The whole problem with the announcement was S'kef. Surprisingly, Erisi wasn't even remotely phased by the news. Sure, it was one sharding party dampener, but Erisi didn't care about poor women's rights. He didn't even really care that all the new Weyrlings now had to choose their honorifics on the same night that he finally got his. It was almost as if the new Weyrlings had skipped all of the effort Erisi had gone through to earn his name. But, whatever, he was still in a remotely good mood before all hell broke loose.
Valerian was speaking up! That took Erisi by surprise, because usually it was the ornery greenrider who was rising to every bait laid out before him. Of course, Erisi couldn't blame Valerian, he actually understood his friend's ire. However, Valerian was the one who usually went with the flow. It took a lot to get the other Harper worked up enough to so loudly voice his opinion. Erisi had only managed it on a very rare occasion - Valerian did seem to have limitless patience with him. He sort of expected everyone else to get up to stupid drama, so R'ana (he had no idea what to call her now, nor did he really care) and B'run being ruffled did not even remotely interest him.
'Wanna see if he's okay?' he asked Charath, which was probably the most caring gesture Erisi was capable of making.
He is with Talian. I think he will be fine, even when he's miffed he's far more levelheaded than you. The green dragon came close to touching her thoughts with Valerian's, but pulled away at the last moment. Charath didn't really talk to anybody. She was not a social butterfly of a dragon, and quite frankly, like her bonded, she did not like anybody.
'Thanks... and fuck you.'
Erisi turned his attention back towards S'kef, determined to keep his mouth shut when it came to the Weyrleader after his last brush with the man. Before things could escalate too highly, S'kef rounded up the most vocal of the protestors and began to lead them away. Erisi was mildly surprised that he felt so relieved that Valerian hadn't been called along with them. The newly graduated Weyrling hated to deal with S'kef himself, so he certainly didn't want his friend to do the same.
'Remind me to talk with him later.'
I doubt you have talking in mind.
Of course, the one time he tried to be serious, Charath picked right up on it and had to ruin it for him. Whatever, he probably wouldn't do much talking in the end anyways.
