Despite living in Ista, Orgailian was not a fan of the current heatwave blasting through Benden. It reminded him too much of Katila and what he felt was better left behind in that place. Most memories could stay there with the humidity. Maybe he wouldn’t have minded so much if the rain that seemed to fall for several days before breaking or a surprise shower out of nowhere weren’t happening. How could he enjoy the weather and sit outside with a notebook with that crap? But to be fair, it did inspire him at the same time and he’d sit just inside where he could watch and listen to the rain fall while he jotted down the emotions it invoked and try to write out scenes that came to mind.
It also helped distract him from the loss of Je’ler and R’dare’s dad. Both were good men and he knew what R’dare was going through, having lost his mom to the landslide. Perhaps the darker mood was why he started to like the rainy days more than the sunny ones by the time the Hatching came along. But it hadn’t been all brooding with the rain. Orgailian still spent time poking through Benden’s collection of books and helping Zelana find the type of healing that interested her. Getting his hands on some of those books was a distraction in itself. Healer Rhamnus proved to be helpful with some strings that Orgailian hadn’t really hesitated to tug on and then all of the time spent alone together with just books finally led to a hook up with Zelana.
He probably should have felt some level of guilt for that second hook up but he didn’t. Not even when he finally strolled into the Hatching Grounds and spotted A’tay in the stands. Most people knew the relationship was open and perhaps it was weird that he had slept with his brother’s girlfriend but he still lacked the guilt. He spotted his other siblings already standing together, with Zelana, and figured he’d join them. Mylorah couldn’t look after both of them on her own, although Zoremet looked fresh and excited. That brought a smile to his face as Orgailian slid up beside him and rested his arm on his brother’s shoulder. “Glad this weather agrees with one of us,” he commented even as his gaze swept over the water stations. He could tell this Hatching was going to suck as he was already sweating in the oppressive heat.
