“I believe you are the first strange man to meet my parents. I don’t usually bring random women home either. In fact, I may have slightly exaggerated earlier about my reputations. Well, not the rumoured ones which are closer to the truth than not but what my parents are aware of. I don’t exactly flaunt my enjoyment of a man’s company. I believe that they believe I’m just very into drinking with friends, perhaps card games, and sleeping with women.” That was all true but he was also sleeping with some of his male friends. His parents never questioned too deeply his little private parties he threw at random and Yfris hoped to keep it that way.
“Why would we need more than one fork?” Yfris looked at K’dar like he had grown a second head. It didn’t sound like it was a Weyr thing but perhaps that was one of the things weyrfolk believed of holders? What odd fellows! He really did have to pin K’dar down—in more ways than one—soon and learn more. At least that portion of the story for his father was true—he truly was interested in the mysterious Katila and the ways of the jungle dwellers and now the Weyrs. Entirely different worlds to what he had always known.
“I’m sure you’ll be peppered with questions throughout the meal when they aren’t boring us with Hold talk. My sister is visiting so she’s likely to be more interested in us than whatever father and Allondan discuss.” He was thankful to have Ristal and K’dar at this dinner. It would save him from his eyes glazing over as they went over the day’s work and any issues encountered. “And as long as you don’t mention how much you love me fucking you, you should avoid being banned and chased off.”
A glance at the sky showed the time was slipping by on them and Yfris sighed as he got to his feet. “We should start back or you’ll be included in another family tradition—lecturing me on responsibility.”
