“I feel like you missed the ‘dignified’ portion of my question given those examples,” Yfris countered even as he allowed K’dar to rescue him. He supposed that also wasn’t very dignified but really—he was ‘roughing it’ so what did it matter? Besides, how often was he told he lacked dignity with the way he behaved most hours of the day? Rolling out of a hammock ranked rather low on the list when all things were considered. Still, he couldn’t help muttering, “comfortable yet horribly inconvenient.”
Once he was settled on the log K’dar had been considerate enough to build the fire near, Yfris grabbed the wine bottle and took a swig. He chuckled when he realised that act was also undignified and then took another swig. Camping didn’t need dining ware and glasses or rules, apparently. If only it was warmer and had more furniture. And walls. A ceiling was nice as well.
“Warmth and wine do make things better,” Yfris stated as he watched K’dar move around their little temporary home with ease. He didn’t bother offering the bottle since the bronzerider had no taste for most alcohol. It had taken a lot of experimentation to find something K’dar would drink and even then it was a rarity. “I do still feel slightly deceived, however. Our definitions of camping are very different and your ‘slightly modified’ take on it is a bit of an understatement.” They had met while Yfris was on a camping trip of his own at the Fort Gather but his tent and K’dar’s tent were similar in that they both had material held up by poles and spikes. One of them had furniture. One of them did not. Although this wouldn’t be the first time he’d ended up falling asleep on the floor or ground.
“Fires are always a good place to tell stories. Perhaps you can tell me more about Katila.” The few people he knew that grew up there had been fairly open about their life there but he spent the most time with K’dar and the man was the easiest to prod for such things. “Although you can also continue flattering me if you prefer. You know that gets you everywhere with me.” Yfris grinned with a wink and drank some more wine.
