R’vi somehow managed to keep a pleasant expression on his face despite being somewhat sad at her guess. He knew she was just playing with him and knew which brother she was with but what if guessing N’vian was a hint that she wished the younger twin was with her instead? He loved his brother and that was part of the problem when it came to his insecurities. They used to do everything together and he relied on his twin more than he should have. Now that they were practically strangers with how little they got to see each other, he was both a bit jealous of those that got to spend time with N’vian and somewhat hurt that people might prefer the bronzeriding Vian to the one on blue.
Indivara, however, always played by her own rules and always seemed to be exempt from the standards R’vi used on everyone else. Maybe she did want to see his brother; so did he. He wasn’t even all that jealous that she lived in the same Weyr as N’vian, mostly because R’vi might have been able to stay in Telgar if he promised to behave but the lure of sunshine and warmth was too much for him to stay. He also liked the idea of forging his own identity and felt like he was achieving that now.
R’vi almost ignored the hand extended to him but took it, not wanting to set Indivara off in some random fit of rage. He did make sure he pushed most of his weight off his free hand and used his legs a lot more than he would have if some man was helping to pull him to his feet. Indivara was petite and pregnant and had already fainted at least once that day. No way was he going to explain to her mate that she was unconscious or injured because she helped him get off the ground.
“Juice sounds good,” R’vi smiled even as he wondered if V’ler actually had wine stored somewhere. He couldn’t recall ever seeing the Harper drink. Maybe he did at gathers but R’vi didn’t think so. If he did, he sipped the same drink all night. Then again, V’ler may have also had an iron constitution and wine didn’t affect him in the slightest.
“But only if I get it for us because you’ll be sitting down.” R’vi stated as he pointed to the couch and levelled her with a look that clearly said he wasn’t going to back down from this. He wanted to make sure she wasn’t going to overdo it again and didn’t want to worry about her more than he already had. It sucked finding a friend unresponsive on the ground!
