Erisi was receiving no good vibes from this encounter, and was not so stupid as to be unable to tell that S'kef was judging him. The man was no longer Weyrsecond, but he was probably eager to get back into D'ren's favor. Ratting on Erisi apparently was a quick way to become D'ren's new best friend. The problem was that Erisi wasn't even sure that he wanted to mind his own behavior in front of the previous Weyrsecond. He was sure that he was bound to get into trouble without even trying, so why try and prevent it? Charath could probably fling a couple good reasons at him to keep himself polite and proper with S'kef, but she wasn't here--
I'm coming.
'Wait. No, no, no.' He recognized that wicked tone, though why Charath had decided that S'kef was somebody she could play with was beyond him. Maybe because she was a dragonet it'd be more excusable. 'You were just telling me to behave!' he whined anxiously into her mind. Apparently the idea of causing trouble was a hundred times more threatening when it was Charath who was getting them into trouble. Someone would tell him to mind his dragonet! He should be a better Weyrling! Don't you see how well Valerian and Veeth are doing? You should be able to handle your green just as efficiently!
I will behave. I am coming to make sure you do the same.
There was some time yet before Charath would actually arrive, and Erisi was keen to see S'kef gone before then. He did not need to be nannied by his dragonet, or outshone by her ability to cause mayhem. "You can't even stand up straight," Erisi answered coolly. While he was panicked with his dragonet, that only reflected in his thoughts at the moment. He was far more vicious towards S'kef, since he believed the bastard deserved it. "I'm surprised the Healers are allowing you to move about. Maybe they're hoping you'll walk yourself to death?" Well, it wasn't news that S'kef wasn't the most popular rider in the Weyr. Erisi even believed that he was more liked than S'kef.
'YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.' Erisi suddenly yelled into Charath's mind, since he wouldn't dare yell it at S'kef. The man really had to bring that up? It let Erisi know that S'kef was keen to take digs at him. His irritation was great enough now that he really couldn't keep it off his face. "Thanks," he answered, making it clear that he was anything but thankful for the comment. If anything, it made it clear that he would have been happier without hearing it. "I've got a nice face, I don't think even N'gelt could bring himself to truly ruin it."
'What are the chances of him falling over dead right now?'
Slim, Charath mentally sighed.
