He had, quite frankly, not expected anyone to start talking to him while he was at Fort, so it was much to F’drel’s surprise that someone greeted him. The voice he recognized, but only just, and he remembered, even through the slight haziness that was the afternoon of Miri’s Flight, what the words referred to.
“Not technically.” F’drel said mildly, turning to face D’hys, giving him a fairly neutral smile. He hadn’t really known what to do with the invitation, so F’drel had just put off making any decisions about it indefinitely. Until now, apparently, where he was being questioned about it. “I was on an errand here and was stopping in for a snack before heading home.” Which made it sound like he was planning on leaving sooner than he was, but that wasn’t important. D’hys didn’t need to know that he had no idea how long he’d be at Fort yet, if he needed to know at all. F’drel was a bit unsure how to respond to the situation, and his general restlessness of the past two weeks was not helping in the slightest. Though perhaps actual human interaction, as much of an unknown as the person may be, would be better than sitting alone and waiting for who knows how long for a firelizard to pop up and bring him a summons from the Headwoman. He considered D’hys for another moment.
“Are you offering a different plan?” F’drel asked, raising an eyebrow and waiting for what the bluerider would come up with.
Oh, wonderful! Halomirth said in response to Zeianth’s slightly slow answer to her greeting. I’ll be right there. She said, seeing Zeianth standing up and calling to her, as well as using her mental sense of where he was to find him. Cheerfully calling back, she popped between from where she stood to a few dragonlengths away from the ledge, gliding down to land beside Zeianth. Hello! She chirped, moving to stand beside the blue. The last time they met Halomirth had been rather distracted, but today she realized she was a bit taller than him. Not that she minded at all, and she was in fact rather pleased that she could gently lean her head against his in greeting without having to stretch her neck to reach. She’d been spending time with Tesamyth recently, and the gold was bigger than most of her other friends, so she’d gotten used to reaching.
How have you been, Zeianth? Halomirth asked, settling down next to him.
