This Weyr still didn't feel like home to Erisi. He hadn't returned to his usual habits, even singing was rare for him now. He wasn't depressed, he just wasn't the sort of person to be dragged down by his situation. Erisi could overcome this new Weyr life if he wanted to, but the truth remained that he didn't. He didn't want to adjust, he did not want to acclimate to his new surroundings. He was more stubborn than a watchwher, and no one could change his attitude but himself. So, his usual lifestyle of living it up had changed drastically to fit his new avoidance personality. He didn't want to socialize with other dragonriders and weyrfolk, so he did not drink. He certainly didn't want to taint himself by sleeping with them either. Some things didn't change from his old self, though, he remained loyal to the very few friends he had. He was still as opinionated and stubborn as ever. His intellect hadn't changed, but he felt far less inclined to act intelligently in a place he felt was entirely glowless.
To put things simply, Erisi was just refusing to change, and the worst part of it was that he could. He could make his own life so much easier for himself right now, but his righteous hate for Katile Weyr held him back.
It wasn't much of a surprise that instead of drinking with his peers late at night, he was planning to drink on his own. Erisi was honestly a social drinker, and drinking alone did not make much sense to him. But, desperate times called for desperate measures. Erisi was a bit of a night owl, and he needed something direly to pass the time with (since he couldn't seem to find anyone decent to accompany himself with lately). The young man wasn't expecting company, and opened a half-cracked door all the way to enter a storage room that he knew was filled with wine he enjoyed drinking.
It really wasn't his fault that he ran straight into I'shan's back. The young man recoiled violently, having given himself a sharding heart attack with the sudden appearance of another figure in the same room he had entered. Erisi twisted back, a hand clutched to his chest as he exclaimed an impressive stream of expletives. It was such an amazing run of curse words that he didn't bother to even check and see who it was that he had run into. Doubtlessly I'shan would recognize the voice, he had probably heard every curse flung in his direction in about the same span of time as Erisi was accomplishing now. At least he would know that this was a common thing for the young Harper, for him to curse until he ran out of breath.
