Unlike most of the Weyr, V’ler didn’t drink the night before. Before Impressing he only casually drank at gatherings and sipped extremely slowly on anything he was given to make it stretch out and give the illusion he was as wild as the rest of them. So when Grith started screeching and Veeth woke up with his own brand of excitement over the news joining in, V’ler wasn’t too bothered by it. It was irritating in only that he had only recently gone to bed and didn’t want to get up.
In truth, he could skip it if he wanted to since he already had a dragon – for two turns! That still blew his mind – but he was a Harper and the urge to record all major events was strong in him. Since he didn’t trust anyone else to keep a proper and detailed account, V’ler dragged his behind out of bed and tossed on some clothes. Fingers were barely combed through his mop of hair, leaving him still with an oddly stylish form of bed head before finding his writing equipment. A moment later and he was trudging outside with everything he needed and clambering up Veeth’s side.
He arrived in a timely fashion and was instantly amused by the state of everyone. Hangovers were running rampant everywhere he looked; including the goldriders. V’ler frowned at Jada’s condition and shook his head. He had warned her at the start of the night to ease up on the drinks. Just because it was a time to celebrate and her latest clutch would hatch soon, didn’t mean there was a need for excessive partying. It seemed his words of wisdom were ignored though given some of her flirtatious comments towards him only a few hours earlier, he shouldn’t have been surprised.
He was tempted to go check on her but Indivara was there and seemed to be doing a good job of handling everything. Besides, their spawn was over there as well and V’ler wasn’t awake enough to even try to pretend he wanted to be near Varlea let alone pretend he knew what he was doing with a baby. Instead, he had Veeth mosey over to the vantage point they had scouted in recent days that allowed him to see both clutches without too many obstacles. By the end of the event his neck was bound to hurt with the back and forth motion but he’d deal with it so long as his recording captured everything.
Speaking of capturing everything…
V’ler took out the writing board to settle over his lap from where he sat atop Veeth and arranged his writing tools. Once he was organized, the initial notes about who was hungover and who seemed to be ready were made. It was going to be an interesting day, he could feel it already.
