Erisi laughed.
The sound was surprisingly rich for someone so cold. Many people were likely under the impression that Erisi could not laugh at all, since the young Harper seemed to instead constantly wear a scowl upon his face. One was more likely to run into that scowl than a genuine smile. That was what Lymsleia had been faced with, and she simply wasn't the right type of person to get on Erisi's good side. Valerian, on the other hand, seemed to do it effortlessly. A comment that Erisi would likely find offensive when stated so bluntly was accepted with ease, and even appreciated. He did have to give Valerian credit for that one. Erisi was far more likely to be on his knees elsewhere than in front of Lymsleia. In fact, glancing towards Valerian now, he was definitely a good option.
Erisi didn't think the man was being serious, but if he was well, Erisi was never disinclined to the idea. Again, while Erisi wasn't fond of displays such as the one Valerian was putting on, he seemed content with it, even appreciative of Valerian's 'rescue'. So, when Valerian's arm came about his waist, he draped his own arm around his friend's shoulder, leaning against him effortlessly and with a slightly cocky grin. "To be honest, I'd rather be on my knees in front of an obese, fifty-turn old man, instead of you. If I had to pick between you and him, I wouldn't even hesitate to pick him.
Fortunately, my friend is offering a better option," he answered with a playful wink towards Valerian. Really, he expected they'd just return to his room, drink, and write terrible ballads about how mean dragonriders were for the rest of the day. Erisi was feeling particularly inclined about writing a ballad about how every egg the Gold dragon lays is infertile. It probably wasn't true, but Erisi would gladly take the small comforts in life. So, with Valerian beginning to guide him away, Erisi saw no better option than to walk with the Harper.
