Ulliendis itched at his arm yet again and wondered if stitches were supposed to be so itchy when numbweed was slathered over the area. Shit, what if he was allergic to numbweed? He knew it was possible if incredibly rare and figured that would be his luck. He’d ask Rhamnus about it later when he returned to the healer’s room since he was currently on a much needed break.
When Rhamnus sent the invitation to come lend a hand and learn a bit more, Ulliendis figured he didn’t have much else to do beyond his chores. Besides, he hadn’t been to Benden Weyr—or any other Weyr—yet and with a Hatching coming up soon, he figured it would be helpful to know his way around a bit first in case he Impressed. Telling the Candidate Master that a healer required his assistance made the approval process even easier and Ulliendis found himself granted a handful of days to assist.
He had arrived two days earlier and was now halfway through his visit. Rhamnus kept him busy with ‘acquiring’ needed items that left Ulliendis rolling his eyes but he appreciated the chance to keep his skills up to snuff. When he wasn’t roaming around, he was learning more about poisons and even watched as Rhamnus would patch up a resident here and there suffering from normal every day injuries. And when he wasn’t doing either of those, he was free to wander in the evenings.
All well and good, but Ulliendis only knew Rhamnus and a few Candidates that had been at Fort’s last Hatchings. Well, he had started making new friends the previous evenings but he didn’t see any of those around either and Ulliendis was now left with the terrible task of either drinking alone, dragging Rhamnus away from whatever was occupying his time, or dragging someone else into drinking and conversing.
His gaze roamed around the Dining Cavern, sussing out the potential victim out of those loitering after dinner. He knew groups would start forming for socializing and he wanted to get into one of those groups before they settled in too much and he was seen as crashing. But then he saw the perfect target. A man sitting alone and seemed to be people-watching as well. A man after his own heart. As much as Ulliendis enjoyed being the centre of attention, he also loved watching others and learning things about them. He had a feeling this man would know some fun tidbits about the residents of the Weyr and sauntered on over.
“You look like a man that would appreciate my company, the wine I swiped from my host, and gossiping about other people,” Ulliendis stated as he invited himself to the seat beside the man---bluerider from the knots on his shoulder—so they could share the same view. “Tell me I’m wrong and I’ll call you a handsome liar and still stick around to be proven right. I didn’t bring glasses so we will also be utterly uncouth together as we drink from the bottle.”
