It was certainly a more prickly reaction than D'nei had expected, and he had half a mind to just apologize for pestering the man and moving on. It's just Taith's rider, Kor'is. He's always grumpy. Malvayth says he can be nice though. If you want to meet someone else I've been talking with Halomirth. She's absolutely lovely; you might like her rider, I could ask her to help introduce you. He resisted the urge to let his annoyance reach his face lest the already grumpy rider think he was upset with him. Cassie, no, that's fine. You have fun and don't worry about me. Oh it's no worry at all. Once you're done with Kor'is just come over and I'll introduce you to the lovely lady at least.
D'nei eyed Kor'is, frowning for a moment as he took another small sip of the same glass of wine he'd been nursing all night. At least this was probably better than uncomfortably trying to wing man for his dragon. "Well, you don't seem that drunk, and I'm assuming you're not an idiot." That came out much more dry than he'd intended and he quickly apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything... Cassie is just... insisting that I meet new people, and I'd rather do that on my own than have him pick someone out."
And now he was feeling awkward about that as well, like when his parents or older brother would try to introduce him to some nice girl around his age who just so happened to be single. He could be friendly enough when other people came up to him, why was it so hard for him to be friendly when he had to initiate? D'nei took a look around the crowd and shrugged. "In all honesty I would have preferred to leave a long time ago. It's a bit crowded for me. I can just leave you be though if you want."
