He was probably on his way to getting a kink in his neck. Still, Valerian made no movement to correct that and the fire lizards curled up on him did the same.

Vex had claimed his lap as soon as he sat down, back against the famous tree he shared with Erisi that was within sight of the Weyr but just far enough away that it wouldn't attract constant foot traffic. His grumpy blue nabbed the prime location that always earned lazy petting while Valerian day dreamed while Quill seemed to pout and took to the left shoulder. His tail wrapped around Valerian's neck from back to front which made for an awkward way of holding his head, especially when the weyrling came up with the idea to use the quieter blue as a pillow. Neck slightly bent forward and to the left, he was certain he would regret it later and have to do some light rotations and stretches to not feel that pain all day.

But it was worth it for a quiet nap away from the hustle and bustle of the weyr. Veeth wasn't with them, he never ventured to the tree since his growth spurt brought him to fullsize since there were a few tightly packed trees along the way. Besides, the chipper little fellow liked to be out in the sun and socialising so he often went off to find or make friends. It was strange, but back when B'jin said he didn't do everything with Larrikith and still had time for himself, Valerian wasn't sure he believed the greenrider entirely. Maybe they had their own time but surely it wasn't the same anymore. During the first several months after Impressing, the thoughts turned to wondering how he could ever imagine being apart from Veeth. Now, they had both grown into the bond and understood each other and their needs far better. Valerian also didn't worry as much about the influence Larrikith and some of the other playful dragons had on Veeth anymore.

With one hand lightly brushing over Vex and the stresses of the day being forgotten, Valerian felt ready for that nap he craved and shut his eyes.


I'm putting it in the forest for now but if the thread moves as intended, the location will likely change at least once.

Some people were apprehensive about toting around their firelizards for everyone to see. Erisi was not one of those people. Plague carriers or not, his little Gold served one purpose - endless entertainment. Some dragonriders were visibly upset when they saw Harac riding on his shoulder. It almost made the little prinprick of her claws against his skin worth it to see dragonriders genuinely unnerved. At first, he'd been nervous with having Harac around Charath (the little gold's name was partly inspired by the Green dragon, and on the plus side was fun to yell when she got up to mischief). Charath wasn't bothered by the firelizard's presence, and convinced Erisi that if the plague was going to come there was little they could do about it.

It was sound logic, and well, Erisi really liked his Gold. He imagined people were more unnerved by her because when she grew up she'd clutch, and she'd have so many firelizard babies. It almost made him cackle with delight, but that would startle the flitt on his shoulder and he valued his skin too much to put it at risk. Now that he had gotten over his initial nerves, and his initial distaste for the Gold after their impromptu makeout session, he was truly enjoying himself. The hatchling was spoiled rotten, and was fed an assortment of fruit and slices of red meat. Doubtlessly she'd grow rather plump if Erisi kept spoiling her.

Then again... a fat firelizard would be amusing as well. How would she even get into the sky for flights? Or did they do it on the ground like normal critters? His firelizard knowledge was notably limited.

For once he wasn't actually seeking Valerian out. It just so happened that they seemed to share the same favorite spot. They had little arguments over who had true rights to the tree, but in the end had settled on sharing it (Erisi still wanted the whole sharding tree). Running into Valerian was a coincidence that Erisi did not mind. His fellow Weyrling and Harper was one of the few people that seemed to constantly reside within Erisi's tolerance level. The young man probably didn't even realize how close of a friendship he had developed with Valerian. Friendship didn't interest and entertain him NEARLY as much as other things.

"Oh, look, you're on the right side of the tree." No time for naps, Valerian. Rather, it was time for an abrupt and rude interruption. Erisi plopped down in the spot next to Valerian, not really minding the blue firelizards that his friend was cuddled up with. Harac was briefly disturbed by the sudden transition, but reclined back around his neck as if she was born there. She was worn much like an ornament or an elaborate scarf, and Harac seemed to find it to be comfortable so there was little complaint from the young flitt.

Valerian didn't need to open his eyes to see who the light footsteps belonged to. No one else but Erisi would come to their tree and if they did, it was unlikely they would bother the Harper that most knew wasn't overly friendly and cuddly, especially since he had two firelizards on him. When Erisi spoke and flopped down beside him, Valerian smirked but still kept his eyes shut. "It hasn't been that long that I would forget which side is the comfortable one." Vex hissed at Erisi and while some would think it was in agreement with Valerian, the blue upset at someone mocking the hand that fed him, it was done simply because Vex didn't get along with others and didn't like the interruption of his time with Valerian. A finger scritching at his little head quickly calmed him though.

Finally he opened his eyes and cautiously turned to look at his friend, trying not to disturb Quill. It was a wasted effort as the curious blue stretched out to sniff at Harac, reacquainting himself with the little queen. Valerian was still amused how Erisi managed to Impress her but it somehow fit, especially the manner in which it happened. He had given Charath extra love and attention that day and the following several for sharing that image with Veeth and him. "Are you avoiding someone in there or are you out here to get me for something?" They were good at enjoying a companionable silence without worrying about talking but Valerian had a feeling there was a catch to this particular visit. It was just something to his fellow Harper that seemed to scream 'extra smug' and it was best to get the answer now instead of waiting.

Not that Erisi's ego would let too much time slip by without them talking about him either way.

"It's only so comfortable because this is the side we both end up on every time." For some reason, Valerian had yet to try and overtake Erisi's side of the tree. At every available opportunity, Erisi stepped over the boundaries and into Valerian's territory. His friend never really put up that much of a fight, and Erisi was beginning to believe that the entire area was his own. Valerian was simply... a tenant. The to-be greenrider had no problem with walking all over Valerian. There was a certain amount of trust between them, and Erisi had little fear of actually getting on his friends nerves. If he did, Valerian was more than capable of shutting him up.

Harac creeled at Quill, as if to ward the little blue away. She wasn't nearly as social as other flitters, mostly because Erisi was already well on his way as designating her as The Best Thing Ever. The Gold would demand to be catered to, and when she wanted attention would be sure to get it. Too much attention, however, would likely unnerve the gold flitt. "I was thinking we could have a little fun," Erisi drawled in such a way that made it clear that he wasn't talking about their sort of usual fun. It was rare, however, for Erisi to be distracted from that course. Believe it or not, Erisi did not always have sex on his mind. He valued Valerian far more as a friend than he did as a sex buddy.

"Just imagine how many dragonriders would be miserable if flitts started hanging around their dragons. Just imagine the look on their faces," he smiled with wicked satisfaction. "I think this is an opportunity that is too good to pass up. You've got two - I think we can cover a fair amount of ground." Erisi still disliked a lot of dragonriders. He still hated that Katila existed at all. However, he loved Charath, and he had some friends that were dragonriders. That did not mean he wouldn't delight in terrorizing the rest of them.

“Because you know which side as the better view,” to anyone else, that would have sounded exactly like it was; a comment about the view in the forest. They would be mostly correct but the slight inflictions of Valerian’s voice and hint of a smirk showed he was boosting his own ego by saying Erisi kept coming around the tree to see him. It was true, so why deny it? So while Erisi thought he owned the tree, Valerian felt he was an added perk that came with the tree that the green weyrling kept coming back to visit.

Quill shrieked in surprise at Harac’s response which upset Vex who bristled from Valerian’s lap. No one picked on Quill! Both blues chattered at each other and Harac a moment before Quill simply turned his back to the little gold and sat down like a prissy princess. If she thought she was too good for his friendship, than he would do the same to her! Vex found that amusing and calmed his hissy fit and jumped up to Valerian’s other shoulder to give his brother reassuring nuzzles. Valerian simply face-palmed and shook his head. “They’re excitable creatures, aren’t they?”

At the first mention of ‘fun’ Valerian did think sexually but he caught on almost immediately after that Erisi was plotting something else that more than likely aligned itself more with their writing unflattering songs about the dragonriders. He wasn’t too far off when Erisi revealed the plan was to parade the flits around and see who they could upset. Valerian didn’t care one way or the other what everyone else’s attitudes were towards the creatures since his opinion was the most important – along with Veeth’s. The sweet blue found them charming and liked to play with them, chasing them like he had chased small critters when he was a hatchling. Valerian had to admit, seeing all three of his blues sleeping together was one of the cutest things he’d ever seen. It was bordering on being too cute!

“That could be fun,” especially, Valerian decided, if they came across people they didn’t have a use for who were also jealous of their new friends. Erisi had a gold and Valerian had two; both of which seemed to have ended up being rare things from the initial nests that were found. The only one who could truly one-up them was Indivara with her blue and gold.

Erisi rolled his eyes at Valerian's obvious self ego-stroking. The Weyrling couldn't really argue with the action, especially since he did it himself more than a few times in a single day. Still, he would refute it simply because he could. Shells, it was Erisi, no one was supposed to have a larger ego than him! "Only because I've graced it with my presence," he interjected with a smug purr. His side of the tree was far better, but that never stopped him from wanting what someone else had. He considered himself entitled to whatever was within Valerian's possession - that was what friendship was, or at least the types of friendship Erisi engaged in.

"I can't believe you let your's crawl all over you," Erisi snorted with disapproval. He'd hate to have Harac climbing all over his torso. The gold seemed content on his shoulder, and rarely seemed to leave it. Some were already under the suspicion that Harac was a deformed gold who couldn't even get herself into the air. There was no other reason that explained why the firelizard seemed to be permanently molded to Erisi's shoulder! Harac seemed to have little interest in the two blues, even if they seemed to have formed a hive mind against her and were proceeding to ignore her existence. How rude! Harac nuzzled her head into Erisi's hair - that was another thing long hair was good for, making a decent firelizard pillow.

Erisi smiled the sweetest smile he could manage when Valerian agreed to go along with his plan. This was why he could stand to be affectionate towards his friend, because Valerian was just too good of a companion! He kept Erisi sexually sated, and never seemed to mind stirring up a little bit of trouble. Erisi considered this payback on dragonriders overdue for all the shit they put him through. He got Charath out of the deal, but he couldn't help but think there were better ways of going about finding his Green. "See, I thought so too. It'd be a shame to miss this opportunity while people still loathe their existence. One day they'll all get adjusted, and that is the day I may very well cry. It'll be the most hideous day all of Pern has ever experienced." He didn't think he needed to convince Valerian further. Erisi stood up, unsettling the gold firelizard on his shoulder. Harac adjusted quickly, though he did get the little prinprick of claws into his shoulder as a reward for the sudden movement.

"C'mon, before you try and fall back to sleep again." He knew his friend had been close to passing out before, but now Valerian knew that Erisi was aware that the other Harper was trying to take a nap and disturbed him anyways. That was the sort of nice friend that Erisi was.

Valerian would hardly say the firelizards were crawling all over him. They preferred his lap or shoulders; it wasn’t like they were constantly going for a stroll up and down his limbs or torso. He held his tongue however since it wasn’t a major point to argue. Not even pointing out how uncomfortable it had to be to have a flitter necklace always wrapped tightly around his neck would be done since Erisi’s mood was swinging upwards and that was a much better time to be around him. So he let Erisi finish convincing him, even though he had already decided to go along with the mischief of the day. It seemed harmless enough and seeing a little chaos would be entertaining.

“Sleep is rather enticing but I guess I’ll go with you this time,” he conceded with a half-smirk before a yawn took over. Maybe a nap was the better option after all! He got to his feet and quickly dusted himself off and waited for Quill and Vex to settle back in. The lazy buggers still preferred to go for a ride on his shoulders more often than flying about above him. He didn’t mind; it wasn’t like they were that large or heavy and it helped to keep an eye on them. Quill could be so curious and Vex wasn’t fond of most people and Valerian didn’t need him going around causing trouble.

“Circle the Gathering Square before going through the Dining Hall?” Valerian wasn’t sure where else they would go other than the Crafting Hall or the Weyrfolk Hall but given the time of day, he suspected the two locations he suggested would hold more people and save them from having to hunt through multiple rooms to find anyone worth picking on. But, knowing Erisi, his friend already had a list of people he wanted to make especially miserable that day and knew where to find them. “Lead on to wherever.”

"You wouldn't be sleeping with me around, anyways," Erisi answered with a smirk of equal measure to Valerian's. His self-confidence was in full bloom. It didn't really help that Valerian went along with him so often, but that was what helped Erisi to feel so comfortable with his friend. There was no one else in Katila that he was quite so open with. To most people, he was just another greenriding slut. To Valerian he was still a greenriding slut, but there was just a little more depth revealed to him. Erisi was hardly ashamed of his lifestyle - it was fun, and usually the most interaction he liked to have with other people. Most Katilans annoyed him within seconds, making someone like Valerian a rare find. Erisi did not want to cruelly mock him or watch some terrible and unforeseen horror fall down upon him.

"You come up with the best ideas," Erisi purred in such a way that it was unclear if he was praising Valerian or simply mocking him for stating the obvious. Erisi didn't want to bother with chasing certain people down. The Gathering Square held their best odds for making people uncomfortable. He had no doubt that he would succeed. He had Charath on his side, after all, and the Green asserted a fair amount of dominance over Harac. The Gold flitt willingly listened to Charath - it was some sort of odd sisterhood that Erisi did not want to think about.

"You know who the obvious choice is, right?" Erisi began as he led the way back towards the edge of the forest. "B'jin." Which he knew Valerian would whine about, or at least suspected him to. But, shells, the greenrider had obviously detested the discovery of firelizards. He had singled himself out from the very beginning to this sort of torment! It was just coincidence that Valerian favored him and Talian looked up to him as some sort of hideous father figure (Erisi didn't understand that either). Either way, Erisi suspected he'd have to torment the man all on his own.

It came as no surprise to hear B’jin should be the first target of Erisi’s harassment and showing off of his pretty little gold. While not the only one afraid of and against the firelizards, B’jin had been the most vocal in his hatred when the eggs first appeared and the first clutch hatched. Valerian knew that within the last sevenday, the greenrider had been trying to accept the creatures – rather, he had at least made up with R’nd who had a clingy little blue so some sort of understanding had been reached. “You know R’nd’s likely going to be glued to B’jin’s side, especially after their dramatic break up.” He wasn’t trying to dissuade Erisi from his goal, simply stating that one of the people Erisi seemed to like on some level would no doubt be around to witness the ego-stroking while making people miserable. No doubt that would end up being a bonus for the weyrling that couldn’t get any proper play out of R’nd recently.

“What about I’shan?” Valerian asked about the man that had Stolen them both as they started cutting through Katila for the Gathering Square. The bluerider had his own firelizard as well but it wasn’t a gold, which seemed to be part of the point Erisi wanted to make as he harassed people he didn’t like. That would likely be another risky encounter given the way I’shan and Erisi got along but Valerian figured that was part of the reason he was tagging along. Sure, his two blues would help increase the panic in those that didn’t trust the tiny creatures but Valerian was also good at keeping Erisi under some sort of control and reining him in when he was close to going too far and landing himself in danger or more trouble than he wanted.

As they entered the Square, green eyes swept over the area, taking in the people milling about in groups or with their dragons. “I think I see a good first target,” Valerian gave a nod toward someone sitting not too far away from them.
