He's free if you want to 'talk'.

'Haha, aren't you fucking cute tonight.'

Charath didn't deign him with a response, rather channeling a rather smug feeling over to her newly graduated bonded. Their relationship consisted of frequent attempts to one-up each other, and usually Charath won. It wasn't quite clear if Erisi had given up on fighting with her for the most part, or if she won it through earnest effort. Erisi would never actually admit he let her walk all over him sometimes. 'Since you're being such a great help tonight, give me a hand here.' Erisi lifted his arm, rustling the content gold firelizard that was perched upon his shoulder. Harac chirped at him, apparently not terribly upset with being bothered at the moment. She usually was fairly well behaved when their was food around.

"Get Valerian's attention for me," he told the Gold, which she didn't quite understand, but that was why he had Charath. His Green for once did him a favor without bitching about it, and mentally directed Harac where she should go. The flitter seemed to consider the request before taking off from Erisi's shoulder. She weaved through the crowd of party-goers with relative ease until she found her target. Harac was momentarily distressed that Valerian did not quite have a shoulder to land upon, and so she circled around his head with lazy flaps of her wings. When she was confident she had the young man's attention, she flew back through the crowd, expecting Valerian to follow her. She doubled back once just to make sure Valerian didn't get distracted, and screeched at him when he paused to congratulate a classmate.

The Gold flitter was clearly not the perfect image of patience, but neither was her owner. Eventually she made it back to Erisi and landed prettily on his shoulder. Immediately she was rewarded with a bite of food that clearly wasn't made for a firelizard. Valerian's classmate and fellow Harper looked smug and fairly pleased with himself for the little trick Harac had done. Harac had done all the effort for him! All Erisi had to do was sit back and drink some wine. He was already in a good mood, which was a miracle for Erisi. Sometimes it seemed like the young man was destined to be sour constantly. The only time he really lightened up was when he was naked, and in someone else's bed. The first few months of Weyrlinghood had been absolute hell for Erisi and anyone close to him. When he couldn't get laid, he was undeniably grumpy.

"I feel a little bit out of place. You're the one speaking up to the Weyrleader and I'm the one minding my tongue." Erisi lightly brought up the Weyrleader's announcement, giving Valerian appropriate time to comment on his actions and equally enough time to pass the subject over entirely. It was Erisi's way of showing that he cared, and in a way wanted to make sure that Valerian was okay. He'd been with Talian, so he assumed the Healer had some calming effect on him.

I think it's finally showing that you're a bad influence on him. I'd appreciate if you stop trying to get Valerian into trouble.

'Shove it, Charath.'

"So, what should I call you? V'leri? V'ian? Oh, fuck, no, I'll get confused with the twins and I'm already confused enough with them to start with." Erisi smiled, and pulled out the seat next to him in invitation for Valerian to sit down and chat. It wasn't like Valerian had anyone else that important to talk to. Sure, his classmate had other friends, but Erisi counted himself as the most valuable.

Call him More. You scream it enough at him anyways, Charath taunted with a dark laugh.

Erisi decided to ignore her, though the twitch at the corner of his mouth indicated that she was starting to get underneath his skin. It was a good night to be Charath.
