Yfris listened with interest, smiling to himself as K'dar all but labelled himself a leader with the way he looked after his siblings. There was a leader hidden in the man, but it wasn't Yfris' goal to get him to Weyrleader--he just wanted him to have the ability to talk to and flirt with anyone he wanted. With the right person, the big and strong protector angle could work but that was a whole other lesson in teaching K'dar to know when to use that.
"Dancing, eh? Now that is something we can work with! The right lines for asking a lady to dance and what to say and do while holding her are all important facets for charming her." He would have to think about it further later on. So much of what he said and did just came out in the moment with little thought so coaching K'dar in his ways would be a challenge.
"As for your fishing, I, for one, do not know how to fish so not everyone knows. I suppose that was something many had to learn in Katila?" Yfris had been watching a ship just within his view out on the ocean and he pointed it out to K'dar. "The fishercraft Hall is nearby in Tillek but that's one of Misty Hold's boats. They go out when the sun rises and returns as it sets. Sometimes they go out further and for days at a time for a larger haul. I've never had to pick up a rod for even leisurely fishing though I have been told it's my level of activity with barely anything involved." Not that it sounded appealing, honestly. There was laziness and there was boredom. Fishing seemed like it would fall toward boredom.
"I think the best way to start building your ability to charm people out of pants and dresses is going to come from growing up in Katila." It was unknown to most yet the inhabitants were viewed as wild and uncultured. Playing that up would work on some and leave them intrigued. "Lightly teasing yourself for not knowing the ways of the Hold or Gather will be endearing to some. Mylorah has charmed quite a few with her naive ways. I assume that's been her tactic and not just having sex with everyone as an opener." Sure, he had slept with her not long after meeting her but that wasn't her opening line but something that naturally progressed during their time together.
"Perhaps we should get her to help with lessons. Do you know her?"
