R’vi winced as Indivara pointed out everything he had already thought about and more. He knew everyone thought he’d Impress bronze as well – assuming he managed to Impress at all – and had to wonder how disappointed people were. Surely a large portion of the population had lost on what they assumed would be an easy bet and like Indivara said, Tavynia thought they would be the perfect ruling couple. She should have gone after N’vian but it was hard to seduce a weyrling that couldn’t even hold hands if the dragonet was too sensitive so she was stuck with the twin that hadn’t Impressed yet. Then he went and bonded to a pretty blue.
What he hadn’t thought about, however, was being a goldrider’s pet. It wasn’t like he was looking for a long term commitment and surely Tavynia wouldn’t be the one he saw himself with for the rest of his life but wasn’t he more than some pet bluerider? D’hys already referred to him as a toy and now he was on his way to being a pet. Why did everyone want to place ownership on him? R’vi simply wanted to be himself and to be free enjoying whatever he liked.
“I am,” R’vi agreed easily when he was insulted but despite that, he knew enough to keep his mouth shut when Indivara accidentally smacked her dragonet and started to coddle Venseth. Given the girl’s temper, making even the slightest comment about her dragon would result in the fool not being able to speak for days after a punch to the mouth. “Guess that’s why I’ll keep living day by day and maybe tell her again I’m not interested in being a dad, being in a relationship, or being a pet bluerider.” There couldn’t be much else ranked higher on the stupidity list than telling a hormonal woman he had different views than her.
