Zoremet was unable to keep the pout off of his face as the "but" hit. He should have known that of course Lazerat would have responsibilities and couldn't go on a spur of the moment adventure because he was older and wiser and hot and the sort of person to be in charge of something that he'd need to get done. But he had said he'd love to go hiking sometime.
He clung to that idea tightly as he nodded. "Maybe some other time? Um. I can try to have Pit send you letters to check, or maybe A'tay can have Shadow send them since I don't think he loses letters as often." Was he being too eager and needy? Zory thought he remembered some suave older boy once upon a time that the key was to play it cool. That didn't seem right to him though, because how would people know you were interested if you didn't act interested?
The reminder about his brother made his shoulders sink even further. "Oh yeah... I really shouldn't. Hey Pit," he gently called to the green. She chirped as she hopped up onto his shoulder. "Go find A'tay and tell him where I am okay?" With all the seriousness she had for when her boy was lost, Pit straightened and chirped, hopping off to puff between to go find his brother. Zoremet turned to Laz and nodded. "She'll be able to get him here, no worries about that. Want to just sit while we wait? You visit Ista Weyr sometimes to visit Zelly right?"
The thought had him brightening a little. Maybe he could sneak in a little bit of his own time next time Lazerat stopped by! But he didn't want to intrude. "Maybe we can hang out or I can show you some of the hiking near the Weyr next time? If it's not too much trouble. I wouldn't want to take up too much of your time."
