Pie? D'ren was initially confused, his mind focused far too much on the niceties of the conversation to deal with an unexpected outburst like that without a double-take. He smiled slowly, his expression friendly and amused. The young goldrider's lack of grace was endearing, and it reminded of him of Jada before Tsuen got her claws in the poor girl. What a mess life was these days!
"Well, I certainly appreciate it," D'ren said as he motioned for Ameris to hand it to him. "I'll go put this in the kitchen and fetch us something to drink," he offered, his sense of chivalry kicking in. He had a young lady in his house! After all day of undoubtedly dealing with all sorts of indignities inflicted by either weyrlinghood or thew Weyrwoman, D'ren was certain she would like some tea of some klah. Or maybe he was just happy to have something to do? Either way!
He took off as a leisurely pace, quickly rounding up some glassware and putting some water on. It had been a bit warm of klah, but then again, it was always too warm by his standards. He felt gross and overheated even now, even though he hadn't stepped foot outside that day. He cursed the heat under his breath as he headed back into the sitting chamber and seated himself.
"Ronarth and I don't get many visitors lately," he said pleasantly. It was a great boost to his morale. As fr as he was concerned, he and his bonded were living in deserved exile for their utter failure as both running the weyr and protecting Tsuen. To think that anyone cared enough to visit provided a warm sense of redemption, fleeting through it was. D'ren had always been a man of simple pleasures, so it didn't take much to make his day.
