Erisi had replaced one distress for another, so to speak. While he had completely forgotten about his fight with I'shan, he had potentially created a new problem in the process. Talian still looked okay, so maybe he really didn't have that much to worry about. He could hope that Talian had been ready for what they had done, but Erisi suspected it had been a spur of the moment act. They had both been weak, had both needed comfort, and physical intimacy had been the answer. It was clear, though, that Erisi had enjoyed himself much more than Talian. That was another thing he should probably worry about, but he was trying to tackle all the new issues one at a time.
"And I need my pants..." he murmured as he unwound his arms from around Talian's neck. He picked the pants up off of the floor and shoved them on. His sash was tied back around his waist with a little more care to its placement, though it really wouldn't matter when he eventually went to bed later that night. With his clothing back in place, he situated himself back onto Talian's bed, laying back against the headboard and observing his friend with a more steady gaze. He was sated, and his mind a little more calm after Talian burnt out his energy.
"That makes sense." It did - Erisi didn't know all who Talian hung out with, but he was the obvious choice to go to for experimenting. It helped that Talian and himself had clicked, their friendship was unusual but true. It was a miracle that Erisi had the patience for Talian, and likewise it was a miracle that Talian had the patience for the irritable Harper. "It's all right, I imagine I'll come back eventually. It'd be stupid for them to punish me so much that I can't be of use to them, since that's the whole reason they Searched me." It was only touching the very tip of the issue, though. There had been multiple reasons for their sudden union.
"And," he anxiously licked his lips, "if you need to do... something like that again, it's okay to come to me. You won't have to worry about blundering with anybody else in it." The offer alone was uncomfortable for Erisi - it wasn't that he disliked what they had done, rather Erisi wasn't fond of repeat adventures with anyone. He didn't like to risk fostering a relationship, he wasn't emotionally willing to be in an actual relationship. So, offering himself as someone that Talian could go to was pressing at his own boundaries. It was the least he could do, and he imagined that it would make things easier for Talian.
