"You know, I think you made a real connection with Lymsleia. There was a certain sparkle in her eyes, I couldn't tell if she was in love or if she was going to pass out." Erisi practically purred, every word dripping with a light taunting. How his friend had allowed himself to be coerced into dancing with Ly-slime-ah was something he did not even want to think about. Valerian was probably just a victim, but if Erisi had been in the same position he would have just turned the girl down instead of playing to her childish desires and need for attention. Thank Faranth he had Impressed Charath - it meant spending more time with other Weyrlings, and y'know, Ly-slime-ah wasn't one.
Maybe Larrikith would instruct me on how to properly prank a Candidate. Charath's voice cut into his head, mimicking the purr Erisi had in his voice. It was a rare occasion when Charath decided to try and pick on someone Erisi also disliked. They both hated the majority of the Weyr, but for some reason Charath never gave him the pleasure of playing tricks on someone he disliked as well.
The Harper-turned-Charath-babysitter came up behind Valerian, resting a hand on the back of his friend's chair before pulling another chair over so he could sit beside Valerian. He wasn't exactly dressed up for a party, and it was very likely that he had intended to make an appearance for all of five minutes before finding something better to do with his time. "Have you done her yet?" and then he wrinkled his nose in disgust. "No, I don't think you'd even dare to tread those waters." He'd probably think of Valerian more poorly if he ever had, but he doubted his friend even felt the slightest inclination to sleep with Lymsleia.
He didn't think Valerian cared enough to consider it.
Tell Val --
"Charath says Hi. And also says that you bathed Veeth yesterday but not her, and she's very offended by this."
That last part was a lie!
'Then tell him that yourself'.
The quiet that followed those words gave Erisi his answer. "I wanted to save you, really. I did. But I don't have big enough balls to brave through that storm."
