Lorenuo watched Nejerc’s reaction and recognized the slight play in his voice as he turned and called the firelizard ‘Mr. Fish’. It tugged a smile onto his face easily. Either Nejerc was growing slightly comfortable around the woman he’d never seen the man interact with personally – or he was attempting to comfort her. Though why Nejerc, of all people, would put any care into the way a woman felt Lorenuo was slightly baffled about. This was, after all, his friend Nejerc – not some soft hearted green rider.
Of course, the mention of the ‘honorary’ master healer baffled the Trader just a slight bit more, he pushed that aside too. He’d get the answers he wanted now that he’d finally cornered the damn fish, but first he needed to be rid of prying ears and apparently distractions.
“Be gone woman, before I decide you’re too pretty to leave alone.” He said easily, giving her a wickedly charming smile that would have sent pleasant shivers down a stronger woman’s spine. This woman, however, he knew would take it as a dangerous promise. Just as he thought, she paled and her little flitter-lizard puffed up with a whole new array of spitting and hissing as she quickly fumbled to her feet and took off once more.
A large hand rested on Nejerc’s hand as she left the garden, just to make sure the Fish didn’t take off after her again. “Damn it man, do you know that you are the hardest damn person to track down when you’ve got something on your mind? I swear, you go from point A to point B faster than a dragon jumps between – and when there are crowds of hysterical people between us it’s impossible for me to keep up, even with longer legs.”
Pausing as he heard voices on the other side of the garden wall came into earshot. Honestly, the whole Weyr was abuzz with gossip and thoughts on the whole ordeal and attack on the Weyrleader and it honestly made Lorenuo grin from ear to ear. As they finally moved out of earshot, he offered a hand down to his Weyrbred friend. “So tell me what your thoughts are so far. I’m assuming you haven’t been flitting around like a slippery fish for no reason at all.”
