Since the moment that she'd punched Yfris in the face she'd been trying to think about the marriage as a possibility and not just as an annoying obstacle put forth by her mother. Cazan had even talked to T'ryn about it, and then cried far more than she'd wanted (which was to say, at all) when he'd continued being the wonderfully supportive man who loved her back and provided as much reassurances as he could that no matter what things would be okay for them.
As pesky and dramatic as Yfris was, with his carefree attitude and general laziness, he was her friend, and Cazan did worry about him a little. She'd done a bit of her own research, and mostly just exchanged letters with her older brother knowing he kept a close enough eye on their mother to usually know what was going on, while also having at least a somewhat decent head on his shoulders. She was about to bring those letters up when her fiance dramatically tossed a bit of paper onto the table.
Cazan found herself surprised and impressed with how much Yfris had done. It was far more than she'd ever expected he'd do on his own, and she had to quietly rethink the label of lazy that she'd applied to him before. Sure, he was probably still lazy in general and seemed to enjoy avoiding work, but it seemed that once he put his mind to something he could get quite a bit done.
When he mentioned reviewing his other marriage options though, Cazan's eyebrow shot up. "Really? You actually took a look at the other available options and sat down and met them?" If he wasn't acting so dramatic about it all she might have asked who he really was and what he'd done with the real Yfris. Instead she shook her head. "You should probably still see those other three to find out if you like any of them. Because if there are any that you actually do enjoy you should probably stick with that. Otherwise..."
She paused to take a sip of her tea. If he got to be dramatic then she could have her own little moment as well and leave him in a moment of suspense. "I've been writing Cazonel. He is sure my parents would agree to some sort of trade agreement or alliance with yours for the marriage to continue. And I think you could live with me only half the time and not have to give up the Hold, but I'm not as sure about that one so you should double check. You'd have to do something useful while you were in the Weyr, but we could find something that wasn't completely terrible for you to do."
