before talking about his ‘sister’ his parents were trying to marry off? Yeah, that’s at least part of what had Caz dressing as a man and coming to the Weyr. Definitely. Nerreh couldn’t blame the guy (girl?) for not wanting to be forced into some weird controlling relationship like Holder marriage was. No thanks.
“That sounds like fucking bullshit.” Nerreh said flatly. “I’m not gonna say the Weyrs are perfect about relationships, cause they aren’t, but it’s better. Like, women are still expected to have babies most of the time, but they don’t have to have anything to do with with the father, and you don’t have to be with someone to make your family happy.” He shook his head. Holders, man. Did people need dragons around to have common sense?
But then Caz asked the next question, and Nerreh laughed. “Yeah, fair enough. Some of the rumors are pretty fucking absurd. Orgies isn’t one of those, that does happen. Probably differently than the rumors describe, since I bet Holders describe Flights as orgies. Which isn’t really the case with Flights, but there you are. Half true rumor, then. Now, got any other rumors you’re dying to know the truth of?” Nerreh asked with a devious grin.
