F'drel was due a visit.
The greenrider had been a big help in some areas recently, whether he wanted to be or not, and D'hys needed to repay him. It probably would have surprised some people that he believed in rewarding good behaviour instead of just taking what he wanted, when he wanted it. While that was fun and had its place, it just wasn't a good business practice. He believed in rewarding his employees so they continued to preform their duties at the highest caliber. Of course some of them had been initially blackmailed into helping him and he felt they all ended up with good deals to keep them motivated in the end, but sometimes a special circumstance arose and it deserved further compensation.
The whole mess with B'jin, R'nd, and F'drel would have been easily fixed within a day if B'jin had more than two wine-soaked brain cells left to rub together. He had, a bit more kindly, pointed out the next time B'jin heard gossip and wanted the truth, he would do better to come directly to D'hys than believe some bored greenriders looking to stir up trouble.
As it was, he ended up having some fun because of the mess, though it had gone on a lot longer than he would have both preferred or expected it to. B'jin was a stubborn git--and one that was addicted to being thrashed around. D'hys was into a lot of things and some of it included giving lovers some pain with their pleasure but flat out punching and causing intense bruising to bloom wasn't usually requested. He still pulled his punches at times and he was pretty sure he'd given B'jin a new kink that would scare the shit out of innocent R'nd and in the end, they both seemed to get off on that power play.
After the Flight Larrikith was close to having at the Gather of all places, D'hys finally had to get rid of B'jin. He needed his space back and the game was growing old. So the proper information was presented to the greenrider and he was set home to fix things with his beloved bluerider. His attention then went to acquiring the reward for F'drel, which wasn't as easy as he would have assumed. But at last he had all the paperwork from all the deals he had to work out. It was almost more work than he felt was warranted for what F'drel had done for him but the greenrider was surprisingly good at his job of information gathering and deserved the treat.
It also helped serve as a reminder to keep trusting him and show what he could do when motivated. If D'hys could provide something at this level, he could just as easily take it all away again.
He didn't give F'drel warning of his coming, not until Zeianth was tasked with inquiring about any visitors when they appeared over Ista Weyr. Visitors were easy enough to get rid of but D'hys had a feeling R'dal would be an issue if he was around. That kid was weird and D'hys didn't want to deal with him more than he had to.
He greeted Halomirth when they landed on her ledge, always doing such a thing with any dragon. Some days D'hys preferred dragons to humans but he just genuinely liked and respected the creatures. He turned his own sisters away to keep Zeianth well and truly safe from the plague, after all.
Leaving the dragons to their own devices, D'hys sought out the greenrider and grinned when he was found, "F'drel, you're looking well. Do you want to start with business or pleasure today?"
