Erisi's hand lifted to push back the hair that had been tousled by the beat of Saquith's wings. The breeze could have been considered pleasant if he wasn't currently in a stand off with N'gelt, so instead the action was annoying. He had liked Saquith before, since the dragon had been one of the few that seemed to mind his space. At the first sign of trouble, the dragon seemed to ignore Erisi's desire to be able to breathe his own air. While he could not hear Saquith, he knew the dragon had said something, because Charath replied to him in a voice that she had not yet mastered, and so was broadcasted to her bonded and probably those nearby as well. He looked down at his dragonet, who did not seem to be terribly upset, but was definitely agitated. She was terribly alike him in that way - they both got along with nearly no one, and both of them were quick to make angry. Shells, both of them could hold a grudge. If Charath didn't spend all day tricking people, he would have thought that he had Impressed himself.
I would not do something so crude. Charath answered honestly. Her voice was dark to begin with, but was darker now with agitation at Saquith's continued interference. This was something that she'd likely never get over now. Do not think that I am glowless as to be unable to come up with a more clever solution. You'll see when your's winds up with a foul tasting drink. If Erisi was misbehaving, Charath was doing it more so. He would have scolded her if he didn't want to at least show a united front against N'gelt. Really, he wasn't looking for actual confrontation. He was standing his ground now, because it'd likely be impossible to later. Erisi had enough run-ins with D'ren to avoid giving the Weyrleader a reason to call him back to his dining table.
He was absolutely affronted when N'gelt started to talk down to him, and Charath was in no mood herself to calm him down. Icy eyes burned with barely restrained anger, and it was up to himself to keep calm. Arguing with N'gelt wouldn't go well for him... the man was fairly good at being intimidated. Erisi was known for stupidly starting fights that he couldn't win. As a journeyman, he'd gotten himself hurt a few times because he did not know when to shut up. "You're right. I didn't want a dragon, I didn't want a lifestyle that I was not in full control of. But I have her now, and she is everything. What makes me sad is that you see no problem with letting other people lord over your life." His words were reasonable, but his tone was biting. He was antagonizing N'gelt far more than he knew he should, but Erisi was not the type of person to back down even when it was for his own good.
