It had been a long and well, disastrous day. Erisi blamed it on Charath, and the green naturally blamed it on her bonded. The truth was that they both loved each other, but like all new relationships there were a series of kinks that needed to be worked out. One that hadn't been addressed well enough was also the cause for their being tardy for part of the Weyrling Lesson earlier that day. Erisi wasn't an exceptional student to begin with, since he had made the decision not to be. Even so, he did try to keep his head out of trouble enough that he didn't try to be late. He knew how much G'rem hated tardiness, and this was something he'd be paying for sevendays from now. It was a fate he would have avoided if at all possible.

We would have been on time if you did not insist on eating, and then use eating as an opportunity to sneak in a nap. Charath scolded from what was her 'problem' position on the bed. On his bed. He'd already gave up and moved to the chair in his room, and likely when he was just about to fall into a deep sleep, Charath would move from the bed to his side to try and cuddle up close to him. It was the only time she showed any depth of fondness for him, and it was the one time of the day he'd rather she didn't. Erisi would inevitably wake up, try to find a comfortable position, give up, and then try and reclaim the bed. The both of them could lay on it if Charath had more consideration for Erisi, but her wings usually ended up taking most of the space since the dragonet enjoyed being sprawled out in an undignified way when no one was looking. The green Weyrling could fall asleep, it just didn't last long, or wasn't deep.

Who could honestly blame him for being late to a lesson or two, then?

Oh, that was right, Charath could.

"If you had let Valerian wake me up properly, it would have been fine," Erisi rolled his eyes at Charath. The Harper was a little too tired to invest a great deal in arguing with his dragonet. In actuality, he'd rather give up when it came to her and let her have her way. Erisi could fight with anyone, but with Charath? He was more whipped than a holder letting his wife work while he stayed home to watch their twenty kids.

Why do you keep insisting on that? No. I don't understand why you want to, and I really don't want to try to. Lessons are important, and I will not have you embarrassing me by sleeping your way through them. The dragonet lifted her head, fixing her gaze intently on her bonded. Whatever meaning she tried to pass on to him through her eyes, he ignored and spent a few minutes trying to situate himself in the chair. You can lay with me in my bed, Charath suggested in what Erisi assumed was a mock display of pity.

"No, you can have it. It's just your size."

Charath was a little too dignified to admit that she just wanted to sleep at Erisi's side. Erisi was a little too dignified to cuddle with his dragon. "I'm tired - I'm sleeping. Night."

It's not even late! You slept through class!

"No, you kept me up through class."

Of course I did.

He had survived another weyrling class. They were usually rather boring and Valerian considered staying awake the entire time and not getting whacked by G’rem’s stick an accomplishment but that day’s class was something different. He still didn’t quite know what to make of it and decided perhaps he should just consider like in Katila to be one of those examples for the saying about expecting the unexpected. What, exactly, was conventional about the place anyway? But he had made it through in one piece and Veeth had made a new friend – or at least a new dragon he was going to make into a friend one way or another – so despite Erisi and Jada showing up late and some old bronzerider eyeing Allendris up for some nefarious purpose, it had been considered a good day. It didn’t hurt that a nice meal had been made that evening either.

It was from the Dining Hall that Valerian and Veeth were making their return to their room. Valerian had no idea what to do for the remainder of the night since class was over, they were both fed, and Veeth had already been pampered with his grooming. Perhaps a little writing of some sort or figuring out if they should attempt sleeping outdoors if the barracks were too loud again would pass the time nicely. Nah, visiting one of his friends seemed the more appealing idea and since Erisi seemed a bit out of it earlier, he was the winner of the friend roulette.

Do you think Temsaith will like me if when I’m bigger? Veeth had picked up on the thought about friends and his mind wandered back to the large pretty blue that took them to the lake earlier that day. Temsaith didn’t seem to like having a little dragonet climbing on him or near him at all but Veeth found him interesting and loved the attention J’dan gave him. Maybe when he was fully grown the older dragon would want to talk to him with a nicer tone or maybe he was shy and they needed to meet up in a private setting so he didn’t have to pretend to be a bad guy to hide his feelings!

“Everyone likes you, Veeth,” Valerian commented without pause and not as a way to soothe his blue’s feelings but out of what he realized was an obvious truth. Even Talian didn’t seem to react as negatively as he could have. “But maybe if you don’t climb on him next time you see him, he’ll like you even more.”

Charath doesn’t like me… Veeth’s sweet mind-voice came out even softer than usual as if he was upset by the attitude the feisty green gave him. Valerian stopped outside the door the barracks and crouched down to wrap his arms around the tiny neck and give him a little hug. He wasn’t really the type to give out hugs but Veeth made him do odd things and that, too, had been accepted. “Charath is grumpy because she couldn’t Impress both Eri and me. It’s nothing against you, Veeth, and you know that. She’ll eventually stop picking on you about not being good enough and you two will find common ground once she sees how good you are for me.” Valerian stood back up and blocked from Veeth the hope that what he said was true. Veeth had told him once about the conversations he had with Charath and he wasn’t sure the little green would ever let it go. Perhaps the superstitions about Touching the eggs had some merit after all. He didn’t Impress Charath but he definitely had left an impression on her all the same.

A few minutes later and they were at Erisi’s door. Instead of doing the polite thing and knock, Valerian just let himself in. It wasn’t like his promiscuous friend would be up to anything with someone and even if he was, Valerian would have ignored it and told his friend to come visit him when he was finished before leaving again. What he found instead was Charath on the bed and after a quick scan of the small room, found Erisi curled up in the chair. The man didn’t look too comfortable but he seemed determined to like it and find sleep all the same. It was sort of cute and Valerian said as much with an amused grin. “You’re rather adorable when you’re almost asleep. Doing so in a chair only adds to it.”

Charath had shut up for long enough, and Erisi had situated himself into a comfortable enough position that sleep was beginning to weigh upon the edges of his mind. Normally, he was more active towards nighttime but with the latest addition into his life, he had to be up early and actually had to do things. The nights of playing in taverns to earn a few extra marks were long over. No one had thought to build a tavern here yet - the dining hall seemed to suit that purpose well enough, but Erisi still considered it a shame. If he didn't have Charath, he could be monopolizing his time better with mark-earning and well, physical pleasure. But, he couldn't think about not having her. He only suspected that his life would be fairly bland without his green dragonet. They were bonded for life now, even if that meant he had to spend sevendays trying to adjust to having her. Life was bound to be difficult for Erisi for a while yet.

Closing his eyes, he put some earnest effort into trying to sleep. That was conveniently when Valerian decided to show up. Charath alerted him to his friend's presence long before he would have become aware of it. Irritation flashed to the forefront of his mind, because for sharding once he wanted to be able to get some decent sharding sleep without being interrupted by everyone and their mothers. Don't snap at him, he hasn't done anything wrong. Charath would have encouraged it if it had been anyone else but Valerian. For some reason she was still particularly attached to the Blue Weyrling. Apparently, it wasn't enough for her to go and disrupt his sleep schedule, though.

He brought his wher of a dragon, Charath groaned privately to Erisi. He was beginning to suspect that it was really foolish to hold onto the hope that one day they would get along. His green dragonet didn't really like to get along with anybody, after all.

Erisi looked over his shoulder to eye Valerian irritably, letting the man know well enough that he was walking into a potential disaster. Erisi could be easy to get along with, when he chose to be. Right now, he chose to be sharding difficult, because that was what Valerian deserved for interrupting his attempt to get some rest. Valerian likely spared himself a few biting remarks, though whether he had done that intentionally was up for debate. The word 'adorable' was spoken, and Erisi's expressions turned from irritation, to embarrassment (a small flush to his cheeks could be detectable), to disgruntled. He shook his head and his gaze dodged away from his friend. Right, he wasn't commenting on that. There was no reason to fuel Valerian's fire.

"What have I done to earn this intrusion?" he asked with a roll of his eyes and a badly concealed yawn.

"You befriended me," Valerian replied nonchalantly with a shrug and completely ignored the obvious fact that Erisi wasn't up for a social call. He wasn't sure if the green weyrling was ever in the mood to socialize if it didn't involve copious amounts of alcohol or a chance to land in bed with someone. Still, this time it was abundantly clear that Erisi didn't want to see even his closest of friends as sleep was the preferred way to pass the time. Valerian couldn't blame him, not when the dragonets could be such a handful with their own oddly kept hours on top of the classes they were still being forced to take. However, that didn't mean he would be a kind friend and save visiting for another day. He was already there and his fellow Harper was already awake, sort of, so there wasn't a point in leaving so soon. Besides, the grumpiness and slight blush from being called adorable, or so Valerian could only assume given all that had been said and done in the scant seconds he had been there, enticed him to stay to see more of this side of Erisi.

Since Erisi was in the chair and the bed had much more room to it, Valerian invited himself all the way in, shutting the door behind him, and continued making himself at home by sitting on the bed. He scooted back a bit until he was sitting a bit more comfortably and could easily reach Charath that seemed to be in need of company. Whether she actually was or not, he had no idea, but still Valerian brushed his fingers over the tiny head knobs in a silent greeting before taking to the usual method of petting her. She didn't talk to him and while Valerian assumed she was actually a bit shy or just doing it to make Erisi feel better after all the comments made lovingly about someone else, he did still talk to her most of the time they crossed paths. Sometimes, like now, he was content to sit in silence with her and keep each other company while Veeth chatted away with Erisi, like he was doing then.

Hello, Erisi! Veeth trotted across the room to sit delicately beside the chair, his hide shining as brightly as a little blue could which showed off his love of being clean and presentable. You never knew who you would run into! Why aren't you in bed if you want to sleep? That doesn't look too comfortable... Of course the reason Veeth could see for the chair being used was that Charath was in the bed and she was probably a rather horrible bedmate. She probably took up all the space and stole the blankets, too!

Anyone else would have gotten the hint and taken their leave, however Valerian remained in his room. He was sure his friend was smart enough to realize that Erisi wasn't in the mood for entertaining company... so that meant Valerian was sticking around for the sole purpose of being a dick, and not the kind of dick Erisi would suck anyways --

You really don't think of anything else, do you? Charath interjected into her bonded's thoughts, and while he busied himself with grumbling mentally over that intrusion, Charath pulled her wings in against her sides and made some polite room for their guest. Of course, she would never show Erisi the same courtesy. Valerian was special, and besides she wasn't going to make herself look improper in front of him. Charath fully believed that Valerian would come to see that she was the better dragonet. Veeth was far too polite and proper to be any fun. In fact, the blue was a total bore, which was why she ignored him in favor of cuddling up to Valerian. She unceremoniously laid her head in his lap, soaking up every bit of the man's attention.

This was just what Erisi did not need. His dragonet was playing nice for Valerian, and the man was on his bed and he could do nothing with that opportunity. Talk about a sharding kick in the ass for his night! If Erisi's anger was not justified before, well, it wasn't any more justified now. He rolled his eyes and leaned his head against the back of his chair, which was still uncomfortable, but would suffice for the remainder of Valerian's (hopefully) short visit. Even Veeth, for all of his cuteness, was unable to really break through the shell of irritation that Erisi had erected around him. The blue earned a quick pet of Erisi's hand, but that was it. Then his arms were folded back against his chest and he continued to look properly disgruntled. "Charath is a horrible bedmate. Trust me, I get a little sleep at least like this."

You are making me look bad!

"Of course I am," he retorted. Revenge was sweet.

Valerian chuckled softly, more to himself than for anyone else to hear, at Erisi’s complaining and what he could only imagine was Charath’s end of the conversation. Those two were always bickering about something and since the little green was doing nothing more than sprawling on the bed and angling for more attention, Valerian could piece together tonight’s episode. No wonder his friend seemed so exhausted at class that day and even looked a little worn out in recent days. It had to be hard sharing a bed with a dragonet that wanted to be close to you at all times or one that liked to pick on you though the older Harper suspected that Charath still loved Erisi more than she let on. Dragons never chose incorrectly and the green weyrling had to feel the same way he did; complete. It was hard to remember what it was like without Veeth and how he managed for so long and Valerian believed Erisi felt the same way about Charath even with the glares the green pair often was locked in.

“You don’t really hog the bed, do you, Charath?” Valerian tilted his head and bent down so he could look at the dragonet with a bit of a playful pout. “Let’s show them that you do know how to share.” He hardly had to think about the situation to realize that he was going to have to intervene in some way to help Erisi out before his friend passed out in the middle of class or a meal or made himself sick from the lack of sleep. Of course that was what he would tell anyone that cared to ask but Valerian was being a bit selfish again when he decided joining Charath in bed seemed like a marvellous idea. If he could tempt his friend into joining as well, then perhaps they could benefit from the simple task of lying together. Everyone that knew Erisi knew the man was wilting away from the lack of sex and while Valerian didn’t overly miss it, he had only just discovered the benefits that came with engaging in such activities, especially with the friend he would soon entice to bed. For sleeping.

Valerian quickly took off his boots and swung his legs up on the bed, careful not to kick Charath as that certainly wouldn’t earn him any favours. Once he had claimed a pillow and was stretched out in a comfortable position, he patted the bed beside him and then his chest, indicating the little green could put her head back down on him if she wanted. “Let’s invite Eri back as well. I bet you actually do want to sleep near him, don’t you?” he spoke softly, hoping his words would only be caught by Charath since from what he had gathered over the short time they had all had together, the green was either playing another game or pretending to be too good for such trivial things like sleeping by her bonded.

He glanced at Erisi with a lazy grin spreading over his lips and reached a hand out to the man. “Join us?” In a turn or two from now or any time before they Impressed dragons, that little question wouldn’t have had to be uttered as the glance alone would have been enough to persuade Erisi to bed. Then again, Valerian wondered if just standing near a bed with a friend in need was invitation enough for some.

As much as he didn’t like Charath for her attitude towards him, Veeth knew his bonded liked her and his words of earlier were still fresh in his mind. He would try to play nice with her to show that he was the perfect choice for Valerian so he didn’t make a fuss at the attention received, knowing that deep down, his chosen really was a kind man and cared for his friends. Instead, Veeth head-butted Erisi’s leg in encouragement to join the two already on the bed. It probably wasn’t needed but still it was done to show he was okay with this plan and stepped aside to give plenty of clearance in case Erisi decided to make a run for the offering.
