"I see," I'shan replied, a knowing smile flickering at B'jin for a few moments as he raised his bottle. It was a nice bubbly, fruity wine; exactly the kind I'shan liked. Whoever he'd stolen it from had excellent tastes! Could he hear someone asking about their misplaced wine bottle somewhere over the crowd? Nah. Not that it mattered. I'shan smirked like a devil and took another long drink while nodding understandingly at B'jin's explanation. I'shan knew the little healer was giving B'jin all kinds of trouble, but at the end of the day, I'shan felt genuinely sorry for the kid. If anything, I'shan envied the relationship B'jin had managed to cultivate with the young man.
I'shan's only current plan with Erisi was to fly him one day. Oh ho.
The bluerider's eyes widened in delight as he heard R'nd's voice snaking through the crowd. "Hey!" I'shan said with impetuousness, spinning around on his heels and making a mocking face at the man. "You're not a searchrider! Begone!" he said with a dramatic, severely un-masculine flick of his hand.
He laughed immediately and shook his head. "Who am I kidding? How the shards are you, R'nd?" he asked, expression warming a bit as he took a step closer to greet his friend. His eyes widened in sudden amusement as R'nd moved to kiss him, but quickly diverted himself. Feeling adventurous, and perhaps a bit determined to prove that he was not whipped by N'gelt, I'shan swooped in and kissed R'nd on the cheek. He cast a wily grin at B'jin as he did so, though it was purely in jest. He had no interest in taking R'nd from the greenrider, though he did like making a show.
"To making trouble!" I'shan agreed, lifting the bottle for a long gulp after the ceremonial clink of glass. He let out a little squeak of surprise as B'jin fell upon him again. "Dance?"
N'gelt wouldn't like that. I'shan swallowed hard before agreeing, eyes lighting up like a child that knew they were going to get in trouble. A shudder of danger and anticipation ran through him.
"I'd love to," he purred, flowing after B'jin like a feline. He shoved his wine bottle at R'nd and moved up beside B'jin, face slowly twisting into a self-satisfied, perhaps tipsy smile.
He felt warm inside. The wine was doing its work....and then there was the rush that came with danger. Too bad N'gelt wouldn't be there to alleviate the churning force he already felt sizzling in his veins. Tonight was too grand a night to spend alone. Yes...he would find N'gelt later. But for now, the dance floor called.
